. sCATTON'S WASHINGTON
 COLUMN

the antitrust division is proceeding in 15 other cities, calling union off, cials in for questioning and and as one leader expresses it, "scar- ing our boys so that the unions can't operate"
 They are urging that the de- partment conf1ne its efforts to the Washington situation, making a test case out of it and discon- tinuing proceedings elsewhere.
 The Department of Justice, however, is supporting Assistant Attorney General Thurman Ar- hold in his policy of forgetting about test cases and going ahead all along the line and all across the country.
 SMILES FOR
 THE c. I. O.
 Meanwhile, a little counter pres sure is beginning to develop. For if the Federation is highly disturbed by the inquiry into building trades union practices, the c. I. o. is high- ly pleased.
 Last spring it announced its own plans to unionize the build ing trades, setting up the United Construction Workers Organizing committee to do the job.
 If MT. Arnold's energetic staff should disrupt the tightly organ ized A. F. of L. unions this or eanizing committees job would be just that much easier. So the c.

Spotlighting Brass CityNews
Fourth High Spot

Waterbury again is listed by Forbes Magazine in the Novem- Der issue as one of the best places in the United States for concentrating sales activities, for collections, and other promotion operations of business.
 Waterbury is the center of the fourth best High-Spot territory in the United States today. Eight other nearby cities make up the territory.
 This disrict, with the four other High-Spot territories, is chosen for special mention by Forbes because in it business is farther ahead of last year than in any other territory containing 100000 or more population. For the territory which includes Waterbury the median gain over last year has recently been 23%.

DEER HUNTING IS
 OPENED IN MAINE

Augusta. Me, Nov. 1-(UP)- Maine's statewide deer hunting sea- son opened today with more than 10000 safety posters greeting sports men as they entered the woods.

A. E. of L. Fights To Upset
 U. 5. Building Trades Probe

II. o. is all for continuance of the anti-trust drive.
 An extremely interesting point in that connection is the fact that Daniel Tobin, head of the power full A. F. of L. Teamsters' Union, has been one of the most ardent workers for peace with the c. I. O. in the A. F. of L. high com mand. Yet Tobin's is one of the unions which is feeling the force of MT. Arnold's drive the most.
 HIT THEM
 WHERE THEY FEEL IT Another interesting point is the fact that MT. Arnold must presently ask Congress for more money. It is rumored on the hill that even before the present special session ends, the justice depart ment will ask authorization to spend money already appropri- ated, ahead of the budget-in other words, to use in December money which is scheduled to be spent in March.
 There are two ways to choke off government department or agency when it is up to some- thing you don't like. One is to get the executive-the president or the department head-to call off the dogs The other is t0 cIlt down on appropriations in congress.
 The first method having failed in this case, the second one will undoubtedly be tried.
 The A. F. of L., as was said be- fore, has many friends on Capitol Hill. Consequently there is likely to be good deal of opposition the next time plea for money for the anti trust division is made.
