Labor Advances
 By
 Ruth DembO

This week I attended the two- day school conducted by the Con- .necticut Citizens Political Action Committee in New Haven. The students were people from all walks of life. They came because they were seriously concerned about the peace and the new world that was coming into being. They came because they believe in the future of America that holds strong hopes for the security of all people of all races and relig- ions. They came because they wanted to take part in the build ing of that "unrisen tomorrow" that will spell an end to wars, de- struction, starvation, and unful- filled promises.
 Every kind of American was represented at the two-day school which was held ito instruct citi- zens of Connecticut in the tech nical problems of effective poli- tical action" There was an Epis- copal minister, a Negro worker, national executive of the League of Women Voters. There were lawyers. newspapermen, house wives, veterans.
 What are the goals behind po- litical action? What do those who believe in political action want? The two-day school taught us this: Those who believe in political ac- ti0n believe that every American should vote, that it is the duty of every citizen to take part in his government, that political parties should express the will of the peO- pie and not the machine bosses, that good government for all is more important than political plumS for few. And because they want to make their program for peace and security heard mem- bers of political action commit tees are ready to ring doorbells and educate the people to the meaning of political action.
 To transform the ideals of po- litical action into practice, courses on how to mobilize the people for political action and how to get them to vote and take part in the political life of their community were held. Practical people like Barney Conal, director of Voters Research; John McGuire, former Democratic party head; Charles Calkins, secretary to Brien Me Mahon; Anna Berenson, legislative director of the United Electrical Workers, gave courses in How to Organize a Citizens Committee, Building Ward Organizations, Reg istration and Get-OrI; the Vote Campaigns. Techniques of Dealing With Congress and State Legisla- lures, Mobilizing Women for Po- litical Action, and so forth.
 There was lively and spirited discussion in all the courses, real effort to get down to the funda- mentals of political know-how" so that in coming elections and in future elections the people will be able to bring forth the kind of, legislators who will go to Wash ington and Hartford and vote on the side of the people.
 The Political Action School held in New Haven was a move to strengthen democracy in Connect icut because it aimed to establish a large, enlightened electorate that will be able to take an intelligent part in government. As John Tunis, chairman of Connecticut Citizens Political Action Commit tee, and we'll known sports writer said, "All we have to offer is peo- pie. We have no money, we have no patronage, but we do have peo- ple." MT. Tunis himself devotes all his time and energy to build inc Citizens' PAC in Connecticut

100, 1000 AFL Electricians to Benefit By Terms of Pension A Agreement

mately 1000 members of the In- ternational Brotherhood of Electri- cal Workers (AFL) will benefit under the terms of an agreement signed by the union officers and officials of the National Electrical Contractors Association, comprised of more than 2,00O contractors throughout the Nation.
 The new contract, signed in the office of Labor Secretary Lewis B. SchWellenbach, embraced an em- ployees' benefit agreement provid- ing for employer contributions to an industry-wide pension fund of the union. Members of the union will contribute 60 cents month each to the pension fund and this sum will be matched dollar-for- dollar by the employers.
 This will provide retirement benefit of $50 month to members of the IBEW when they reach 65 years after 20 years of continuous membership in the union. It is the first industry wide. pension agree ment in the construction field.
 The agreement was signed for the union by International Presi- dent Ed J. Brown, International Secretary Gus Bugniazet and C. F. Preller, a member of the Interna- tional Executive Council. Sign ing for the employers were MEGA President Robert W. McChesney; E. c. Carlson, chairman of the La- bor Relations Committee, and Paul M. Geafy, executive vice presi- dent.
 Commenting on the new agree ment, the employers spokesman said:
 There is nothing mysterious about successful employer-em- ployee relations. Given any nor mai problem of adjustment, it can be solved if employers in good faith have the will to solve it in coop eration with the employees acting in good faith with the will to solve 1t. Much of the present problem of employee and employer rela- lions has been Shrouded in legali- ties and high-sounding hocus-po- GUS.
 ''The successful relations in the electrical contracting industry have been established over period of more than quarter of century. They rest upon simple formula of getting the facts, of analyzing the facts, of arriving at the nature of the problem, and then doing something about it jointly, with kindness and reasonableneSs.
 "The longtime relationships be- tween MEGA and IBEW are dedi- cated to the single proposition: Co., operation is an art not to be had merely by wishing for it. It is not a static but dynamic art and one that demands intelligence, honesty of purpose and just as constant at tention as any other department of the activities of both the union and the employers
 Discussing this statement of the contractors with reporters short time later, Secretary Schwellen- bach said.
 "This is the best and most un- derstanding statement concerning employer-employee relations that have seen since became Secretary of Labor. think any employer would do well to study it.

(without any personal rewarO be- cause he believes in the people and because Citizens PAC is one of the most effective ways to work for the people.
 What were the lessons learned at the two-day session? These if nothing else-that in an organized, enlightened electorate lies the hope for the men, women and children who never again want to face wars or poverty-that it is the duty of each and every citizen to make himself a part of that organized, enlightened electorate if democra- cy is to be strong and grow.

LYNN SAYS

Keep Them Tasty: Every home
maker who wants to be known
for her salads will plan to keep
plenty of salad ingredients on
hand. These include canned
fruits and vegetables; canned
meats such as chicken, pork and
ham loaf, faxed fish, shrimp,
salmon, crabmeat, lobster and
tuna. An assortment of cheese is
excellent, as are bottled salad
dressings.
Many green salads and dress
ings gain distinction with the ad-
dition of some herbs. Chervil,
thyme, basil and tarragon are
fine for a beginning. Use rose
mary, balm, etc., in fruit sal
ads.
If individual molds are not OBJ
tainable for the individual salads,
use muffin pans.

ing cool yourself if you learn how
to prepare dishes that don't take
heat for cookery.
