 TIME lost due to strikes in 1944 was reduced one-third from strike losses in 1943, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announces.
 The Bureau calculated that idle ness resulting from last years work stoppages amounted to only one-tenth of one per cent of time worked.
 In December, the Bureau re- ported, there were only 28O small strikes of short duration, involving about 85, ,OOO workers. The time lost during the month represented one-twentieth of one per cent of working time.

''Thank you for your telegram. The National Service Bill presents a great many problems to us. I am being frank with you, as I feel that the New Haven Central Labor Council has been one of my best friends. We have had many very serious discussions concerning this bill and at present my attitude toward it depends quite definitely on the amendments which will be introduced today and tomorrow. As l am sure you know, I regret anything in the way of compul- sion; but I think we have to look at the fundamental fact that war of the type we are in today is total ly repugnant to democratic civil ization, and that sometimes much against our will we are obliged to adopt compulsion as we did in Selective Service.

CAN DO IT AGAIN!
 ''Senate Bill No. l is the bill the entire labor movement of this state favors, and it is our job to show the Joint Labor Committee that that's the Bill that should be passed" Feinmark said. ''We've shown hem twice, and we can do it once more."
 The bills to be heard Tuesday are House Bills No. 1927, introduced by Rep. Herbert Wanderer, Republican leader in the House of Representa- tives; House Bill No. 1928, intro duced by Rep. Peter McManus, chairman of the House Labor Com mittee; House Bill No. 1929, intro duced by Rep. Smith; and House Bill No. 1O30, introduced by Rep. Thomas E. Marston, of Cornwall.

 1t is understood that the hearing next Tuesday will nos be limited to House Bills 1927, 1928, 1929, and 1O3O, but that proponents and opponents will be permitted to speak on any of the eight State Labor Relations Bills now before the Legislature.

order to efficiently and speedily utilize manpower which is avail able in a great many centers.
 Undoubtedly, this week will definitely decide the situation one way or the other and tho I feel that adequate and full use of available manpOwer is not being made, 1 feel the passage of the May Bill will be telling blow to the morale of our enemies and greatly strengthen that of our fighting forces.
 At meeting the other day, I advo- cated that a petition be signed by the members of the House and sent to the President, requesting a call for such conference as I have outlined above, but apparently it fell on deaf ears and those who favored the idea seemed to think that there was not sufficient time to do this.
 Il assure you that I am giving the matter deep and thoughtful consider Ration."
