SELL Fund Goes Over$4,OOO,OOO In Fourth Year
Dividend Scale To Be Con- tinued-3 New Banks
 Join System

At the close of its fourth year of operation, the Connecticut Savings Bank Life Insurance system now has $4,l38,595 of ins surance in force, it was announced this week by John P. Royston, secretary of the SELL fund which was estab- lished by the General Assembly.
 The system extended the scope of its business last year by offering group life coverage with rates lower than those offered by private com panies.
 In addition, it lowered the age of eligibility of children to one month
 An increase of 77.5 per cent was shown in 1914 when $1,898,- l58 worth of insurance was placed in force, as compared with $l ,O69,- 437 written in l943.

Continued from Page One) threatens the stability of industry, and imposes a financial burden on the community by increasing the need for the payment of public moneys for relief"
 They declare further: "Mini- mum wage rates were established for certain industries in this state by Minimum Wage Boards in l94O, 1941 and l942. The increase in the cost of living has made these rates inadequate. They do not pro- vide for proper, healthful mainte- ance of the workers in these in- dustries. In other industries or businesses in intra-state commerce where no Minimum Wage Boards have been created there are no minimum wage rates whatsoever '' Asserting that many workers are expected to be jobless in the inn mediate postwar period the state ment continues: ''It is in just such period that fair employers will need protection from those who resort to wage cutting. The setting of a minimum wage rate by law applying to all workers would create a floor below which wages could not fall"
 WOMEN AND MINORS Five: Amendment to the Labor Law to provide that maximum hours | for women and minors in mercantile establishments be set at 45 instead of AS a week.
 Maintaining that the present maxi mum work week is too much of a hardship on women and minors (boys and girls between the ages of 16 and l8), the introducers of this legisla- ton declare: Most women i'll mer- cantile trade have home duties to take care of, such as shopping, preparing meals, making beds, washing and mending clothes and keeping their homes clean. When the time spent for these duties and travelling is added to the hours spent at work 1t can be seen readily that they do not have enough time for sleep and healthful | recreation.
 They also state: Forty eight hours at work are certainly too long for boys and girls. They need more spare time for educational and recreational purposes"
 Referring to the postwar period when it is predicted that cutbacks ir war industries would compel workers to look for other jobs, the statement holds that the lowering of work hour requirements would create badly needed job opportunities after the war"
 Six: Amendment to Labor Law to provide that the maximum work hours for women and minors in public restaurants be set at 48 in. stead of g a week.
 The sponsors of this legislation state that the explanation offered with respect to the previous amend

 The dividend scale for this year will be continued as in 1914, with normal increases for older policies.
 Policy-holders who have been in sured for two years will receive divi- dend payments increased by 9.69o over those in their first year and policy holders who by 1945 have been in- sured for three years will receive dividends, which are increased by 11.1% in the aggregate over the divi- dends received in their second policy year.
 Three new banks have joined the system in the past two months-the Ridgeheld Savings bank, the Jewett City savings bank and the Woodbury Savings bank.
 These bring to 21 the total out of the 72 mutual savings banks in the state now identified with SELL.

men is just as applicable to this one, and that since the present maximum work week for these employees is unusually long the reduction proposed is four hours.
 Seven: Amendment to the Labor Law to provide for an increase in the number of factory inspec- tors from "A to 49.
 ''The intent of this amendment g the statement accompanying the bill declares: ''Is to increase the number of deputies in the factory inspection department SO that the factories of this state may be in- spected periodically with a view to determining whether the factory code is lived up to properly, and, if not, re require that this be done.
 ''Increase in the production of war materials and civilian goods in recent years has made it impossible for only "A deputies adequately to cover the numerous plants in this state which use more machinery and employ more workers than ever befOre.''
 It is worse than useless" it con- tinues, ''tO enact laws safeguarding the lives and health of employees in factories if these laws are not properly enforced"
 STATE EMPLOYEES
 Eight: Amendment to the Labor Law to set the maximum work week for employees in State institutions at AS week and to provide that the prevailing rate of wages be paid to skilled employees in these institutions
 Asserting that employees in State prisons, for example, work the Tong and unreasonable" hours of 60 week on an average, the explanatory state ment declares that reasonable maximum work week is socially de sirable and holds that the State ol Connecticut should set a good ex- ample to private employers by estab- fishing the proposed maximum of 4s hours week.
 It also declares that, Tt is a fair principle that government should pay its skilled employees at the least the rate of wages prevailing in private industry. The payment of such rate of wages would attract competent skilled workers to the States institu- tionS whenever vacancies occurred" Another bill, amending the Workmen's Compensation Law which would establish Second Injury Fund, is now being drawn up by the Federation. Details will be announced in the near future Feinmark said, adding that a law simplifying wage collection claims by workers is also being drafted,

(Continued from Page One) finally defeated, especially if the war situation improves in the next few weeks.
 Meanwhile, the AFL pushed ahead with its own program for transferring needed workers from non-essential industries to war plants making critically needed supplies.
 Lewis c. Hines, in charge of this program, declared reports from the field have been "very encouraging" !" He said the War Department had submitted list of eighty-four plants urgently requiring 45O00 workers More than third of these workers, he estimated, already have been as- signed by affiliated unions and are working on the new jobs.
 President Harry Stevenson of the Molder's Union reported to Hines that two of the plants on the list had been tied up by local strikes and that he had successfully negotiated settle ments. With production resumed, Stevenson came to Washington to confer with War Department and War Labor Board officials regarding new wage regulations which are de- signed to encourage more workers to take jobs in foundries.
 President H. A. Bradley of the Chemical Workers International Union, informed Hines that he had rushed more than HOO workers into plants and laboratories desig- mated as s'critical'' by the War De- partment. He declared that the union was ready and willing to full fill all assignments of this nature.
 The Metal Polishers Union also announced clean slate on its portion of the program, having sent group of workers at the War Department request to plant at Be1leville, N. J.
 The International Association of Machinists and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers received the heaviest calls for more help and are facing the toughest job in finding workers, Hines dis closed.
 While hesitant about national serv- ice legislation, Congress jumped into action immediately on the President s request for "work-or-fght" legisla- tion affecting AZ draft registrants.
 Immediate hearings were scheduled on bill introduced by Chairman May of the House Military Affairs Com mittee requiring 4-F's to take jobs ir vital war industries or face induction into the armed forces and compulsory assignment to such jobs.
 Newspapers reported greatly in creased applications for jobs in war plants following the Presidents ap- peal. If this movement is sustained the manpower crisis may be a1leviated by mere cracking of the whip. Ob- servers in the Capital were inclined tc believe the President anticipated this effect and hoped to get results from the threat of punitive action, even il no legislation is adopted.
 1t was recalled that the President linked his national service proposal q year ago to an economic and postwar program considered un- palatable to Congressional majori- ties and the impression is that he didn't expect it to be approved. There are some members of Con- gress who don't believe he expects the bill to be adopted at this ses- sion either.
