detrimental from a health viewpoint The present pay rate for phone oper- ators in other jobs provide about $32 for starting base rate.
 Inconsistencies in the Police De- pertinent in regard to pay, vacation and sick leave have seriously en- dangered the morale of police men, a condition that is by no means helpful to efficiency; con- ditiOn that is harmful to the best ,, interests of public safety, and the important responsibility of pro- tecting life and property. The primary grievances policemen are most interested in are merely that they receive at the least, equal privileges that other City Elm plOyees now enjoy, namely that of vacation, a paid sick leave and decent wage increase that will enable their families to maintain decent living standard.
 At present, policemen are forced to take outside jobs to provide sufficient income for family expenses. Such practices are not in accord with sound, sensible working conditions that prevail in practically all other Police Departments in the Country, and certainly can not insure proper protection to the citizens of the com munity.
 CUSTODIANS IGNORED?
 Although the Board of Education Employees, Local 287, have submitted to their respective Board, a list of grievances that has interested the Custodians and Engineers for many months, no definite word has ever reached them regarding the Boards decision.
 The Local has asked that each Custodian be granted an increase of $lOO per year, that time and One-half be paid for overtime and that additional help be allowed for snow removal i'm the winter. That working conditions are poor is evident by the many resignations that have occurred in the Gus todians' ranks i'm recent years. It IS financially impossible for mar ried custOdians and teachers with children to exist in $500 yearly pay.
 UNITED WE STAND?
 4 final aI out effort is going to be made to the direct representa- tiUes of the people, namely the Board Of Aldermen, at the Public Hearing of the Budget at the Hearing Room Of the Hall of Rec ords On October 10th. Delegates Of all labor groups are urged to notify their respectiue locals asking for q turnout that sOiH uphold the fight that their brothers in the labor movement are nraking for decent sOOrking conditions and de- cent pay rates that sOiII promote the ,oeItare and efficiency Ot City Employees, aIlOsVing them to re- mOUe the stigma of being Glass E citizens.

SWEET NOTHINCS

Sweets will be as scarce as over paid workers during the coming months. Although the amount o1 candy purchased by the armed forces has been greatly reduced, civilian sup plies will continue short, mainly be- cause of the sugar shortage.
 Candy manufacturers are limited tc 50% of the amount of sugar they used in the comparable quarter of 1941 The industry is now getting 70%o of the chocolate it used in 1o41 but un- less manufacturers use bitter choco- late, their output is governed by their sugar allowance.

FL0lUerS Laid On
 "Picketfs" Graue

SAN DIEGO, Calif.-(FP)- When Salesdrivers Local 683, Intl. Bro. of Teamsters, aban- dOned a picket line at the un- fair Clingman's Dairy for the more effective stunt of follow ing nOnunion drivers on their routes with pickets, they left behind a memorial. It was g neatly prepared ''grave" near the dairy entrance.
 The grave is that of a ficti- tiOus character the union calls Tom Picket, whose ghost is SUD- posed to haunt the dairy, even though he's not there in the flesh. At the invitation of the salesdrivers, reverent unionists from all crafts have been mak- ing pilgrimages to the grave to leave floral offerings.
 Tom Picket may not be around, but his spirit goes marching on.

doubt has greatly effected their morale to the detriment of the children in our public schools.
 Unfortunately, the freezing of the 179o has completely complicated the already greatly confused system now in effect, and the efforts of three years research work by the teachers to have single salary schedule ac- cepted by the Board has made them feel that their best efforts are not in the least appreciated.
 FIREFICHTERS NEED HELP!
 Fire6ghters Local BPS, AFL, has submitted humane requests for salary adjustments and. changes in working conditions since August 7th to the Board of Fire Commissioners. These requests for changes, for long time in practice by other fire departments of equal size throughout the coun- try, have proven beneficial to the morale of the men and increased the efficiency of the department to the betterment of the community as a whole. The modern request that local fremen are most immediately inter ested in is that of the elimination of the long day.
 An archiac working system now makes it necessary for a fireman to spend 84 hours a week on the job, 50 weeks i'm the year.
 To enjoy one days leave, it is necessary for a fireman to have his relief spend "A complete hours in one day at the firehouse. The Fireman's Local have presented a 10 group plan, which would elim- mate the Long Day, and still pro- vide a 70 hour working week, guaranteeing adequate fire prOtec- tion for the entire community. We hope the Board of Fire Commits sioners will adopt this plan and seriously consider the wag e changes advocated by the Fire fighters Local.
 POLICEMEN'S GRIEVANCES
 The Police Department Local $50, AFL, presented to the Board of Po- lice commissioners a 5-point program on June 18th. This program, based on a survey recently put out by the United States Conference of Mayors, provides for alvacation of Is days, a paid sick leave of IS days, the estab- lishment of a AS hour week, an in crease to $52.OO week and an in- crease for telephone operators from $23.10, their present low rate, to $35.00 weekly.
 Contrary to popular public opinion, policemen don't have any vacation at all or any sick leave. This inclusive survey contained facts regarding PA cities in the country, the majority of Police De- partments representing town $ much smaller than New Haven.
 At present, the phone operators work eight hours day. Sundays and holidays included, changing their shifts weekly, an arrangement that competent medical advisors claim is

The worker uses less Of the foot work, knee

fnsiderable emphasis is directed on the straight

Furthermore. the Instructions said that in the

In this respect, the WLB was in accord with
