Arbitrators Give Wage Increases ToCR&LDrivers
Spread Arrangement Also Improved; Conn. Co. De-
 cision Eagerly Awaited

The $50 men on the C.R.&L. bus lines, members of the Amalgamated Association of Street Car and Motor Coach Employees (Trolley & Bus Drivers Union) won a real victory this week when the Board of Arbitra- tion handed down its award. Briefly summarized, the terms of the award are as follows:
 An increase of eight cents an hour, retroactive to April goes into effect at once. This means a top rate of $l.14. From October to January l, there will be another increase, this one four cents more, bringing the top rate to $l.l8. From January l to the end of the contract, the rate will be SIPS on 40 hours. All in all, this award amounts to 28c increase over the rate just before the war. These new rates will be based on straight work eight hours pay. In addition, under the terms of the award, the spread arrangements have been greatly im- proved.
 The Board of Arbitration consisted of Samuel F. Curry, president of the State Conference Board of the Trolley & Bus Drivers Union, and business representative of Division 281, New Haven, representing the union; Hart ley L. Swift, representing the com pany; and James Healey of Boston, formerly public member of the New England War Labor Board, who was the third man agreed upon by Curry and Swift.
 Union trolley and bus operators in the remaining parts of the state, who work for the Connecticut Com pany, are eagerly awaiting the re- suits of their arbitration case. It is understood that the arbitrators finished taking evidence on Octo- Der 4th, and are now holding meet ings attempting to arrive at a de- cision. David E.. FitzGerald, IT,, New Haven, represents the union; Joseph Berry, Hartford, the com pany; and Saul Wallen, Boston, former chairman of the New Eng land War Labor Board, is the third man.

Legion Selects Anti-Labor Man
 For Commander
Liberal Elements Throttled l; Progressive Legislation
 Rejected

SAN FRANCISCO (LPA)-The American Legion's 28th convention passed into history here last week after the Legion's ruling clique had elected a hand-picked national commander and successfully throt- tied liberal clements among the rank and file and rejected every move to place the nations largest veterans organizations squarely be- hind progressive legislation.
 The new commander, an established foe of organized labor, Paul H. Grif- filth, 49-year-old Washington, D. C.. public relations man. Griffith, a reac- tionary of the traditional Legion top drawer type, incurred the enmity of all organized labor last year by his authorship of the anti-union supersen- iority theory. He sold the idea to his then-boss, Selective Director Lewis Hershey who campaigned for the theory even though half-dozen fed eral courts, the AFL, and the Labor and Justice Departments had ex- pressed opposition to it.
 Not until it was finally thrown out by the U. s. Supreme Court did the waste of taxpayers money come to an end. Meanwhile Griffith was instrumental in getting the Legion to throw away $25, GOO in backing his notion and threatening to cam paign for Congressional legislation if the Supreme Court found super seniority invalid.
 Members of the Natl Conference of Union Labor Legionnaires, com posed of union posts within the Legion, left San Francisco muttering This is where we came in" For them it was hardly more than repeat per formance of the last convention with the Legion's bureaucracy turning down their demands for the charter ing of more union posts and rejecting their attempts to obtain Legion en- dorsement for such legislation as the Wagner-Ellender-Taft housing bill, the -Murray-Dingell national health bill and a permanent FEPC.
 Despite its repudiation by the Supreme Court, superseniority was again advocated together with conn., pulsOry military training which is opposed by all sections of organ iZed IabOr.

Policemen Certainly
 Are Patient People

Policemen are patient crew, but sometimes there comes a breaking point, and they start to think wistfu1ly about unionism. It happened in Henry etta, Okla, last week, where the en- tire police force, except the chief who is elected, went out on strike. They weren't radicals or revolutionaries, they explained automatically to the city fathers. They'd even continue to put up with the 84hour week they had to work. But somehow it just seemed to them that for that 84-hour week they maybe ought to get little more than $40 month. They req soned it wasn't worth while getting shot at, for 41c an hour.

His record in the United States Department of Labor as Special Assistant to the Secre tary of Labor shows that he has the ability and experience to under stand the problems of the working people.
 'sThis is Labor's greatest oppor N,rp1stv f0 nr0va ife uY,sfv ayJ so1; darity by getting behind Labor's own candidate.
 Be sure to vote for Joe Tone on November 5th and make sure thai all of your friends and fellow work CTS vote for him."

Hearst Locks Out
 Printing Trades

Los Angeles (LPA)-The Hearst owned Evening Herald & Express last week locked out 300 AFL print CTS, pressmen, photo-engravers, stereo- typers and mai1ers who have been drawing $13,00O a week despite the fact that the paper suspended publi- cation on Sept. 4 because of a strike of more than 500 members of the American Newspaper Gui1d-CIO.
 The Hearst action, according to Elmo Mathiesen, secretary of the local Allied Printing Trades Council, vio- lated continuous employment clause in contracts which do not expire until next month. The Hearst management disrupted negotiations with the Guild by refusing to go beyond an offer of a 121z9o hike in the face of the Guild demands for an increase of 409o and a $10O minimum for experi- enced editorial employees.

As We See It

The trouble with getting 4O,- 900, ,OOO people out to register and vote is that the working women of the country have so much more on their minds. How, we as you, can they concentrate on election issues and candidates after reading this Associated Press dispatch from Paris last week: ''DiamOnd nose rings were noted at Robert Piguet's fashion show this week. The gen. eral style of the collection was refined trend toward mOdernized l92O.''
 The last, paragraph of the story probably left millions of American women sore as hell at the time they've wasted worrying about the price of butter and meat: Especial attention was paid to black, long, straight, fret-worked pants slightly showing under the hem of a ra:hler full black skirt and hemmed with light fur-which drew little dog on a specator's lap into furious barking"
