A number of serviceFnen have been reported aggrieved cecause the concern has refused to take into account the time spent in the armed forces. The ex-servicemeE claim it is the intent of the Se- lective Service Act not only to guar antee them their jobs after they return to civilian life but to give them the plant seniority and serv- ice status they would have had if they had not entered military serv- ice.
 A committee of IS members se- lected at the three branch plants vii go to Boston in the near future to confer with Saul Wallen, chair man of the regional War Labor Board, to discuss the grievances. it was disclosed today. The group will insist that the concern be made to sign a contract, already drawn up, which includes provisions for arbitration, it was reported.
 Union officials reported today that when the contact is signed. an arbitrator will be named to hear the dispute on the vacation pay considerations.
 The regional authority yesterday was asked to set a date for con- ference with the IS representatives. and 1t is believed the meeting vii! be held in the very near future.
 Among the employees involved Ii the dispute are several from tn French Small Tube division in Wa terbury. who were discharged last winter due to contract cut-back and later were rehired when new contracts were secured. This group claims their status should be what it would have been if their employ ment had not been interrupted.
 The servicemen's phase of the dispute is expected to develop into major issue at the concern, with the outcome to determine possible union action elsewhere, 1t has been indicated.
 It also has been reported other individual grievances on vacation pay decisions will be brought P when the issue reaches the arbitra- tor.
 Creation of a new bonus system at the manufacturing concern has been mentioned as a possible de- velopment, but no comments were available today. It is understood that a new plan is being devised and may be ready for presentation shortly.

It is also claimed that these latter towns seem inclined toward the support of Hurley for governor.
 It is possible that Byrnes win re- ceive the indorsement of the Wa- terbury delegation contingent up- on inside" political developments at the state convention this week end. It did not seem likely at this date that any compromise candt- date would be thrown into the pic. ture although such a possibility al- ways remain particularly if no one candidate can show sufficient per- sonal strength to oppose such a move.
 1t seemed unlikely also that can- didate Edward c. Clancy of An- sonia presented considera ble strength to be shown much favor at the convention. Peter Higgins, Tor- rington, candidates of the c. I. o. is not expected to present any dele gation strength favorable to his nomination.
 The nomination will depend sole- ly on the strength shown by any one candidate within the field when Mondays convention gets underway. As stated here, a last minute" candidate can be showed to the fore front at convention time and "steamrolled" through the conven- ton by the powers. The Democratic nomination in the Fifth District has always been a matter for con- siderable speculation and has al- ways been subject to political con- tingencies that are retained in the background, at all times. such fac- tors may be the determining in- fluence Monday.

 Meanwhile the fifth compression. al candidacy race in the Democra. tic ranks began to show signs Of formulation. What has been termed an indirect repudiation of the can idacy of Atty.

study of present school safety pro-

LAb0R'S UNION RECORD CITED
Who Are The
Veterans?
By RUTH TAYLOR

We've talked a lot about what the
attitude OF the returned veterans will
be toward Organized Labor. We know
how high the feeling has been against
the unauthorized strikes, how much
bitterness was stored up. We've
worried about it-and some of us have
written articles about it-among them,
myself.
But | heard new slant ON it the
other day that | want to pass on to
you. 1t was in statement Lew Herr
mann made recently at a Kiwanis Club
meeting. They were asking him what
would happen when the soldiers came
home. Now you know Lew. We all
know Lew. He likes a good fight. So |
sat tight and waited for the fireworks.
He smiled with deceptive sweetness
and said, when the boys come home,
they'll be SO busy doing just what |
did after the last war, and what lots
of you did, look for job with good
wages-that they won't have time to
spend getting mad at Organized Labor
for keeping the wages up to a living
standard"
1t went over-not with a bang
which is quickly forgotten-but with a
deep seeping down into the conscious
ness of the men there. You could see
that faint look of reminiscence over
their own struggle They had been
thinking of the soldiers coming home
as men who would still be soldiers
they had forgotten that once demObil-
lied they would be job seekers, men
who had to eat-and who wanted a
living wage.
You know think lot of us have
forgotten that, too. Demobilized vet
Grams are men who have to work. to
eat. They will want the advantages of
fair dealings, the security of Organ
lied Labor-provided they are sold on
the welcome that awaits them in the
trade unions.
OF course, every member of a trade
union knows what is planned or should.
But couldn't there be little more
public selling of the comprehensive
plans under way? Couldn't there be a
blocked notice on this in every issue
of every labor paper? Couldn't slips
for posting be sent TO every church.
lodge or club? Couldn't stories be sent
regularly TO the local papers telling Of
the local unions plans for the vet
Grams? And couldn't each and every
one of you check with the families of
boys in the service whom you know
and let them know what waits for
them in the unions?
If Organized Labor Is smart, It's
going to make the veterans problems
its problems. After all ~ from what
group do they mostly come?
