Living Costs Jumped l.2%
 Last Month, Says Perkins

WASHINCTON.-The cost of goods purchased by wage earners and IOw-salaried workers in large cities increased l.2 per cent from mid-September to mid-OctOber, Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins reported this week.
 At the same time she reported that the average hourly earnings of factory wage earners in September was 1.6 per cent above the level of the preceding month.
 The principal cause of the in- crease in the average hourly earn ings, which stood at 75.8 cents in September, was the increase in em- ployment in certain high wage dur able goods industries, Miss Perkins said.
 The increase in the cost of living resulted from advances in rents and in prices of food, clothing and cer- tain housefurnishings. New excise

Sheet Metal
 Workers Win NewContract
Rate Raised 15c to $1.35 Hourly-Joslyn, Kunz,
 Bassell On Board

Union sheet metal workers
 employed in the northern dis
 trict of Connecticut, which ex-
 cludes Fairfield County and a
 few small towns, are enjoying
 a $I.5O hourly rate under con-
 tracts negotiated by Local 40,
 whose headquarters is in Meri-
 den. The old rate was $l.35.
 A Joint Adjustment Board with the union and the contractors each having three representatives, admin isters the agreements. Ben Bassell of Wethersheld, Ernest J. Kunz, Hartford, and George A. Joslyn, Hamden, represent Local 40, with Louis Schultz of the American Sheet Metal Works in Waterbury; C. C. Boswick of Hartford, and Richard Libbey of Libbey & Blinn, Hartford, the employer members. Kunz is board secretary.
 The trade has also established a Joint Apprenticeship Board in line with the apprenticeship policy of the National and State governments. Jos lyn, Kunz, and Peter Moran of Hart ford, employe delegates, administer apprenticeship standards together with spokesmen Fred T. Atwill of the LineK Atwill Company in William c. Roberts, New Haven, and Henry Sandberg of the Automatic Refrigerator Company, Atwill chairs the board with Kunz its secretary.
 Arthur Molleur, Waterbury, is
 president of Local 40; Joslyn is
 business agent; Kunz secretary
 treasurer, and Charles McKone,
 Meriden, recording-secretary.

 MIHICAN
 DETROIT. - Michigan's 30-day cooling-off law serves only to heat labor up.
 For, in order to evade the law, while obeying the letter, unions now an- nounce their intention of striking even before they open negotiation with en- ployers.
 The purpose is twofold:
 The early filing of strike notice gives union leaders added bargaining power in negotiations.
 It enables the unions to walk out immediately any time after 30 days if negotiations break down.
 WISCONSIN
 MILWAUKEE.-Wisconsin's lO- day cooling-off law applies only to strikes affecting harvesting and pro ceSsing of perishable foodstutfs. There haven't been any unions of agricul- tural workers here since it was passed in 1889. On the other hand, there haven't been any uniaons of agricul- tural workers here, either.
 Efforts have been made to extend the law to all industries, but thus far the A.F.L. and C.LO. have resisted them successfully.
The union times., 1941-12-13

taxes accounted for 2 per cent of the rise.
 Compared with the 1935-39 average, the cost of goods purchased by the wage-earning group is 1904, per cent of which 5 per cent is the result of national defense and excise taxes.
 It was pointed out that no com- parison could be made between the increased cost of living and the in- creased average hourly earnings because of the fact that the in- creased average hourly earnings resulted primarily from increased employment and not from wage increases.

League Lies About Work
 Relief Costs
Difference Of 36% Between League and Government
 Statistics

WASHINCTON.-s'The National Economy League, in a clear-cut case of statistical misrepresenta- ton, is attempting again to con- demn million workers and their families to the breadline," F. H. Dryden, acting commissioner of work projects, charged here this week.
 In a clumsy attempt to smear the administrations policy of giving use full work to the unemployed, the league alleges that 41 per cent of work re- lief money goes into overhead. What the league advocates is directly in line with the age-old attempt to return unemployed people to a dole," he added.
 THE REAL FACTS
 Dryden said, the league arrived at its figure of Al per cent for overhead by including under this heading the cost of materials, the contributions of sponsors, and. even such items as dis ability compensation.
 ''This figure is completely at va- riance with the facts, which show that of the Federal dollar spent for work relief in 194l, 87 cents went for wages, 9.4 cents went for rna- terials and equipment, and only 3.6 cents went for administration,'' he asserted.

 MINNESOTA
 MINNEAPOLIS. - There have been more strikes in Minnesota since the passage of anti-strike legislation than before.
 This is not to say that Minnesota $ Labor Relations Act has created labor unrest. Other factors have entered into the labor situation here, including the rising cost of living.
 The fact remains, however, that in 1888 only 14,744 man-days were lost through strikes; in 1939, the year in which the act was passed, the number bounded to 59,795; in 194O, it was 99,- 228; and during the first six months of this year it was 54,450.
 The law provides that unions wait 10 days after filing notice of their in- tention to strike before actually walk ing out. Another wait of 30 days

because Mrs. O'Gradys past was an open
book, in which she had never done anything
wrong or remotely dishonest.
Her husband Vincent Henry O'Grady had
a fine record in the navy and later as a
member Of London's fire department. He had
been honorably retired but now in his eoun-
try's hour of need returned to fight bomb fires.
With all this blameless atmosphere none Of

acts of sabotage and spying, before she was
caught, to be convicted on eight counts and
receive death sentence
AS keeper Of a boarding house her posi-
ton was ideal for spying. The guests knew
that it was her duty to ask them certain
questions which they Loyalty answered and
many others which they did not know were

military reason but it was not good one
In order to get the information she sought
it would be necessary to discover at what
hours, how near, and where. a person could
approach the stronghold, without being chal-
lenged. All this she learned by shrewdly d-
recting her trusting guests
Yet she suspected followed and
trapped because Of the wide-awake loyalty of
one Of her guests, woman who suffered from
insomnia and often sat in the dark looking
out of her window. The guest noticed

and not returning until just before dawn.
Instead Of reporting to the landlady the
woman told it to the authorities.
And for some time nothing happened as
far as Mrs O'Grady could see. except that
luck seemed always to be with her She was
able to make maps without interference, see
things she had hardly hoped to view and over
hear some vital information. Then one day
last Fall the trap was sprung and Pamela
realized that for weeks she had been liking in
a FOOLS paradise with every move she made
watched and recorded.
The trial was held in secret and it is not
known how much true information got
through TO Germany and how much misin-
formation was carefully planted to confuse
the enemy or If any higher-up spies were
nabbed through her There is the report how
ever that her activities were linked up with
those of Charles Albert Van de Kieboom a
twenty-six-year-o clerk Of Dutch parentage
but born in Japan. Kieboom who was exc
cuted a few hours before Mrs. O'Grady's con-
uction. was an accomplice of two other Ger

the week before. The Dutchmans business
was to transmit information to Germany and
receive orders through secret radio set
The formal charges under the Treachery
Act against Mrs O'Grady were that on the
Isle of Wight she made a plan likely to
assist the military operations of the, enemy
and that with intent to help the enemy she
cut military telephone wire. Further. under
the Official Secrets Act she was charged with
approaching a prohibited place -Carisbrooke
Castle-and for a purpose prejudicial to the
interests of the state. making a plan which

might have been useful to the enemy 1t was
found further that she had in her possession
a document containing information in re-
spect of defense measures.
She was convicted also of sabotage for
cutting the telephone wire.
Mrs O'Grady remained sulen and indif-
fsrent when the judge passed sentence of
death on her with these words:
"On evidence that admits of no doubt the
jury has found you guilty of treachery and
for that crime the law prescribes but one
sentence"
On an appeal To the Court OF Criminal APP
peal the two charges under the Treachery Act
were quashed and so Mrs. OGrady escaped
the death penalty. This court was presided
over by Lord Caldecote the Lord Chief JUS
tice and the proceedings were held in secret
The Chief Justice sentenced her to only four
teen years penal servitude

However, this pittance is always supplemented
by promises Of fabulous bonuses If they do
something big.
But even if somebody made her believe
that she would be paid a million pounds as
soon as the Isle of Wight was occupied. this
