 been in charge of this work.
 Only through the help of Gov ernor Baldwin and William J. Fitz- gerald, now director of the United States Employment Service, are we beginning to clear up this matter. wish to thank Bill Fitzgerald and his subcommittee of the Veterans Reemployment and Advisory Council for their help in this mat ter and also James J. Clerkin and John O'Donnell for their splendid cooperation.
 A year ago this entire program should have been placed under the Department of Labor. The State Board of Education never should have been the approving agency for trades of an apprenticeable na- ture. A Chief of Apprentice Train ing should have been appointed over a year ago to handle this inn portant program.
 At long last we now find that the Personnel Department of the State of Connecticut will hold examina- tions for this position after pussy footing around for over a year. It is my belief that man with experi- ence and training in the Labor movement should be appointed to this job. He should be man who has served his time as an ap- .oror+;oo onI 0on UrYLa Lrp0NxYo o0, prentice. training work. We have too many trade school instructors who have never served a full apprenticeship. and that Is one of the reasons that we must guard against these educational experts trying to break down our appren- ticeship system. I also wish to thank Harry Hyman and Bill Harrison for their help and guidance in this inn portant work.

 STATE BUILDING TRADES
 The Connecticut State Building and Construction Trades Council has cooperated in every possible way with the Connecticut Fedora tion of Labor. I wish to thank James O'Kane, the hard working Secretary Treasurer, and Michael Barry. the equally able President of this organization, for their help and guidance during the past year.
 The Council has correlated wage scales in the building trades field for the State Wage Board. It has worked untiringly in trying to cor rect the Apprenticeship program mentioned in the foregoing.
 In addition to this it has formed Building Trades Councils in several areas throughout the state and in general has worked hard and long for the interests of thS Building Trades Unions.
 In my opinion every Building Trades Union should affiliate with the Connecticut Building and Con- struction Trades Council. The Con- necticut Federation of Labor cannot carry all of the burdens and mani fold problems that confront us to- day. My own Union, Local B-9O, I. B. E. w., feels that $1OO a year to cover the cost of 200 building trade buttons Is a small price to pay for the protection given to us by the State Building Trades Coun- cil. I definitely want to go on rec ord as favoring a strong, closely knit Connecticut Building Trades Council.

LABOR LEGISLATION

The coming session of the legiSla- ture will be very important one to the Connecticut Federation of Labor. We intend to exert every effort to have legislation enacted that is sorely needed by the people of Connecticut.
 Our Workmen's Compensation Law must be amended so that work CTS injured should receive at least 66%o of their wages when they are incapacitated.
 We must include bursitis as a compensable injury and at the same ] time the law must be amended to 1 include hernia.
 Permanent total injuries should be compensable for life instead of the present 1O-year limit. A de- pendent widow or mother or father likewise should be compensated for life instead of six years as the pres ent law provides.
 A Health and Welfare Fund should be established by law to take care of persons now covered by the second injury fund. It is a shame and a disgrace that our handicapped people must be forced to sign waivers in order to obtain jobs in industry. Indiscriminate use of the waiver is fundamentally wrong and should be corrected. Some interruptions insurance companies continue to stall in the settlement of compensation cases, and when this matter is called to our attention we immediately con- tact the Commissioners in their re- spective districts who have charge of the cases and it is taken care of. I wish to commend our five Worl1men's Compensation Commis- sioners for doing a good job and cooperating with Larry O'Toole and me whenever the occasion calls for it.
 APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING The apprenticeship Training pro- gram in the State of Connecticut is not functioning properly. Very un- fortunately we do not have State Law covering Apprenticeship Training. This would go long way toward correcting the many evils that have crept into our present Set-up. Brothers John O'Donnell and James Clerlxin who represent labor on the Apprenticeship Council are doing a good job under the circum- stances, but they are seriously handicapped by the lack of cooper ation given to them by the Board of Education which is the approving agency for on-the-job training pro- 1 grams that are not supposed to cov- CT apprenticeab1e trades.
 We find that up to the end of June of this year the Board of Edu- cation has approved 502 apprentice able trade programs under the on- the-job training program. This we maintain is a direct violation of the intent of the G. I. bill which is sup posed to pay veterans to learn a trade and to give them part-time training in other fields such as saIesmen, drug clerks, etc.
 We have received no cooperation from the Board of Education in re- spect to our request to clear up this bad situation. Tn the absence of | CononoisSioner 0f Education AIOnzO

JURIsDICTIONAL DISPUTES


 If ever there was anything that I dislike to discuss 1t is jurisdic- tional disputes. However, the sub ject is timely and it is necessary to call a few facts to your attention.
 The public is just about fed up with being inconvenienced by jurisdictional disputes. They are a curse upon all trade unioniSts, and in this day and age should be abolished We have enough ene- mics outside the labor movement that are trying to destroy us with out our destroying one another. We must do everything possible to get the public on our side in our fight. to improve the conditions of the working people of our state and nation, and one way of surely los- ing this support Is to hold up the building of badly-needed homes and factories by stoppages of work be- cause of jurisdictional disputes. Let us all try to work together to era- dicate this evil once and for all in the State of Connecticut.
 wish to thank everyone for the support they have given to the of- ficers of the Connecticut Federation of Labor during 1946. You may rest assured that all of you will con- tinue to receive my untiring efforts to improve the standing of the Connecticut Federation of Labor in the future.

Influenza Has
Beaten Itself
Scientist Says Disease MOI
Likely to Return in
Force of 1918.

PHILADELPHIA. -Inf1uenza is no
longer likely to return to the United
States in such lethal force as it did
in 1918 when it killed thousands of
persons, DR.. Thomas M. Rivers of
the Rockefeller Institute for Medical
Research told the fall meeting of the
National Academy of Sciences. The
disease has whipped itself, he said.
Influenza, he said, might come
back in mild and moderate" cpl
denies, but he expressed belief that
the population of the world had built
up enough resistance to result in a
truce between the virus and human
beings.
SIN World War l." he told the ap-
proximately 100 delegates from Is
nations, influenza was the major
scourge and swept the whole world,
killing many millions of people.
When World War II broke out, in
vestigators predicted that another
awful epidemic of influenza would
sweep everything before it.
Cause Is Proven.
"This did not occur, and influenza
proved to be of relatively minor i'm
portance. Between the two wars, it
was shown that influenza can be
caused by at least two agents, name
ly influenza A virus and influenza
B virus"
Admitting that vaccines obtained
from egg cultures were used to i'm
munize men and women in the
American armed forces with good
results, he said, however, that "pre-
vention of an epidemic during World
War II did not depend on their use.
Between the two world wars"
he continued" rapid transportation
of all kinds developed by leaps and
bounds, making the world one COM
munity as far as influenza is con-
cerned.
'It has been demonstrated that
the two known influenza viruses
from time to time produce mild or
moderate epidemics here and
throughout the world. In view of
this, all populations of the world are
probably thoroughly seeded with
these two viruses and something
similar to a truce has been declared
between them and human beings"
Scramble for Minerals.
An International scramble is I'M
der way for control of the worlds
mineral resources, DR.. Charles K.
nationally known University
of Wisconsin geologist, told the
meeting.
The resources include scarce ones,
such as are used in atomic bombs,
as well as more abundant ones, he
said.
The United States and Britain are
among nations endowed with good
portions of the worlds mineral re-
sources, he said, adding that some
,ther nations lacking resources were
rying to acquire stock piles.
"This is a prolific source of inter-
rational friction" DR.. Leith said.
Hope that an international agree
nent 500 will be reached, to con
erve dwindling resources, seems
o be wishful thinking" he asserted.
DR.. Harlow Shapley, acting presi-
.ent of the American Astronomical
ociety, told the meeting that Sin
irrational peace is the No. l neces-
if science is to progress I'M
ampered.
