lea, CLIO. For from the very first,
the Joint Council has refused to
compromise. Naturally, there was
a racial problem. st, Louis is
a borderline city where segrega-
ton is in order in most industries
and activities but where, unlike
the South, the colored man has
no difinite status. We firmly
believed we had to meet the
problem head on. with no
quibbling and no compromise.
We insisted on fair employment
practices in contracts and fair
handling of grievances in the
shops. The rule of "no comprom-
Use, no quibbling" has won the
day.
Our union leader reduced the
policy to simple terms when he
told shop meeting; my Presi-
dent says no discrimination is
right; my priest says no discrim-
nation is right; my union says no
discrimination is right and
what's right goes around here"
The outright colorphobists quick
ly realized that they were under

like it they were out of luck.

I recall that while taking a
special course at Columbia Uni
versity in Community Planning,
my teacher emphasized the ne
cessity of first making a dia-
grammatic chart of a contem-
plated program by setting forth
in detail it's organization, fl
nance and operation. We were
instructed that by use of this
method we would have before us
the mechanics OF our dream. My
observance of the manner in
which our present crop of Or
CARNATIONS function leads me
to believe that they have little
if any idea of how to operate,
and with none of the resources
necessary to the completion of
a successful program. This is
due largely to the group lead
FRS who know within their hearts
how unfit they are for the jobs
they have accepted. The net
result is that our numerous
helping hand societies are hit or
miss affairs that would have diff
ticulty in pointing out a single
concrete example that it has
accomplished. They will seize
upon the slightest pretext to OPP
crate as far away from Boston
as possible to prevent a close
scrutiny of their work by the
home folks. This leaves us city
dwellers hanging out on a limb
for the want of program that
will meet our needs and condi-
tons.
Surely, people here as else
where are in need of a we'll de-
fined, active program of guid-
ance and support. Our ommis-

past months in the Hamilton Pro- peller Plant in Pawcatuck, Con. necticut, another industry for New London County. This firm turns out stitchers and stapling machines, and during the war earned the Army and Navy E for their contribution to the Aircraft Industry.
 In Windham County the Ameri- can Screw Company of Providence, an old and reliable firm, has chosen site in Willimantic, where they intend to build, expand and finally move in all their Providence facili- ties. This plant assures jobs to around 1000 Eastern Connecticut skilled workers.
 In preparation for their plant ex- pansion and in order to assure housing for executives, foremen' and supervisory staffs the Ameri- can Screw Company has obtained land in North Windham to build housing project. Needless to say this and other preparatory work will give jobs to hundreds of our skilled building trades.
 The first workers of all to benefit from such expansion in any area are the building trades. In New London, William Fargo, business agent for Carpenters Local 30, is the president of our local Building Trades Council He Is a busy and energetic gentleman whose job is to see that many of our local skilled workers are put to work on local skilled job openings. In the trades other than his own he notifys the business agents of the local concerned that certain job needs 15O to 200 of his trade. For instance in the construction work that will commence within the next three months on the Pfizer Groton Plants, there will be from 375 to 800 various skilled building trades workers building the new plant buildings from the ground up. This will also hold true in the Windham County jobs.
 The scene of Labor Mana cement harmony in Eastern Connecticut at this period augers well for fu- ture negotiations between the AFL and new Connecticut industries.
