Urge Probe Into Medical Slush
 Fund Sources
Who Puts Up Money For Drive To Kill Health
 Insurance?-Creen

A thorough-going investigation of who is putting up the money for lavish propaganda campaigns against health insurance legislation was demanded this week by Presi- dent William Green of the A. F. of l..
 Green voiced the demand while tes- tifying before the Senate Labor Com mittee in support of the bill sponsored by Senator Robert F. Wagner of New York and Congressman John Dingell of Michigan to establish a Federal system of health insurance.
 Adequate Targets
 He singled out the National Phy- sicians' Committee" the "Associa- tion of American Physicians and Sur geons, Inc.," and other fronts" for the American Medical Association, as subjects for such a probe. These groups, he said, have spent huge sums of money on false propaganda.
 ssThis committee will not have fulfilled its responsibility unless the sources of the funds for some of these organizations have been thoroughly investigated and made known to the public," Green de. clared.

 Mayor Celentano, in letter which was read to the meeting concerning the so-called "Baby-Hatch Bill", deal ing with city employees, continued:
 ssYour position that the Act operates as denial of the right of civil service employees to aspire to elective office would seem to pos sess considerable merit. COnse- quently, I would suggest that you take the proper steps to propose an amendment to the Act which would permit a civil service em- plOyee to become a candidate for an elective office.

State Labor Act Protects Against Discrimination
Worker May Not Be Penal ized In Any Way For
 Being In Union
By WILLIAM S. GORDON. JR.
 A. F. of L. Attorney

(EDToR's NorE: At OUT request, At- tor'tey Wilham s. Gordon, Jr., of Harford, Nev EngIond Resident Counsel for Joseph 4. PadzOay, Gen. erGl Counsel, American FedeyGtion of Labor, has bretved O series of fge articles om the Conmecticut Labor Re- lGhonS Act. This is tue second of the SerieS)
 In section entitled Rights of Elm ployees", the Connecticut Labor Re lations Act provides that:
 Employees shall have the right of self-organization, to form, join or assist labor organizations, to bargain collectively through repre- sentatives of their own choice and to engage in concerted activities for the purpose of collective bar gaining or other mutual aid or pro- lection Z.
 It is an unfair labor practice for an employer to do anything which re- strains, coerces or interferes with his employees in the exercise of these rights.
 Interference Barred
 The Act sets forth many of the specific activities which are forbidden to employers. But an employer may be guilty of an unfair labor practice by engaging in conduct other than that specifically forbidden if his pur- pose is to interfere with the union ac- tivities of his employees.
 The most important specific pro- hibitiOn is the prohibition of dis elimination. An employer may not discharge, layOff, transfer or de- mote an employee, or refuse to hire or promote him, or discrim- mate against him in any other way, because of his union membership or activities.
 This does not mean that once a worker joins union he IS immune from discharge or other unfavora5le employment action. It means only that his union membership or activities may not be the cause for the unfav- orable action-that he is entitled to the same treament as non-union em- ployees.
 For Instance:
 Let us suppose the following illus tration: Ten employees are caught smoking on the job, in the face of a strict company rule against smoking. Three of the ten belong to the union, and the company knows they belong. Although the cases are identical, the three union men are fired flor smok ing on the job." No action is taken against the other seven. This would clearly be discrimination in violation of the Act, and the Labor Relations Board, on so finding, would undoubt- edly order the three men reinstated with back pay. On the other hand if all ten were discharged, or equally penalized in any other way, pursuant to the policy normally followed by the Company, there would be no discrim- ination, and no unfair labor practice
 Of course all cases are not as clear as this illustration. When ever charge of discrimination is placed against company, the

Executive Body Sets Up Funds For Activities
Labor's Future Hangs On This Years Election
 Collins

Timothy M. Collins, president of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, announced at an Execu- tive Council meeting in Bridge port that he had appointed the following members of the State A. F. of L.'s Non-Partisan Po- litical Committee:
 Rowland Bishop, Metal Trades Council, New London; Thomas F. Brennan, president Central Labor Union, Waterbury; Dennis M. Car roll, Danbury Matters; Joseph P. Cleary, Bridgeport Teamsters; Ste- phen H. COlOsi of Stamford; TheO- dOre De PaOla of Meriden Auto Workers; James C. DOOIey, Hart. ford Police Union; Harold V. Fein- mark of New Haven Central Labor Council; Alexander M. Miller, New Britain Electricians; Michael Mi senti, Middletown Bricklayers, and James Novacco, Matters Union, NOrwalk.
 A resolution adopted at the Con- necticut Federation of Labor conven- ton in Waterbury instructed MT. Col lins to appoint such a committee, and authorized 1t to raise funds for its activities The Executive Council also was authorized to make an appropria- tion for non-partisan political pur- poses.
 Important Committee
 In making the announcement MT. Collins emphasized that this was a highly important committee 'Labor's future" he said, would be affected to a large degree by the results of the elections this year. We expect this committee to be aggressive, mili- tant and extremely energetic in car rying out its duties. We expect it carefully to examine the records of candidates for public office and to make them know as a guide to the voters of the state at the polls.
 I've are not interested in the political party to which candidates adhere, their race, their religion or their national origin, nor wheth- CT they are union card holders. Un- fortunately, some union men after years of political OfficehOIding have developed into tired, old men who have lost their zeal for the workers cause, and sabotage labOr's pro- gram and policies. They, of course, no longer deserve labOr's support. We should work for the election of those candidates who are prOgres- sive and who can be counted upon sincerely to back labOr's program in Washington, in Hartford and i'm the municipalities of the state.''
 The A. F. of L. leader advised party leaders and workers to ascertain whether those seeking to run for of flee had a record which could with stand labor's scrutiny. "The working people of Connecticut" he said, ''have played an important role in recent elections, and will continue to do so. Any party that nominates candidates of the type of Joseph E. Talbot who consistently kick labor in the face will discover after election it has made grave mistake"

of the word governor was an un-
fortunate one, since they believed
