ttns, died yesterday after an illness
o1 several months.
Long an advocate of District suf-
fnge, Mr.. Carruthers said soon
alter he became president of the
federation in November, 1887, that
every community should be self
g,verning and this can be accom-
pished only through complete suf-
fMge for its citizens. He favored
representation for the District in
b,th houses of Congress, in the elec-
tsral college and a vote in the selec-
tbn of principal officials. During
his term of Office, he labeled suf-
fage the No item" on the docket.
MIR. Carruthers believed the city
manager plan would be ideal when
tie city gets" the vote Even after
hs term of Office ended in 1899 he
continued to express his views and
n.ver gave up hope that one day the
citizens here will be able to vote.
When he retired as president, he
WIS awarded The Evening Star Tro-
ply for outstanding service during
TIE preceding year.

isician of the division of statistics
urder the Census Bureau, from
Which he retired in 1888 after 38
years service, he studied financial
soups of many cities and was con-
siered an expert on municipal
finances and taxation.

inton's civic life in the late 1920s
wten he helped to form the Forest
Hills Citizens Association, of which
he was charter member. He was
a delegate to the Federation for
seRn years and in each year was
eitaer vice president of the organi-
zaton or chairman of it's Committee
ontFiScal Relations post he held

Francois Police Arrest Spaniard With AFL Funds
Gift Was Destined For Labor Families In
 Spain

NEW YORK-The Free Trade Union Committee of the Labor League for Human Rights (AFL) has requested Acting Secretary of State Dean AchesOn to intercede with Spain's government for re- lease of Rafael Robledo, member of the underground Spanish trade union movement now awaiting ''trial'' before a military tribunal, l, it was announced by AFL Vice President Matthew WOll.
 Rob1edo was apprehended by Span ish authorities after he had entered Spain with funds donated by AFL members for relief of families of union members in that country. He is ac- cused of bringing money from Rus sia for underground Communist prop aganda, MT. Woll said.
 Charges Frame-Up
 MT. Wolfs letter to MT. Achesor accused the Franco government of per petrating frame-up against Robledo by charging him with possession of Russian money.
 ''The $1, ,25O taken from him by Spanish police are dollars given voluntarily and gladly by American labor in a spirit of humanitarian ism, with a desire to help their suffering friends in Spain. Such money has nothing to do with com munism, with Russia, or with the struggle between any political par ties," the letter declares.
 "The Free Trade Union Committee would send funds into Spain openly if Francois Fa1angist authorities would be ready to accord normal rights and liberties as prevail in all democratic civilized countries" said Mr. Wo1l
 Demands Release
 He urged Acting Secretary of State Acheson to place the facts concerning Rob1edo before the authorities in Ma drid, and to request the immediate release of the Spanish unionist.

Unprecedented Benefit Program Signed By AFL
NY. Painters Win Elm ployer-Provided Sick,
 Death Provisions

NEW YORK-(FP)-Ten thous- and painters in New York City will get employer-provided sick and death benefits after May l under a Sway agreement, unprecedented in the building trades, signed at a public ceremony in City Hall pre- sided over by Mayor William O'Dwyer.
 The agreement was signed by Sec.- Treas. Louis Weinstock of Dist. Council 9, Bro. of Painters (AFL), Pres. J. w. Fucker of the Assn. of Master Painters & Decorators and Vice Pres. Edmund B. Whitaker of Prudential Life Insurance Co.
 Employers Pay 3%
 The workers and their families will receive life insurance, sickness and ac- cident benefits, surgical care and hos pitalization out of a welfare fund paid for by the employers, who will con- tribute 3o of their weekly payrolls.
 A joint union-management state ment said the pact constitutes "a mile stone in the history of organized la Dor in America. For they are the first agreements in the building trades in dustries in this country which, by means of employer contributions, pro vide the workers with insurance in case of illness or death. As such, they will add immeasurably to the secur- ity and wellbeing of the workers in our industry. It is our hope that other building trades may find it possible to extend these benefits to the work erS."

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

THE s'Hartigan case" clearly demonstrates that it is time the city of New Haven set up real stand ards, and had each city employee do what he is hired to do. As the Building Trades and Central Labor Councils have pointed out, firemen are hired to protect the city from fire hazards, not to do paint jobs!
 CONN. Council No. 16, Ameri- can Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, is doing an outstanding job in protecting the interests of all state employees at the special session of the General Assembly. Organized labor has the ''knOw hOw' when it comes to leg islation, and bases its case on facts and figures, not on emotion. The legislative drive is being sparked for the state employees by Pres. George W. Thorpe and Special Representative Harry Feinmark.
 STATE TROLLEY AND BUS DRIVERS UNION still negotiating with Connecticut Co. on new con- tract. The membership has voted practically unanimously for a strike if new contract cannot be agreed upon. The union seeks to have included in the contract a pension plan also wage increase from $1.O6 per hour for a 47-hour week to SIPS per hour for 4O- hour week; Is days sick leave, six paid holidays and injury benefits not provided by government cOm- pensation.
 FIVE YEARS AGO IN The Un- ion Times: SEN. ROURKE advO- cates better pay for our policemen, firemen, and other city employ ees; AFL PRESIDENT Vim. Green tells House Judiciary Committee Anti-Strike Laws are Un-American ; The New Haven Water Company paid out nearly $1O,OOO,OOO in dividends from 1926 to l94O; UNION memberships reach new all time high of 1O,5OO,OOO, doubling the peak reached after World War I; NATIONS top producers of food, clothing and household fur nishings gather as steadily mount ing prices of consumer goods wOr- ries administration.

Political Climate
 VeryUnfavorable ForReactionariies
L.abor's Drive To Dust Tor. ies I'm South Off To
 Fine Start

Labor's drive to change the pO- Iitical climate of the south got off to a good start in the Florida and Alabama primaries where large vote swept liberal candidates into the congressional seats of, diehard reactionaries. As a result of the recent U. s. Supreme court ruling, Negroes voted for the first time in these southern Democratic prima- ries,i which are tantamount to final election because of l-party rule.
 In Florida former Gov. Spessard L.. Holland, backed by Sen. Claude Pep per and labor, was nominated for the Senate in a landslide victory over three opponents. He will take the seat of Sen. Charles O. Andrews, who is retiring at the end of his term.
 Vet Gusts Tory
 Rep. Pat Cannon of Miami who was right on only one out of 10 votes on labor's yardstick and was absent on IS key votes-was swept out i'll an avalanche of votes for labor backed George Smather, a former marine. Thirty-two thousand Negroes voted in the Florida primaries.
 / In Alabama former Rep. Joe Starnes, one-time star of the Dies : Committee swept out by united labor drive in 1914, didn't get to first base in his attempt to make a comeback. PAC-backed Rep.

Substitute Health
 Bill Hit By Green

WASHINGTON (FP) = AFL Pres. William Green has denounced a Republican opposition substitute to the national health bill as "a 1946 model poor law extending the per nicious and out-moded method of re- lief to the field of providing medical care to the indigent"
 The substitute, introduced by Sens. Robert A. Taft (R. O., H. Alexander Smith (R, N.J.), and Joseph Ball (R, Minn.), is de- signed to fOrestall passage of the Wagner-Murray-DingelI health bill now under discussion by the Sem ate labor committee.
 'The working people of America will not accept the Smith Ball Taft substitute for health insurance" said Green. "They will reject this propo- sal because they want health insur- ance on a se1f-sustaining basis-not charity and the dole"

.ActualProcedure Of States s Labor
 Board Described
Final Article Lists Steps To Be Taken By Union
 Representatives
By WILLIAM s. GORDON, JR.
 A. F. of l.. Attorney

(ED1ToR's NOTE: This is the last Of c series of fVe articles on the Con- necticnt Labor Relations Act pre- pared at our request by Attorney William s. Gordon, Jr., of Hartford, Nez0 EngIand Resident Counsel for Joseph 4. Pada0ay, General Counsel, American Federation Of Laboy.)
 In the preceding articles we have covered the determination of repre- sentation questions by the State La bOr Relations Board, and also un- fair labor practices of employers in discriminating against union members, forming company un- ions, and refusing to bargain with the majority representatives.
 As we have pointed out, any action by an employer which interferes with his employee in the exercise of their rights to organize and bargain col lectively is an unfair labor practice. Thus, in addition to the practices de- scribed, an employer may not spy upon his workers or their union rep resentatives. He may not. employ la bor spies or provocateurs. He may not prepare, maintain or circulate blacklists of workers who belong to or are active in behalf of labor organ izations. He may not intimidate or threaten his workers with regard to their union membership or activities
 Similarly an employer may not dis courage union membership by con sistently acting favorably on griev- ances when presented by individuals and refusing favorable action on like grievances when presented through the union.
 No Minority Groups
 It should be remembered that indi- vidual employees do have the right under the Act to present grievances directly even where union has been certified as the exclusive representa- tive of all the employees. But this can not be construed to permit employers to recognize or bargain with minor ity groups. The majority union may, furthermore, demand to be brought in to any discussions on wages, hours or working conditions arising out of grievances presented by individuals when the results of such discussions might affect the interests of the work CTS as whole.
 Procedure Before Board
 To obtain the greatest benefits from the machinery of the Act, it is impor- tant that representatives of labor or ganizations be familiar with the pro cedure under it.
 The Board itself is composed of three members, chaired by Professor Ashbe1 c. Gulliver of the Yale Law School Senator Vincent P. Kierhan and Representative Peter A. Mo Manus, chairmen, respectively, of the State Senate and House Labor Com mittees, are the other two members. The Board members conduct hearings and decide the cases when they have reached the formal stage.
 All of the preliminary work, how ever, including the investigation, holding of initial conferences, and obtaining, where possible, com- pliance with the Act without formal proceedings, is conducted by the Boards agent, John A. Caspic. MT.
