Building Trades
 In New York Win .6Paid Holidays
Favorable Decision By Wage Adjustment Board Ends
 Strike Plan

An early start in proposed build ing operations in New York is ex- pected, now that the Building and Construction Trades Council has dropped its plans for a strike fol- lowing decision by the Wage Ad- justment Board of the Dept. of Labor awarding six paid holidays an nually to the councils 30 affiliated AFL unions. The clause has been agreed upon by the unions and the Building Trades Employers Assn.
 The board, however, pared down slightly a Is per cent wage in- crease. The settlement of the holi- day question, union officials said, was just as important as the wage demands.
 Also included in the pact were pro- visions for a seven-hour day within the industry and a plan setting up arbitration machinery.
 The unions decision is expected to enable contractors to obtain a clear cut picture of labor costs, thereby guiding them in bids. It was esti- mated that construction costs would rise between 71a and 8 per cent However, it was pointed out, cost of materials is still unknown because of unsettled conditions in that market.

 ''MORE THAN WE GAN PAY''
 Because of these concentrated efforts, Secretary-Treasurer Fein- mark collapsed on the job, and has not yet fully recovered his health. We owe him more than we can ever repay. Moreover, we realize that he is retiring from office without hav- ing had a real vacation.
 'BE TT THEREFORE RE- SOLVED, That we, in convention assembled, as a slight token of our esteem, do hereby vote to Secre- tary-Treasurer Feinmark gift of two months salary, based on the salary to be decided upon by this convention for the Secretary-Treas- urer's office. We wish Brother Feinmark and his family the best of health and fortune. We know that he will always be on the side of the working man."
 Further evidence of labor'S appre citation of Feinmark's contributions came at the annual banquet, held Thursday night at the Hotel Elton. John Doyle, president of Police De partment Local No. 530, New Haven, speaking in behalf of the American Federation of State, County, and Mu nicipal Employees, and the Fire Fight CTS unions of the state, presented Feinmark was a beautiful desk pen set. In his presentation, Doyle said:
 DOYLE'S PRESENTATION !. Secretary Feinmark has taught me, by his example, some of the finer principles of unionism. His loyalty to the cause of decent liv- ing standards; his devotion to la- bor principles on a nOn-partisan basis; his assistance in speaking for Organizational work in our be- half; his aid and counsel in mat ters of decision and policy; his tre- mendous importance in Hartford as Legislative Agent procuring for us favorable legislation; all these have endeared him to our mem bers.
 The final action of the four-day convention was the unanimous adoption of motion, presented by Samuel F. Curry, New Haven, Trol- leymen which again thanked Feinmark for his services, and ex- pressed the convention's confidence in him.

STOP MAKING ATOM BOMBS

New York (LPA)-"Act at once" President Truman was urged by the Post War World Council here last week, ito stop the further manufac- ture of atomic bombs and further ex- periments with them" Believing that such development of the destructive instead of the constructive forces in atom-smashing invites universal sus- picion', the Council stated at its an- nual meeting that continuation of bomb making would indicate interna- tional Hack of good faith"

 We want to thank the supreme body of the convention for passing unanimously all our resolutions presented to the Federation by the State, County and Municipal Elm pIOyees and we feel and know, that in the year to come, our Organiza- ton will grow, due to the fact that we are receiving such fine help and support in the Connecticut Fedora ton of Labor.
 1 also want to express my thanks and appreciation for all that was done at the convention, and to offer the facilities of our office in Hartford to help any movement which will be of help to the Federation or to any local affiliated with the Federation in the State of Connecticut
 LA CHAPELLE ELECTION
 In addition, I would like to say that the man who the convention. has elected to the executive office of Vice President of the Federation of Labor, George LaChapel1e of Norwich, Lo- cal 865, has been an active member, in recent years, of the American Fed eration of Labor and has been out standing in the field of organization work in the Norwich area. He has been instrumental in helping to form one of the biggest Locals of State, County and Municipal Employees. He is also president of Local 865 and member of the Central Labor Union in Norwich and I am sure that he will endeavor to work for the gen. eral movement of labor in the State of Connecticut.

 We also feel that our apprecia- ton should be shown to The Un- ion Times, which has been an inc strumental organ to the State Elm ployees in bringing forward to the public the great movement which they are undertaking and which they have succeeded SO we'll in the past year to gain both recognition and strength in the State of Con- necticut.

 x Heading the WSB is W. Willard Wirtz, Washington lawyer and former general counsel of the WLB. Vice chairman is Sylvester Garrett, former chairman of the re- gional WLB at Philadelphia.
 Labor members are Carl J. Shipley, international representative of the CIO, and AFL Int. Rep. Robert ]. Watt. Both served as labor members of the WLB.
 Representing industry on the new WSB are R. Randall Irwin and Earl Cannon. Irwin is an official of the Lockheed Aircraft Corp, Burbank, Calif., and Cannon is vice-president of the American Trucking Assn, Madi- son, Wis. Both were industry mem bers of the WLB.
 The board will deal with appli- cations for wage increases based on three principal conditions laid down by President Truman:
 l. Increases to compensate for the rise in the cost of living in cases where straight-time hourly earnings are less than 33% more than they were in 1941.
 2. Increases to correct pay inequities among plants.
 5. Increases necessary to ease man. power shortages interfering with re- conversion.

C M Fact t-Finders Set Pace For All

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12-The Little Steel Formula of war days which limited wage rate increases to Is per cent has, in effect, been re- placed by a new formula that puts the ceiling for new wage increases at approximately IS per cent.
 Unofficial
 This new formula is unofficial, since the Governments post-V-J Day wage-price policy has been to let em- ployers go as high as they like in wage boosts provided they don't re- quire higher OPA ceiling prices.
 But with more than 100000 unemployed in the country, there has been no inclination on the part of most employers to establish any new wage records; in fact, unions have found tbat most of them don t want to go up at all.
 That's why the Government is back in the picture again. The collective bargaining that President Truman had counted on when he announced the Governments new wage policy didn't work. So it set up fact-hnding panels to handle some of the hot contests, and intervened otherwise in some ot the others.
 Identical Solution
 Working independently, the pan els and Government stabilization oftl- cials are coming up with solutions in all of the major wage disputes that amount to an increase of about IS per cent.
 That figure was not pulled out of hat. 1t was the level at which Sinclair Oil Co.,, settled with the Oil Workers Union. Since then two other companies have signed up for the same amount. The oil panels decision is due any day now, and it would surprise observ- CTS here if its wage recommends tion missed l8 per cent by more than a hair.
 The first of the panels to report, GM, recommended wage hike of 1o1z cents an hour, which figures out at 17.4 per cent
 No Price Rise
 The panel had its own good reasons for arriving at that figure, but it so happened that 1t was almost the same as the Sinclair settlement, and neither of the two involved a rise in prices.
 In the steel and packinghouse cases, the assumption is that Ad- ministratiOn stabilization officials have concluded that the profit mar gins of those industries do not per- init adequate wage increases with out price increases.
 Accordingly, they have reportedly agreed on a $4-a-ton boost in the price of steel and 30 cents per hundred weight more for beef.
 $2 vs. $l.6O
 OPA Chief Chester Bowles has contended that $250 steel price rise would be adequate, when combined with savings from overtime, to .per- init an IS per cent wage increase While the United Steel Workers is not talking in percentages, but in terms of $2 day, Is per cent figures out at around $1.56, or just 4 cents short of the amount believed accepta- ble to the union
 The United Electrical Workers, representing more than 200, 1000 workers in General Electric, Vest inghouse and General Motors, are also asking $2. If the Steel Work CTS settle for $l.6O, the Electrical Workers probably would do the same.
