35O,OOOWorkers In War Plants
 Needed, McNutt
Must Come From Those Now In Less Essential
 Industries

WASHINGTON = WING Chair man Paul V. McNutt said this week a net increase of 350,OOO workers in the war plant working force is needed to meet production schedules between now and Aug. IS.
 Although December employment levels were maintained during January and February in muni- tiOns plants, representing a posi- tive betterment in the employment situation," he said, an ''extra push'' is needed to get more work, CTS into jobs in war production plants.
 McNutt said total military and civilian labor requirements for the coming six months will be 11a million, with 9O0,O00 marked for the armed forces. "Of the total, 1,15O,OOO are available" he said, but the remaining 35OOOO must come from among work CTS now employed in less essential in dustry."
 More women must be encour- aged to take war jobs, the WING head said, and more extensive use will be made of war prisoners and foreign workers.

Senate Ready To Pass State Labor
 Relations Act For 25O,OOO Workers

Having passed the House of Rep- resentatives of the Conn. Legisla- ture last week, and with favorable action scheduled by the Senate this week, the prospects on Tuesday, as this was being written, that the State Labor Relations Act will be- come law within the next few days, are exceedingly good. It is expected that Gov. Raymond E.. Baldwin, strong prOponent of the Act, will sign the bill soon after he receives it from the Senate.
 The act becomes effective upon its passage, but will not be put into force until Gov. Baldwin has appointed the three-man board which will become the State Labor Relations Board. Both the Senate and House must confirm these ap- pointments. Under the Act, they must be appointed by the Governor on or before June l.
 k The act further provides that before July l, the Board shall appoint an agent, whose duty it will be to investi- gate all complaints. If he finds the complaints justified, the offending par ties will be called before the Board for hearing. If the complaints are not justified, the agent must report his reasons to the Board in writing, giving his reasons and recommenda- tions. The agent will be appointed for a term of four years at an annual sal ary of $5,000.
 Last week The Union Times pub- lished the first installment of the full text of the State Labor Rela- tiOns Act. Included were a list of definitions, the makeup of the Board, the duties of the agent, and five of the ten unfair labor prac- tices which apply to employers. Published herewith is continuing instailment of the Act:

Green Supports
 Miners Demands

WASHINGTON - A statement supporting the "justifable fight" the mine workers of the nation are "mak- ing to secure decent wages and hu- mane conditions of employment" has been issued by AFL President Will liam Green.
 Tt is my opinion that the coal operators should have promptly grant ed practically all of the demands which the miners made at the Wash ington conference" Green said.
 Stating the AFL stands with the mine workers in support of their fight, he said: "The coal operators of the country and representatives of government would render a distinct and valuable service to the nation if they would measure up to the economic and social requirements of our country by seeing to it that prac- tically all the demands of the mine workers are granted"

Teamsters To Up
 Voting Strength

MEMPHIS.' Tenn. - Delegates at the fourth session of the Southern Conference of Teamsters called for a campaign program throughout the AFL to make every member possible qualify himself as an eligible voter. The conference also proposed that state laws be enacted to permit perm anent registration of voters.
 This program is necessary" Chair man Frank Prohl said, because since the beginning of the war there have been many laws proposed, especially in southern states. which purport to be for the right to work, or to pro- tect war veterans, but would actually legislate unions out of business. To meet this threat, we have to increase our voting strength"
 Another resolution adopted urged the government to enforce safety regulations of the highways.

AFL Signs Pact For Postwar Prosperity
Painters, 186, Win |P aid Vacations s
Contractors In Greater New Haven Area Unanimously Agree To New Contract, Which Is Now Before
 Wage Adjustment Board For Approval

Painters Union, No. l86, this week announced that the cOntrac. tors in Greater New Haven have unanimously agreed to a new con. tract with the union which includes vacations with pay for the mem. bers of No. 186. The contract, be- ieved to be one of the first of its kind, if not the first, in the United States, is now before the Wage Ad- justment Board for approval.
 Following is the full text of the vacation clause agreed to by con- tractors:
 Article Is, Sec. 1. The Employer agrees to give to every employee seven days vacation with five days pay after every 125 working days. The count of said 125 working days shall begin April 1st, 1o45, if approved by the Wage Labor Board.
 ssSec. 2. When .an employee is layed off before the expiration Of the 125 working days, the Em' { ployer agrees to send check to the Painters Union Local l86 for the amount of A cents multiplied by the number of days the em- ployee worked, and to specify the name of the employee, the mum ber of days he worked and that the check is for vacation benefits.
 "Sec. 3. When the vacation period is due and any changes are to be made in the vacation schedule for any reason whatsoever on the part ot either the employee or the Employer it must be approved by the Painters Union Local 186 or its Business Representative.
 In submitting the contract to the Wage Adjustment Board, Local No. 186 wrote:
 4 "We, the Painters Union Local No. l86 of New Haven, Conn, are apply ing for approval of paid vacations This is included in Article IS of our agreement, which is attached.
 "The following are our reasons tor the above request:
 ''l. Due to the war emergency and due to the shortage of man. power. our men are forced to work seven days a week. This situation has prevailed since Pearl HarbOr.
 s'2. New chemicals introduced in the present paint formulas adverse Iy affect the health of the men much more than formerly.
 ''3. The average age of our men is fifty or over.
 ss4. If our men continue to work under, the above prevailing condi- tions. without am opportunity for a rest period, we must expect an increase in accidents, and the seri- Ous weakening, prematurely, of the mems health. This will result in a further shortage of manpower."
 The contract was negotiated by Business Agent Saul Kreas, President William Zuckerman, and Secretary William Enright, representing No 186 and Victor Russoto, Max Fried man, George c. McManus and Joseph Cohen, representing the contractors.

Hospital Workers
 Under Wagner Act

WASfIINTON - By denying a petition for writ of certiOrari in the case of the Central Dis pensary X Emergency Hospital of Washington against the NLRB the U.' s. Supreme Court upheld in effecr the NLRB con- tention that hospitals and their employees come under the pro- visions of the Wagner Act.
 The hospital had refused to bargain with the Building Ser vice Employees International Union (AFL) on a claim it was not subject to the act, that less than a majority of its employees participated in an NLRB poll won by the union in October, 1942, and that it was a charit- able 'non-profit organization.

As We See It by
 THE STAFF

U. S. Senator Brien McMahor voted against the ''compromise' manpower bill Tuesday, and Sena tor Hart voted for it. The bill which the A.F.L. strenuOusly op posed, was defeated 46-29.
 The legislative hearing on the bill which provides that the city of New Haven shall pay the pre- vailing wage on all municipal con struction, remodeling, and repair work will be held by the Commit tee on Cities and Boroughs at the State Capitol on Wednesday, Apri 25, at 2 PM.
 This act already has been passed unanimously by the New Haven Board of Aldermen, and now only awaits legislative approval to be- come law. Similar. laws are now in force in Hartford, East Hartford and Bridgeport, and there is nc reason why every city should not have it. The reason the Legislature must pass on the New Haven ordi. nance is because of the city char. ter. In other cities of the state, there is no need to obtain the ap. prOval of the Legislature.
 JOE TONE had a great thrill Sunday. He knew that his son, Elm. met W, Tone, who is in the Air Corps, was scheduled to fly over New Haven that day, on his way north to Labrador, Greenland, and then to England. All day he watch. ed the skies, and late in the eve. ming, Emmet and his buddies came over. The plane was out of sight again in few long seconds.
 The broadcast on s'Labor's Role in American Politics. in which Harry Feinmark and Tim Collins participated last Thursday, clearly showed that their opponents want. ed to talk about everything but la. bor's role in politics. This is not surprising, in view of organized labOr's increasing political pro. gram. We think the State Fedora. ton officers did a good job. An. other State Federation broadcast will be held on E'The Connecticut Forum of the Air' early in May.
 CECIL B. DeMILLE isn't going to let that $98, 8,OOO-a-year radio joI get away from him if he can helr it.
 The radio director filed notice with superior court here that he is asking the California supreme court to set aside the judgment is' sued against him last January. Al that time Superior Judge Emmett H. Wilson said DeMilIe's union American Federation of Radio Ar lists (AFL), had the right to com pei DeMille to pay a $l assess ment which. was being used to helI fight Proposition l2, anti-uniOr legislation since defeated. DeMille wouldn't pay up ''on principle' and so was busted by AFRA, bar ring him from his weekly radio program.
