Bridgeport Central Body In
structs Officers To Keep
Eye On Congress

Preparing for fight-to-the-fin-
ish on any bill for the CONSUMPTION
of labor, the Bridgeport Central La
Dor Union went unanimously on re-
cord at its last meeting as opposing
the drafting of workers until all
other methods are exhausted.
The C.L.U. passed a resolution ask
ing its officers to be on alert for the
attempt to introduce a national service
bill in Congress, and to take whatever
proper action it deems best for defeat
ing the measure should it come to a
vote
4. Timothy O'TOole, delegate from
Local 2, Bricklayers, introduced the
resolution, pointing out that organ
lied labor is opposed to drafting
workers.
John ]. Egan, secretary treasurer
of the Conn. Federation of Labor
and delegate from Machinists
Lodge 80, spoke on the subject tell
ing the delegates that a national
service bill was i'm congressional
committee and that it might be sud-
denly reported out.
The resolution also instructed Off
GERS of the C.L.U. to keep in touch
with Egan lest the bill be reported out
Unexpectedly. Egan in turn volunteer
ed to give immediate notice in that
event
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers, whose read
mittance to the. American Fedora
ton is a subject for consideration
at the ALL. convention, was dis
cussed at the meeting.
Egan told the delegates that Lewis
had done a great service for organ
lied labor in the past. He further
stated that he disagreed with Lewis
policies often, and was of the opinion
that the Miners would not be admitted
to the ALL, if Lewis was barred.
Peter Bernard, president of the
C.L.U., called Lewis ga big bluff, -
and said he would attend the
ALL. convention for the expressed
purpose of voting to keep Lewis
out. Bernard declared that he want
ed to see the Miners return to the
ALL. fold.

State O.P.A. Seeks
Support Of Labor
Arpaia Urges ALL, C.LO., r. r. Unions To Send
Delegates To Price Control Farley, Oct. 20,
At New Haven

All branches of organized
labor in Connecticut were this
week invited to send delegates
to a statewide RatiOning and
Price Control meeting to be
held at Hotel Taft, New Haven.

O.P.A. Director Anthony F
Arpaia in a letter to ALL.
C.I.O., and Railroad Brotherhood
Locals urged every union to send
at least one, and possibly several
delegates, to this meeting for the
purpose of discussing the follow

CD Roll back in the price
of living to the level of Sept.
1912.
(2) Meat Shortages.
(3) Cost of Living outlook.
(4) Elimination of the
Black Market.
The general idea of the parley is
to stimulate labor's interest in and
supply a clear understanding of the
problems and certain basic facts con-
corning the O.P.A. program.
Reiterating his attitude on the
need of organized labor's whole
hearted support of the price con-
troll program he emphasized in an
interview with The Union Times,
Arpaia declared:
1--WE need the help of labor lead
ers in bringing to all organized work
ers in Connecticut a clear understand
ing OF their stake in the success OF
this home front battle.
eve cannot do our job without
the complete support of organized
labor, and labor cannot give that
support without clear understand
ing of certain basic facts"
Arpaia will open the morning ses-
sion with Introductory remarks. He
will be followed by Joseph B. Basine
state price officer, who will speak OF
the outlook on the cost of living. Two
short movies will be shown.
The fight against the black market
will be discussed by J. Stepher
Knight, chief enforcement attorney
The morning session will conclude
with talks by Douglas ]. Bennett, in
formation officer, and Sanley Crute
rationing officer.
The afternoon session will be
thrown open for a general discus
sion by labor representatives OF
such matters as the outlook fol
gasoline, tire and fuel rationing

All C.L.U. delegates are going at

that this second war ALL. conven-

the dominant theme.

Green Calls
On Unions To
Defeat Foes
National, State, And Local
AMliates Receive Call
From Washington

WASHINGTON. - ALL.
President William Green this
week issued nationwide call
to all affiliated organizations
to get busy at once with plans
for political action in this
years and next years cleo
tons.
Mr.. Green emphasized that
many members of Congress and
State Legislatures who voted for
anti-labor measures will be can
didates for reelection and should
be defeated regardless of their
political affiliations.
II am, therefore, addressing to
you this official communication
calling upon all officers and mem
bers of the American Federation of
Labor to begin preparations for the
political campaigns of this year and
next year as WELL" Mr.. Green
wrote.
"The full political strength of labor
should be modified and united in
support of candidates regardless of
political affiliations who are sympa-
thetic and friendly to labor and in
opposition to those who have shown
themselves to be our enemies and who
are unsympathetic to labor's legisla-
tive and economic policies. We posi-
lively can defeat our enemies and
elect our friends if we mobilize and
unite labor's full political strength.
We can do this if we will. The re-
Sponsibility lies with US.
LET us meet this responsibility, dis
charge our duties and protect our
membership against injustice by de-
feating our enemies and electing our
friends to public Office.
''In order to accomplish this re-
suit, the Executive Council direct
ed me to call upon all members of
the American Federation of Labor
to qualify to vote in the general
election by meeting fully the pri-
mary and election requirements for
voting. Let all our membership and
its friends register where registra-
ton is required for participation in
elections and meet any other legal
qualifications provided for in our
election laws in order to vote. sug-
gest that committees be appointed
by central bodies and local organ
izatiOns for the express purpose of
seeing to it that every member re-
gisters and qualities for voting and
that all members go to the polls
and vote.
In addition I respectfully suggest
that the records of Members of Con-
gress and of state legislatures which
show the way they voted in favor of
anti-labor legislation or against it, be
examined and studied. Candidates for
election to Congress and state legis-
latureS should be called upon to state
in positive terms their attitude to-
ward labor, labor's legislative policies
and labor legislation.
LET us in this way prepare now
for the great political battles of
I943 and 1914. Through such
preparation we cannot fail to win
decisive victories for labor"

us. Board Orders Continu-
alton of 1920 Plan At
Russell Co.

The Wage and Hours Division
of the us. Department of Labor
has ordered the Russell Manufac-
turing Co., MiddletOwn, to restore
a 10 per cent guaranteed bonus to
l 900 members of Federal Local
2l577, Textile Union, employed
at the plant.
The bonus had been paid week
ly up until June /. About that time
War Labor Board approved wage
adjustments at the factory to cor
rect inequalities within the plant.
This increase averaged five cents
an hour for all employees but it ac-
tualIy created rises for only 600
workers, according to union Off
ciaIs.
Without consulting or notifying the
Local the company discontinued pay
ing the bonus. On inquiry as to the
reason for this action officials of the
firm told representatives of the Local
that owing to renegotiation of war
contract profits had been cut. They
contended that the bonus was a profit
sharing idea and that the firm didn't
feel justified in continuing it.
Thereupon the Local took the mat
ter up with the W.L.B. on the ground
that the refusal to pay the bonus was
a violation of the Presidential order
for holding the line on wages. The
Board in turn referred the union to
the Wage and Hours Division. ALL.
