Council Asks Labor Dept. Investigation
(Continued from Page One)

The same issue carried story on the resignation of Mrs Christine Beeck, the third key member of the Department to quit under the pressure of the present administration.
 Responsible employees of the De- partment were asked by this paper to comment on Mrs. Beeck's separation. One, who stated that he dared not use his name for fear of reprisal, asserted that when the truth comes out it will be dynamite"
 Another worker suggested:
 ''With all this leaving an investi- gation should be made.
 Mrs. Beeck stated that more wage orders ought to be put through.
 Commissioner Danaher and De- putty Commissioner John T. Hayes when asked about this, told The Union Times, that the department was too short-handed now to make necessary investigation for more wage orders.
 The blame for any shortage of workers lies, Department workers charge, with Danaher and Hayes, whose general policy seems to be to reduce the staff. It is stated that ff- teen additional workers could be used.
 Frank Murphy, a wage inspector, isI now filling Mrs Beecks position as acting director of minimum wages, as well as his own job and that of wage compliance director.
 Hayes still retains his original posi- tion as factory inspector as well as that vacated by Morgan Mooney, former deputy commissioner.
 George McDonough's job on the State Board of Mediation and Arbi- tration has never been filled
 This state of affairs coupled with campaign of subtle abuse directed against the more efficient workers, is held responsible for a general lack of faith in the Department of Labor by both of Connecticut workers and employers.

fused to accept inc administration s sound tax plan and would have forced the nation into bankruptcy before yielding to it. Without a doubt the inequities of the present tax burden can be traced to the political machinatiOns of such as Congressman Compton.
 "A survey of Congressman Comp tons voting on general legislation is as deplorable as his votes against labor. Without going into detail, sui flee it to say that any program, re- gardless of its urgency in winning the war; whether it would help civilian morale, combat imitation, or in any way insure democracy here at home and thereby spare needless sacrifice of our brothers at the front has not merited the support of Congressman Compton.

Editor, The Union Times:

Editor. The UnIOH Times:
 | want to congratulate you on your campaign against landlords who refuse to rent houses or apart. ments to families with children. do not know how this problem is to be solved, but it is an evil practice which puts property values above human values, which makes it diff ficult to provide proper environ ment for growing children, and which works definite psychologi- cal harm to sensitive children. In some other communities our Chris tian churches have united against this practice, and although I can- not presume to speak for the other Protestant ministers of New Haven ! am confident that most of them are with you in spirit in this good work.
 REV. E. RALPH WIBORC. Hamden Plains Methodist Church.
The union times., 1943-08-14

At 72, Timothy A. Flanagan, senior member of Local Ills, Bridge port Carpenters, and president of the Conn. Federation of Labor from 1911 to 1914, looks back upon al- most half of century of active service in the trade union move ment of this state. 'sTim", as he is known to veteran uniOnists, has done an incalculable lot for the movement and the workers.
 He was in the forefront in the fight for the eight-hour day, for the Workmen's Compensation law, and against the vicious reference card" system. To him is due much of the credit for helping to organ ize the Bridgeport and the Con- necticut Council of Carpenters, the Bridgeport and the State Building Trades Council.
 Although unable to take an active part in present day unionism, Flanagan is not content to live among his memories. He is inter- ested in the future of organized labor.
 ssThe TWO great needs of the movement today are the reunion of the A.F.L. and CLIO. and revival of the militancy which prevailed a quarter of century ago." he de- cIares.
 ''Once the movement is united again, the unfinished work before us of organizing the unOrganized will be comparatively simple.''
 WALKING DELEGATE
 There were hardly more than a dozen members in Local Ills, Car penters, when Flanagan joined June Is, 1897, and the movement was looked upon with popular sus- picion. In 1900, Flanagan was elected business agent of the Local comprised at that time of IF car penters. Business agents were then known as walking delegates he re- calls, and were such a novelty that people stared after them in the streets and children whispered in awe as they passed.
 FIanagan's first act as business

Men Who Lead Labor:

agent was to buy a bicycle to ped dle from job to job in order to contact more tradesmen as recruits for the union.
 The Local had grown by 1904 to 100 members, about One-third of all carpenters in the city. In that year it signed its first contract. By terms of the contract the Master Builders Association agreed only to hire union men and the organized carpenters pledged themselves to work for no employer who was not member of the Builders Associ- atiOn.
 The result of this agreement, which was denounced by the Brotherhood, although permitted by it to stand for it's one year term, was to build up the membership in both organizations. Practically all of Bridgeport's carpenters became members of the Local.
 REFERENCE RACKET
 No sooner were the carpenters organized than the contractors be- gan a bitter fight to break the union. Their main weapon was reference card issued by the last employer. Without reference card a tradesman just was not hired. The result was the blacklisting of the most active unionists. In 1906, Flanagan lee, a l6-week strike of the few carpenters who had not been barred from employment. This strike succeeded in breaking the reference card scheme.
 He was business agent for twenty terms in the period of 1900 to 1925. Since joining Local l15, Flanagan has served in every office from door-keeper to president. He was delegate to Brotherhood's convention in 1912.
 A delegate to Conn. Federation of Labor for 35 years, Flanagan served 10 years as vice-president before becoming president in 1911. That was the year the General As sembly turned down the Workmen's Compensation Act.
 LABOR MOBILIZED
 Organized labor mObilized its full strength as we'll as public opinion among all workers in the state for a fight to the finish on the issue. Flanagan, together with Jasper McLevy and the late J. J. O'Neal, three stalwarts in the Bridgeport labor movement at that time, were responsible for the huge turnout of Park City workers at Hartford on that day in 1913, when the General Assembly overwhelm- ingIy passed the Workmen's Act.
 Flanagan was born September l6, 1870 at Fairfield and has been lifelong resident of Fairfield county. He is the father three children. The eldest, Herbert, was veteran in World War I, Luke, the youngest, also a member of Local 1l5, is in the Sea Bees.t His daughter, Loretta, is a trained nurse. The Flanagans have two grandchildren.
