Tuberculosis is again ravaging the war scared nations. To combat any increase in this disease in our own country, each citizen is urged to ob- tain careful chest X-ray examination annually. The New Haven Health De- partment is prepared to offer chest X-ray service to men and women in industry. Each local union can en- courage its membership to take ad- vantage of this service.
 Where 200 or more individuals are employed in a given industry, the X-ray equipment can be set up at the place of work and examinations made during working hours.
 For those industries where i1divid- uals work in smaller groups, a given day may be designated for these peo- pie to report to the city Health De- partment for chest X-ray examina- ton.

"In order that all apprentices may be impressed with the importance of completing training under the State Apprenticeship Training, under the State Apprenticeship Council, and so they may be officially notified of their completion of training, 1 am happy to announce the first postwar gradua- ton exercises to be held by the Con- necticut State Apprenticeship Coun- Gil will be held on Thursday, Octo- Der g, 1947 at Woolsey Hall, Yale University, New Haven.
 "The tentative program will have either General Omar Bradley, Direc- tor of the Veterans Administration or General Ike Eisenhower, Chief of Staff, as the main speakers"
 This statement was made to the Connecticut Federation of Labor convention in Stamford by Thomas Yoczik, chief of the apprentice training division of the Connecticut Department of Labor.
 Leather pocket folderettes will be presented to all graduates (approxi- mate1y 350) by the State Federation of Labor in behalf of the State Ap- premiership Council" Yoczik con- .tinued.
 "So that we may all be proud of the apprentices who are trained in the industries of our State, I urge all members of the Connecticut Fedora tion of Labor to extend every effort to assist the trainee in the 'On-the- Job performance of his duties, to give them an encouraging word from time to time, to assist them in any prob lens they come up against in the Trade, so that ten years from today we can point with pride to the ac- complishments of our joint efforts in producing the quality craftsmen that organized labor has boasted of over a long period of time.
 ''The Connecticut State Appren- ticeship Council stands ready at all times to assist in establishing new Joint COmmittees-in cooperation with Labor and Management so that wherever apprenticeship is needed, this service can be rendered."

Meany Says COP
 For Big Business
(Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One) estate lobby bitterly opposed the bill. But 1t should make the American people wonder about Senator Taft"
 Social Security
 The COP record on social security was also assailed by MT. Meany. He pointed to the need for broadening of the present coverage provided by law and urged the lifting of benefits paid to compensate for the increased liv- ing costs.
 Legislation to bring these changes about has been lying on the congressional shelf for some time now and the Republican lead- CTS have deliberately blocked it." MT. Meany declared.
 ''They are also responsible for blocking a new proposed feature of social security known as, health insurance. Strictly speaking, that is a misnOmer, because the purpose of the Wagner-Murray-Dingell bill is really insurance against the cost of medical care.
 These costs are huge today and many people cannot afford to get the proper care except through in- surance. No private insurance com pany, or combination of them, is big enough to swing an insurance policy covering all the American people. That is the Governments responsibility.
 Even Senator Taft publicly ac- knowledged the need for action in this field, but instead of supporting an honest and constructive measure like the Wagner Murray -Dinge1l bill, he sabotaged it and offered a substitute which makes medical care available only on paupership basis. In order to get this medical care, under his bill, the citizen would have to swear he had no money to pay doctor.
 s'That isn't what the American people want. They want insurance on which they would pay regular premiums from their wages, SO that they would be entitled to the best medical care as matter of paid-up right when they needed it''
 Minimum Wage
 The Republican leadership failed the American people on yet another ' major question in their failure to live up to the reported desire of the COP to push an increase in the minimum wage level, MT. Meany said. Now at the pitifully low figure of $16 week, all proposals for lifting the minimum wage were allowed to die, he said.
 In concluding the interview, MT. Meany said that all of the COP actions 'sare clear symptoms of basic attitude toward labor by the Republican congressional leader ship, an Overbearing, hostile atti- tude which the workers of this country will not soon forget.''

Speakers Ask
 Support For Chest, Co-ops

Support for Community Chests and Consumer Co-Ops was urged upon delegates to the 62nd annual conven- tion of the Connecticut Federation of Labor in Stamford this week. The Co-Ops were represented by David McCa1mont, education director of the New Haven Coop, and the Chests were represented by Joseph V. Tobin, of Community Chests and Councils, Inc.
 McCalmont spoke on Full Elm ployment Through Consumer Coop eratives," and showed the benefits available to union members through co-ops He described the basic demo- cratic principles on which co-ops op- crate, and gave details of the patron age refund plan.
 If all American business were done by Consumer Co-Ops," he said, "the twelve -and-on one-ha1f-bil1ion dol lars earned by corporations last year would have been returned to the na- tlon's 144,O00,O00 consumers instead of handed over to small group of stock 'ho1ders.'
 The American Federation of Labor has officially endorsed the coop movement, and urges its members to join or form co-ops.
 MT. Tobin, who represents the AFL in his organization, told the convention that it is the obligation of all leaders of Central Labor bodies and AFL unions to work closely with the local Community Chest SO that complete understanding and cooperation, as well as year-round participation, can be accomplished by trade union mem bers and officers in the field of vol untary health and welfare.
 He declared that Chests and Coun- cils need the viewpoint and the intiA mate knowledge of the problems of working people which can only be brought into their deliberations by representatives of labor.

NLRB To Handle Building Trades Jurisdictions.
(Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One)
 The AFL building unions have set tied many jurisdictional disputes among themselves. They would like to know what will become of these agreements under the new labor law Apparently the NLRB cannot accept these pacts as they stand, since the board is committed to proceed on a case-by-case basis to handle each dis pute as 1t arises.
 Would Be Swamped
 By operating under such a proce- dure, the unions fear that the board will be swamped with cases, and that in the meantime the old agreements will be invalid and chaos will pre- vail.
 One practical method of proceed ing to work up joint. voluntary and binding plan of settling dis putes in the building industry is in existence. Federal officials hope that it may serve as the basis for a new one to be used as an alternative to settlement of inter-union disputes by the NLRB.
 The plan was announced by PreSi- dent Truman on Feb. 1, 1947. It was submitted to him by Richard Gray, president, and Herbert Rivers, secre- tary-treasurer of the AFL Building Trades Department, and by James D. Marshall, assistant managing di- rector of the Associated General Con- tractors.
 Hailed by the President as Ca step forward in industrial reIa- tions," the plan calls for joint committee to settle all disputes sub- mitted to it. However, the loophole in the scheme is that it does not compel submission of disputes and does not contain a no-strike agree ment.
