structiOn trades workers. and we must discard imaginary craft in- terest in favor of promoting the real interest of all building and construction trades workers gen. orally, therefore,:
 l. In organizing small house and residential operations, and in main talning work, too, a uniform initiation ice must be agreed upon to attract members. The fee should not be in exeess of $500
 /. Monthly dues and other current charges should be the same for all during the initial period that the organizing drive is under way. If re- suits are obtained tbat show promise of success, then, as in the case of our older established unions, higher fees and dues can be secured to counter balance the improved wage and work ing conditions gained as a result of unionization.
 5. Where active State Councils exis;, Organizers should be as- signed Nb head up the State activi- ties. Where no active State Council exists, representative regional cOm- mittees should be formed in desig- mated areas. These committees to function under direction of State Organizer. Meetings should be held of all regional committees or State Council committees at least month ly to report progress or lack of progress and to stimulate activity.
 4. This proposed campaign should be financed by such ways and means deented most proper by the Building Trades through the medium of the International Unions.
 CONN. ADDITIONS
 Additions to the above plan recom- mended to the Conference by the executive board of the Conn. State Building and Construction Trades Council, recommend that:
 l. Lifting of War time restric- tiOns on all private work.
 2. Revise and streamIine a book of jurisdictional awards to avoid disputes between the crafts.
 3. Set up a State Board for interpretation of said book.
 4. Promote united drive on State basis to have incorporated in all agreements the Vacation with Pay Clause.

State Building Trades Special Conference
(Continued from Page One)

(Continued from Page One) building and construction tradesmen employed in factory, mill, mine, store and housing field, and to meet the demand for skilled workers and labor CTS that will ensue in the postwar period, we present the following plan of procedure which we feel, if adopted, will arouse our local unions and local and state Building Trades Councils to splendid effort of achieving com plete organization of building and construction trades workers wherever employed.
 Strengthen Existing Local Councils
 (A) l. By creating lOOG6 utilization of Local Unions of Inter- national Unions affiliated to the Department. All Internationals to notify their local unions to inme- diately affiliate to the Council hav- ing territorial jurisdiction of city wherein the local unions have their established office. International Organizers to assist in forming a Council where none exist.
 ?. A true and honest declaration of membership and payment of dues, fees,, or per capita charges thereon by. the Local Unions or District Councils.
 3. Adopting n Blanket Agree ment to be issued by Local Councils and signed by Council Officers, which will establish complete un- ionization of each and every pro- ject and prevent raids by dual or ganizations or enemy groups.
 Blanket coverage is definitely neces- sary if the force and power of the combined building and construction trades unions is to continue effectively.
 The present practice of each craft or calling signing individual agree ments covering their respective groups is not interfered with the blanket agreement arrangement The Local Union agreement is, in fact, strengthened by having it attached to the blanket agreement
 The blanket coverage has one outstanding purpose and that is, to establish without question of doubt definite obligation to employ none but American Federation of Labor members on all operations either as direct employer or through contractors or sub-cOn- tractors.
 Organize or Reorganize Regions
 or Territory now uncovered by
 (B) State or Local Councils.
 l. Formation of State Councils where none now exist.
 2. 1OO%o utilization of all LO- cal Unions and Local Councils to the State Council.
 3. Extension or contraction of Local Council Territorial jurisdic- ton to cover all territory within each state not now covered by an active Council.
The union times., 1945-06-02
ORGANIZE THE UNORCANIZEn

C-L. Small HonSe or Residential C Construction.
 Establish wage rates and conditions in keeping with this type of work. Philadelphia plan is worthwhile study ing and adopting.
 Z. Maintenance Employees:
 2C-1. Employed direct by own.
 2:C-2. Wage scales to be on the basis of-cents per hour less than the going building trades rate, or on the basis less than the going wage.
 2C-3. Charter maintenance workers unions where number of workers are large or absorb men in existing unions, designating maintenance worker rating on un- ion working card or due book.
 D.-Heavy ConStrnction-High7Vay -Marine Operations.
 l. Wage scales are governed in most cases by Federal or State legislation. The problem to over come IS Inslstence Of Local Unions that building operation conditions shall prevail. To organize this class of work, it is vital that working conditions applying to this type of work.
 OBSTACLES AND IMPEDIMENTS
 (E) To secure united action in intelligently carrying out long range program of organization cov- ering the wide field proposed, we must overcome the artificial divi- sion that narrows the vision of our building trades unions. The mOve- ment, if it is to succeed, must be accomplished by wholehearted and undivided support of the objective 'unionization of building and con-

Believed Stories Of Enormous Rates

NEW YORK CITY. The propaganda about high war time wages, which many mem bers of the armed forces swal, lowed whole, is now turning into ashes i'm the mouths of veterans seeking civilian jobs after being discharged from the Army and Navy.
 A large number of these vet erans in this area are unemployed because they are unwilling to ac- cept jobs offered to them through the U. s. Employment Service at pay which is sometimes less than they received in the service.
 MANY DISSATISFIED
 Frank Newcomer, veterans rep. resentative of the U. s. Employ. ment Service, said there was a pressing demand for discharged men in industries throughout the state, but that many of the men were dissatisfied with the jobs of. fered and had refused to take them.
 Veterans coming back today" MT. Newcomer declared, "have fantastic idea of what jobs are paying. Then, also, they want to have better jobs than the ones they held before en- tering the services. And finally, they don't want to go away from home for jobs"
 The net result, he said, was a large number of veterans shopping around for jobs and meanwhile deriving bene- fits such as unemployment payments.
 On the salary issue, it was held that veterans were hearing greatly exaggerated stories regarding pres- ent pay by industry. Another fac tor, cited by many men, was that because of their technical jobs in the Army, they had earned more in the service than they could get in private industry. This situation, Mir. Newcomer said, required a cer- tain readjustmcnt period.
