 Days O.P.A. Notice

Price Administrator Leon Hen- derson this week gave Bridgeport and vicinity 60 days to restore Sin hated'' rentals to proper levels more in line with rents paid on April l, l94l, or face the proba- bility of Federal action to establish rent ceilings. Howard I. Comstock, secretary of the Bridgeport Fair Rent Commission, cited the Gre cent unwillingness of many land- lords to cooperate" for the ikeli- hood of Federal intervention. Gov. Robert A. Hurley has indicated that he will not call special session of the General Assembly to enact state rent control legislation as request ed by the Park City Commission.
 DEFENSE RENTAL AREAS
 In his first official action to bring down inflated rents, Henderson des- ignated Bridgeport and vicinity as defense rental area. The area in- cludes Bridgeport, Easton, Fairfield, Shelton, Stratheld, Trumbull, and Westport. Hartford and New Britain and vicinity was the other Connecticut area to receive like notification and similar designation. In all 20 defense rental areas were warned throughout the country.
 COmstock's statement made after receiving Governor Hurley's reply, says in part, ''. ultimately it seems, judging by the recent un- of many landlords to the situation must fall back upon the Federal power which will be exercised when needed here, through the instrument of Fed eral rent controller"

This week Clerkin was sitting with Local $40, Cafeteria Workers Union of Hartford, in negotiations with the Pratt & Whitney cafeteria lodged in- side the plant. Clerkin assisted the local in its recent NLRB victory in the plants restaurant Thomas J. Dur min, international representative of the Cooks & Walters, together with a committee of cafeteria workers were closeted with Attorney Wilfred Lund-- borg, representing the proprietor. Clerkin reports progress.
 In the. Judd election, John Colman, international representative of the union and Business Agent Morse of the Wallingford local worked with C1erkin in the drive that led up to the victory.
 Plant Superintendent James Nc Kenna pleaded with his employees in a circular letter mailed prior to the vote, to consider what they were doing and, pointing out how 'sfair he had been" to them. He also started mass meeting in the company yard the day of the vote. Prompt action by Clerkin who brought a board examiner to the scene squelched this anti-union tactic.

Will Appeal. ToMcLevyOn Appointment
Iron Workers, 424, Respect ing Building Trades Picket
 Line On Bridge
By PETER BENARD,

(President Bridgeport CLU)
 With $l9,8OO in Defense Bonds purchased by Bridgeport locals af- filiated to the American Federation of Labor, the Bridgeport drive to have labor contribute its share to- wards the conduct of the war in line with President William Greens Washington's Birthday nationwide broadcast appeal, continues un- abated. Local 488, Electricians, has purchased $lO,OOO worth of this total.
 Other purchases were made by the Painters Union, 5000; the Bridge port Federation of Musicians, $1, 500; Local 252, Typographical Union, $500; Local 115, Carpenters, $3,000; Local 277, Motion Picture Operators, $2,0O0, and Bartenders, $1,000.
 TO SEND PROTEST
 Although the Central Labor Union sent five names, including those of Mike Minnetti, president of the Bridgeport Building Trades Council, and Ann Resell of the Corset Work CTS, to Mayor Jasper McLevy to con- sider for appointment to the sugar rationing board, no member of organ ized labor was appointed. The Gen. tral Labor Union is drafting letter of protest to the Mayor dealing with this oversight.
 Local 424, Iron Workers, under the leadership of Business Agent David Mccormack, is respecting ahe Building Trades Council picket line thrown around the East Wash ington Avenue bridge construction job being done with non-union building laborers by the Wilson Construction Company.
 The Stevedores Union want it known that the City Lumber Com pany is the only Bridgeport firm i'm the lumber field employing un- ion stevedores.
 Clad to hear the New Haven Gen. traI Labor Council kept President Harold V. Feinmark in office. Not many better men than Harold.
