!. Cooperation OF
Industry Sought
ByA.F.L. Green

BOSTON.-Labor as we'll as in
dustry has a stake in free enterprise
ALL. Pres. William Green told a
Chamber of Commerce luncheon here
this week.
Declaring that management and
labor had won the battle of prOduc-
ton together, Green stressed the
importance of continuing coopera-
ton after the war.
''The big job ahead of us, as we
all realize, is to produce for peace
time needs on a scale even more
extensive than the current war pro-
duction program" Green said.
Domestic and foreign markets for
the peacetime products of indus
try will be wellnigh imitless. Our
own people and the people of the
entire world are starved for goods.
AT the same time the millions OF
war workers and the millions of men
in the armed services will be in des-
perate need of jobs. American private
industry faces the opportunity of &
century in making it possible to sup
ply these needs and to provide these
jobs

100000 Members
Are Back In Fold

BOSTON. - The powerful
international Association OF
Machinists, which Withdrew
from the ALL. May II, re
turned to the fold on the
fourth day of the 63rd ALL
convention.
Facing an unusually crowded
morning session, ALL. Pres
William Green announced that
Sec Treas. George Meany would
deliver a supplementary report OF
the executive council. Meany then
told of the A.F.L's efforts to
bring back the LAM. Gin the in
terests of harmony within the
family of the ALL" and read
a letter from LAM. Pres. Har-
vey Brown announcing his TN
ions decision to return.
Seconding motion was made by
Morris A. Hutcheson of United Bro.
of Carpenters & JOiners, indicating
that a formula for smoothing out
differences between the machinists
and carpenters had been worked
out. When the LAM. left the ALL.
in May. following authorization by
a national referendum, Brown
charged favoritism by the ALL.
executive council in the I.A.M.'s jul
risdictional dispute with the car
penters.
By a standing vote the I.A.M.'s
return was unanimously approved by
the convention.
The most thunderous applause this
convention has yet heard greeted
Green's happy comment: Il regard
this as great achievement and we
extend to this organization, which has
been with us for SO many years, a
hearty welcome back into the ALL
We are happy to have them back with
us agar"
On recommendation of Meany,
the credentials committee seated
the machinists' delegation, headed
by Brown. Meany announced that
the LAM. had paid its per-capita
tax to the ALL. up to and includ-
ing September 1913, thus bringing
the total ALL. membership from
5,939,O21 to 6,564,l4l as of Aug.
81. The LAM, third largest union
in the ALL, has 1854 votes at
the convention.
While the return of the LAM. had
been generally expected, its timing
came as a surprise to most delegates
Less of a surprise would have beer
an announcement on the United Mine
Workers, since reports that the reso-
lutions committee had agreed to the
U.M.W.'s return have been gaining
currency here.

police court judges have shown I'M
due leniency to these offenders, by
imposing light fines on them.
1t is feared that the bowling alley
operators will continue to bring pres
sure to bear to have Gov. Baldwin
suspend portions of child labor laws
to enable them to recruit legally school
children as pin boys. Indications so
far are that the Governor is standing
behind the policy of the Labor De-
partment on the matter.
Both the War Manpower Com
mission and the ChiIdren's Bureau
of U. S. Department of Labor favor
keeping children in school rather
than in permitting them to work,
even in such occupations that may
be essential.
The Children Bureau recommends
that there be no slackening of the
states child labor Standards 1t speci-
fcally urges that children under 10
who are permitted to work in some
states. should not be engaged in any
occupation that interferes with their
school work. Children between IA and
10 should not be permitted to work
more than three hours day, nor
should they be employed after 7 PM.
These recommendations as now
followed through by Connecticut
preclude children under 10 work
ing in a bowling alley, where the
main hours of employment are af-
ter PM. In most cases of viola
tiOns of the state law in this re-
spect, it was discovered that such
employment not only interfered
with the studies of the pupils
involved but actually retarded the
entire class. The greatest immediate
damage was that done to the health
and the morals of pin boys.

Studying Child
Labor Situation
Council Empowers Execu.
tive Board To Make In
vestigation To Protect

Concerned with the threat to
the child labor laws in an insist
ent demand for lowering the age
limits for boys employed in bowl
ing alleys, the New Haven Cen
trail Labor Council at its last
meeting, empowered its Execu-
tive Board to make thorough
study of the problem. The board
will also study for guidance in
the matter the recent statement
on Sabotage workers, by the
y. S. Children's Bureau of the
Dept. of Labor.
The Council voted unanimously
to make a study of the situation
with view to planning most effec-
tive protective action, after William
Enright of Local 1876, Painters, re-
ported that bowling groups are
making a determined effort to have
Gov. Baldwin use his war powers to
lower the age limit to Ia or Is
years.
Faced with shortage of pin boys
because of the acute manpower situa-
ton, the bowling alley proprietor;
have for more than year been try
ing to gain the States permission t.
hire boys under 10. A strong move il
this direction was anticipated at the
last session of the General Assembly
but the prospects turned out poorly
that no bill was offered.

although suffering from failing eff
cheney on other fronts, has con
sistently enforced child labor laws

that violators be prosecuted in

White Collar Wage
Raise Is Authorized

A coalition of labor and employer
members of the National War Labor
Board overrode the public members
this week and sanctioned a uniform
salary setup for 1000 office workers
in four Curtiss- Wright airplane plants.
Only once before has such a COM
bination against the public members
taken place In this instance it will
result in pay increases for most of the
5000 clerical employees,
Public members, in opposing the
uniform salary plan, contended it
would upset going rates" for such
work in the areas in which the Cur
tiss-Wright plant are located. The
laborites and employers maintained
that salary sterilization in the entire
Curtiss- Wright organization is neces-
sary because of constant transfers be-
tween the various plants. The ap-
proved plan establishes salary rates
ranging from $22 and upward week.

few came with the intentions OF

Willkie opened the off-the-recoro

a orass-roots canvass of the nation
had convinced him he could have
the Republican nomination again IN
1914 if he wanted it. He stated THIS
as a fact, with no seeming concelt'
hut with disarming frankness that
charmed the COP politicoes instead
of antagonizing them.
However, I will tell you very
frankly" he continued, unless the
party has the kind of platform that
will show we are conscious OF the
fact that the United States can nc
longer live as a nation isolated from
the rest of the world, will not ac-
cept the nomination
He added that if he is to be the
1914 nominee, the platform must
clearly call for U. S. collaboration
with other nations to insure the
future peace of the world. On do
nestle issues, he stated that there
will be no return to reactionary
anti-labor policies Of former COZ
administrations if he is to LEAD tne

Postwar Plan
OF Education
Proposed

WASHINGTON, Oct. PA bill
lion dollar program to provide post
war educational opportunities for
men and women in the armed serv-
ices has been recommended to Con-
gress by the President.
The program was developed by a
special committee OF educators
President Roosevelt appointed last
November when he signed the law
drafting men of ID and 10. He re-
commended that the Federal gov
eminent make i. financially possible
for every man and woman who has
served six months or more in the
armed forces since September is
1910, when Selective Service went
into effect to receive a years
training at an educational institr-
ton to equip them for gainful pur-
suits in peacetime.
A limited number of the service
personnel will be selected for spec
ial aptitudes, ard permitted to
carry on their education an addi-
tional one to three years.
The Federal government will meet
not only the educational costs but
will provide for their maintenance
The committee on financial ar
rangements suggested giving every
full time student tuition and fees
in an approved institution, plus $50
month for single persons and SIS
for married men, plus $40 for each
child to meet living expenses.
