30 Increase Is Asked By R.R. Workers
80O,O GOO In IA Unions Say Low Rates Menace
 National Security

Hourly increases of BOG to 34c for the nations 100000 non- operating railroad workers were demanded by IA railroad unions this week. The demand was formulated by union representa- tives in Washington.
 Also this week the railroads faced demands for 30 per cent increases made by the big five railroad brotherhOOds in behalf of 35O,OOO trainmen.
 Present Minimums
 Raises for the incorporating work CTS would bring minimum scales to 7Oc for unskilled workers and $1.15 for skilled men. Existing minimums are 36c for the unskilled and 85c for others.
 Wages in this railroad industry have Jagged behind those in other major industries" said President B. M. Jewel of the Railway Employees Department of the AFL in a state ment signed by officials of the IA unions attending the conference.
 ''Menace to Security
 ''The low wage rates now be- ing paid in the railroad industry are menace to our national security. Unless the skilled rail- road worker is granted an in- crease comparable with other skilled labor, he will not con- tinue on his railroad job while higher wages are being paid to those who possess less skill and who assume less responsibility in other lines of employment

Unions Best
 Safeguard

The only safeguard for the workers of America, the only security for the permanence of the American way of life, is to increase and strengthen the American trade union.
 That statement was made this week by Rev. John Monaghan, chaplain of the Association of Catholic Trade Unionists, New York, before the St. Nicholas Forum.
 Through the unions" Father Mon aghan declared, "the present social gains have been attained. Trade unions are marked as enemies already by the American Hitlers, who will sabotage its labor in the name of defense.
 Any state that must be saved only by the destruction of trade unions is not worth fighting for and certainly not worth saving"

I. L. o. Offices
 Now In Montreal

Headquarters of the International Labor Organization now are in Mon- treal, Canada, in buildings provided by the Canadian Government and McGill University.
 One year ago, May 8, 1o40, the Geneva office was humming with ac- tivity and plans for the annual con- ference in June. On May 10th Lux emburg, Belgium, and Holland were invaded. Mails and telegrams were cut off. Tank barricades began to grow around Switzerland. Was the Office to become useless? Many be- lieved that the tried and tested ma chinery of the I.L.O. could be of use in dealing with the problems of war and peace. The Director, John C. Winant of the United States, now our Ambassador to Great Britain, left hurriedly by Clipper to look for new headquarters. The Canadian Govern ment and McGill University offered buildings in Montreal.
 About 50 members of the staff ob- tained visas, caught trains, buses, air planes, automobiles, whatever could be boarded at short notice, and began the trek through France, and Spain to the one open port, Lisbon in Portugal.
 In Montreal, the acting director now is the late Samuel Gompers' CO., worker, Edward J. Phelan.

Need of More Housing
 Stressed at Dedication

Labor won sincere expressions of appreciation at the dedication of Elm Haven last Saturday, but heard a warming from Nathan Straus, administrator of the United States Housing Authority, that it faces a serious unemployment problem when the national defense program ends.
 PRAISE FROM ALL
 New Haven labor which partici- pated in the building of Elm Haven was praised by William L. Crow, the contractor; B. M. Petit, director of the Authority; Dr. C.-E. A. Winslow, chairman of the Authority; Mayor John L. Murphy; and Douglas Orr, one of the Authority architects.
 Vincent Clark, in behalf of the unions which worked On the $2,60000O project, received the symbolic keys from Crow during the key ceremony which preceded the speaking event.
 ECONOMIC CHALLENGE
 Describing the economic chal- lenge facing labor and housers in the future, Administrator Straus warned of the general trend of technological change and the dis placement of men by machines. He said the rate of technological change is being accelerated.
 The impact of a second great force will be felt at the end of the

which stood at about 5 million people in 1940, will rise to about 42 million people in 1941.
 These figures of gain in employ ment and increase in national income are to be understood only if we realize that their real cause is the production of an unprecedented volume of the instruments and weapons and mate rials of national defense. That pro- duction will stop dead, suddenly and unexpectedly, when the defense period IS over-unless we plan to meet the emergency and plan now"
 BURDEN ON LOCAL
 AUTHORITIES
 Straus said housing must lead the way to take up the employment slack and placed responsibility for training America against future economic catastrophe on the local authorities.
 'I believe that the local Housing Authority of New Haven must as- sume as major responsibility the preparation of detailed blueprint of precisely what it will be ready to do on the day when peace re- turns to the world and the need for armed defense is transformed into a need for defense against eco. homie dislocation and unemploy. ment."

Kickback Ended
 As Caddies Strike

EATONTOWN, N. J-Before the weekend of June 8-9 was over, cad dies at the Old Orchard Country Club won an 18.hour strike.
 The caddies struck against deduc- tion of 10c from their $1 fee for a kicl1back taken by George w. Sulli- van, golf pro, to pay the caddy mas ter. Under the settlement, the fee was raised to $1.10, thus giving the cad dies their full $1. Sullivan also promised showers and improved sani- tary facilities.

defense emergency. There are mil. lions of workers now being trained for skilled and specialized defense industries who will find that their specialized technical skills are no longer in demand when the defense period is over.
 ''The shutting down of plants and factories engaged, directly or indirectly, in producing weapons of defense will create a problem of Unemployment, the like of which our nation has never seen before.
 NATIONAL DEFENSE
 Third, and by far the most i'm portant of all, there is the certainty of the abrupt subsistence of the whole tremendous defense industry as soor as the need for it is over. The effec of this will be far above and beyond its effect On the workers in the fac. tories and the mills that will close down. For the defense program now under way involves public expendi lures of more than 40 million dollars Defense expenditures for this year l941, the first year of the defense pro gram, will run to more than 12 billiol dollars. Due largely to the defens, effort, the national income, whicl stood at "A billion dollars in 194O, vii rise to about 90 billion dollars in 194I and to perhaps 100 billion dollar sil l942.

Long Range Plan

Resolutions to this effect were adopted by the guild at its fifth con- vention after Lee Pressman had told the delegates that recent congressional and newspaper attacks on labor were part of "a long-range plan to destroy labor's organized strength"
 The Vinson and Ball bills are part of this plan, Pressman said. He listed as the aims "the destruction of the workers rights l. and complete con- trol of the national economy and the government by big business, not only for the period of the present 'emerg- ency' but for all time."

Nationwide IVA.
 Is Urged by Norris

To meet the present shortage of power, Senator George W. Norris (Ind., Neb.), this week advocated extension of the IVA type of development to the en- tire country.
 In 1888 Norris, ''father" of the ''yardstick" program, offer ed legislation creating seven little TVA's," to blanket the country with public power. Had the program been adopted, the Nebraskan observed, today there would be no need to worry about lack of power.

A.F.L. Congratulates Both Rourke and Geelan On Record In Senate

Official confirmation of the stand taken last week by THE UNION TIMES with regards to the results of the l94l session of the Legislature was given by the New Haven Central Labor Coun- cil at its meeting last week.
 The resolution, embodying the Councils stand, follows:
 Politicians Win
 Resolved, That the New Haven Central Labor Council, in regular meeting assembled on Thursday, June }, 1941, hereby goes on record as Btating that the battle for political obs which the 1o41 Legislature fought for five months, and which the people of Connecticut lost, is hereby Rescribed by the organized labor movement of this city as one of the nost disgusting spectacles which dem- cratic government has had to con- end with in this state.
 Patronage Battle
 ssThe battle for patronage, fought up until the closing min- utes of the session; the disregard for pledges made to the voters; the brutal blocking of social labor legislature which the state sorely needs, is the strictest form of notice to labor and its friends that this situation in the General Assembly is the result of voting s for men who are interested in getting political jobs, and not in meeting the requirements of these highly critical times.
 COP. House
 "To the Republican-controlled House sf Representatives, to its everlasting hame, goes the responsibility for blocking or defeating such must legislation as State Labor Relations Act; Wages and Hour Law, State Housing Authority; a Rent Control Jaw; and laws strengthening the penalties for racial discrimination. To hose who served Connecticut in order to obtain political jobs for them Selves or their Party, goes the re- possibility for giving democratic sovernment, now under terrific fire a Jack eye.
 The Peoples Point of View
 ssBe it also Resolved, That the Executive Board of the New Ha- ven Central Labor Council is thereby instructed to draw up detailed statement of the results of this session of the Legislature from the point of view of the people of Connecticut. and is further instructed to send copies of this statement to the forty eight local unions affiliated withe New Haven Central Labor Coun- S ciI. the officers of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, Governor Robert A. Hurley, and to the press.
 tsAnd Be It Finally Resolved, That the Council congratulate Senators Joseph T. Rourke and N James P. Geelan for their record i'm the Legislature this year,"
