(Continued from Page l)


 Labor is dedicated 60 the prOpOsi- ton that peaceful relations be- tween labor and management help everyone. Our record in COnnecti- cut, where there has not been a serious stOppage of work since Pearl HarbOr by any ALL. union, bears this out.
 CONTINUED COOPERATION
 "We believe, as I am sure you do, that workers have the right to organ ize and bargain collectively without fear of discrimination. We further be- lieve that the fine cooperation achieved by labor and management in this state can best be continued and extended If we know the rules of the game, which is what a State Labor Relations Act does. Both worker and employer know the rules under such legislation, and must abide by them.
 Connecticut is one of the most highly industrialized states in the na- tion, but we have the strange situation of not having a State Labor Relations Act The exact reasons that such an Act would benefit our state will be presented to you by a number of Con- necticut citizens"
 SPEAKERS FOR A.F.L.
 Also speaking for the A.F.L. were President Collins, whose statement is published below in full; Michael J. Barry, president of the Conn. State Building Trades Council {; Joseph P. Cleary of the Bridgeport Teamsters, representing the Team sters Joint Council No. 64! James J. Dooley, Hartford Policemen's $ Union; J. Lawrence O'Toole, secre- tary of the Bridgeport Central Labor Union; Attorney Harold Strauch, representing the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees; Joseph V. Cronin, Lodge No. 743, Machinists. East Hartford; Michael Madugno. Secretary, Stamford Typographical Union; John HOnore, President, New Haven Typographical Union Rep. Edwin Rice, president of the New London Central Labor Union William Morris, Hartford Electrical Device Workers; John R. Thomp- son, president of Local 424, Iron Workers, New Haven; and Frank Devine, Hartford Electricians, also representing the State Electrical Workers Association; represents tives of the Hartford P. O. Clerks Union; and Rudolph Teta, mem Der of the Waterbury teamsters.
 The CLIO. speakers also came from all sections of the state, and supported the Connecticut Federation of Labor bill without reservation.
 Arguments in favor of the bill were largely summed up by Pres. Collins who said to the legislative committee
 "Is there anyone present in this hearing chamber who believes that any employer should have the right to

in operation since 1o37 with such satis- factory results that Governor Thomas E. Dewey in his message to the legis- lature last month referred to the Board which administers 1t as one of the most important agencies in the state.
 EFFECTIVE INSTRUMENT"
 "New York's Labor Relations Act has been an effective instrument in maintaining peaceful and harmonious labor relations. Its Board in 1o43 supervised 276 elections to determine the proper bargaining agent, and oi these v per cent were held upon the consent of the employers and labor or ganizations. In the first 61z years oi operation the Board closed 1O,58e cases. It disposed of 88.6 per cent ol these, or almost nine out of ten cases without the necessity of formal hear ing. Over 50 per cent of these were settled by friendly agreement between the employer and the labor organiza- ton, or by the withdrawal of the charge. In only 268 cases, or 6.2 per cent of the number of cases filed, die the Board find evidence of unfair labor practices.
 'In view of this record it is apparent that the State Labor Relations Act has been eminently practical and that any attempt to repeal the Act would be opposed by both labor and manage ment.
 ''The curious anomaly exists ir Connecticut that the ma jOrity of the employees in this state are under the protection of the National Labor Relations Act, while the minority an estimated 25O,OOO employed ir intra-state character and generally in the lower paid categories, ar. unprotected.
 MUST PROVIDE MACHINERY
 With the Victory compact betweei labor and management no longer il operation after the war, is it not ob vious that Connecticut's industries vii be in better position to flourish anc prosper if industrial strife and unres were prevented? Clearly machiner, should be provided to facilitate th' peaceful settlement of disputes betweel labor and management. What bette instrument could there be, insofar a intra-state commerce is concerned than State Labor Relations Boart that would encourage collective bar gaining on the basis of equality be tween the parties concerned?
 ''This is a non-partisan measure Both the present Governor and hi predecessor, of different politica faiths, have declared unequivocall. in favor of State Labor Relation Act. Governor Baldwin has recon mended the adoption of a "sound workable" Act. The legislation w

AFL Monthly Survey
 Assails Forced Labor

Forced labor is not the answer to manpower shortages, Labor's Month ly Survey finds in its latest issue which is devoted to a detailed review of the nations manpower needs.
 The survey urges increases of wages in 1ow-paid industries, more exact estimates of manpower needs, elimination of waste and hoarding of labor and more vigorous cooperative steps by labor and management to meet local shortages.

KODIAK DIARY

This week we trotted from the City Hall down Kodiak Street into South Mill Bay, up South Mill Bay onto Alaska Street Git should be Alaska Way, we are told). went down Alaska Way to the intersection and there were confronted with the choice of North Brooklyn or South Brooklyn.
 We took South Brooklyn to Kraft Street and traversing it landed in Shelikoff Street. How do we know? Because we followed the new wooden street signs on new metal posts now being placed about the city. Joe Zentner, street superintendent, reported Monday that l2 were already in and work was in pro- gress on the remainder.
 It is quite a revelation to dis cover that the second street over is Alder and that the arterial tangent by the Coca-Cola plant is Yukon. Now if people will just learn the new names! Until they do, if you are look
 ing for the Mirror Office, don't ask for Katmai street. For that
 is where we are.

Because of an article of local interest, the December issue of "The Regular, published at Washington, D. C., was distri- buted locally through the mails this week by the Kodiak Cham Der of Commerce.
 Page g of the issue carries an article about "the noble gesture made by" Mrs. John Hubley, and her daughter, Kia Lund, members of the auxiliary of the Regular Veterans Association, who made 200O floral pieces to be used in decorating the graves of our men who lost their lives on Attu. The article is illustrated with a picture of the two women and Rev, Gregory Gleboff, who blessed the flowers, standing by display of their work and a picture of the blossoms as dis played in the window of the Is- land Fountain.

Small-scale, intermittent plac- CT mining has been carried on for over 40 years on the beaches of the west coast of Kodiak Island, the total production from which
 has probably amounted to some- thing over $1O0,O00 in gold and a minor amount of platinum metals. Prospecting and devel- opment work have been carried on internationally for a period of years on gold lodes on the island but only a small production bas resulted. Some of the showlngs are considered to be worthy of additional development work to determine their commercial pos siEilities Other minerals contain ed in the lodes include copper, zinc, lead and silver and the pres- ence of tin in at least one of the lodes has been reported but not verified.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-08-25
By LOUIS F. KEEMLE

United Press Staff Correspondent Hong Kong threatens to become the subject of a serious dispute between Great Britain and China which might cast an unpleasant cloud over the postwar settlement of China's territorial sovereignty.
 It depends greatly on how big an issue China wants to make out of 1t and whether she intends to insist adamantly on the full re- turn of the British crown colony to Chinese Jurisdiction. Britain's position is unequivocal-she wants to accept the Japanese surrender of Hong Kong and re-establish the British administration there: Prime Minister Clement R Attlee made it quite clear in parliament yester- day, to the accompaniment of cheers, that he indorses Winston Churchill's famous declaration that I did not become his majes- try'S first minister to preside over the liquidation of the British em- pire."
 Still in Doubt
 Chungking's position has not been made formally known. China's inSiStence on taking over from the Japanese, however, indicates that she intends to press her claim. Hong Kong being admittedly in the Chinese theater of military operations, the British might have to submit at least to joint occupa- tion, with as good grace as possible
 The attitude of the United States is not altogether clear. Ernest Bevin, British foreign secretary, told Com mons that the United States and China have agreed on the restora- tion of Hong Kong as a British crown colony. Nevertheless, Sec retary of State James F. Byrnes subsequently said the matter would be discussed by the council of for eign ministers in London next month. A foreign office spokesman retorted that Britain would not object but we really, don't see what there is to, discuss"
 No, actual light was thrown or the situation by a Chinese official in London who said the Chinese government recognizes Hong Kong as a British colony, and in event O. it's prior occupation by Chinese forces, would merely preserve order and withdraw them when the Bri-

tish arrive. There is no certainty that the official reflected Chunk kings views accurately.
 British Claim
 Legally, the British have a strong claim on Hong Kong-much strong CT. for instance, than Russia has on Port Arthur or Dairen in Man. churia. If, as reported, the new ChineSe-Russian treaty provides for the return of Port Arthur to Russia, it would be extremely awk- ward for Moscow to oppose Bri- tain's claim to Hong Kong, or even to refuse to support it.
 Hong Kong Island proper, which is off the southeast China coast, was ceded to Britain fin perpetuity' by China under the treaty of Man. king in 1842. Kowloon, on the main- land, was ceded by China in 1860. In 1898 Britain obtained from China a 99-year lease on the small islands around Hong Kong and large area of the adjacent mainland. The lease still has more than half century to run, and China would have to advance impelling reasons Tor foerclosing.
 Russia's Lease
 In contrast, Russia took Port Ar- thur in 1898 and obtaina 25-year lease from China. The Japanese took it away in the Russo-Japanese war and was granted possession by the treaty of Portsmouth. In 1915 the Japanese obtained a 99-year lease on the entire Kwantung Pen- insula, which includes Port Arthur.
 Hong Kong is a rich prize, com mercially, economically and stra- logically. It is one of the worlds great harbors and is hub of trade, banking and commercial interests including American as well as Bri- tish and others. It is the deep wa ter port for Ch.na's great city of Canton, 90. miles inland, and dom- mates the trade routes to the vast interior.
 It has been pointed out by Lon don financial quarters thai. under British control, Hong Kong might continue to be a greater asset to China than under Chinese opera ton. It was suggested thee quite unofficially, that solution nigh be found by giving China share in customs and excise control and rev. enues, plus unrestricted Chinese right of entry and exit.
