IS Rail Unions Offer Bold, New Program
Report Designed To Im- prove Labor In All F orms
 Of Transportation

WASHINGTON (LPA)-Eighteen of the nations railway unions, in- cluding many in the AFL, have pulp lished an exhaustive report on Labor and Transportation'' in the postwar period, in which they pre- sented far-reaching program to improve the lot of labor in all forms of transportation.
 The report, 52-page printed docu- ment-the result of an extended study prepared by the postwar plan ming committee of the Railway Labor Executives Association, with which the heads of the IS unions, represent ing 100000 railworkers, are affili- ated.
 COMMITTEE
 Members of the committee are Presidents George M. Harrison of the Railway Clerks, Harry w. Fraser of the Railway Conductors, E. E. Milliman of the Maintenance of Way Employees, Harvey w. Brown of the Machinists-and A. E. Lyon, execu- tive secretary of the association.
 Highlights of the program are Wage increases to bring pay rates in transportation up to the levels of the postpaid industries 2-Complete unionization of the entire transportation field; g. Better public relations so that trans port labor's side during disputes with management gets out to the public; 4LExtensiOn to transpor- tation of all Federal wage, hour, safety and accident compensation legislation which does not now cover the transport industries; S. Republication of employment to

care, life insurance, and other bene- fits, to be furnished at industry's ex- pense, but under joint union-manage- ment administration.
 Many other proposals are inc cluded in the report, which stresses that if such a program were put into effect the transportation indus tries would have better satisfied. more efficient body of Iabor-and that the carriers and the public benefit along with the workers.

VETERANS

VETERANS
 The number of veterans out of work dropped to 6,700 from 10,800 in October and 22,200 in September. Considering that more than 100000 veterans have been discharged in Connecticut, the number of unem- p1oyed is exceedingly small. Of the 6,700 unemployed veterans, more than two-thirds have been out of work for less than ten weeks.
 VOLUNTARY QUITS
 What little unemployment there is in the state is due primarily to labor turnover rather than layoffs. Many individuals, after having taken a job, and finding it not to their liking as to pay, advancement, type of work, or for other reasons, are leaving and seeking other work. They are usually successful in obtaining other jobs but, during the intervening period, they are added to the rolls of the unemplOy- ed. Nearly 75 per cent of all sep arations during November were voluntary quits. There were some layoffs in the state, however, due to lack of materials particularly in the textile and apparel plants, but these were mainly of short dura- ton.
 Average weekly earnings of pro- duction workers in manufacturing in creased to $4o.30, a peacetime high, while average hourly earnings rose to $1.16 an hour, an all-time high Aver age hours worked per week remained the same as in the preceding month, 42.4.
 The labor dispute situation re- mained excellent during the month. Although several disputes continued to smolder, the loss of production or idleness resulting therefrOm was negligible.

Rourke Favors Open Door To Immigration
GEL. Secretary Says We Should Utilize Unified
 Wartime Quotas

Early admission of a fair share of tlle 850,000 European displaced per sons to this country is advocated by Joseph M. Rourke, secretary-treasur- CT of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, in a statement in which he ex- pressed the belief that through effec- tive screening by the State Depart ment the Department of Justice and the Army there was assurance that only desirable persons favorable to the American form of government would be permitted to enter.
 ssAs an immediate step to relieve the plight of some of the 65O,OOO Christians and the 100000 Jews who are still confined in displaced persons camps abroad, we should utilize the unified wartime immi- grafton quotas," Rourke proposed. eve should do this as matter of simple humanity and set an exam pie to other countries which un- doubtedly would follow our lead" he added.
 
 Contending that during the war pc riod only per cent of the quota of immigrants provided by law were able to reach the United States the C. F. of L. leader held that Eve could easily absorb thousands of hardy Europeans who managed to survive the Hitler terror"
 Some recent immigrants, MT. Rourke declared, had introduced new technical skills and products which had provided jobs for many American workers. He also main tained that there was practically no danger of new arrivals becoming public charges since their financial security must be guaranteed by American friends or relatives.
 Senators and Congressmen of both parties Rourke said, have indicated their support of the A. F. of L.'s pro posal for the immediate entry of dis placed persons and quoted from tele- grams received by the Jewish Labor Committee in response to request for their opinion of a resolution to this effect unanimously adopted by the A. F. of L. in convention at Chicago.

Says Guaranteed Annual Wage Now Quite Practicable
(Continued from Page One)


 reserves to finance such arrangement
 Latimer would also have Federal income tax laws modified to per- init employers to charge off the cost of wage guarantee plans as an 'al- lOwable expense of doing business" " subject to standards laid down by the government to prevent abuse. That would be nothing revolution ary, he stressed, since the laws now permit employers to write off as an expense the money they pay for en- ploye pensions, stock bonus and profit sharing arrangements. There would not be much loss, if any, to the gov ernment in tax revenue, since the em- ployes who receive the guaranteed wages would then enrich the Treas ury by paying higher personal in come taxes.
 Finally, Latimer would amend a provision of the Wage-Hour Act which grants limited relief on over time payments to employers who, by agreement with unions, guarantee 50 weeks of work at 40 hours a week. The provision is now mot flexible enough" ;" but if properly revised could also be used to encourage guaranteed wage plans, Latimer explained.
 All in all, he added, if an-
 nual wage plans could be ex-
 tended throughout the eco-
 homie system, the nation
 would go far toward overcom-
 ing ''the enormous cost of idle
 men and machines" such as
 the nation suffered during the
 last depression.

Lack Of Materials Limits Activity

The general labor situation III Connecticut continued excel lent in November. Employment continued to increase to new peacetime highs and is now above the level of some of the war periods. Average hourly earnings increased to new all- time high while average weekly earnings increased to new peacetime high. Unemployment dropped to its lowest level since the end of the war.
 The prospects for all these factors continuing as good or improving during the next few months appeared excel lent but until the duration or effect of the coal strike is de- termined, the entire industrial picture in the future is out of focus.
 CONSTRUCTION
 Construction activity continued brisk with over 25,OOO workers employed on various construction projects in the state. This total is the highest of any period, at least since the l92O's, except during the summers of l94I and l042 when construction of war plants was booming. It appears that further construction activity is being held back principally by a lack of materials, rather than a lack of labor.
 Construction labor appears adequate in most parts of the state, although a lack of certain types of skilled labor m a few areas has been reported. Be- cause of the coming winter weather, construction activity is expected to contract in the next few months but, with increasing supplies of building materials being produced, a real boom in building may be underway next spring.
 Unemployment in the state contin- ued to drop rapidly and, in mid-No- vember, stood at 21,700 as compared with 25,100 in October and Al 500 in September. Factors causing this de- cline were the seasonal rise in trade employment and an increase in fac tory workers.

 a bilious attitude. Such people usually go about not only look ing disagreeable but acting the part. And a disgruntled atti- tude is as contagious as a hap py one.
 This type is usually the sort that can never listen to anyone elses opinion gracefully. They know everything, have been everywhere and have seen everything! They likewise have a natural inclination to argue and criticize to excess. It never occurs to them that the only man in the world who actually won an argument was that man who had enough wisdom to avoid one in the first instance. Such people would rather go down screaming that they had the right of way, than grace fully withdraw and be able to contribute tomorrow on the basis of the wisdom developed.

STATE DP.W. STARTS
 IN TRAINING PROGRAM

Bridgeport - Commissioner Smith of the State Department of Public Welfare has recently
 been able to realize the incep- tion of an on-the-job training program. This development aims specifically at the intelli- gent orientation of new en- ployees, so that they may get
 the full appreciation of the
 ranaihcations of the depart
 ment's work. It is the Com missioner's feeling along with a host of advanced thinkers in the field of social work admin stration that in proportion as the individual worker can see and appreciate how their work responsibility fits in with the general pattern, they can do a much more comprehensive job.
 The first step in the develop ment of this new program was to hold competitive examina- tions for a Welfare Training Supervisor. This examination was held the first part of the year and on the basis of com
 etence in the field and general merit, Mrs. Elizabeth T. Cuffee of Bridgeport was selected.
 Mrs. Cuffee, prior to her ap- pointment in this new responsi- bility, was case supervisor of the Bridgeport office of the Division of Child Welfare. The is a signal honor and the poise and confidence with which Mrs. Cuffee made the following statement was in- dicative of her ability and sure ty in her new position.
 My first project, said Mrs. Cuffee with a matter-of-fact en- thusiasm that inspired confid- ence in her ability, twill be an orientation program for all new employees, to be inaugurated about mid-October.
 "The new employees should earn the underlying philosophy of social work and public wei fare.
 Mrs. Cuffee's position is one of the most responsible held by a member of the group i'll a state departments and bids we'll | to mark a new day.
