Decision By Court Adds Strength To Law
Circuit Court Of Appeals Rules Worker Is Entitled To Collect Back Wages If He Is Illegally Discharged
 First Civil Action Taken

Powers of the administrator of the Federal Wage-HOur Law were stiffened in a sweeping decision of the U. s. Circuit Court of Ap- peals this week, according him the right to collect back wages in fed eral court for an illegally dis charged employe.
 Regional Director Arthur J. White of the wage-hour division called the decision "a complete victory, not only for the Department of Labor, but for every working man or woman en- titled to the overtime provisions of the federal wage-hour law"
 The employe involved in the case was Jacob Chauser, an eleva- tor operator at a loft building in New York City. The action, originally prosecuted in federal district court by Labor Department Attorney Irving Rozen, alleged that Chauser was fired because he filed suit in city court for overtime pay due him under the wage-hOur law.
 Rozen's suit was the first civil ac- tion taken by the wage-hour division anywhere in the country under the section of the act which specifically prohibits an employer from discharg- ing or discriminating against an em- ploye who ''has instituted any pro- ceeding under or related to this act" or has testified or is about to testify in any such proceeding"
 The district court decision ordered Chauser reinstated but said the court could not order payment of back wages in that specific action. The higher court unanimously reversed that finding in a decision which said in part:
 ''There can be no doubt that the right of the administrator. to en- force payment of wages lost by the discharge would promote the pur- poses of the act for, with the as- surance of such aid, the employe would feel more free than other wise to sue his employer under section 16 (b).

Norwalk CLU Hears
 Explanation Of Law

In pressing for the enact ment of a State Labor Rela' tions Act, organized labor is asking for no more than the same protection that industry and agriculture enjoy at pre- sent, declared Harold V. Fein' mark, secretary-treasurer O1 the Connecticut Federation O1 Labor, in addressing a meet ing of the NOrwalk Central Labor Union at Matters Hall Thursday night, at which he installed newly elected officers of the A. F. of l.. central body.
 ''FENCED IN TOO LONG"
 s'Business and farmers" said the labor speaker, ''join their associa. tiOns without fear of reprisals. For that matter, labor i'm interstate commerce may organize freely un der the provisions of the National Labor Relations Act. Why should not employees of firms whose busi. ness is carried on wholly within the state be protected from the co. erciOn. intimidation and discrimi. nation of unfair employers?
 "They have been fenced in toe long. A sound, workable Labor Re lations Act as recommended by Gov ernor Baldwin would be their magma charta. It would make them free men and women in the true sense of the word. Certainly worker who knows he is liable to be discharged for join ing a union is not free.
 "The Connecticut Federation of Labor strongly advocates the passage of what has come to be known as a baby Wagner Act because it would encourage collective bargaining, elim- mate industrial strife and unrest, pro- mote harmonious industrial relations and advance the public welfare"
 Mir. Feinmark said he had moi heard one good reason advanced against the proposed bill. Cone edi- torial writer," he continued, ''raised a possible objection in that he thought the law would result in closed shop agreements. To him apparently the closed shop is a bugaboO. Regardless of the fact that there are many employers who would not operate other than with closed shop, the bill in no man. ner provides that only closed shop agreements may be reached be- tween parties who engage in col lective bargaining. While some contracts consummated may in. clude closed shop section because the employer prefers it, others may not. It is an objection that has no substance.
 ssInasmuch as both Republican and Democratic leaders in this state are on record in favor of a State Labor Relations Act, we are hopeful that it will be enacted this year," Mfr. Feinmark added.
 He also outlined the full legislative program of the labor federation and explained the purposes of the various bills sponsored by the A. F. of L., which in addition to the "baby Wag- ner Act are:
