4O say tullS Woo q O1S SNCAt would be putting it mildly. George Lipkie and "Cristie" of the Pipefit- ters had an array of cold cuts and salads that would make Swedish Smorgsbord look green with envy. The electricians had good old Chet Wlodourski pushing out the beer mugs for the very thirsty throng.
 The joint-unions had extended invitations to the Metal Trades, the Central Labor Union, and the Su- pervisory Staff of the Electric Boat. A little over 300 members and guests thronged the hall for the brief meeting that was held before the gong rang for refreshments and entertainment. Al Farina, president of L-B261 acted as joint chairman and master of ceremonies. He shared his honors with Alfred liar vey, good-natured, but determined president of the Pipefitters L-620.
 Speakers of the evening were Bernard Ezhaya, business agent; Buster Rice, president of the Gen. tral Labor Union; Jack White, sec retary of L-305 Pipefitters Bldg. Local; Tom Shane, Jim Santangelo, Teamsters Local; Rowland Bishop, Boilermakers L-614, and Mike Me- Garry, president of International Office Workers Union L-106.
 Brother Ezhaya gave spirited and forcefui talk on organizational activities and drove points home that we must remember for the coming election and spoke proudly of the American Labor Movement as whole.
 Buster Rice mentioned the fact that the Central Labor Union had the previous day presented an Iron Lung to the Groton State Police Barracks, which would be available to all residents of this area. He warmly complimented the Electric Boat Unions on their organizations and pointed with pride to the re- cent developments and strides ahead that the AFofL had made in recent months towards making New London County a union con- scious district.
 Rowland Bishop, Boilermaker L. 614, spoke briefly on New Lon- don, the Vacation Land of New England" He said that it had been up to now just that, four months of work eight months of "vaca- tion without pay" He pointed out the undemocratic and destructive qualities of city manager type of local government which could pre- vent new industries from flourish

The state police of the Groton barracks came into possession of a $1,097 portable iron lung Friday, May II, a gift from the Central La bor Union of this city.
 The presentation was made at 2:3O o'clock at the barracks by Ed ward Rice of Montville, union pres ident and a state representative from that town. It was accepted in behalf of the state police depart ment by Lieut.. William E. Macken- zie, commanding officer of the barracks.
 Purchased with funds supplied by labor organizations affiliated with the CLU, the lung weighs less than 100 pounds and may be used in emergency cases, such as drown ings, suffocations, electrocutions and any other emergency dealing with the respiratory tract. In hos pitals the lung is used for heart trouble, pneumonia, post operative failures, etc, as well as infantile paralysis. It is equipped with an oxygen attachment.
 It is an aluminium type apparatus weighing much less than the old style barrel lung. It comes in three chest sizes, the small size to accom- modate a person up to 55 pounds,

 AFL President William Green said that MT. Watt will present to the United States delegation at the San Francisco Conference number of recommendations with regard of world peace which have been of- ficial1y approved at AFL conven- tions.
 A committee of the Executive Council, he said, will take to San Francisco such additional and sup elementary recommendations as may be formulated at the council meeting.
 "The American Federation of La bor stands unanimously for the for nation of an international security organization to establish and en- force world peace," MT. Green de- clared. Our representatives are in- structed to do everything in their power to achieve that all-important goal"
 At the recent Inter-American Conference in Mexico City, AFL Secretary-Treasurer George Meany served as adviser" to the U. S. delegation. He reported that the la Dor advisers were permitted and en- couraged to participate in the dis cussions and to help formulate the proposals submitted by the U. S. delegation to the conference. This procedure, which was highly praised by MT. Meany, is not being followed at San Francisco.

He said that "there'l be some changes made" when the AFofL by winning the election on June 9th at the Electric Boat snows under the last great barrier to a United Labor Stand in New London County.

the middle size up to 1855 pound persons and the large size for per- sons up to 300 pounds. The middle size also is used for the new born baby.
 The lung may be operated e.ec- trically or by hand to administer artificial respiration. It can readily be transported by automobile or ambulance and can be run by direct as we'll as alternating current. Thus it is possible to connect it with 2 battery of car where no electrical wiring is available.
 Lieutenant Mackenzie expressed the appreciation of both himself and State Police Commissioner Edward J. Hickey for the gift.
 "The Central Labor Union cannot be complimented too highly for it's action" he said. ''The Lung will prove a valuable addition to our already large scale emergency equipment. I am confident the pub- lie shares my thoughts" he added.
 The lung will be used whenever or wherever it is needed in this area. Representative of the Wash- ington concern will start instruct. ing the State policement in its oper" atiOn immediately.

Labor COnsultants Denied Active Role As San Francisco Conference Opens

Labor was only meagerly repre- sented-and in an obscure capacity when the United Nations Con- ference on the establishment of world security organization opened in San Francisco.
 The American Federation of La bor was denied the opportunity to have it's representatives serve the United States delegation in an ad- visory capacity.
 The Executive Council of the Am erican Federation of Labor, which had sought to transfer its Spring meeting from Wa in g ton so that the highest ranking officers of the Federation could be on hand to protect labor's interests, was de- nied immediate transportation to the city by the State Department, which controlled travel to the site of the conference.
 Reduced to the capacity of "con- sultants" can be consulted or not, depending upon the whim of the U. s. delegates-labor repre- sentatives, along with those of busi- ness, agriculture, fraternal societies and educational organizations, were left on the fringe of the big doings.
 By appointment of AFL President William Green, Robert J. Watt flew there to serve as the AFL "consul- tant" He will be assisted by Robert Byron, president of the Sheet Metal Workers International Association; c. J. Haggerty, presi- dent of the California State Fedora ton of Labor, and Daniel Flanagan, Acting AFL Regional Director o1 Organization in that area

To All Civilian Workers:
 General Eisenhower has an- nounced the cessation of organized resistance in Europe A thrilled and grateful nation is justifiably proud of all who made this ac- complishment possible.
 But this is total war - a global war. We are but halfway to com plete victory. There remains to be conquered the entire Japanese na- tion. Men are still fighting, and still dying, and will continue to fight and die in the hard push to Tokyo.
 The casualty lists tell the story, tragic yet glorious, of the fighting mans will to win unconditional victory, no matter what the cost. We have a solemn compact with these men. The road that lies ahead demands from each of us a matching determination and unity of effort that will shorten the time during which such sacrifices must continue.
 Today every worker should re- dedicate himself and herself to the task of providing these men with the weapons and equipment they need to smash the remaining ene- my. To delay now in celebration of past success would be fatal to carefully laid plans. We cannot and must not-pause in discharge of our duty so long as a Jap re- mains a threat to the life of a single soldier or sailor.
 Let each of us get on with our job,
