CLU Plans
 Conference

A special meeting of the Water bury Central Labor Union to act on the recent strike against the Street Department was under con- sideration today. Timothy M. Col- lins, secretary-treasurer of Local SIT, International Brotherhood of Teamsters, said he hoped to have President Thomas P. Brennan of the c. L. U. call the meeting for to- morrow night.
 City spokesmen said that all em- ployes who asked for their jobs back have been rehired since the strike was ended Friday afternoon. They said that several have not yet asked to be taken back.
 Mir Brennan, 6 Republican mem Der of the Board of Aldermen, pro- posed Friday night that city and union representatives gather round a conference table to iron out their differences. He criticized the Board of Works for its action in declaring the strikers jobs vacant unless they reported back to work at once.
 With the city exempt from pro- visions of the Wagner Act and the State Labor Relations Act, union of- ficials do not appear optimistic over the success of any possible appeals from the ruling by the Board of Works. The union has claimed that veteran employees were threatened with loss of their pension rights if they did not quit the strike.

Seeks Funds-toAid WorVeterons

Funds raised during the annual Christmas Seal sale of the Water bury Anti.Tuberculosis will be used in part to care for tuberculous vet- erans. it was reported today by Miss Mary Hodson, campaign director for the legaue.
 Miss Hadson pointed out hat since World War I, the Government has spent more than a billion dollars in caring for tuberculous veterans of that war. During World War II, l50.00O prospective servicemen were rejected due to evidence of the dis ease, and l7,O0O who served in the armed forces were discharged be- cause of TB, she said.
 The local league will cooperate in planning care for tuberculous veterans through clinical follow-up and observation of referTals.
 The seal drive will start Nov. 25 and continue to Christmas. Head quarters for the campaign will be at the league offices at 57 North Main Street.
 Tn addition to serices to veterans, the League arranges for x-rays, con- sultations, and supervision of pos- sible cases. It also checks up on all persons here who are known to have been exposed to tuberculosis, and gives financial assistance to patients when necessary.

Leary Appeals to CIO HeQd
 PhiIip MurrGytO Start Probe

cI.o. President Philip Murray was scheduled to confer ct Atlantic City today with Jamse ]. reary, anti. Communist candidate for president of the international Union of Mine, Mil & Smelter Workers, who apparently was. de. feated by a late flood of votes for President Reid Robinson in the biennial balloting last week.
 Both Mfr. Murray and MT. Leary were due at the New Jersey resort today for meetings of the CLIO. executive board preceding the open. ing of the C.I.O. annual convention next Monday.
 Radio commentator Walter win- chell, in a broadcast last night over ABC-WATR, reported that Mir. Murray is Investigating the election. He declared that tactics used by the Robinson organization were worse than those of notorious political machines.
 Robinson Holds Lead"
 The last compilation of unofficial returns, as announced by Robinson headquarters, give the incumbent 36,5e2 votes, and MT. Leary SOLOS. The returns are subject to approval by the M.MS.W. board of can- vassers, which meets in Chicago Dec 1 to tally the results and certify the vote The board Is Robinson-con- trolied
 Early returns on the election, held last Monday, gave Mir. Leary, now secretary-treasurer of the union, huge lead in the race for the presl- dency. Later reports, announced by Robinson headquarters after Leary strongholds had all sent in their tallies, gave Robinson the lead.
 Also elected, according to the un- official results, was Maurice Tra- wis, Robinson-ticket candidate for president. The vote was an- nounced as 35,53i for Mir. Travis, and 20,2l7 for Ralph Rasmussen, candidate of the ahti- Robinson Committee for Unity and Progress.
 MankOwsh Reelected
 Board Member John Mankowski, leader of the anti-Communist bloc. easily won reelection in Dis. trict 6, which includes Connecticut He had 6 margin of better than 2 to over Joseph Scioli, of Buffalo. N. Y.
 Joseph Falcone, district chairman of the Committee for Unity and Progress, announced several days ago that contest over the election was likely. A formal statement is expected in a day or two from Joseph Madill,, national chairman of the Communist committee.
 During the election campaign, the Leary forces charged that the union president was pro-Commu- mist. They also cited a loan trans action in which President Robinson and a company official were par ties. At the unions convention in Cleveland in September. the presi- dent said he had made mistake of judgment" in the loan deal but an attempt to vote him out on this issue was beaten.
