Consumers Union Sees
Growing Milk Shortage

NEW YORK-The milk shortage
is growing worse and unless the gov
eminent acts soon, it will become a
definite obstacle to the whole war
effort, Consumers Union reported
Nov. IS.
In New Jersey, dairy cows are
being slaughtered for meat, the Gu
says, and milk production there is
falling steadily. The state milk con-
troll director describes the situation as
dangerous. Connecticut has a definite
milk shortage but hopes to get
through the winter without an actual
famine.
One of the 2 largest New York
City distributors has cut cream de-
liveries by 1919 to the wholesale and
retail trade. San Francisco diaries
announced that bottled cream will no
longer be sold. Half cream and half
milk is offered as a substitute.
For the U. S. as a whole, Gu
reports, the civilian demand for but
ter is running 1870 ahead of 1941
while production is 10 below 1911.
Cheese production is 400 below last
year while demand is record-breaking.

Carpenters Keep Eye On WarBoo Building In BRIDGEPORT

Harold Barker, business
agent for the Carpenters Dis
trict Council of the Bridgeport
area, and a member of the
Bridgeport Housing Author
ity, told THE UNION TIMES
this week that extensive cree
ton of permanent housing i'm
war-bOOm areas might lead to
a serious Oversupply of hous-
ing in such areas following
the war.
BRIDGEPORT EXAMPLE
bridgeport is an example of
what can happen as the result of
the lack of foresight i'm war-bOOm
building" he said. During the
first World War, Bridgeport was
the first city in the country to get
Federal sponsored homes for war
workers. The government had then
caused to be built a large number
of permanent homes to care for
the dwelling needs of the great
inflow of war workers. Following
the war, Bridgeport was greatly-over-
built. AS the result the real estate
market and local building trades
men suffered for ten years..
Barker said that the federal gov
eminent might avoid repetition
of this state of affairs by construct
ing good temporary living quarters
to care for the housing needs of
the war workers. Following the war
the excess of housing could be re-
moved without any dire effects on
either the real estate market or the
employment of construction work
erS.
ERADICATE SLUMS
He also suggested that following
the war, or as soon as it is feasible
to do SO, slum dwelling should be
eradicated in equivalent number to
permanent homes constructed for
war workers, under local housing
authorities.
Since the low-cost slum clearance
housing program got under way IN
Bridgeport under the local Housing
Authority, there has been built in
Bridgeport a total of 1755 low-cost
units, for which, owing to the war
housing emergency, less than a 1000
slums units have been torn down. A
total of ZOO war worker housing
units have been erected in Bridgeport,
of which 1000 are inexpensive frame
dwellings. Six hundred are permanent
well-built brick homes. Another 500
well-constructed housing units are
under construction in Bridgeport.

NEW ORLEANS-For enjoining

without examining the facts in the
case, the U. S. District Court in
Mobile was rebuked by the U. S.
Circuit Court of Appeals, which void
ed the injunction. The decision in
volved the Init. Bro. of Transfers

"The district judge did not afirma-
lively find on this issue either that the
plaintiff had made, or had failed to
make every reasonable effort to settle
the dispute" the circuit court ruled.
Upon the undisputed evidence, he
should have found that it did fail,
and, so finding, should have denied
the injunction"

Real Rationing Is
Asked By Co-Ops

CHICAGO-Taking a position
similar to that of both the AFL and
CIO, the board of directors of the
Cooperative League of the USA has
called for rationing of all goods of
which there may be shortages before
these shortages develop.
This demand, the board said, is de-
signed as the first step by organ
lied consumers ito prevent shortages
and discrimination such as developed
when the WPB and the OPA delayed
coupon rationing of sugar and coffee
until waves of buying hysteria swept
those items from the shelves"
A conference to which the AFL,
CIO, Railroad Brotherhoods and all
other interested organizations would
be invited, has been authorized by the
coop board.

a new union-busting trick last week

against the State County & Municipal

union wired U. S. Surgeon Gen.
Thomas A. Parran that "dire and
serious results can take place from
such procedure
The 80 inmates, discharged as cured
and Immediately hired as attendants,
are getting $50 month, which is $40
below the existing minimum. Like
regular employees, they work 72-hour
week. The union, which is also or
ganizing other state hospitals where
scales are as low as $35 a month, is
seeking an $50 monthly minimum, a
48-hour week and improved food and
living conditions.
