Waste Paper
Drive Starts

More than 10000 Detroit boys
will take part in the Gen. Eisen-
bower Boy Scout waste paper
campaign which starts today and
will continue through April.
According 10 A. Douglas jamie
son. campaign chairman, Gen.
Eisenhower has appealed to the
Boy Scouts 10 collect 300, 1000, 600
pounds of paper which is impor'
tant TO the prosecution of the war
'The vital need for waste
paper cannot be exaggerated"
said Jameson. For example,
runways for landing fields at
the battle front are made
largely of tar-soaked paper.
70O,OOO NECESSITIES
Every Red Cross ambulance
that is shipped overseas must
have SO pounds of paper for its
covering. Paper and paper pulp
20 into more than 100000 war
necessities"
Jameson cited a statement by
Brig. Gen. Hugh G. Minton, chief
of army service forces, TO the ef-
feet that the need for paper in
which TO ship millions of pieces
Of supplies is staggering.
Every shell that goes TO the
front must have a paper carton
before IL can 20 forward. The
demand for shells has increased
so sharply that by the middle
of the year, IL will be double the
amount used In 1914.
TIE IN 100 LBS.
'In England IL Is now a mis-
demeanor 20 throw away the
cardboard cover Of used
packet OF matches. People are
taken TO court and made to pay
n fine for wasting paper over
there"
Jameson urged householders 10
save waste paper IN a dry place
in their basement and TO tie it
up into 100-pounb lots.
Trucks will cover the city on
collection days that will be an
nounced later In the news
papers. On collection day put
your paper on the front porch
the the scouts will take Ii
away"
Jameson pleaded with small
storekeepers not to burn even an
inch OF paper but to save it for
collection by the scouts during
the waste paper campaign.

of collective bargaining.' Since when have employers not had this right? Can the gentleman cite a single case of labor organiza- tion interfering with the right of employers to organize? Of course he cannot. The National Labor Re. lations Act does not contain such a provision, nor do any of the Labor Relations Acts adopted by other states. Why, then, is it offered if not to confuse the issue?
 ''Not only is House Bill 844 un- satisfactory to labor, but SO also are House Bills 842, 843, 1927, 1928 and 1929. Each contain pro- visions either definitely injurious to labor or totally unnecessary. Some of them while purporting to pro- mote collective bargaining actually would discourage it by placing further obstacles i'm the way oi self organization by employees Several provisions which appear innocent on their face are identical with those sponsored by such mo- lOriOus labor baiters as the so. called Christian American Associa- ton which busies itself i'm the South seeking enactment of vicious anti labor legislation. Are we in Con- necticut going to follow in the footsteps of the Pappy O'Daniels and other Southern reactiOnaries who are intent upon smashing labor unions? I hope not. Certain ly this is not the path to stable labor relations.
 "House Bill 1928 proposes the setting up of a State Board of Labor Relations as part of the Department of Labor and Factory Inspection. May I point out tha, the present Commissioner of Labor is on record as favOring Senate Bill l and House Bill 24O which creates an independent agency to adminis- ter the Act.
 ''As regards House Bill lO3O, fl ever a bill deserved to be called an anti-labOr bill, this certainly does. It reeks of discrimination against labor. If it is necessary for the Commissioner of Labor to keep

Opponents Of Labor Act Are Challenged

(Continued from Page One) with the idea of how best to ham, string labor.
 I have asked other representa- lives of the Connecticut Federation of Labor to give you the details of our Objectives. As legislative agent of the State Federation, however it is my duty to state for the record that it would have been much bet ter if those who drafted some of the bills being heard here today had been more honest, and had in troduced outright anti-labOr legis. lation. Instead they hope to use the backdOOr to put over their crip- bling laws.
 s"Your Honorable Committee is aware of the fact that we are not asking for a law giving workers in intra-state commerce the right to organize. They already have that right. We are simply asking the General Assembly to pass a law which will protect these workers against discrimination if and when they form or join an organization of their own choosing.
 In my considered opinion, the large majority of the employers of Connecticut are prepared to ac- cept collective bargaining. Our ex- perience with the NAtional Labor Relations Act shows that. It is only the sweat-shopper, the chisel- CT, the man who underbids his competitor by paying sub-standard wages, who is not prepared to deal with his employees as human be- ings. It is this type of employer who forgets that his employees are also citizens of his community and state.
 s'Centlemen, there is no new principle at stake in this legisla- tion. We simply ask for the pro- tection of about a quarter of a million workers who are among the lowest paid in our state. l repeat. we are not asking you to give them the right to organize. They have that right, and the bitterest enemies OA 1dUVKS nV 1udttCE Wmdt AMCtA1OuS they may use, cannot deprive them of it.
 ''In Senate Bill No. l, and House Bill No. 24O, you have an Act which will benefit workers, em- ployer, and our state as a whole, l ask you to give it your most seri- ous consideration.
 Collins Statement Following is the statement made by President Collinss
 s'The position of organized labor with regard to State Labor Rela- tions Act has been presented to your Honorable Committee at the two previous hearings, and I am sure there is no doubt in your minds that Senate Bill l and House Bill 24O have the solid backing of the labor organizations of this state.
 These identical bills, we feel, fully meet Governor Baldwin $

recommendation to the General As sembly for the passage of a ''sOund, workable" Act. They con- tain the best features of the Ma tional Labor Relations Act and the State Labor Relations Acts in our neighbOring states, and their adop- tiOn will encourage peaceful and harmonious relations between man. agement and labor in intra state commerce.
 ''In sponsoring this legislation the Connecticut Federation of Labor has been frank. It has ex- plained that labor in this state suffers from certain practices on the part of unfair employers practices which have been outlawed in interstate commerce, and has asked for the enactment of Senate Bill l and House Bill 24O in order that the employees affected i'm this state will have the protection of the law in the exercise of their right to organize as the majority of the employees in Connecticut have under the National Labor Relations Act. We have not tried to gain any advantages through this Act. For example, no employer is required by its provisions to enter into a closed shop agreement.
 S'The opposition, I regret, has not been as frank. The spokesman for one group declares no State Labor Relations Act is necessary, and choose completely to disregard the evidence presented at these hearings of unfair labor practices by many employers. The truth is that the industry he represents pays miserably low wages, and if the em- pIoyers association was candid with you, it would say: We are against this bill because we do not want the employees in this industry to or ganize. We prefer not to bargain collectively with them through rep resentatives of their own choosing.
 ''The spokesman for several other groups of employers, who also pay wages insufficient for proper and healthful maintenance. has failed in the two previous hear ings to indicate clearly which bill he favors although he made it plain that he opposes the bill supported by labor. He did refer, however, to House Bill 844 as a 'twO-way street.

Full Employment For Forty Years
 Proposed To Industry By Shishkin

NEW YORK CITY-A sweeping program to stabilize and assure full employment for forty years was ad- vanced by Boris Shishlein, A.F.L. economist, before the New York Chapter of the American Society for the Advancement of Management.
 Shishkin warned that the goal of full employment cannot be di- vOrced from the goal of adequate income. To assure high purchasing power by the nations workers, he said, steps must be taken to avoid long stretches of periodic part-time

on file the compensation paid to union officers, then why is it moi also necessary for him to keep on file the salaries received by officers of firms in this State? If union financial reports should be filed, then why not the balance sheets and operating statements of busi- nesses?
 CRYSTAL CLEAR
 ''But the bills anti-labor char acter is made crystal clear by the penalties provided for failure to carry out its requirements. A union officer or agent failing to comply could be fined up to $500, or inn prisOned for six months, or both, but an employer failing to comply could be fined not more than $lOO. And such a bill is introduced ii. the General Assembly of this fair state in the year l945!
 "An objection has been raised to the passage of State Labor Re latiOns Act on the basis of the cost of operating State Labor Rela- tions Board. May I simply point out that the loss in profits to an employer and in wages to em- plOyees as the result of one strike OF lockout usually is more than the cost of administering a State Labor Relations Board for one year. And l ann confident such a Board will pay for itself hundred times over.
 "As matter of simple justice to labor and in the interests of sound industrial relations the Connecticut Federation of Labor respectfully urges your Committee to give its approval to Senate Bill l and House Bill 24O.''

employment and seasonal discm- plOyment.
 This can be accomplished, he as- serted, by stabilization of production and stabilization of workers earn ings.
 Guaranteed annual wage plans for workers are the most practical step in this direction, Shishkin declared. Such plans are adaptable to many in- dustrieS, he said, and should become a recognized part of the wage policy of American industry.
 As a further step, Shishkin pro- posed recognition of the need to
The union times., 1945-03-03

make sure that the American work CT is given opportunity of full em- plOyment during his ''eniire pre- ductive life span." That span now covers only twenty-seven years be- tween the ages of l8 and 45, he said. It should be extended 10 tho age of 60, he urged. Only by ap- preaching this goal of full em- plOyment for forty years, Shishkin concluded, can the term full em- plOyment" be given real substance and meaning.

NH. Plumbers And Painters Get Ready

Connecticut building trades unions are beginning to think in terms of vacations with pay for their membership, and two New Haven unions, Plumbers and Steamfitters, No. 349, and Painters and Decorators, No. l86, have drawn up agreements to be submitted to contractors in the near future.
 NO. 349's Plan
 Local Union No. 349's plan reads as follows:
 ''Each person eligible to weeks vacation with pay must have worked total of so weeks from the date of acceptance of this pro- pOsal, before he will be entitled to said vacation with pay.
 ''Each person will report to Local 349 one month before he in tends to take his week of vacation, SO that arrangements can be made with his employer as to the date, and if it should be necessary to re- place said person for a period of one week by an available mechanic or apprentice, the Local will do sO'
 "Should a state of emergency exist where it would be hardship on an employer, he may present his case before a committee who will be appointed by the Local. Under such a case the employee could receive his vacation pay and continue to work, but by such an agreement, he would forfeit any other week off until the following year.
 Each employer will pay monthly, 29o of each employees monthly earn ings, accompanied with list of names of each employee and 2@o of hours worked for each month.
 Cheeks and lists will be made payable to Local 34o and each check will be designated as vacation fund only.
 These checks will be deposited by an authorized member of Local 43e in New Haven bank under the title Vacation Fund and said authorized person will keep record of all de posits and disbursements of said fund. Checks issued for said vacation to each individual will be a special check printed for Vacation Fund Only and must be endorsed by three members who will be bonded and will make monthly reports to Local 34o.'
 PAINTERS PLAN
 Local Union No. 186 will submit the following plan to the contractors
 "The employer agrees to give every employee seven days vacation with five days pay after every l25 working days.
 s'When an employee is layed of before the expiration of the IFS working days, the employer agrees to send a check to the Painters Union Local 186 for the amount of A cents multiplied by the number of days the employee worked, and to specify the name of the em- pIoyee, the number of days he worked and that the check is for vacation benefits.
 ssWhen the vacation period ii due and any change is to be made i'm the vacation schedule for any reason whatsoever on the part oi either the employee or the em ployer, it must be approved by Painters Union Local l86, or by it' Business Representative"
