PENSIONS TO BE GRANTED;
 PACT SIGNED
Thousands of Steel Work CTS Given Back 10 Work
 0rder-CeIebrdtions

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 12--tR--T'he most costly steel strike in Ameri- can history virtually ended today after the CIO United Stockholders signed the mammoth United States Steel Corporation to a pension insurance pact.
 Inland Steel Corporation agreed to a similar peace agreement on the Bethlehem pattern three and one-half hours after the big steel settlement last night.
 That left only 124,000 strikers idle of about 5l3.0OO steelworkers who walked off their jobs last October l in support of demands for company-pai pensions.
 BACK TO WORK
 The end of the strike against hig steel, largest steel producers in the world, gave l77,000 unionists the Ego Lack to work" high sign. The agreement covers only 10000 em- ployees in six major operating sub sidiaries but the corporation said the union agreed that all workers should return at once.
 Union President Philip Murray predicted 90 percent of basic steel the plants which produce raw steel--"will be signed to the new Bethlehem type contract by Mon- day morning
 PENSION PAYMENTS
 The Bethlehem settlement, signed October 3l, provides $lO0 minimum monthly pension payments to work Vers aged 65 who have served 25 years. The workers do not have to pay into the fund but they do con- tribute to Federal Social Security which is added to company pen sions to make up the $t00 total. Workers with fewer years of service will receive proportionate.y smaller pensions,
 The agreement also provides for a five cents an hour social insur- ance program. That cost is shared equally by workers and company.
 WAGES UNCHANGED
 Wages are unchanged for steel workers now earning an average of S1.65 an hour.
 Asked if the settlements now signed with about 50 large and small companies would bring higher steel prices, Murray declared:
 T can't answer that, of course.'
 Industrial peace in steel towns brought impromptu celebrations. In Lorain, Ohio, where National Tube Company, US. Steel subsidiary, employs 10000 unionists the revel turned out to be an auto blowing joyr.de. Celebrants damned the streets in that Lake Erie port.
 In Homestead, Pa. near Pitts burgh singing men and women filled sidewalks from curbs to store- fronts.
 0l AWEEh O1 nlhE Over the nation, the strikers lost an estimated $270,000,000 wages during the six week long strike. Added to that strike loss figure is the 100000 to 10,0O0.000 tons ot steel production which would have been produced if the workers had not struck.
 Some of the laid-off workers will be slow in returning to work. Tn the auto manufacturing industry, where 43,000 employees are idle. several weeks will be required to build up steel stockpiles.
 President Benjamin F. Hairless of big steel, who led the industry's l fight against the unions demands, said in prepared statement:
 We welcome the conclusion of ! the strike and resumption of steel operations which will enacle us to do our part in meeting the steel needs of the nation.'

Don Newcombe
Ndmed Rookie" Of
Yeur for Natl League

Don Newcombe, giant Ne
gro hurler for the National
League champions Dodgers,
was named unanimously as
Rookie of the Year" by base
ball writer's. Newcombe's re-
cord, one of the most spectacu
lar in the majors, eaisly won
him the honor. Coming from
Montreal on May II, he won
as many games as the regu-
lars who had started earlier,
and pitched shut-out ball in
many games. One of his best
performances was in the open
ing game of the World Series
at the Yankee Stadium, when
he was two outs from a Shut
out, having, up to that time
pitched a four-hitter. ,

TECHNOLOGISTS OF
P. R. GETTING DATA
ON SUGAR IND.

A committee of the Sugar
Cane Technologists Associa-
ton of Puerto Rico is busy
gathering information regard
ing possible improvements in
technology and mechanical
ton of the insular sugar indus
try, the broadcast said.
In previous meetings of this
committee, a great deal of in
teresting information had been
presented. Fear of displace-
ment and eventual unemploy-
ment, the Association says has
caused labor organizations to
reject vigorously certain mod
ern methods of cane cultiva-
ton where new techniques are
put into practice. In several
instances, too, it is claimed la
Dor organizations have been
successful in preventing the
use of certain machinery, as
well as the use of chemical
herbicldes.
On the other hand, it is felt,
the efficiency of laborers has
shown a downward trend in
the last few years, in spite of
minimum wage laws which
have raised their pay materi-
ally. It seems that, of the main
problems, one is general edu-
cation.
1t is suggested that the best
practices in sugar cane cult
walton could be extended, and
more work performed by the
laborerS either by establish
ing piece work or by creating
appropriate insentives.

F'STED JUNIOR HIGH
STUDENTS VISIT
HISTORIC POINT

Forty-three students from
the Frederiksted Junior High
School, of which Alexander
Henderson is principal, last
weekend visited Estate River
also the historic Salt River
e where Christopher Column
bus is reported to have landed,
in connection With the .acai-
demic program Of the School.
The first stop was made at
Estate River, where the stu
dents and their teachers were
guided around the old Carib
camp site by Eric Lawaetz. I'm
fortunately, the dampness of
the site due to the recent hea-
Wy rains, made close insepc-
ton .of the deposits of Carib
materials very difficult. Mrs.
Iaaweatz, however. exhibited
an array of Carib relics includ
ing a very rare stone used by
the aborigines to sharpen their
tools, which was located on
the Estate.
Leaving River, the group
proceeded to the Salt River
site. There everyone had lunch
con, after which the students
were shown the spot where
Columbus and his men land
ed, also the anchorage of his
ships. On this spot a large and
easily observable Carib site
was observed. Several stu
dents recovered pottery frag-
ments to take home. Over the
remains of the village it was
pointed out, early European
settlers built Qualifications to
guard the bay.
Teachers who planned the
trop and accompanied the stu
dents were: Mrs. Amy Nc Kay,

1t is my belief that the ap-

a reversal of policy and the
of all the good work

accomplished.

were at fault in any situation. The paper took violent stand against increasing brawls and violence within the community itself which reflected to it's detriment.
 Ignoring partisan politics and striking out for what it considered the good of the people of the state the CHRONICLE vigorously fought for the election of our present Gov ernor Chester Bowles. Many folks believed us insane in our stand for a Democrat as chief executive of a traditionally Republican state, but vindication of our judgment lies not only in the election of Bowles, but also, we believe, will be forth coming in the just, wise and for ward-looking administration which he will give to the people of the State of Connecticut.
 There are many newspapers which report the activities of pub lic-spirited individuals, civic and community agencies and then at- tempt to claim all the credit for accomplishments which result. We do not intend to do that. Such agencies as the NAACP and the Hartford Negro Citizens Council of times initiated action which was then spotlighted and augmented by the CHRONICLE. We are not try ing to take any credit from such agencies. We want to continue, as we have done in the past, to aid and support them in what they, do which is for the public good.
 With all the strides which have been made in the past, there are still a great many evits which need correction.
 To the continuation and expan- sion of the distinguished records of the Hartford and Connecticut Chronicles, THE NEW ENGLAND BULLETIN is pledged.
 As our friend said at lunch, that will be progress.

Tribute to Simpsons efforts is reflected in the fact that the Wash ington legislation, enacted early this month, in many respects, is modelled along the lines of Connec- ticut's own FEPC Statute.
 Late in October, while featuring at Seattle's University of Washing ton, Simpson participated in con ferences with Washington barris- ters, headed by Frank Helsell, Chairman of the Washington State Commission Against Discrimination in Employment.
 Interviewed in his office at the State House, Simpson told the BULLETIN:
 ''Mr. He1sell's group was mainly interested in finding out what had been our experience here in Con- necticut insofar as the various op- positions which would be raised by group representatives the content of our law and the various tech niques applied in it's enforcement" !"
 The Connecticut official supplied the Washington agency with letters from Connecticut industries prais- ing the results of FEPC in the state, and commendatory editorials printed in such newspapers at the HERALD TRIBUNE and DIES MONIES REGISTER.
 One of the most interesting com munications from a firm which had found FEPC results satisfactory was written by W. P. Morin, Per sonnel Director of South Norwalk's Hat Corporation of America, who observed in part:
 F'I think the FEPC law has helped both unions and management, as it has clear-cut definitions that cannot be misinterpreted."
 Washington Law Inferior
 Although patterned after the Connecticut law, in the main, the midwestern states statute is not, by any means, as sweeping as Con- necticut's. For example, it does not cover non-profit organizations. (This states is the only one in the nation which does.)
 The Washington law covers en- ployers with eight employees, while Connecticut's covers firms with five.

 BIG ROLE IN WASHINGTON STATE FEPC BILL PASSAGE

Aiding inerracial of attorneys Frank Simpson, Ex ecuve Secretary of the Connecticut Commission played
 significant role of anob discrimination legislation in the state of Washington, ENGLAND BULLETIN learned this week :.
New England bulletin., 1949-03-26

Another weakness in the Wash ington law, as compared to Con- necticut's, is failure of the law to specify that the state itself may initiate complaints.
 The Washington bill passed the Democratic-controlled House by a vote of 77-19. It had previously passed the Republican Senate 37-6.
 In a letter of thanks to Simpson for his cooperation, the Chairman of the Washington Commission wrote him:
 "As you know, we are somewhat isolated in the northwest. We were grateful to talk with someone with your background and first-hand ex- perience with legislation against discrimination in endowment"
