Labor Management
Committees favored
Connecticut War Council Advises More Than 1000
Plants; New Suggestions Submitted

The manufacturing committee of
the Connecticut War Council, seek
ing to foster the formation of labor
management committees in Connec-
ticut industrial plants, has compiled
list of suggestions for the work
of such committees and is distribut-
ing 1t throughout the state. Copies
have been maiied to more than
thousand plants.
Recalling that Donald M. Nelson,
chairman of the War Production
Board, asked in March of last year
for the formation of labor manage
ment committees to assist in the war
production drive, the bulletin reports
that more than 10 such committees
are functioning in Connecticut.
1.-The idea behind the formation
of these committees" the foreword
says, sis the desire for means
through which employers and en-
ployes in the factory could have
a common meeting place to solve
production problems, to perform the
function of assisting management
to improve production, to effect a
full utilization of manpower, mate
rails and machinery"
The War Council bulletin asks
that additional accomplishments OF
labor committees be
reported to the manufacturing COM
mittee. Alfred C. Fuller, president
of the Manufacturers Association of
Connecticut and chairman of the
board of the Fuller Brush Company,
is the committee chairman. Large
and small industries and the princi-
pal labor organizations of the state
are represented in the membership
Listed in the bulletin are such
problems as conservation of mate
rails prevention of breakdowns,
training of factory workers, fire pre-
