LABOR RELATIONS ACT

LABOR RELATIONS ACT
 Feinmark said that the Fedora tion's legislative program would be headed by the State Labor Rela- lions Act, adding that the full text of the proposed Act would be made public in the near future. He pre- dicted that the Act would become law, Eff all organized labor. with the aid of labor's friends in all walks of life, unite to show that the people of Connecticut want this law passed"
 "We knOw," Feinmark said, ''that the State Labor Relations Act will be passed by the Senate, and 1 believe we can convince the House of Representatives of the need of this urgent legislatiOn.'
 Full details of the proposed i'm provements in the Workmen's Com pensation Law are now being drawn up in accordance with the action of the last convention of the State Fed eration, Feinmark said, pointing out that while the 1943 amendment to the Worhnen's Compensation Law, which increased the maximum weekly pay ment to $50 was a good one, the amendment should be looked upon as token of action yet to be expected in this field, rather than as evidence of completed job."
 For great many years there has been a lag, in Connecticut, in bring ing this important legislation abreast of the developments that have taker place in some progressive States. Fo1 example, 1t IS a matter of very Seriou; concern to the workers that the per. centage of wages paid as workmen'; compensation in Connecticut is only 50%o, as compared with o6 2/3%o il many other States, and with 70%o II | Wisconsin. Moreover, the payment are so limited as to duration that, they often run out at the time when tht injured worker or his dependents may be most in need of protection.
 ''FOr example, payment fol permanent total disability can con tinue only for 52O weeks, as com pared with payments for life in { number of States. Another exam pie of the serious inadequacy Oi the Connecticut benefit payment. is the number of weeks for whicl compensation is paid for the los. of member. For example, il Connecticut the worker is paid fOI only PTS weeks for the loss of al arm at the shoulder, as compared with 500 weeks in Wisconsin.
 With regard to the nationwide program to assure the maximum en- ployment of workers, not only during the wartime emergency, but under postwar conditions, a very serious gap in the Connecticut legislation is the lack of any provision for sec ond injury fund, to aid the employ ment of handicapped workers and soldiers.
 ''Under such a provision work. CT who, for example, has lost an arm or eye, and then in a subse- quent accident loses another mem Der and becomes totally disabled, would be paid for the permanent total disability. However, the em- ployer who gave job to the handi- capped worker would be charged only for the loss arising from the second iniurv. and inc remainder
