a good labor man, he came to the
N. Ell. Labor Temple and asked
Harry Feinmark where to report
his find. Harry looked at the name
ON the bond, and told Sloane it
wouldn't be necessary to bother the
Treasury Dept. The bond belongs
to John F. Gordon, a member of
Local "a, Printing Pressmen's
Union. The world may be small,
but the trade union movement is
large.
THE ALL. and Clio. have been
working hard i'm Washington to get
consideration for the small bust
nessmen who have been frozen out
of the war production picture by
the big business interests. The Con-
ference of American Small Bust

Their Cans-List of Bins Monday
THE HARTFORD CIVIC and
Economic Welfare Council has
rung the bell again in its effort to
protect war workers from over
rapacious landlords and provide
them with fair rentals. Last week
Leon Henderson ruled that hence
forth all purchasers of homes
would have to put up a one-third
down-payment, thus putting the
brakes ON evictions of war workers.
The Council protested against this
practice of putting war workers out
of homes in a letter to Henderson
about the housing situation in
Hartford, and it was also brought
to the attention of State O.P.A.
Director Chester Bowles who prom
ised to take it up with Henderson.
After Bowles saw Henderson. the
latter ordered a higher down-pay-
ment ON home purchases.
