Statistics Posted On Labor Tur710Uer
Restaurant Group Shows PIG Percent During 1945; Public Utilities Credited With 6 Percent; Report Analysed

Labor turnover in Connecticut during the calendar year, iSA5 ranged from 2l6 percent in the res- taurant group to percent in the local public utilities (gas, water, electricity) group. The turnover rate in manufacturing was 30 per- cent.
 Other groups with high rates of turnover were amusements, 187 per- cent trucking and warehousing, 1S7 percent; and construction, 147 per- cent. The groups withs low turn over rates, in addition to finance, were telephone and telegraph, 31 percent; insurance, 31 percent; and, in manufacturing, non-ferrus met als, 12 percent; aircraft and ship building, % percent; machinery, A percent.
 Turnover rates for all the indus try groups are shown in the &C., companying table.
 These rates represent the aggre- gate turnover for each group during 1945. They were obtained by a comparison of the number of in- dividuals employed during the year, as shown by wage items received by this department, with the peak employment during the year in any given industry group. If partic- ular industry. or employer, had 8 peak employment of 10000 during 1945 and if this agency received ex- actly 10000 wage items, each rep resenting one individual, that group would have had no labor turnover. If l5,000 wage slips were received, it would indicate that 5000 addi- tional individuals were needed by that industry to maintain peak employment of 10000 or, putting it in percentage form for comparative purposes, labor turnover of 50 percent.
 A high labor turnover is costly to an employer because of the direct and indirect training cost. A stable force, in general, results in more efficient operations for a particular employer. Several employers, con- scious of the cost of such turnover, have requested labor turnover figures for their industry from this department to use as yaydStick in evaluating their own turnover.
 It is difficult to draw any conclu- sions from the turnover rates shown in the accompanying table. AS expected, construction has a high rate of turnover, exceeded by restaurants and amusements, (ush- CTS, pinboys, etc), which are noted for their rapid change in employees. Seasonal industries also appear

Tired of Habits
BY JOSEPH NOLAN

Lexington, Mass, May 28-UP)- The nations 5O0OO,000 little men, who take 1t on the chin hardest dur ing a railroad or coal strike, have a rapidly-growing union of their own today and before long they may be picketing the picket lines.
 The new union is the work of AL len w. Fucker, a Boston business consultant who got tired hearing everybody talk about strikes, short ages and inflation-and decided to do something about them.
 By little men" he means those with as little as $l in a savings bank account, or with a $100 life insurance policy. They include white-collar workers, farmers, house wives, merchants, businessmen, Wi dows and even orphans.
 Maintain Tools
 Such persons, Rucker maintains, have just as much right to bargain as union members have, because they actually own the tools with which the miners, steel workers and railroad men earn their living. The tools have been bought-and soon must be replaced-with their sav- ings. That is the theory that gave Rucker the name for his new or ganization-Tool Owners Union.
 Purpose of the union is to restore the balance which Fucker believes should exist between tool owners and tool users.
 The unions headquarters are in :. Lexington where the 48-year-old or ganizer, a native of Bristol, Va, now makes his home.
 There the first meeting was held last week and it was so successful that another is planned soon at Washington, Pa. Applications for union charters have been received from Cleveland, Newark, N. J., Hart
