 Keep Unions Clean
 The demand that federation ur1- ions be kept clean" came in the final report of the committee on the executive councils reports and paved the way toward considera- tion, possibly later today, of the anti-racketeering resolution.
 Our organization is voluntary organization" the report said. That means that we are placed upon our honor to keep our movement law abiding, clean and in proper line With its publicly-announced policies. To compute our importance from other premises is merely to prac- tice lf-deception."
 It pointed out that legislation has contributed to building strength and influence in labor organiZa- tion, and added that with thi goes the implied responsibility that our newly acquired rights be used for the purpose intended"
 ''The opposition of our federation to Communism and all forms of to- talitarianism meet witr public ap- proval and support" 1t said. "Ev- cry effort we make to keep our or- ganization clean and self-disciplined will meet with the same public SUD- port"
 Delegates sat long after the din- ner hour yesterday to dispose of three controversial subjects: CD The per capita assessment of one per cent; CD salary increases for Pres ident William Green from $12,OO0 to $20,000 8 year and Secretary Treasurer Meany's from $10,00O to $l8,000 a year; (3) power of the ex- ecutive council to suspend interna- tional unions.
 Cent Per Capita Ended
 Without dissenting vote they ended the one cent per capita as- sessment, which Dubinsky and leaders of the International Typo BIdpiliCdl OIllOn naQ cOnQemneQ as means of raising money to fight the CIO, and substituted an in- crease of one cent in the per capita tax. bringing 1t to two cents. The increase will be in effect one year and in the interim, a committee will report on the federation's financial needs.
 The delegates approved a report of the law committee vesting power to suspend unions in the conven- tion except in cases of dual unIon- ism when the council would be au- thorized to mete out punishment. This was not completely satisfactory to Dubinslky who wanted the coun. ell shorn of all its power to sus- pend recalcitrant unions.
 It was learned that the anti- racketeering resolution will care- fully observe the autonomous rights Of the unions. giving tho council no power except to exert moral oppo- sition to ''racketeers and exploiterS. !" Its presentation to the convention may Dc delayed until tomorrow.

: A warning against spurious rat control operators and the unauthor- ized use of disease producing bac- teria for the extermination of TO- dents was issued today in the weekly bulletin of the state department of health. Complaint about the itiner- ant operations in Connecticut of Roy R. Averill and E. N. Bailey elicited information from the National Pest Control association concerning these alleged rat control men and several others known to follow the same f1c- titious methods.
 Upon arrival in a community the responsible health official is first in- terviewed and an impressive set of testimonial letters from officials in various parts of the country is dis played. An offer is made to rid dumps and other city property of rats with out charge. Usually this authoriza- tion is secured on official stationery Thus fortified, the local press is ap- preached and furnished stories on the proposed rat campaign. This is represented as cooperative com munity undertaking conducted un- der the auspices of the city health department and canvas is made of industrial executives, large prop erty owners and stores.
 The bulletin discloses that the next step is to compute each firms share" of the cost for necessary chemicals and labor. This is reput- edly based on the area infested with rats. Although the health depart ment was not advised that such charges were part of the campaign, the contract forms bear the title, 'The City Rat Campaign-Health Department" The fee is frequently collected on the spot, and initial dis tribution of bait usually made with
