cry schools close in 10 days, the
public schools will get about COZ
children's cots, 100 chairs and 2s
tables bought for the centers by the
Federal Works Agency, it was dis
closed yesterday.
Miss Katharine Doonan, admini-
srator, said the FWA had ruled the
equipment would become the prop
erty of the schools. Elementary
school principals already have ap-
piled to her for use of the cots and
chairs in their restrooms and kin
dergartens, Miss Doonan said. She
estimated it will take her only two
weeks after the centers close Febru-
ary % to distribute all the equip
meRt.
The FWA ruled the cots should
continue to be used by nursery
school children if the District
planned to continue its public CEN
ters, Miss Doonan said. But the
Commissioners have refused to act
on the Board Of Education's request
for a $4,000 deficiency appropria-
ton to run the centers through
June, she pointed out.

Grated after February 28 by groups

soring the parents activities as "co-

The administrator estimated that

Union

Continued from Page 1) ing to deal with the union because no progress toward signing a con- tract has been made in over year.
 MT. Carr went on:
 'T'he I,UMM S5S. w. was certi- fled in November, 1914, as the sole collective bargaining agency of the maintenance and production em- ployes at it's Waterbury plant The union started to negotiate a con- tract for Waterbury, then stopped negotiating
 For more than year no action was taken by the union to negotiate for the Waterbury plant. The last time the company and the union discussed the contract was in Feb ruary, 1946
 The company is of the firm be- lief that the union does not at this time represent a majority of it's employees. and, based upon the law, refused to bargain further with the union.
 MT. Vaccaro issued the following statement for the union
 Despite all the Risdon Com pany's efforts to break the strike before it started, the C.I.O. Union demonstrated this morning that the majority of Risdon employees in Waterbury want to be represented by the Union.
 Less than 20 workers were high pressured into going through the picket-lineS established by the Union membership, early today, even though top management peo- pie stood on the picket line beckon- Ing the workers to come in. Led by Superintendent J. J. Carr, the Ris- oon management got good chance thls morning to see that the Union represented a solid majority.
 Those few employees who did violate the picket lines were main " women, and mainly -produc- ton workers. We have assurances rom the Truck Drivers Union. A A.FL.' that their members will not attempt to deliver or pick up as long as we have a picket line at the Rlsdon plant. All production Will be at a standstiu very shortly.
 The Union hopes that the man. agement will now resume collective bargaining to settle the dispute 4AeFe IS Stlll time to settle the dis Pate on lair terms without the bit YelneSs which results from an ex- tended strike.
 The issues are few, and the unions position is reasonable. Here are the main Union demands:
 l. Recognize the Union as
 bargaining agency for the em-
 ployes.
 2. Agree to raise Risdon
 wages as high as other shops in
 the Waterbury area, doing sinot-
 lar work
 5. Grant good union se-

 9. Agree to settle all disputes
