 The Council agreed to notify the State Defense Council of its action and to urge General Wad- hams to press his investigation of the housing situation in de- fense areas. The Council offered the State Defense Council full cooperation.
 In opening the meeting, Chair man Feinmark stated he was most concerned with instances of unwarranted increases of rent taking place in the lowest rental group, rather than in the $65 rent group. People who pay $65, Feinmark pointed out, could easily move should their land. lords threaten to raise their rents.
 1NOREASES HEAVY
 Rev. Edwards was emphatic in de. scribing the many complaints he re. ceived from members of his con gregation. He cited instances where families paying from $16 to $20 hac been raised from $5 to $8 a month. Miss V. Bruce pointed out that re lief rents had been kept down to $1( by the policy of her Departmen which, she said, couldn't pay more Alderman Paolillo said he had no received many complaints from tenant in his downtown ward He believed that the present boom was restorin, rents to normal, and said that rent had been greatly depressed by tn crash and the ensuing recession.
 BOVE'S VIEWS
 State Representative Bove SUD- ported the alderman in his con. tention that the situation was not alarming. He indicated that the landlords were now making many needed repairs which cost money and that furthermore the landlords were entitled to a just return on their investments.
 The chairman countered by pointing out that many people had lost their property to the banks and hence new owners were now reaping the benefits of the present boom.

 Workers Win Sc Increase
Annual Raise Will Total $1, ,664, ,OOO; Start Drive

Hourly raises of Sc averted a strike of 10000 workers at three Connect. cut plants of the American Brass CO. one of the 'big three" firms in the brass valley.
 The increases ended four weeks of deadIocked negotia- tions, in which the International Union of Mine Mill & Shelter Workers demanded 1Oc and company officials stood pat on a cOunter-offer of 6c. The union membership ratified the in- creases on the day set for the walkout.
 The contract establishes the highes hourly minimums in the brass valley CSC for men and 58c for women. Tn, union may reopen wage negotiation if higher rate is established by an, other brass firm. Annual wage raise will total $1, ,664,000.
 Demands that the other two big brass companies grant simi- lar raises were immediately made. The two companies, which the union is now trying to or ganize, are the Scovill Mfg. Co. and Chase Brass & Copper Co.

 APPEAL TO U. s.
 Negotiations were dead1ocked be- tween the AFL and the Western Car fridge Company until the union ap- pealed to the National Defense Medi- ation Board to take over the plant. This action came after an N.L.RB. election, which certified the AFL as the workers bargaining agent. De- mands include an increase in the hourly minimum from 60 cents to 85 cents; adjustment of rates for higher paid men; a union shop and checkoff.
 FAIRFIELD STATEMENT
 Fairfield, in a statement is- sued today said:
 ''It has been brought to my attention that a dual Organiza- ton has made certain statements about the Machinists Union and the AFL. The easiest way to prove them lies is to see me at the Carde Hotel or at the Labor Temple.''
 To this he added:
 ''l. The officers of the Ma chinists handling money are bonded.
 ss2. The International AssO- citation of Machinists require a three-quarter majority or more to call strike, making sure in this way by a secret ballot. Then sanction is granted by the Grand Lodge. The efforts of the Ma tional Defense Mediation Board are used first to settle any con- troversy peacefully. Compare for your own satisfaction"

Voluntary
 Handling of
 Cases Best
Arbitrary Power Would De. stroy Prestige Board Has
 Built For Itself

The National Defense Medi- atiOn Board is scheduled to en- ter a new phase, according to word from Washington.
 Its original membership of II has been enlarged so that it now consists of 3l persons, its orig inal chairman has resigned, and plans are underfOOt for decen- tralization of the boards opera tiOns.
 STUDY MADE
 A study of the boards operations, recently made here, show some inter- esting figures concerning the first phase of the board.
 Up to June 20 the board handled Al cases. On the average, cases involving strikes came to the board 10 days after the strike was called.
 Once certified, the figures show, the cases were finally disposed of III an average of II days and, in cases where a strike was postponed at the boards request, the final issues were settled in approximately IS days.
 Those figures, it was noted, do not take into account the amount of time needed for the studies of fact-6nding commissions and similar items which are made part of the settlement be- fore the hoard.
 PRINCIPAL JOB
 The boards principal job is to get men back to work, if strike has been called, or postponed if one is threatened.
 Of 28 cases involving strikes, the union and the company reached a mutually satisfactory agreement in 20 cases before the men went back to work.
 RETROACTIVE?
 In those cases in which the men returned to work before a settlement was reached, the board promised that any agreement made would be retro active to an agreed date not later than the return to work or the date the strike was postponed, and that the status of employer -enploye relations remains the same until settlement is reached.
 The attitude of the board toward a closed shop has not thus far been made entirely clear. The issue arose in the cases involving Bethlehem Shipbuilding, Allis-C Chalmers, and General Motors.
 Its policy seems from those three cases, to be that in a situation which has a long history of collective bar gaining through the closed shop, as in the case of the San Francisco ma chinists, the board will recommend its extension to a particular employer who pleads for an exemption.
 CONFUSION UNWANTED
 The study concluded that, on the basis of the Al cases handled to June 20, the mediation board has done fairly good job. Con- cern was expressed over pending Congressional proposals giving the mediation board compulsory powers.
 The board has functioned thus far, it was stated, because of its voluntary nature and because it has followed the general philosO- phy of its new chairman which is summed up in "creatiOn is the product of persuasion"
 Proposals to clOthe the board with arbitrary powers would. it is feared, destroy any prestige that the board may have built for it. self and would deprive unions of their necessary privilege of re- jecting the boards recommenda- tiOns.
 So long as the board is unable to force its proposals down any bOdy's throat the more respect it will have for the thrOats of the parties coming before it.

Street Car Men Obtain
 Increases In Four Cities
National Headquarters Announces Substantial Raises In Springfield, Mass, Cleveland Jamaica,
 And San Francisco

Substantial wage increases were ob- tained for members of the Amalga- mated Association of Street, Electric Railway and Motor Coach Employees in three new arbitration awards, union headquarters in Detroit have just an- nounced.
 In Cleveland ,the hourly pay of trainmen was raised five cents, with an additional increase of one cent an hour to be paid September l. The five-cent in- crease was made retroactive to last January l, when tfie former contract terminated. The same increase was provided for One- man car and bus operators. Va cation grants also were improved SO that men with five years ser vice will now get fourteen days vacation with twelve days pay and men with one to five years of service will get seven days off with six days pay.
 JAMAICA, l.. I.
 In Jamaica, Long Island, drivers of the North Shore Bus Company won a ten-cents an hour wage increase from v to 87 cents, with proportionate in creases for those in intermediate groups. Wages of garage men were brought to a top rate of e21a cents an hour. Vacations with pay were increased from one to two weeks. The arbitration boards award also requires the company to recognize the unior as the representative of minor super, visory employees. The new contract provides for a complete closed shop.
 SPRINGFIELD
 In Springfield, Mass, an arbi- tration board granted employees of the Springfield Street Railway Company an increase of eight cents an hour to all bus oper- ators, lifting the wage rate to 81 cents an hour. This award also was made retroactive to last January l. Improvements in working conditions also were Ob- tained.
 SAN FRANCISCO
 More than 1000 workers received pay increases in a new two-year con tract signed by the Amalgamated with the Market Street Railway Company in San Francisco. Bus drivers pay was raised to 85 cents an hour and conductors and motormens to 7s cents. Improved working conditions are also provided, eliminating many split shifts. The contract may be opened next July for further wage re- visions.

the power of the Board of Aldermen to investigate the rent situation. Al derman Paolillo was skeptical of the Boards legal authority. Feinmark pointed to article 53A of the City Charter which permits the Board of Aldermen to legislate in the interest of the health of the citizens of New Haven. It was his opinion that rent gouging always resulted in over crowding because poor families take in boarderS to help meet the rent. He believed, moreover, that Governor Hurley had the power to set up a Rent Control Body in the interest of the health of the state community.
 AREAS AFFECTED
 Feinmark cited his own findings that while there had been some IS per cent of improper instances of rent raising in the city as whole, the 18th Ward had suffered from 50%o; again the in stances in the neighborhood of the Winchester factory were far above the city percentage. In this wise he in- dicated that the situation was alarm ing for certain areas if not for the en- tire city.
 When State Representative Joseph Bove indicated there was little en- thusiasm in the House for rent legis- lation, Feinmark reported on the Rent Control Bill. It was passed by the Senate but died in the House Judiciary Committee.

N.L.R R. E.
(Continued from Page 1)

On June IA the union, with the help of an outside attorney, began bargain ing with the Board. It complained of anti-union activities on the part of some of the supervisors and charged in four recent appointments to legal positions paying $3200 the existing union contract had been violated.
 NLRB member William M. Leiser- son responded by giving the boards employees a tongue flashing and then dashed out to catch train to New York.
 ATTITUDES DIFFER
 Leiserson told the union that ''you don't know collective bar gaining from a cow," declared that the union has no business knowing about things that are management problems, asserted : that the union was engaged in improper activities, said it was necessary for the Labor Board to have what appears to be a conn pany union, and charged that the Boards union is entirely inc ept.
 After LeisersOn's speech and his immediate departure, NLRB member Edwin s. Smith quickly stated, ''I don't pretend to Dr. Leiserson's knowledge of how to conduct union meetings. I'm glad to say that I have no sources of information as to what goes on at union meetings"
 VIOLATION CHARGED
 Previously, General Counsel Rober Watts, defending himself on tht charge that he violated the existing union agreement by going outside the Board for the four $32O0 year ap- pointments without informing em. ployes that the vacancies existed, de. clared, q have for some time beer of the opinion that the union agree. ment as presently set up is not work able from the management stand point i. I am still of that opinion"
 One of the unions principal de mands is that employees of the Boart be given the first crack at higher salaried vacancies. This a majority oi the Board is reluctant to do on the ground that such a procedure might result in a trend toward "mediocrity.' The Boards union also asks that some provision be made for referring grievances to an outside party but 2 majority of the Board says that ar outsider who doesn't know tht peculiar conditions of our industry should not De brought III.
 UNFAIR PRACTICES?
 The part of the battle that has people chuckling is the fact that the union members would be vir- tually compelled, in their capac- ity as NLRB lawyers, to find a private employer guilty of unfair labor practices if he behaved in the same way that majority of the board is behaving.
 An alarming aspect of the battle is the manner in which a majority of the Board ap- breaches union problems when they are laid on their own door, step.
