 A native of New Haven, where he was born in 1894, Feinmark is a veteran of the first World War, where he was Sergeant First Class in the 814th Aero Squadron. Feinmark has been member of organized labor for 30 years, and for ten years was preSi- dent of Local AZ, International Typo graphical Union, New Haven, which now IS the second largest printers union in New England.
 He has been president of the New England Conference of Typo graphical Unions, and has been vice-president of the Connecticut Federation of Labor since 1937. He was elected president of the New Haven Central Labor Council in the same year, and has since

Feinmark Praised
 By Mayor Murphy

Mayor John W. Murphy of New Haven, a member of Cigar Makers Local 39, and former vice-president of the COnnecti- cut Federation of Labor, asked to comment on the election of Harold V. Feinmark, told the Union Times:
 ''It seems to me the election of Harold V. Feinmark to the office of Secretary-Treasurer of the Connecticut Federation of Labor is one that will meet with approval of members of organ ized labor and the public gener- ally.
 ''His lifelong membership in his craft union, his experience as president of the New Haven Central Labor Council and as a vice-president of the COnnecti- cut Federation of Labor stamps him as one who believes in and thoroughly understands tn e labor movement.
 Further, his many activities in behalf of movements for civic, state and nation improve ment are testimony of his broad outlook and high type of citi- zenship.
 ''I am sure that New Haven may be we'll pleased with the honor paid our community by his appointment"

In the past three years members of labor unions have bought be- tween 10 and l2 billion dollars of war bOnds-Or about One-third of all the war bonds sold by the treas ury, according to James L. Tough telling, the treasury department di- rector of labor relations.
 From regular, every-payday allot- ments through the payroll savings plan, the treasury has during that period received over $11,000,000,000 from wage earners and salary earners. and the same issuing agents have sold great volume of extra war bonds to the same purchasers during drives.
 The most successful and easily operated payroll savings plans are generally found in unionized plants. The reason for this is not difficult to understand if you con- slider the following facts.
 The organization of wage earners into unions is, like every other phase of successful American business, car ried on through good sound human relations. A certain number of men and women who have talent for super vising and directing the work of others are employed on a full time basis by the unions as Organizers" or business representatives
 Directly below them are the plant chairmen, who are company employees and top representatives of the union in plants. Below them again are the shop stewards, also plant workers but

A.F.L. To Resist EffortToEnforce
 Closed Shop Ban
Amendments Adopted In Florida And Arkansas Unconstitutional, Pad
 way Holds

If the states of Arkansas and Florida attempt to enforce the con. stitutiOnal amendments Outlawing the closed shop, which were ap. proved in referenda at the recent election, the American Federation of Labor will immediately chal- lenge the action in the courts.
 Joseph A. Padway, counsel for the Federation, declared this week that the amendments "are clearly uncon- stitutional," because, he contended, they abrogate the freedom of con tract guaranteed by the Federal Con- stitution."
 Padway disclosed that he had so advised the Executive Council of the Federation and that he had been instructed to institute legal proceedings the moment the rights of workers in Arkansas and Florida are imperiled.
 Padway took the position that the amendments also conflict with Federal war powers, such as those exercised ty the National War Labor Board.
 When such conflicts arise, he said the Federal law is controlling. He recalled that this principle was upheld by the Florida Supreme Court in a decision refusing the allow an injunc- ton against the closed shop agree ments entered into by Florida ship yards and A. F. of L. unions.
 In order to test the validity of the amendments adopted by Florida and Arkansas, Padway said, an attempt 11ust be made by state officials to en- force the ban.
 If and when that is done, the cases will be fought all the way to the Stu preme Court of the United States, il necessary, to outlaw the amendments Padway declared.
 Meanwhile, the National War Labor Board indicated it will ignore the inti-union amendments and will settle disputes involving union security in Florida and Arkansas on the same basis that it does in al other states.
 Even if employers try to use the new laws as an excuse for denying maintenance of union membership the Board asserted, it will refuse to heed such pleas.
 A similar amendment was defeated by California voters, as result of . vigorous campaign waged against i by organized labor. Enlightened busi- ness men, the Townsendites and { number of progressive groups also felped defeat the amendment, con tending that it would disrupt labor relations and interfere with war pro- duction in California.

agent, and the motion was also unani- rlously passed.
 Feinmark was then sworn into office by Egan. The executive board unanimously voted that letter be sent to Governor Bald win, commenting him upon his appointment of Egan as Labor Commissioner. The text of this letter is printed in another column.
 Interviewed by reporters shortly after his election, Feinmark declined to make any statement, saying that he desired to familiarize himself with his work before making any comment.
 'I appreciate this hOnOr," he said, "and knowing, as do, that I have the confidence and cooper atiOn of President Collins and the members of the executive board, 1 expect that the State Federation will continue the progress it has made under John Egan."
 One of his first undertakings, Fein- mark said, would be to visit all cen

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

SOME of those lame ducks would have come in handy for Thanksgiving dinner, what with the turkey shortage.
 BRIEN MIG MAHON, the new United States Senator from Con- necticut, has sent a letter to the New Haven Central Labor Council thanking it for the help organ ized labor gave him in the cleo ton. Similar letters were sent to other Councils. This is good sign. In the past, many politicians have forgotten about labor after the election returns were in.
 TWO MORE unions-the Paper Makers and the Painters-were added this week to the long list of labor organizations which are accepting World War II veterans without payment of initiation fees. Executive boards of each union voted to drop the fees for return ing servicemen.
 EMPLOYERS cannot hide be- hind the skirts of state anti-labor laws to weaken unions of their workers.
 The National War Labor Board reiterated that position this week when it ordered the Cudahy Brothers Company, meat packing firm of Cudahy, Wis.,, to sign a ''union security'' agreement with the Packing House Workers union. Under the order employees who voluntarily become members must, to hold their jobs, remain in good standing for the life of the agree ment.
 For months the Cudahy outfit had refused to comply with a re- gional VILE. order to the same effect, claiming that Wisconsin's so- called ''employment peace act'' barred "uniOn security contracts. "
 The alibi was rejected by the Board. The VILE. declared that, even if the state law prohibited such agreements, wartime powers of the Board are supreme and con- fiicting state laws must take a back seat.
 ssThe state laws cannot be ap- piled to impede the war effort" the Board asserted in a decision SUD- ported by public and labor mem bers. Industry members dissented.

Baldwin Thanked For Appointment
 Of John J. Egan
State Federation And New Haven Council Send Their
 Commentator

Governor Raymond E. Baldwin was commended this week by the Connecticut Federation of Labor and by the New Haven Central Labor Council for his appoint ment of John J. Egan as State Labor Commissioner.
 One of the first official acts of Harold V. Feinmark, upon assuming the office of Secretary Treasurer of tEe Federation, was to send the fol- lowing letter to the Governor: ''My dear Governor Baldwin:
 ''The Executive Board of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, in special meeting in Bridgeport, Sunday, November l9, unani- mOusly voted to express to you its appreciation of your appointment of the Federation's Secretary Treasurer, Brother John J. Egan, to the office of Labor COmmis- sioner of the State of Connecticut.
 ''We are pleased that you chose a member of organized labor for this important office, and are es- pecially happy that you selected Bro. Egan who, we know, will render valuable service to the people of Connecticut in his new position.
 ''May I also take this oppor- tunity to assure you that the Con- necticut Federation of LabOr's policy of complete cooperation with our State and Federal authOri- ties will be continued in every re- spect."
 Acting upon instructions of the New Haven Central Labor Council, Secretary Bernard J. Geelan sent the following letter to Gov. Baldwin:
 ''The New Haven Central Labor Council, at its regular meeting Thursday, November l6, unani- mously voted to instruct me to express to you the Councils thanks for your appointment of John J. Egan, Secretary-Treasurer, as Com. missioner of Labor for Connect. cut.
 We have always felt that mem Der of organized labor should hold this important office, and we are particularly pleased that you SC. lected one of the best qualified men in the state to fill it.''
 The following letter was sent tc Egan:
 "The New Haven Central Labor Council, at its meeting Thursday November 16, unanimously voted tc instruct me to express the Councils heartiest congratulations on your ap- pointment as Commissioner of Labor for Connecticut.
 ''We have always felt that a member of organized labor should hold this important post, and we are particularly pleased that Gov. ernOr Baldwin selected one of the best qualified men in the state to fill it.''

FancyRailWages FakelsExploded
Retirement Board Figures Average Compensation Of Employees In 1943
 Was $1,3 ,348

About once a year the Railroad Retirement Board puts out a re. port on the number of railroad employees and their compensation. These reports are not up to date. but they are close enough to be significant.
 The accuracy of the statistics cant be questioned because the figures are taken from the retirement and un- employment compensation accounts oi the workers, which reflect the exact number on the payroll and the amounts they were paid.
 On the other hand, the reports put out by the I. C. C. are based on ''counts'' which tend to give a distorted picture of the number of workers as well as their wages.
 The Retirement Boards report for 1o42 shows that total of 2,108, ,304 worked on the Class I carriers al some time during that year. Less thar half were in service the full F months, and over 30 per cent worked only four months or less.
 On compensation, the report re veals that 281, ,72O, or 10 per cent of the total, worked under one month and received less than $50 In the $50 to $299 group are IF per cent; $500 to $799, I3 per cent; $500 to $1 ,299, 10 per cent $l, 300 to $l,799, II pper cent; $1, BOO to $2,599, 20 per cent, and $2,6OO to $3,6OO or more, l6 per cent.
 The latter group includes the off cials as well as the workers and z further breakdown shows less than / per cent in the $3,600 classification.
 Those figures are a convincing answer to the ancient claim that railroad workers are extravagantly compensated.
 Striking an average of these fig ures, the report shows the compen- sation per employe was $1, ,348. For the R per cent in service 12 months ie was $2,310. The average dropped sharply to $1 ,620 for those in service II months and dwindled on down tc $40 for the big group that worked a month or less.

selected for the job by their fellow workers in the individual shops or factories.
 Two years ago the presidents of the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Or ganizations, the members of the Railway Labor Executives assn and many other presidents of na- tiOnal labor unions placed their en- tire staffs of organizers at the dis pOsal of Secretary MOrgenthau to promote the war bond program.
 Through these organizers an d through the labor section of the war finance division a majority of the plant chairmen and shop stewards of the country have been educated to un- dertake, among their members, the person-to-person solicitation which is the very backbone of the war bond p1 ogram.
 This is the basic reason why Secre- tary Morgenthau was able to an- nounce during the Fifth War Loan drive that "the great majority of plants having contracts with labor unions have met or exceeded their war bond quotas"
 "What sUas done in the Fifth War loan must be done in the sixth," concluded HOughteling. At a time sOhen victOry cGn be has tened by the united efforts of 0H Americans, sUe are confident that organised labor WilI duplicate Ov exceed its past records"

BOTH TAKE OFFICE

BOTH TAKE OFFICE
 Both Feinmark and Egan as- stunned their new offices Monday morning, Feinmark .journeying to Hartford to be present when Egan formally took over the Labor Com missiOner's office. Feinmark and John Caspic, Asbestos Workers, Meriden, a vice-president of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, represented the Federation. A huge basket of flowers, sent by the State Federation, was on Egan's desk.
 Considerable business was trans acted at the meeting of the execu- tive board which elected Feinmark. Timothy M. Collins, president of the Federation, was unanimously elected the FederatiOn's delegate to the 64th annual convention of the American Federation of Labor, be- ing held in New Orleans, and left Monday for that city.
 At the afternoon session of the executive board, Egan presented his
 
 after 20 years of service in that post Feinmark then said that although it was a matter of deep regret to the Federation that 1t was losing the services of Egan, organized labor was happy that he was going into wider field of activity.
 ''BrOther Egan's appointment, :" he said, ''is a genuine compliment to the American Federation of Labor as we'll as to himself. It shows again that organized labor, in training men for its own needs, also trains them for public service.
 ''John Egan has made a great contribution to the organized labor movement of Connecticut, and any contemporary history of our state must include chapter on John J. Egan and the Connecticut Federation of Labor.
 ''It is the hope of the entire organized labor movement that he will continue to act as Labor Com missioner for as many years as he was secreary-treasurer of the Fed eration."
 When the resignation had been formally accepted, President Collins presented the name of Harold V. Feinmark for the office of secretary treasurer. Clifton M. Scory, president of the Middletown Central Labor Union, moved that the recommends ton be accepted, and the motion was seconded. Under remarks, several vice-presidents stated that the recom- nendation was a good one, and the motion was unanimously passed.
