Standards Board Asked By
 Building Trades
Council Endorses Redrich for Elm Haven Post; Protests American Federation of
 Labor Agreement With O. P. M.

A resolution seeking the es- tablishment of Fair Labor Standards Board for Municipal Contracts by the City of New Haven was adopted by the New Haven Building Trades Council at its last meeting in the Labor Temple.
 The Council appointed a com 1nittee of three-John A. John- son, business agent of Local 79, Carpenters; Joseph T. Rourke, business agent of Local B-9O,
 Electrical Workers; and James Di Lonardo, business representa- tive of Bricklayers Local No. 6 ito visit Mayor John W. Mur- phy to ask for his support. The proposed board would set the prevailing rates and wages as the springboard for all city contracts.
 ROURKE SPONSOR
 A similar resolution was passed by the Council in December, 1o39. State Senator Joseph T. Rourke presented a petition at that time to the Board of Alderman, of which he was a member, requesting the enactment oi such legislation. The petition was re- ferred by the Board to its Ordnance Committee which gave it favorable report. However, on the very day the petition came up for a vote on the floor of the Board of Aldermen, Ma

Rent Committee
 Sets Procedure

With January 1, 1o4l, agreed upon as Fair Rent Day, the Fair Rent Committee for New Haven has cleared the decks for action on complaints of rent gouging. A full meeting of the Committee will be held next week to complete plans. More than a dozen complaints have been received to date.
 Members of the subcommittee which selected the same date chosen by the Fair Rent Committee for Hart ford, were Otis Bacon, Louis Loeb, Oscar Monrad, Miss Viva M. Bruce, Edward V. Foley, and Chairman of the full committee, Edmund R. Geb- hardt. Alexander Driessens, president of the Cigar Makers Union and an appointee, had been invited but could not attend the meeting which was held during his working hours.
 All complaints will be judged against the rate of rent being paid last January 1, which, however, will be applied fexibly according to its relation to other factors, such as improvements, rising prices, etc.

This is the time of the year that the wives of union business representatives and officers are wondering how they can get away with their husbands to the various state and national con- ventiOns, and leave the children in good hands, as Mrs. Fernand Knobloch can testify.

Lack of Plan On Priorities Given
 As Chief Factor
Small Business Men And Manufacturers Protest, And Ask For Wider Dis
 tribution of Defense Contracts

Jobs of million workers are threatened with annihiIatiOn dur ing the next two months be- cause of poor planning under the defense program, the American Federation of Labor declared this week.
 Thousands of plants face shut downs or curtailed operations de- spite defense boom, the Fedora. ton predicted.
 I've have nearly reached the peak of defense unemployment and are now coming to defense unemployment" the A. F. of L. asserted.
 BAD PLANNING"
 Most of this joblessness, the Fed eration said, will be caused by the "priorities" program, under which es- sential raw materials are assigned first to defense industries, leaving little or nothing to consumer goods plants. \ The Federation blamed this predica- ment on "bad planning" and asserted that so-called experts sold the coun- try short" by understanding needs for basic materials. The government. 1t added, moved too slowly to make up the lag.
 As result, a stream of men will be laid off by priorities in consumer goods industries and this stream will gather speed and numbers as the months go by" the A. F. of L. warned. Its chief economist, Boris Shishlin. revealed that nearly all types of in dustries will be aluminium "pots and pans" rubber, plastics, autos, re- frigerators, fabricated metals and hundreds of others.
 SPREAD CONTRACTS
 The situation could be eased, the A. F. of L. said, if manufac- turers who are hOgging defense contracts, were forced to subcon-. tract more of their work to small plants, but so far little has been done along that line.
 Defense officials are making attempts to soften the impact of the threatened wholesale unem- plOyment. Sidney HilIman, assO- ciate general director of, defense, has set up a priorities branch to deal with the problem. However, labor chiefs pointed out that ''ad- justments take time'' and, mean while, thousands of men and women are already being dis charged.

The Burns & Mcdonnell En- gineering Corporation of Kansas City, Missouri, consulting en- gineers for the Public Ownership League of America, has been in- vited by the New Haven Central Labor Council to send speaker to the Councils next meeting.
 ATTACK BENEATH NOTICE
 While the engineering corporation has been under attack, Joseph T. Rourke, vice-president of the Council, stated that the character of the people and publications making the attack was of such a nature that the esteem in which he had previously held the engineers was considerably reinforced. Tn the same way" he explained, as labor people are fattered when the likes of Pegler or Vinson attack us. We'd surely begin to worry if a Peg Ter or Vinson praised us, wouldn't we? The criticism of Burns & Mo Donnell is of the same type.''
 Furthermore, Rourke continued, some sources which brand as radical an organization with which the Right Reverend Monsignor John A. Ryan has allowed his good name to be asso- ciated, are either totally ignorant or too unreliable to merit a reply.

PARKING METERS

The recent announcement that the City of New Haven is going to install an additional 400 parking meters in many of our streets is a step in the wrong direction, in my opinion. If they continue to install these meters at the rate they are going, before we know it. we will find meters out in Edgewood Park and possibly in front of our own homes outside of the business areas.
 SERIOUS PROBLEM
 To be sure the traffic problem in the City of New Haven is most important issue and requires a very careful study. The use of parking meters is debatable question and I disapprove of parking meters for the following reasons:
 l. The average person driving an automobile who finds 1t necessary to park in our streets for business req sons is being taxed anywhere from $500 to 5000 a year depending upon how many times they find it necessary to park. Of course the spaces avail able, that is, whether they use the penny meters or the nickel meters, enters into hese hgurtes.
 INEFFICIENT SYSTEM
 2. Before the parking meter idea was sold to the Police Com mission, what was wrong with the parking situation in our City? The lack of policemen to cover the job of checking cars that were parking over the time limit set by the Police Department was one reason. Another was an improper system of checking cars SO that accurate timing could be kept by the police men. Another was the case that parking tags could be disposed of by the parking law violators.
 STREET PATROL
 Instead of parking meters, proper system of checking cars such as they have in many of our larger cities should have been installed in New Ha- ven. It would be very easy for a
