 Management

Contract negotiations between the CIO Mine, Mill & Smelter Workers union and management of the oak vile Co.,, division of the Scovill Mfg.

 Similar negotiations involving some dozen other factories ill Wa terbury and the Naugatuck Valley will be resumed next week after a one weeks lay-off because of the vacation period enjoyed by all em- ployes of local factories.
 The negotiations involve terms of the new 1945 contract which have been presented to these industries in blanket form. Wage increases, health and accident insurance guaranteed annual wage and sim- iiar terms are being sought. Tn some cases the union is now await ing counter-proposals from man. agement.
 MT. Driscoll disclosed also that the issue of over $1 million in re- troactive pay being sought by the CIO for employees of the American Brass Co.,, is still under review by the National Labor Relations Board in Washington. The management is contesting the unions claim.

New Enslond Apple Croop Smallest Yet

Boston, July 12-(UP)-This years New England apple crop will be the smallest on record, the New Eng land crop reporting service predict ed today.
 The July 1 forecast estimated the crop at 2,201, GOO bushels, only B per cent of last years crop. The previ- ous low was the 3,765, 900 bushels harvested in 1884. The 10-year av- craze is 6,079,000 bushels.
 The small crop was attributed to frost and freeze damage in April and cold rainy weather which kept bees in hives and resulted in poor pollination.
 Production outlook is better in Maine and Connecticut than in the other New England states. Maine's crop was forecast at 58 per cent, of average and Connecticut's at 50 per cent of average.
