Senate Revamps Women Work Bill

The State Senate last week tackled two amendments on the House bill to amend the State Labor laws by giving the Gov ernor power to certify the em- ployment of women and minors up to 55 hours week.
 After a prolonged debate with Senators Leon RisCassi, Democrat, Hartford, minority leader, and James P. Ceelan, Democrat, New Haven, opposing Majority Leader Stanley P. Mead, Republican, New Canaan, and Maxsim Pepin, IT,, Re- publican, Jewett City, Senate chair man of the Labor Committee, the proposed measure was amended to provide that:
 CD Women cannot be em- plOyed to start or leave work on shifts between l and 6 AM, un- less adequate transportation is provided to and from their homes and place of employment.
 CD One day of rest in seven must be provided all workers in Connecticut, unless prior agree ment is in effect with the em. plOyes and their employers, or between the workers and a Fed eral Government Agency provid- ing for one day of rest in eight.
 CEELAN'S AMENDMENTS
 These amendments were pro- posed by RisCassi, after the sena- tors had narrowly defeated an amendment offered by Ceelan which included these points and a provision that would bar the em- plOyment of minors between l6 and l8 more than 48 hours a week.
 The House had previously passed the 55-hour Labor Committee Bill, after Herbert Wanderer, chairman of the Committee, announced that when it became law, Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin would withdraw his War Order No. Z, which suspended provi- sions of the labor laws governing the hours of employment of women in an

 BROKERS WHO have been har- vesting fantastic fees from war contracts have little to fear from legislation designed to curb their activities unanimously passed by the House this week. Only 45 mem bers were on the floor at the time, many others having gone to the opening baseball game.
 Technically, it legalizes the brokers business, which has been bitterly denounced by several Con- gressiOnal committees. The only penalty is that the fees of any broker receiving more than $25, 1000 year will be subject to review by the renegotiatiOn boards of the Maritime Commission and War and Navy Departments.

emergency as well as to strike out the provision regarding unemployment ot women between the hours of 1 and 0 AM. The seriousness of the Gov ernor's order was revealed when the Manufacturers Association stated that all limitations were lifted from the work hours of women; later they changed the tune to state that "al- though no limits had been specified that there were limits" The Associa- ton also stated in a form-letter to members that it was not necessary to grant one day off to workers out of seven.
 The bill as passed by the House would give the chief executive power to extend indefinitely, as the circum- stance might warrant, the certihca- ton of Labor Department permitting mechancal firms the right to employ women and minors 10 hours a day and as much as 55 hours a week. Upon investigation the Labor Depart ment IS authorized by law to permit employers, in emergencies, to work women and minors in excess of the standard 48hour week and the o-hour day. This permission is limited by the law to an eight-hour period. A war time emergency provision granting the Governor the right to extend this period, expired Feb. 10, 1943. The House amendment would in effect re- store that expired clause.

were not satisfied with the amount
Of the increase and have resorted to

This has shut down factories
making combat tires, gas masks,
barrage balloons, life belts, airplane
de-icers, tank treads, anti-aircraft
guns and machine-gun clips. Fur
thermore, the strike is being enforced
by surrounding the gates of the fac
tories with mass picket lines-a re-
sort to mob rule to prevent the return
of some men who apparently want
to work.
No other union, since the begin

Men Out Of Step

From the Independence tKans) Reporter.
Why does Washington appear so con-
sistently working at cross purposes-to
wallow in sea Of conflicting policies.
statements and directives?
Conceding that 1t is the traditional
American spirit for every group to blame
every other group, G. B. Arthur, business
man and former WPB official, says that
most Of the confusion can be traced to
men from peacetime Government agen-
cies and from classrooms.
They have produced disorder and
delay in many things for which they are
responsible, because the conduct of the
war-apart from strategy and tactics of
battle-is matter of business and they
have not been trained in business.
Their training, motive and methods
have been based on philosophy of restric-
ton. Men with such background ap-
parently cannot realize that their war
job is to clear away rather than set up
new distractions.

Government by organized labor at
the outset of the war.
Heretofore, in virtually all in
stances, strikes Of any consequence
have been aimed at speeding up
WLB consideration of grievances or
fancied grievances of workers. With
the exception of the soft coal case,
which belongs in a class Of its own,
no important union has struck
against the board itself. But that is
precisely what the $4,000 Akron rub
ber workers-members of the CIO-
have done.
Their case had been considered at
great length by the board and a wage
increase had been granted. But the
