Bishop In AppeoIFor Chest Funds
 Letter Reod in
 All Catholic
 Churches Sunday
PAGE FOUR

Red Feather Sunday was marked yesterday by announcements from the pulpits of all churches on be- helf of the Community Chest cam- paign which opens this evening,
 A letter from the Most Rev. Henry J. O'Brien, Bishop of Hartford, was read at all Masses in Catholic Churches. The letter stated:
 The Annual Community Chest Drive will open on October 14th. This united appeal of the agencies affil- lated with the Chest is deserving of a generous response from evefy cit- izen who is conscious of his respon- sibility in all that concerns the well fare of his fellow citizens.
 The services of these organizations have become well-nigh indispens- able to the well-being of our present day urban communities, with their tremendous and varied popuations. Old problems persist, new problems arise. Juvenile delinquency is in- creasing. Many homes, disturbed by the circumstances of wartime living, need care and attention that peace and tranquility may be restored to them. A lack of housing has brought new ills. Numbers of children are ever in want of care and protection.
 "An adequate approach to a solu- tion of these manifold and many sided problems of modern life can be found only in the organized eff forts of all citizens working together through a trained personnel The Community Chest is an admirable effrot in this direction. It is the ex- precision of the willingness of all cit izens to make life happier for many and to ensure the peace of the entire community.
 T am confident that our Catholic people, especially, will not fail to do their share in bringing the Drive to 8 successful conclusion. They know that our Catholic charitable institutions receive a generous al- lotment from the Chest, enabling them to perform their work of Chris tian charity more efficiently and more adequately. Thus will they full fill the precept of Our Divine Lord that we love one another, that we love our neighbor as ourselves for the love of God, that bring aid and comfort to them who are in need Then, too, shall they merit the blessing of God, Who has promised that not even 8 cup of water given in His name will go unrewarded."

 The Board of Works members are said to be willing to discuss the issues with union representatives but it has not yet been determined as to what authority they may have to grant any of the demands con- corning wages or bargaining priv ileges.
 MT. Collins will be the sole rep resentative of the union at the meeting. Board members are Chair man John Savino, William Carpen- ter, Joseph Wilhelm, Fenton Niver, Martin J. Tehan and John B. Phe- Ian.
 Final approval for any wage in creases, according to Charter, must come from the Finance Board and the Board of Aldermen following approval by the Board of Works.
 The Charter does not provide for recognition of any union as a bar gaining agent, by any board or any one person. Providing improved san itary conditions and masks for en- ployes can probably be passed upon by the board.
 Calls For Ordinance Action
 In his letter MT. Collins urged the adoption of city ordinance providing for recognition of city employees to organize and the crea- tion of grievance procedure.
 "This would prevent strikes and work stoppages by municipal em- ployeS," MT. Collins said.
 Granting of the 101z cents an hour increase would be the fourth granted the employees since 1943, it was pointed out today. The city granted $500 cost-of living bonus to all employees in 1943 which last year was made permanent part of their salaries. In 1945 8 5 cents an hour increase was granted Street Department employees and an addi- tional cents an hour increase was given week ago. The total in- crease, if the new demand is grant, ed, will equal 351s cents an hour.
 The city is also preparing budget ary provisions for an increase for all city employees in its 1947 budget, which comes up for consideration this week by the Board of Finance. This is an additional living cost increase and includes the workers in this department.
