can industrial city.
 BY VERNON EDWARDS
 NEA Staff Correspondent
 Bridgeport, Conn, Sept. 6-Three key men are piloting this typical American industrial city through the uncnarted channels of reconver- sion.
 One is the Socialist mayor, an- other d top industrialist, and the last labor leader.
 During the war, they forgot all differences to work together and help set arms production records for their city and nation. In these first days of peace, they've still stuck together, hopeful of licking the threat of mass unemployment and bringing new boom to Bridge port.
 But these men, eacl of whom won a home front badge of honor, are split now on one vital recon version question: Washington's role in leading the country toward the healthy, prosperous days of peace. Their ideas represent the three big segments of thought on this issue from coast to coast.
 Take the mayor, Jasper McLevy. He's pretty optimistic about Bridge ports future. Like most men there, he thinks that many of the 25,000 war workers who lost their jobs after the Japanese surrender will get new work right in Bridgeport, turning out civilian goods.
 [ However this cagy, veteran mayor knows that certain number, may be as high as 10000 won't find new jobs. In addition, he must make plans for the city's 28,000 service men.
 To give jobs Lo these men and women, McLevy has a public works program. It calls for the building of sewage disposal plants, a new bus terminal, road improvements and increased harbor facilities.
 But all these things take big money far more than even a boom town like Bridgeport can pay out. McLevy says the Government and State must foot most of these bills-that unemployment, after all, is not the problem of any single city.
 And he's looking for such outside help as an FILA project to house the thousands of migrant workers who want to stay on in Bridgeport-to give new jobs to the carpenters, painters, contractors, lumbermen, etc.
 AS McLevy sees it, Bridgeport should hear the loose cash jingle along Main street again - provid- ed Washington takes the lead with a free-spending, overall reconversion

ahead for both Bridgeport and America. But he sees the boom coming from big business, unhamp- cred by Washington restrictions.
 This industrialist points to his own firm. Soon after his war orders were cancelled. 35C- workers were temporarily laid off. In a very short time, however, he plans to begin re- hiring. And eventually, Bridgeport Brass will employ from so to 70 per cent more workers than before Pearl Harbor.
 Steinkraus points out that his firm expects to be doing 50 per cent more business after reconversion than in 1899. His huge plants will be give. a $7,OOO.OOO remodeling to fit them for huge civilian orders. All that's necessary now for a mighty production cycle to begin is for his new tools to be installed, for rav material to become avail able, and, according to him, for wartime price restrictions to end.
 Unlike the Mayor, whom he high ly respects, Steinkraus wants less and less Washington leadership. He points out that he must operate un- der old OPA ceiling prices. And he threatens to operate under loss for 90 days, if necessary, just to prove to Washington that those ceilings must be raised.
 ASK GOVERNMENT CONTROL
 Alex Cashin, international dele- gate of Local 320 of the CIO Mine, Mill and Shelters Union, which in- cludes most of Steinkraus' workers, wants the whole problem to be set- tied in Washington.
 A veteran union man who well remembers depression days, Cashin refuses to look at reconversion as a local issue. He's fighting for pas

Complains About Park

Dear Sir:
Mr.. Siebens our so-called
welfare director claims that
Collins Park has not been
neglected. Who is he trying to
kid?
It's hard TO believe that a
building would have been
touched with a paint brush or
that the weeds on the ball
diamonds would have been
cut If the director had not
been on the receiving end of
some we'll earned criticism.
How about the swimming
pool floor? Is it going to be
resurfaced, or will the kids
get their bones broken in the
space between the slabs?
We would still like to re-
mind Mr.. Siebens and his pal
Art Jurrus, the Pied Piper of
East Toledo who watches the
rats, that it would be good
idea to have a passage put un-
der the railroad tracks so that
children using the park could
60 and come without running
the risk of becoming an asset
to some undertaken. This
should be taken care of now,
because when the war is
over and the larger coal
docks are put in along the
bay, there will be coal trains
passing there every five min
utes.
We of East Toledo are ask
ing that the rats be forgotten
for a while until something
can be done for the humans.
And while I'm about it, I
might as well say that the
streets are hard on the tires
which we are still trying to
conserve. How about a little
welfare service for East To-
ledo from both Mr.. Siebens
and Councilman Jurrus?
Fraternally,
Claude Hess.

Local II, UAW-ClO

We DAY
AS this article is being written, the Ma
ton is observing We Day. 1t seems more i'm
portant now then ever before that we should
understand the laws which have been passed
favoring Labor. Even though the War in the
Pacific is far from being won, announcements
are being made of cutbacks in the War Pro-
gram and 1t is very apparent that reconver-
sion to civilian production is just being start
ed This means a considerable number of
employed In this Country. Estimates vary;
however, 1t Is not improbable that the num-
ber of unemployed may reach eight or ten
million workers
would not be surprised to hear many in
dustrialists making claims that the so-called
Labor laws are hindering and even prevent
ing them from making rapid reconversions to
civilian production 1t should be remembered;
however, that through their efforts the maxi
mum income limit set by President Roose-
welt at $25, 900 was banned and they were per-
mitted to 60 on making their profits regard
less of Labor's request for equality of sacri-
flee. Labor was limited by the Little Steel
Formula which has not even now been broken
in spite of the fact that various surveys have
proven it to be false formula
Last week, wrote of the essential points
in the Wage-Hour Law covering this Act l
believe sufficiently well for everyone to have
a working knowledge of it. To conclude my
remarks on this Act, l would like to point out
that when Employers are in violation of the
Wage-Hour Law, employees may bring suit
themselves through their agent, in any
court having jurisdiction to recover unpaid
minimum wages or unpaid overtime compen-
sation. Proof having been established an En-
ployer is required to pay his employees dou-
BILE the unpaid sums plus court costs and rea-
sonable attorneys fees. The signature of a
worker on time sheet or payroll record does
not relieve the Employer from the responsible
ity if the record is inaccurate.
recent court ruling holds that even
though an Employer voluntarily makes up the
unpaid sum to his employees, he cannot void
the penalty prescribed by the Act and the en-
ployees must be paid double the unpaid sum-
1t is not always necessary that an employee
brings suit against an Employer as the Fede-
raj Government can upon receiving COM
plants or knowledge of the fact prosecute
the violator and upon conviction the Employ
er could be fined up to $10,000.00.
1t took seven years to do it, and 41,722
pages of testimony; but The Aluminium Cor
poration of America at last officially has been
branded a monopoly special U. S. Court,
called by special Act of Congress- ruled as
follows: "Alcoa meant to keep and did keep
(aluminum) ngot market with which it start
ed" 1t now remains to be whether the
vast commercial octopus which has held alu
dissolved.
We have thousands of men now acting with
courage We have too few who think with
courage. Raymond Clapper.
