tiOns Act, demands an immediate program that will embrace all branches of the Building and Con struction Trades with NO excep tiOns.
 This program must of necessity be strictly modern; 1t must be complete in every detail; it must have enthusi- astic support of all union men in the Building Industry. There can be no half way measures; there can be no delay in putting it into effect It will also have to be paid for, which means sacrifices for all, but any successful results will more than repay the in vestment both in maintaining of work ing conditions and in the absence of strife in the Industry.
 "This program must include plan for settling jurisdictiona1 disputes locally, which matter will be taken up later in this meeting A committee should be set up to sell the plan to the Contractors and furnish any necessary publicity to the press.
 "One other example for the neces- sity of a complete program comes from some of the contractors. l have been asked to assist in organizing under the AFL, plants that have never been in agreement before. Information has also been requested of me, of the steps necessary for some of our con tractors to branch into new fields of the construction business.
 ''In closing I would like to point out that there has been a lot of time and thought given by many to develop this plan and I cannot stress too strongly the seriousness of the situation that cOnfronts us today. As you have heard from the minutes of the Executive Boards Special Meeting of May 10th, they recommended the adoption of this plan, and for us to leave this hall without taking the proper, action will eventually mean strife, con- fusion and disaster to the Building Industry and to ourselves in parti- cu1ar

 6. While the drive is under way, it is planned to keep monthly dues and other current charges at a uni- form scale for all locals.
 7. The Conference unanimously voted that the organizing drive, if it is to succeed ''must be accompan- jed by whole-hearted and undivid- ed support of the objective of 'un- ionizing of building and construc- ton trades workers We must dis card imaginary craft interest in fa- vor of promoting the real interest of all building and construction workers generally
 In order to carry out the state- sVide campaign, the delegates unan- iniOusIy UOted tO recommend to each local that they raise speciaI campaign fund to finance the or ganizing activities of the Conn. Building and Construction Trades Council actiUities. Each local is asked to pay fifty cents per mem- Der to the State Council for one time only. This money can be raised by an assessment of the membership; by an appropriation from the locals treasury; or by q contribution by each member.
 8. The Conn. Building and Con- struction Trades Council will join with other state Councils in efforts to obtain lifting of war time re- stricti6ns on all private work. Work on this has already been begun by the State Council.
 9. In order to avoid disputes between the crafts, the Council will work for the revision and stream lining of book of jurisdictional awards. A concerted effort will be made to set up State Board which will have the power to interpret the book of jurisdictional awards.

 The full cooperation of the Con necticut Federation of Labor in tho coming drive of the Building Trades was pledged by Secretary, Treasurer Harold V. Feinmark who sent a letter to the meeting and by President Timothy M. Col lins, whose address to the confer ence is printed on Page l of thi. issue. Feinmark's letter to the Con ference said:
 T regret that illness prevents 1ne from attending your important Con- ference. I am well aware that the building and construction trades are confronted with number of prob lens. However, the building trades, with the firm foundation they have ir the organized labor movement, will solve these problems-of that I an certain. Let me assure you of the fullest cooperation of the Connecti- cut Federation of Labor in the plans you are making at Sundays Confer ence."
 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
 The need for the campaign to be undertaken by the Building Trades was developed in the keynote ad- dress of Secretary Treasurer James O'Kane, which fellows:
 ''It is an established fact that the forward progress of the Building Trades has been at a complete standstill for the duration of the war in spite of the fact that there has been plenty of work. With Government directives, limitation orders, agreements, etc., protecting us on one hand, and tying us down on the other, and Manpower Com. missions, USES. and others en. deavoring to form the policy of our Local Unions, the organization work has become practically dead
 ''The cOmplacency of the rank and file has grown to state of indifference and their dependence on government agencies instead oi Local Unions is alarming and q very definite threat to the founda. ton of UniOnism.
 ''This, plus the fact that we are now faced with the threat of dual organization and thousands of non. union mechanics waiting for, some. one to become their bargaining agent under the State Labor ReIa.
