 Hatters Get 2% Increase
VILE. Approves Retroac. tive Pay Adjustment Due
 Since Oct. 1, 1942

The New England War Labor Board has approved two per cent cost-of-living increase in pay for members of the Hatters Union em- ployed at the Hat Corp, of Amrica, South Norwalk. The increase is re- troactive to Oct. l, 1922.
 The union contract with the hat company provided for periodic adjust ments every three months to keep wages in line with the rising cost of living. The last adjustment was to be payable Oct. 1 on the basis of the cost-of living statistics of the US. Department of Labor.
 On Oct. 3, the Presidents Execu. tive Order barring increases, except in certain specified cases, became effective.
 The Hatters' case did not come within the specified categories emu merated by the Executive Order. Both the industry and the union con- tended that the increase was due the workers and had fallen due prior to the issuing of the wage freezing order. However, payment could not be made without the authorization of the VILE.
 Eight months afterwards, the BOs- ton office of the VILE. granted the company the right to pay the two per cent increase to the workers.

Teamsters To Open School. For Training
One Of First In Country Begins In Hartford
 On July 12

The first truck driving training school to be supported by govern ment funds in New England, and possibly in the country, will be es- tablished in Hartford, July l2 un- der the joint sponsorship of the Hartford War Manpower Commis- siOn's training program and the La bor-Management Committee of the Hartford Office of Defense Trans pOrtation.
 This project will be housed in Trade School as a part of its war training program and will be center ed on safe and scientific driving of tractor trailer trucks.
 Joseph Strange, of Local 671, Hartford Teamsters, who is an ex- cellent truck operator, will be the fulI-time instructor. A back injury precludes Strange's full-time em- pIoyment as truck driver. Chester Mavirres, another member of Local 67l, will assist Strang as part time instructor.
 PIONEER PROJECTS
 Three pioneer training projects for as many phases of the motor transport industry are being spon- sored by the O.D.T. and the W.M.C. of the Hartford area, according to Bob Whiteside, personnel manager of the New England branch of the Associated Transportation Co.,, who is chairman of the O.D.T. Labor Arrangements subcommittee on training.
 They are the school for drivers; a school for truck mechanics which got under way this week in Hart ford at the Trade School; and a training program for traffic rate clerks.

Billy Fitz Declines State w. MIG. Post

Former Representative William J. Fitzgerald, an A.F.L. man for many years, who has been serving as acting director of the Bridgeport War Manpower Area, this week told The Union Times that he is not in- terested in heading proposed Connecticut W.M.C. setup, but would rather be director of the New London Area to which he was named by President Roosevelt and confirmed by the Senate.
 Talk of establishing a statewide manpower area was rumored laAt week after having been dropped ear Her in the year in favor of city areas directly under the New England re- gional W.M.C. Indications are that the proposed State W.MC. would serve as an intermediary between the city areas and the regional offices in Boston. Many problems of a purely state nature might well be solved or partially adjusted by state set-up be- fore being referred to the New Eng W.M.C., 1t is felt.
 Fitzgerald is credited with doing an outstanding job in getting the Bridgeport Area in operation with in two weeks after being assigned to it as acting director. He has also set up and put into operation W.MC. areas in Stamford, Nor walk and Danbury, serving stimuli taneously as acting director in each.
 So well has he done the Bridge port job that last week the Park City plan was chosen by the Federal W.M.C. as a model plan for other areas.
 Because of the former legisla- tors success, Joseph A. Smith, re- gional director, asked him if he would consider taking the job as director of Connecticut Area if a statewide plan were inaugurated. He replied that he wanted to get back to his home base in New LOn- don of which he is, by presidential appointment, the director although he had not been assigned to the post by the W.M.C.

themselves" with their president.
 Sentiment among members of or ganized labor in Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford seemed from a spot check of opinions of union officials conducted by The Union Times to favor the exclusion of Lewis from the A.F.L.
 A number of Bridgeport business agents, with Bernard, signed the C.L.U.'s letter to Green on barring Lewis. Dennis P. Byrnes, -presi- dent of the Bridgeport Building Trades Council, and Harold Barker, business agent of the Carpenters Dis trict Council, both signed this letter. They stated that the letter spoke for them.
 Labor men in Hartford would not comment publicly on the Lewis matter, owing to the fact that the Hartford CL.U. has the same action under consideration.
 Among the several to comment pri- vate1y, one favored the reentry of Lewis. The sole exception felt that the A.F.L. now needs a srong per- sonality like Lewis.
 Sen. William A. Scott. president of the Hartford C.L.U. declared ssWe are not at all in sympathy with Lewis tactics. This is no time for strikes"
 Frank Morris, secretary of the C.L.U., said ''We are in full sympa- thy with the plight of the miners 5
 Not a few of the persons inter- viewed declined to comment on the subject on the grounds that they didn't know all the facts in the case, or that the decision should be made by the A.F.L. executive council.
 Sol Kreas, business agent of Lo- cal 186, New Haven Painters, de- clared that he heartily favored the action of the Bridgeport C.L.U. and that he would strongly urge his Local to take similar action.
 "I would like to see John L. Lewis come back to the A.F.L.," as- serted Thomas J. Kennedy, presi- dent of Local B-9O, New Haven Electrical Workers. ''I think he is the strongest man in the labor movement today. I feel that the Bridgeport C.L.U. made a mistake in asking the A.F.L. to keep him out.''

 The question of wage rates were being argued this week.
 Appearing for the LAM. were Atty. Jerome Y. Sturm and Vice. President Samuel Newman, New York; and General Organizer Fred Cederholm, Bridgeport.
 Lodge 53o was represened at the last meeting by: Pres. John Y. Yer mi1yea: Vice-Pres. John Stockla; Re cording Secretary, Milton Ferguson; Financial Secretary Daniel R. Sabia :; Treasurer Russell Charlesworth, and William Bennett, shop steward.
 A committee appeared for Lodge 1857. the pioneer Machinist union at the plant, as some points in the agree ment mutually affect both LAM: groups. This committee consisted of Floyd Perna shop stewart, William Palmer, recording secretary, and Michael Duffy, room representative.
 Representing the company were: Attorney Taylor; William R. Hoyt, general manager; John Williams, industrial relations director; Dowd R. Roof, assistant industrial rela- tions director; MT. Moger. head timekeeper, and MT. TunnisOn. in- dustrial efficiency director.

Panel Hearing Evdence On oqvne Dispute

in cooperation with the University of Connecticut and will be held at Hart ford Law School. It is planned to teach women this highly specialized branch of the trucking industry which has been almost the exclusive domain of men.
 If these training ventures suc- ceed, similar schools will be opened in Waterbury, New Haven, Bridge port and elsewhere when a need for one of them is made apparent, said Whiteside. Other members of the subcommittee are John Pisano, business agent of Local 443, and Pres. Edwin (Buster) Rice, business agent of Local 671, Teamsters.

Father And Son In Navy
 Meet In North Africa

A year ago James D. White of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, veteran of World War I, re-enlisted in the Navy. His son, James w. White, Y, enlisted in the Navy shortly thereafter. Each was sent to separate duty.

 Prior to re-entering the Navy, the father was secretary of Cedar Rapids Truck Drivers Union of the Inter national Brotherhood of Teamsters.

Half an hour before supper, Melissa
Mileaway came in and stayed! The
special company supply shelf is
no more. In other years it used to
form backlog for extemporaneous

WHAT n 20 To those who love
to invite their friends to stay to
meals, inability to provide for them
is a very real distress. But on occa-
sions when unthinking visitors stay

tons imposed by point rationing. in
stead of adding difficulty to an
always embarrassing situation, ac-
tually solve it. The answer to James

Let's consider, for example, the
plan devised by two neighbors
whose husbands - in common with
many other hard workers in war
plants - like nothing so much as a
good roast for dinner. but who also
like to spend their Sunday at home
alone.
UNDERSTANDING WIVES solve the
problem this way: They both save
coupons until. together, they have
enough to buy a two-rib roast. 1t
is then cooked in the kitchen OF
one of them and, when ready to
serve, it is cut evenly in two. In
anticipation of this - before it is
cooked, they tie a string between the
ribs and tight around the center of
the roast. This will serve as a guide
when the time comes to use the
carving knife.
Each then serves her own half in
her own house and both husbands
are happy!
