LABOR Farley
Question of Seniority
Rights, Salary Increases
Hats Progress

Another session between members
Of the CLIO. Mine, Mil and emelter
Workers union Of the American
Brass Co., and company officials
ended this morning with no final
decision reached on the matter Of
formal contract. It Is understood
that a great many details pertaining
to seniority rights and salary In
creases must be ironed out before
the matter is settled.
John J. Drisco1l, executive secre-
tary Of the CLIO. was present at
today's meeting together with the
joint committee OF the company
membership made up of employees
from the three company division
plants, Waterbury, Torrington and
Ansonia. Mr.. Driscou stated that II
was recommended by the joint COM
mittee that the membership COM
prising each locas union of the three
towns take action, formally, against
the matter Of the Little Steel
formula.
1t was decided by union officials
today that a comprehensive survey
will be made, Immediately, of the
prices ON commodities, as listed by
the OPA as the most essential to
living, dating from January. 1941,
and continued to the present, for the
purpose of determining the broad
increase that has resulted in the
cost of living rise. It Is hoped by
these officials to have figures on
this survey, by the end Of the week,
to show their basis used for their
requested wage increase.
The last general pay increase
Connecticut brass workers re-
ceived was an eight-cents-an-hour
boost contained in War Labor
Board decision handed down in set
tlement of a wage dispute between
the union and the American Brass
Co. This was made retroactive to
May, 1912.
The announcing the CLIO inten-
lions, Driscoll echoed the views
of Union President Philip Murray
by saying that price sterilization
has not kept step with wage controls
imposed by the Little Steel" for

said:
at 10 . matter of qualification
that In this war colleges and uni
versities have been permitted to
make substantial contributions to
the promotion Of the war effort. 1t
gives good ground for the hope and
expectation that in their fields of
activity will be found the oppor-
tunities for postwar reconstruc-
ton OF the highest type, that Is,
for the rebuilding of the educational
careers which have been inter-
rupted or disputed by the war. and
for the provision Of facilities which
win make liberal and professional

fairs and more faithfully reflect the
