WLB Considers Necessity 7 For New Wage Plan
Public Members Seen Pro. posing Little More Than
 Relief Crumbs

Members of the National War Labor Board finally ''gOt down to business" last week on the drafting of reconversion wage policy.
 So far, however, the public mem bers, who have the balance of power, indicated they are prepared to pro pose little more than "crumbs" in the way of concessions, and that a return to free collective bargaining on wages is still long way off.
 Proposals of the public members called for at least nominal reten- ton of the Little Steel'' wage cell ing, but for development at the same time of new formula to pro- tect workers against a sharp loss in earnings. This would consist of a correction of inequalities.
 Under that formula, workers whose hourly wages drop because of down. grading to lower-paid jobs, loss of incentive bonuses and other decreases due to reconversion will be permitted limited increases. Also, adjustments may be allowed in entire industries

Conn. Painters Join Fight For Paid Vacations
State Conference Elects OMcers-Pays Tribute
 To Alfred McKeon

The Connecticut State Conference of Painters, meeting at the New Ha- ven Labor Temple Sunday, went on record in support of the fight being waged by Local 186, New Haven Painters, for vacations with pay for building tradesmen; took appropriate action on the death of Alfred ]. Mo keon of Bridgeport, founder of the Conference; elected officers for the coming year; and heard reports on the condition of the trade i'll various parts of the state.
 The Conference unanimously voted to write President L. P. Lin. delOf protesting the decision of the Wage Adjustment Board in reject ing the paid vacation contract nego- tiated by No. l86 with the New Haven contractors.
 As tribute to Bro. McKeon, the Conference voted that Painters locals throughout the state would drape their charters in mourning for a De- riod of thirty days. In addition to adopting a resolution, introduced by Dennis P. Byrnes, Acting Secretary, extolling McKeon, the Conference voted to send check for $1O0 to Mrs. McKeon as a token of its es- teem.
 Officers elected for the coming year are as follows: President, Frank Fugazzi, Bridgeport; First Vice-President, Frank Gallagher, Stamford; Second Vice-President, M. Mclver, Hartford; Third Vice President, Hugh Coldie, Bridge port; Secretary-Treasurer, Dennis r. Byrnes, Bridgeport. The new off, ficers were installed by General Or ganizer Mike White.

National Hearing
 On Vacation Plan
Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One)
 port has decided to grant paid va cations not only to painters, but to all building trades mechanics en- plOyed in the maintenance depart ment of the Department of Public Works. In New Haven it was learned from Local 443, Teamsters Union, that all drivers for building trades contractors, as the result of a con- tract negotiated by No. 443, have received paid vacations for some time.
 The Wage Adjustment Board re- fused to approve No. 1868 contract with the employers on the ground that paid vacations in the building con struction industry are mot customary and are impracticable.' Organized labor claims that the Boards only jurisdiction IS as to wages and hours l; that paid vacations are an accepted policy of the War Labor Board; and that by denying approval of the con- tract, the Wage Adjustment Board illegally interfered with the collective bargaining process between the union and the employers.
 The New Haven Painters today re- ceived the following telegram from L. P. Lindelof, general president of the Brotherhood of Painters
 "In answer to your tlegram, gen. eral executive board went on record today as endorsing vacations with pay i'll the building trades industry, and will submit resolution to executive council of the Building and Construc- ton Trades Department at their meet ing in Chicago on Aug. 1. I have instructed General Organizer Michael DiSilvestro to attend hearing in Washington July 20. I have also con- tacted our office in Washington in an endeavor to have our representative from that office also in attendance"
 The New Haven Building Trades Council, acting through Secretary Vincent J. McCOvern, sent a letter to Herbert Rivers, secretary-treas- urer of the A.F.L.'s Building and Construction Trades Department, urging the Departments cOOpera- ton at the hearing, in order to Ob- tain favorable decision. Similar letters have gone to Rivers from a large number of unions in this state and nationally.

Because of its intrinsic interest, and because other organizations may adopt the same idea, which McCovern has been carrying out for some time. we quote the letter in full:
 Dear Sir and Members:
 Now that you lads have the war half over, l suppose it is alright for me to start writing to the members again. The right hand has completely healed.

Growing Tendency For Longer Terms

ST. LOUIS (LPA) = A union business agents job is not a happy one under the best of conditions, but war time stresses and strains have shown that he can do better if he has a longer term of office, preferably cOinciding with that of elected International officers. Tn Ss is the recOm- mendatiOn of editor Maury Rubin, writing in the St. Louis Labor Tribune.
 GROWING TENDENCY
 ''There is growing tendency" says Rubin, Gin local labor circles and throughout the nation to in- crease the terms of business agents and other union administrative key officials so that they coincide with the terms of their elected Interna- tional Union officers. In. other words, if the International officers are elected for four years, elect the local key officers for four years. There is good sense for this adaptation to modern conditions. for instance, the job of business agent nowadays IS highly complicated. An efficient union representative has to have sufficient time to get acquainted with employers with whom he deals and win their confidence; acquire a working knowledge of the many new city, state and federal laws which af- feet his membership.
 "If he has to run for office every year or two, he has to spend much of his time electioneering and if a good man is defeated, the union, which has an investment in him, has wasted valuable time and money while it goes about the same old gamble of re-educating his successor.
 ''The short tenure makes it hard for a good business representative to give the best that is in him to his union and at the same time make long range plans for the fu- ture best interests of his Organiza. tiOn."

where wage rates have Jagged the most behind living costs.
 LABORITES DISSATISFIED


 Area bracket" ceilings, under which wages have been frozen on a local basis, may also be revised to allow raises up to standard levels prevail ing in an industry. Various other in direct adjustments would be sane toned to forestall drastic declines in income.
 LabOrites on the board are by no means satisfied with these meager concessions. They are fighting for drastic upward modification of the Little Steel'' formula so hour ly rates can catch up with living costs; also for policy that will maintain total weekly take-hOme earnings when hours fall from 48 to 40 weekly, and finally for a re- taxation of controls so that unions and employers may negotiate wage increases without hindrance so long as prices are not affected.
 In any event, whatever recommen- dations emerge from the VILE. will have to clear the office of economic stabilization and the White House before being finally promulgated in new executive order That may still take many weeks.
