Benard, Cleary And Peggy MurphySp

"UniOns have recognized their responsibilities toward the community as a whole, and have accepted that re- spOnsibility by working for better housing, better health and better educatiOn," Peter Benard, President of the Bridgeport Central Labor Union, and a vice-president of the Conn. Federation of Labor, told members of the Girls Industrial Division of the Y.W.C.A., in a dinner meeting and panel discussion on ''Working Together For a Postwar World" observing Union Day of the National In- dustrial Council of the Y.W.C.A., held Tuesday in the Y.W.C.A. Hall.
 Approximately three million union members today are women and many of them hold union of hces," he said.
 Tt has frequently been hard for these women to attain posi- tions of leadership, and the labor movement has been led mostly by men, but there is great op- portunity now for real partner ship between men and women i'll unions" he stated.
 A.F.L. Representatives
 Representing local C. 10. unions on the panel, which discussed the Fair Employment Practices Act, job swapping programs, and the place of women in industry, were Frank Giar- eli, United Electrical Radio and Machine Workers, Jacob Porter, C. I. O. Council, and, Mitchell Swirl doff, Auto Workers.
 Joseph Cleary, International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Miss Peggy Murphy of the International Office Workers Union, and Sam Janis of the International Ladies' Garment Workers Union of the A. F. of L., discussed health and well fare services for workers, white collar workers unions, and the State Labor Relations Act.
 aN. D-1- tions Act, Cleary said, 'sThis legis- IatiOn is a Magma Carta for all peo- pie working in intra-state conn merce." He showed that the Act ex- tended coverage to all workers en- gagged in industries which operated entirely within state lines.
 War conditions have shown that racial religious, and color groups can work together harmoniously," said Jacob Porter who urged all Negro workers to ally themselves with recognized organized labor groups.
 White Collar Workers
 In describing union organiza- ton of white collar workers, Miss Murphy pointed out that the greater educational qualifications of this group of workers was not always recognized in setting wage scales. White collar workers, she said, have had for long time the sick leave and vacation benefits which have now been extended to all workers. But they have not been granted advances in wages such as have been given to other work

About 300 collections have been made in the past week on the 1,500 final demands for payment of de- hnquent taxes forwarded to Water bury residents.

 In addition to tax payments the delinquents were required to pay an additional minimum $5 fine as re- quired by state law for serving of the warrant In some cases the fine was greater because of the need for the sheriff to spend more time in seeking out the delinquent.
