United Labor Needed, Says Bakers Union

CHICAGO-Passage of the Smith Connally anti-labor bill furnishes striking proof of the need for a united labor movement in America, the Bakers & Confectioners Journal declares in the leading article of its current issue. The Journal is publish ed by the Bakery & Confectionery Workers Intl. Union (AFL).
 The story points to the strong groups which are at work in this country to destroy unionism and to tear down and destroy the effective ness of the American labor move- ment through state and national legislation.
 ''The fact cannot be Iost,'' the article says, ''that anything the workers want to accomplish for the betterment of their conditions and further economic security must be achieved by a powerful united movement of all organized labor.

Group Selects Him
 To Succeed Heavey
By JOSEPH V. GROWN Aircratt Lodge TAB, LAM.

Rising above all feeling o1 partisanship, the A.F.L.-C.I.O. Public Affairs Committee of the Greater Hartford area this week unanimously endorsed the selection of Patrick J. Ward, president of the CLIO. City Council, as its candidate for the vacancy on the Board of Aldermen created by the resignation of former Alder. man Frank M. Heavey, mem Der of the A.F.L. Local B. 1913, Electrical Device Work. CTS.
 The election of Ward, CO., chairman of the Committee, is now assured as he has been un- officially selected by the Demo cratic Board, and his name will be the only one offered by the majority party at its next session.
 The selection of Ward is an inn portant victory for the Public Af- fairs Committee as it is entirely through the efforts of this group that the COS outstanding leader becomes the first labor candidate selected by a unified group of AFL and CIO representatives.
 Tn making its choice, the Commit tee, as always, considered first the value of the selection as a unifying in- fuence upon its future work.
 In a letter of endorsement to Mayor Dennis P. O'COnnor and the Board of Aldermen, the Committee wrote as follows:
 "In pursuance of its policy of unity in the ranks of organized labor, and after considering at length the question of appointment of a representative member of or zanized labor to the Board of AL dermen, the AFL-CIO Public Affairs Committee of the Greater Hartford area has unanimously agreed upon the selection of Patrick J. Ward, President of the Greater Hartford Industrial Union Council, CIO, as its candidate for the post left va- cant by the resignation of Alder man Frank M. Heavey.
 Representing, as 1t does, the Hart ford Central Labor Union and the CIO City Council, both of which have endorsed its purposes and functions, the Public Affairs Committee thus speaks for organized labor in. the Hartford area.
 "The accomplishments of our can didate for the aldermanic post are a matter of public record, and require neither enumeration nor exposition. As head of the CIO in Hartford, he has served that body faithfully and well. As co-chairman of the Public Affairs Committee, he has demonstrated those essential qualities of cooperation, non partisanship, and adherence to the principles of labor, which are so neces- sary in times of crisis, such as that in which we find ourselves today.
 SsWe of organized labor feel, therefore, that the election of MT. Ward to the Board of Aldermen, will accord us high type of repre- sentation, and will bring to the city council a valuable addition to its membership.
 ssWe urge you, and through you, the members of the Board of Alder men to name Mr. Ward az yOTr appOintee to the Board.'

Musicians Ready To

NEW YORK.-Declaring that his union members would make recordings free of charge for men in the armed services, Pres. James C. Petrillo of the American Federation of Musi- clans, has again refused to permit pro- duction of commercial recordings.
