CHICAGO.-A strike call for 6 A.M., Dec. 7, has been issued by the big five railroad brotherhoods. At that time one-third of the 350,000 workers involved will leave their jobs.
 Another third will quit at the same time the following day, and the final group will walk out Dec. 9.
 The IA incorporating brotherhoods have rejected the recommendations of President Roosevelt's fact-fnding board, but issued no strike call. Off, cials of these unions continued to con- fer.
 Railroad employees believe in or derly procedure, but they are not will ing to accept injustice" the non operating brotherhoods declared. "They are determined to press their demands for equitable consideration and relief against intolerable wage standards and to gain reasonable va cations"

 The freight line had moved into a building which had been remodeled by non-union workers. Drivers and warehousemen had refused to cross the picket line established by the council and shipments were being held up.
 Building trades representatives esti- mated the total difference between the non-union wages and the union scale on the job at $250 and agreed to settle the dispute if this amount were do- mated to a worthy charity.

Can't Attend School And
 Collect On Compensation

The question of ability and availability of claimants for em- plOyment was the foremost is- sue in cases decided last month by the Unemployment Commis- sioners of Connecticut, accord ing to the Monthly Bulletin of the Connecticut State Labor De- partment Division of Employ ment Security.
 NEW CASES
 Cases involving new and unusual points follow:
 CD A married man aged 5, left his irregular employment with Meri- den manufacturer in the spring of 1941 to improve his job opportunities through enrolment in a trade school for mechanics. He completed his course of study on June 16. He filed claim for benefits on June 2o, and between that date and July Y, when he was hired by an airplane manu- facturer, he was totally unemployed and available for work. His claim, however, was held invalid because of the language of the Unemployment Compensation Law barring from benefits individuals leaving employ ment to attend school as a regularly enrolled student.
 ENTIRE LAW"
 Comm. Curtiss K. Thompson, however, held that a person who fails to become or ceases to re- main a student although he left work to do SO, is eligible for benefits.
 ''The entire law must be kept in mind so the whole may be dealt with harmoniOusly," the

 @ A press operator, who quit his job in the belief that relative could obtain for him a job in de- fense factory but who was rejected because of his height and weight was held to have left work without suf- ficient cause when his average earn ings were $3280 a week.
 (3) A filing clerk and stenogra- pher who was discharged three months after marriage in accordance with a company rule was neverthe- less held to be available for work despite her refusal of an offer of a temporary job of two months dura- ton.
 (4) A female power press oper- ator who feared a ruptured appendix and who quit on her physicians ad- vice, was found available when she was ready and willing to accept any other suitable work.

Facilities Of Boom Towns
 Inadequate

Headaches for Connecticut are in the making as American work CTS are once more on the march.
 Reports from the Social Se- curity Board congressional conn., mittees and other government agencies indicate that a wave of defense migration is sweeping over the country toward defense industries in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Indiana, and Maryland from states like Iowa, Minnesota, Oklahoma, and West Virginia. Government officials predict that a terrific backwash will come from this wave after the war period.
 SIX STATES
 Reason for the present migration wave is seen in the fact that more than half of all defense contracts allocated from June 1, 194O, through April 30, 1941, were concentrated 1T six states, including Connecticut Rhode Island, Indiana and Maryland containing one-third of the nations population. Men, looking for a chance to earn a living, must go where the jobs are.
 In most cases, the facilities of the new boom towns are entirely made quate to meet the needs of the new workers. Housing, schools, sewage even eating facilities are burdened tc the point of breadown.
 "HOT BEDS"
 Reports of "hot beds," beds 1T which three people sleep in eight-hour shifts, are frequent. Serious epidemics are expected when winter sets in.
 These are conditions which are known to the migrants be- fore they set out, but the pros- pect of good wages, even for a short time, together with the pressure of defense unemploy- ment, make them take a chance.

Worker Spends Fourth Of
 His or Her Budget On Food

WASHINCTON-The average factory worker in 1929 had to spend about a third of his wages on a standard food budget of 58 items. So far this year he has had to spend about a fourth, ac- cOrding to Department of Agri- culture economist Louis H. Bean.
 PURCHASING POWER
 This means, Bean said that the aver age factory worker, after taking care of his food budget, has almost a fifth more to spend on commodities other
