 Unions Win Health Insurance
 It has been little publicized, but one of the great accomplishments of unions in the past few years has been the winning of health insurance" for their members through collective bargaining.
 How spectacular progress in that field has been was revealed in a report published this week by the Department of Labor. Union agree ments filed with the department show 6OO,OOO workers are covered by health-benefit plans, but that figure, the report explained, is by no means complete.
 Most of the agreements provide for employer financing of the cost, though in some, employees contrib ute part through payroll deduc- tionS. The funds are used to pay from 50 to 50 per cent of regular earnings during sickness and dis ability, as well as partial hospital and medical expenses.
 Unions were able to make these advances in the "health insurance" field because such gains did not conflict with wartime wage stabili- zation regulations. In many in- stances, the insurance plans were negotiated in lieu of wage increaS- es which were otherwise forbidden, the department pointed out.

Unemployed Being Pressed To Take LOwer-Pdid Jobs

Washington, D. C.-As reconver- sion unemployment grew progress sively worse, pressure developed in many parts of the country to force disemployed workers to accept any kind of jobs that turn up, even at much lower rates of pay than they formerly earned.
 Reports from several states indi- cated that unemployment compen- sation agencies, backed by antilabor employers, were refusing to con- slider applications for relief as long as any open jobs are listed by the employment services.
 This was considered by labor leaders as an underhanded attempt to break down organized labor'S standards and as further proof of the need for federalizing the un- employment compensation system, as provided for in the Wagner Murray-Dingell bill.
 Estimates of the total number of workers who have lost their jobs since the sudden wave of cancella- tion of war contracts were still

Individually, his house mod els are so different that a tourist might drive past 100 of them in a row and never guess that they were drawn by the same archi. tect.

They have everything from bathtub to gar- bage grinder, economy and con. venience; poor mans palaces amortized to $1 day. But the inventor sold to the U. s. Steel Corp.-Why?
 He lacked capital and, under today's tax laws, never could make much profit. The giant cor poration can run the project in the red and deduct early losses from war profits.

based on fragmentary information, but the War sManpower Commission announced it will soon establish weekly surveys compiled from tele- graphic reports from it's agencies in all of the nations industrial areas.
 However, abundant proof was available that war workers are loS- ing their jobs at a much faster rate than they can be reabsorbed in oth- CT industries, chiefly in the service trades, which until now have been suffering from manpower shortages.

Hints to Shoppers

Our boys will soon be coming home. You know how eagerly you await HIM. We all have that same feeling. AND THIS FEELING GOES DOUBLE! While you are saying Wonder if he has changed much-I know he weighs twenty pounds more and I'm sure none of the clothes he left behind will fit him." you know what he is think ing?
 Gee, wonder If she's changed much? She was always awful pretty, and I suppose she still is"
 Your best bet is to go to one of the best photographers who are about town and have a brand new pic taken JUST FOR HIM! Look ing through The SUB you will be able to decide just where you want that picture taken. Do you want to send him a portrait to keep his last months in the service shorter and happier, or is he the, kind of guy who likes to carry a small, breathless likeness of you around with him In his wallet?
 You've already made up your mind probably to go on shop ping toot" to get him that new suit. but while you are making those plans remember he'll need new dungarees and work clothes for his OLD JOB, or NEW JOB! Those old work clothes won't fit him either. Even if he is going to fool around the place for awhile and tinker with the car to get it back on the road, he'll still need those dungarees and work shirts. THE SUB CARRIES ONLY ADS OF THE MOST RELIABLE SHOPS IN NEW LONDON, NORWICH and the MYSTIC AND NEW LONDON COUNTY AREA. YOU WON'T GO WRONG ON PRICES OR GOODS WHEN. YOU TRADE WITH MERCHANTS WHO AP- PEAR IN YOUR UNION PAPER!

SAYING what a man earns, ex- pressing 1t in cents per hour or dollars per year, tells but little about the measure of prosperity he enjoys. Good living depends on many things that change from time to time and differ from place to place. Prosperity depends, in very large part, on what people must pay for the things they need and want.
 Ben Franklin's discovery Of electricity became a great dis coyery when electric lights began costing less than oil lamps. The automobile became a great inven- tion when cars were priced down where only rich people could af- ford to own horses. Putting con- veniences and luxuries in reach of a large number of people helps to build nations prosperity. Pay for PLAIN people pay Service richly for favors; plain
 people are so many. Names like Edison, Mccormick and Ford stand for huge estates because these men did a real serv- ice for a lot of plain people. Actu. ally, the thing that inspires me- chanical inventors to invent, is the chance to earn from a free people their reward for valuable service.
 Edison, Mccormick and Ford didn't need to hawk their ideas, neither did Bissell, Denton, Park CT and O'Sullivan, but Foster Gunnison had to sell his. Gunni- sons inventions came later. Do
