Hartford Milk Case Is Arbitrated
Dairy And Local 559 Give Delivery Dispute To
 State Board

The controversy between the Bry- ant and Chapman Dairy, Hartford, and Local 559, Teamsters, over the six-day week growing out of the Of flee of Defense Transportation pro- hibiting Sunday deliveries, has been submitted to the State Board of Me diation and Arbitration for settle ment.
 The company has asked the whole sale delivery men to work six days, performing Sundays work on Satur- day. The men up until June 1, when the O.D.T.'s order went into effect, were on fve-day schedule, doing what was formerly six days work in that time. Relief men performed the seventh days work.
 H enry Dauphinais, business agent of the Local, said the work CTS feel that if they performed dou- ble work on Saturday they should have two days off a week. They contend that they need a twO-day rest. However, if they are obliged to work six days a week, they say that they are entitled to a full days basic pay for the extra day.
 The company has offered $3.75 ex- tra compensation for the extra day, and initiated the move for arbitration. The decision of the Arbitration Board will be binding on all milk companies under contract with the union, and will be retroactive to June 1, subject to approval of the War Labor Board.

 Close to 10000 men and women are employed at the Martin plant, most of whom are eligible to vote in the election, which is to be held in the plant on company time.
 Union leaders pointed out that Mar tin employees are being paid rates av- eraging 20 cents an hour below those received by union workers in aircraft plants in the same area and in the aircraft industry generally. Hereto fore, however, there has been no union which could definitely represent the majority of the workers in bargaining with the company.

Hartford CLU.
 Would Not Bar Miners
Delegates Turn Down The Recommendation Of
 Executive Board

Frank Morris, secretary of the Hartford Central Labor Union, this week reported that the delegates of the the C.L.U. at their last meeting voted to favor the reafiIiatiOn of the United Mine Workers with the American Federation of Labor. At the same time the C.L.U. disap- proved the methods of John L. Lewis and the operators in the coal mine negotiations.
 Both the Bridgeport and New Lon don Central Labor Unions have pass ed resolutions asking Pres. Green of the A.F.L. to bar the readmittance of Lewis. At a previous meeting the Hartford C.L.U. after considerable discussion on a similar resolution turned the subject over to the execu- tive board for further study and recommendation.
 The Board recommended that a resolution be drawn up favoring the readmittance of the miners, but not under the leadership of Lewis, whose attitude was condemned. Considerable discussion again ensued before a vote was taken.
 Another recommendation by the executive board was defeated by the delegates, At an earlier meeting the Connecticut Conference On Social and Labor Legislation invited the RC.L.U. to name a member of the executive board. This request was turned over to the executive board. The Board recommended that the invitation be declined.
 The delegates refused to accept this recommendation, but did not follow through their refusal with positive action of formally accepting the in-. vitation of the Conference on Social and Labor Legislation. The C.L.U. sent delegates to the meeting of the Conference when it was held in New Haven recently.

The Hartford Public Affairs Committee Defers Wash ington Trip On Area
 Problems

A delegation from the Hartford JOint-Labor Public Affairs Commit tee visited the regional head quarters of the War Manpower Commission and of the Office of Price Administration in Boston last week, taking up the problems it had planned to discuss with officials of the W.M.C. and O.P.A. in Washing ton.
 After receiving word from the na- tional capital that all questions must be taken up with regional offices oi the agencies before appealing to the federal offices, the Committee sent its delegation to Boston to confer on the manpower and price control situations in the greater Hartford area.
 The Committee had originally de- cided to journey to Washington to lay its grievances before the na- tional agencies and to confer with national legislators. It feels that price regulations do not fully pro- tect the consumers and that there are numerous maladjustments in the use of manpOwer in the area.
 Upon the outcome of the Boston visit and other factors including pos slbly the return of Congressman to Washington will depend the journey of a delegation from the city to the national capital on these matters, a spokesman indicated.
 The Committee has set Sunday, Sept. IF, as the date for the Hart ford Public Affairs Conference to be held in Hotel Bond from 1880 to 6 P. M.
