ford Joint Labor Committee Plas Conference

New Haven Central Labor COun- ell and the Hartford C.L.U. at their last regular meetings unanimously approved the stand taken against the Connally bill by the ALL, as was expressed in Greens letter. Both instructed delegates in charge of such matters to convey the or ganization's stand to Connecticut Congressmen and to urge them to vote for the defeat of the bill.
 Answers to Bridgeport CL.U.'s letter might well be the same answers that Hartford and New Haven cen tral body will receive from the Washington representatives.
 Rep. Miller, who has previously in dicated his friendliness toward labor in a letter to the Hartford CL.U. condemning Rickenbacker, in his op- position to the so-called Absenteeism legislation, and the Hobbs Bill, de- clared that he is opposed to any form of labor-baiting legislation.
 "I realize full well that labor legis- lation introduced or supported by members from the deep South is not proposed for the benefit of organized labor and certainly not for the bene- fit of New England.
 Every member of the Connecticut delegation (to Congress) is honestly proud of the record of Connecticut labor. It has kept its promise in every

drive to make our nation the arse nal of democracy.
 "But even more gratifying has been the loyal and unswerving full filment of this pledge by the mem- bers of the American Federation of Labor during a period of abnormal economic pressure and hardships.
 PLEDGE FOR ALL
 'The Executive Council consid- CTS it timely and important to em- phasize now that the nO-strike pledge was made for the duration. It was given as labOr's contribution to victory. This solemn compact with our Government stands intact today, supported by the good faith and the high resolve of every Amer ican Federation of Labor worker. It must be maintained in letter and in spirit until this war is won.

road made rough when they sought work again in the industries, for those were the days when industry did its best to strangle infant in- dustrial labor unions. JOsIyn, too, found the doors of industry barred to him. It was discOuraging, but not enough to embitter him.
 He turned his hand to several things to earn a living, selling shoes, phonographs etc. Finally he went to work in the sheet metal shop of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, but the panic of 1907 caused his layoff be- fore the years end.
 B.A. SINCE 1882
 Joslyn found employment with the James E. Kelly & Son, in 1909, for whom he worked P years, hay ing been foreman, estimator and layout man. In 1882 he left the Kelly Co. to assume the duties of business agent of Local 40. Since that year he has represented the Local as a delegate at every annual of the Conn. Federation of Labor, and at the Sheet Metal Workers International conventions held every three years.
 JOslyn is a labor representative on the Connecticut Advisory Com mittee of the National Youth Ad- For several years he was vice-president of the Hartford Building Trades Council and at present is vice-president of the Conn. State Building Trades COun- ciI, of which he has been president.
 He took out membership in the old New Haven Local 225, in 1909, of which he was recording secre- tary. In 1920 when Local 225 was merged with Local 40, he became recording secretary of the consOli- dated union and served until elect ed business agent in 1882.

 We aren't going to get anywhere with politicians who know little or nothing about labor'S aspirations and are only concerned with getting labor S vote under false pretense," declared Barker. "The politicians don't see eye to eye with the man who carries the dinner pail"
 John J. Allen stated that he and the Teamsters were ''sOre'' over the situation which he characterized as dOuble-crOss for labor.
 In Hartford the JOint-LabOr Pub lie Affairs Committee sent letter to the Governor cOndemning his stand on the act and asking for the names of the labor leaders who were alleged to have said that this was the wrong time to press for the enactment of the labor relations act.
 All persons condemning the Gov ernor asked this same question, al- though most of them were not inclined to believe that any labor leader made such a statement to Baldwin, as he was quoted in the press as saying.
 The New Haven Central Labor Council at its last meeting unan- mously endorsed the statement made to The Union Times last week by Harold V. Feinmark, vice. president of the Conn. Federation of Labor and president of the New Haven Central Labor Union.
 Delegates to the Council stated that the outstanding gain of labor in the recent General Assembly was an inn provement of the Workmen's Com pensation Act, in which the Legis1a- ture went a little further than half way with the amendments asked by the Conn Federation of Labor. The section dealing with hernias was greatly improved.

Congressmen Answer Let ter Of Bridgeport C.L.U.
 On Connally Bill

Replying to letters received from Peter Benard, president of the Bridgeport Central Labor Union, Rep. William J. Miller promised to confer with both ALL. and CLIO. representative in Washington be- fore casting his vote on the Con- nalIy Bill.
 Benard sent a letter of protest against the Connally bill to all Con- necticut Congressmen in behalf of the C.L.U. on instructions form that bod yin May. The C.L.U. passed a resolution condemning the Connally bill after receiving letter from Pres. William Green of the A.F.L., who urged the defeat of the measure.
 Replies were received early this week from Congressman Miller, of the First District; Ranulf Compton of the Third District; Joseph E. Ta1- bot of the Fifth District and B. F. Monkiewicz at-farge. All promised to give the matter serious attention.

Disease Detectives
 Help Our War Worker.

A scientific detective force" of six dermatologists and a chemist has tracked down causes of skin disease, and prevented further outbreaks, among workers in more than 50 gov- ernment and privately-owned arsenals and war plants, U. s. Public Health Service officials announce.
 Before these doctor detectives of Public Health's Dormatoses Investi- gation, known as D 1, went to work, almost 15@o of the workers handling explosives in these plants suffered from some form of industrial skin disease.

The need for organization for workers was forcibly brought home to George A. Joslyn, business agent, Sheet Metal Workers, No. 40, when he and seven others in the sheet metal shop of the Winchester Re- beating Arms plant in 1906 staged an unsuccessful walkout in protest against the introduction of a speed up system.
 The strike failed, since only eight of the 2 shop employees went out. Joslyn knew that all sheet workers were embittered by the turn of affairs at the shop, and he felt then that had they been united in their efforts and affiliated with a bona fide labor union they would have been in position at least to compel serious attention from the Company.
 The eight strikers found their
