Building Trades Receive Buttons
 For State Drive
Connecticut Council Urges All Locals To Order
 Wage Rates Needed

The campaign buttons which are an integral part of the organizing drive planned by the Connecticut State Building and Construction Trades Council have arrived and are ready for distribution, it was announced this week by ecretary-Treasurer James O'Kane The buttons are soc each, and number of unions have taken them for their entire membership.
 In his notice to the building trades locals, O'Kane says:
 s'Please order the number re- quired for your organization. Let everyone get behind this drive and bring it to an early and successful conclusion. Every building trades mechanic should wear one of these buttons on the job, showing that he has done his part in supporting the Connecticut State Building X Construction Trades Council in their fight for freedom from gov ernment restrictions, and for the protection of their jurisdictional rights and prevailing wage rates."
 STATE WAGE RATES
 A full statement on the recent con- ference held by President Michael J. Barry and Secretary Treasurer O'Kane with state officials on the matter of wage rates on state con struction is contained in the statement sent to the locals. It reads:
 President Barry reported on the joint meeting held at the State Office Building, Hartford, Connecticut, be- tween the Highway Commission, State Wage Board, Road and Bridge Contractors, with O'Kane and Barry representing the Council. This meet ing was called due to the promptness of our Executive Board in sending a protest to the various State Depart ments for the protection of our rights as the State Highway Department had let one job out on State Wage Board Rates which were way out of line with present rates. This pre- sented the opportunity for free dis cussion for the correction of State Wage Boards rates.
 ''The contractors present were in agreement with labor that the pres ent wage schedule of the State Wage Board for highways and bridges was years behind the times. It was brought out that there were no corrections made in this sched. ule for most crafts since long be. fore the war. The result being that seven more projects that were to have been let were held up for more than a week to straighten out this situation.
 ''In summing up President Bar ry once more called on all affiliated Local Unions to get their approved and recognized rates to the Secre. tary of the Council at once. This same condition may happen where any large project is under con sideration. Therefore it is neces sary that correct rates be on file al all times and all changes or in creases be sent in prior to theil effective dates."

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

Are anti-uniOn manufacturers ganging up against labor and melt ing strikes, knowing they can charge up the cost to Uncle Sam and so have nothing to lose?
 An A. F. of L. official contendet this week that the answer is ''yes.' He preferred to remain anonymous for the present, and here's his ap. praisal:
 ''Many of the manufacturers this year are in the excess-profits brack. cts, with Uncle Sam skimming O; 85 or 90 per cent of their earnings for the rest of the year.
 ''In view of that, they feel they can afford showdown battle with labor. A long strike of their wor CTS costs them practically nothir since it simply cuts down excess profits that would go mainly to tht government anyway. Thus, they can be tough and hold out for |: long time.
 UNCLE SAM PAYS BILL
 ''On top of that, they can al resort to full-page ads in tho newspapers which propagandize their side alone in strikes-and charge off the expense on their la. bills.
 ''Thus, ironically, Uncle Sam un willingly is financing the expense of their war against labor.
 ''It will be different next year when the excess-profits tax i slashed sharply, Then strikes vii really hit their pocket nerve. A that time employers may hesitat, about inviting prolonged show downs with labor. Meanwhile, they ] (Continued on Page Fourl

Sets $2l Wage Rate
 For Retail Workers

NEW YORK.-A weekly mini mum wage of $21 week for em- ployes in retail trades has been es- tablished by Edward Corsi, state in dustrial commissioner. He said ii means a pay boost of $6,000,0O0 a year for 10000 workers.
 The $21 rate is for a 40-hour week Time and one-half must be paid for overtime, and tips" cannot be counted as wages. When uniforms are re- quired, the employers must furnish them
 Corsi said the order is part of a program designed to raise wages ot more than million of the states low paid workers. Even the higher rate will not provide a decent living, he declared, recalling that studies made year ago revealed that $31.61 a week is rock bottom to enable women in the state to maintain themselves on reasonable standards.
