Strike Tying Up
53Cafeterias
Seen January |
Union and Company
DeudIocked Over
Demand for Ruise

Hopes for preventing a complete
shutdown on January / of the SO
cafeterias in Federal buildings oper-
ated by Government Services, Inc,
diminished today as union and
company officials stood firm on the
wage and welfare demands of 5000
cafeteria workers.
The threatened strike would shut
tight the cafeterias which serve
nearly 100000 Government workers
daily.
GSI spokesmen said their 6-cents-
an-hour wage increase offer was
their final one"
I'VE definitely cannot afford
penny more" GSI officials declared.
Officials of the United Cafeteria
and Restaurant Workers, Local All,
have indicated their dissatisfaction
with the non-profit corporations
final offer" but will submit the
offer to their membership at
meeting tomorrow night.
Union leaders said they expected
the company's proposal will be re-
jected by the membership.
GSI officials asserted they have
already increased wages 66 per cent
over the 1941 wage scale and that
their proffered 6-cents-an-hour
raise would bring it up to 80 per
cent. The firm already has lost
$500 900 this year and cannot grant
the unions 20-cents -an-hour wage
demands. the officials added.
They also pointed out that the
escalator clause In their contract
was 8 cents an hour per S per cent
increase in the cost of living index
not per cent as previously re-
ported. The escalator clause, they
said, would work both ways, that is
the wage rate would go down with
each 5 per cent drop in the cost Of
living index.
Union officials dispute this. as
serting the company can afford to
grant substantial wage increases.
They also contend the average
''take-home" pay of cafeteria work.
ers is $40 a week and that this "is
not nearly enough" to live on at
the current level of prices.

London, Aug. - (UP) - The freighter American Farmer was scheduled to arrive in England to- day and the Ministry of Transport said the United States Lines had agreed on the salvage reward for the ship and her cargo of wheat.
 The British Treasury solicitor filed a salvage claim with the U. S. Lines, owners of the Farmer, but said the action was legal formal ity, implying that an amicable agreement had been reached. The British freighter Elizabete, which first placed a towline on the crip- pied ship, is owned bN the trans port ministry and opera ted by the Hudson Steamship Company, Ltd.
 A salvage crew from the Farmers sister ship the American Ranger, took over the Farmer from the Brit ish crew and headed her for Eng land under her own power.

No Meat Condemned InCity

No cases of meat spoilage result ing from heavy shipments into the state have been discovered in Wa terbury, Health Officer Dr. Edward J. Godfrey said today. Large amounts have been condemned at New Haven and Bridgeport, Com missioner Carl M. Sharpe of the State Dairy and Food Commission reported.
 State inspectors during the past week have condemned 7,753 pounds of meat and ordered another 22,750 pounds trimmed.
 MT. Sharpe said that the spoilage apparently resulted from the fail ure to refrigerate the freight cars in which the meat was shipped to this state from the West.
 With a large supply of meat on hand in Waterbury, retailers report that shoppers have become much more discriminating in their pur- chases. High prices on some items are meeting with strong consumer resistance.

Your Gl Rights
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington. Aug. -tNEA)- Here are some questions from vet erans and their relatives regarding overseas burial of slain servicemen and other problems:
 Q-My sons widow recently re- married. Before she did. we had discussed great deal the ques- ton of what to do with my sons remains. He was killed overseas. His widow claimed that she had the right to decide. Our opinions as to what should be done diff fered sharply. Now that she has remarked, does she still have the right to decide? There were no children, and my wife and are his only other living relatives.
 A-When your sons widow re- married, she lost the right to de- eide what should be done with the remains. That right is now exclu- sively yours.
 Q-My wife and I have talked the matter over, and we think our sons remains should be left in the cemetery in which he was buried overseas. Can this be done, or are the remains of all war-dead being brought back for reburial in the U. S.?
 A-You can have your sons re- mains left overseas, if that is what you wish.
 Q-My son is planning on going to college this fall He is vet eran. but he doesn't want to uti- lize the education benefits of the GI Bill of Rights until his last two years. Can he wait until his junior year without jeopardizing his rights?
 A-Yes.
 Q-Are women who were in the service eligible for the terminal pay bonds Congress has approved for enlisted men?
 A-Yes.
 Q-Is it true that the burial al- lowance for veterans has been in- creased? If so. how much of an increase has been provided?
 At has been increased by 50 percent, from S100 to $50.
 Q-Is it true that the State De- partment is giving jobs overseas to

Ramos Plans To Appeal
 Auto Fire

A fine of $6 was imposed against Manuel Lopes Ramos. 23, of 8 Pond Street, Naugatuck, when he was found guilty of charge of violation of the rules of the road following trial before Judge John L. Gaffney in City Court today. The accused, owner of the Continental Iron Works in Naugatuck, pleaded not guilty to the charge. A motion for an appeal was entered.
 Motor Patrolman Anthony Lom- bardo who investigated with Motor Patrolman John Walsh. said the &C., cused was involved in a minor col- llsion at Jackson and Bank Streets July '. Driver of the other car, po- lice said, was William E. Voide Of Riverside Street, Oakville.
 Ordered by the Superior Court in November of last year to pay $25 for the support of his wife and two chil- dren following his divorce at that time, Louis Dimeo of Springfield, Mass, heard the order repeated to- day in City Court where he was ar- ralgned on non-support charge.
 Prosecutor Stepnen Homick said a warrant has been awaiting the ac- cused for quite some time" but that he was out of town and unable to be found. The prosecutor recom- mended a $500 bond or an alternate 60-day jail sentence be invoked to insure that the accused will pay the $2o per week as ordered by the Court"
 The accused who has married since his divorce, requested that the court lower the Superior Court pay ment order. His request was refused after Prosecutor Homick said the higher court order should be upheld, and Dimeo should rather seek the reduction in the Superior Court.
 A $500 bond, called last week when Dimeo failed to appear. was today reinstated.
 The following three cases were continued to August 21: Charles Butcher, "A, of g Berkeley Court non-support; John Lukasewski, 30 of 19 Willard Street, non- support and in tonxication, and Thomas J Ford, 23, of 89 Abbott Avenue, fail- ure to keep proper lookout.
