 DEFEAT ANTI-LABOR DRIVE
 ''Hard earnest work will have

Minotti Shows Seasonal Nature of Trades Respon-
 sible For Low Incomes

All of Bridgeport's building trades unions are now negotiating with the general contractors of the Park City for a higher wage scale in order to meet the rising cost of living. Michael T. Minotti, presi- dent of the Bridgeport and State Building Trades Councils, points out the seasonal nature of the trades which actually makes total wages earned for the year much lower than the hourly rates indi- cate.
 HOURLY RATES
 Present hourly wage scales are bricklayers, masons and plasterers' $1.5O; electricians, $1.5O; plumbers and steamftters, $1.37a; sheetmetal workers, $1.5O; carpenters, $1.37A painters, SIPS; building laborers, .9o fathers, $150; iron workers up to $1.80.
 In view of the season there IS sui ficient defense defense work to keep the majority of the union members active with more work expected soon There is little or no non-defenSe work being done.
 TRADES COOPERATE
 All the trades are cooperating with the civilian defense authorities with individual members assigned to different phases of the program. Each local has bought from $8OO to S5OOO in Defense Bonds. All building trades business agents are meeting regularly to discuss new ways of cooperation on defense.

few days after Secretary of Agri-
culture Wickard had expressed his
approval of subsidies at another
Chicago farm meeting. Mr.. Wickard
said he looked on subsidies first as
means Of increasing production
and secondly as an anti-inflation
control to keep down the price of
food.
Urges A-Hour Week,
Mr.. O'Neal recommended today
that the basic work week in the
United States be stepped up from
20 to 81 hours week for the dura-
ton of the war, and that conscrip-
ton Of labor should be resorted to
only as last resort.
Farmers are perfectly willing and
glad to work 10 to 80 hours a week
to produce the additional food and
fiber needed =" he said. They
believe other groups should do like
wise in order to prevent imitation in
this critical emergency"

0'NeaI AssaiIs Plan
To Peg Retail Prices
Through Subsidies.
Rising Federal Expense
Called Greater Threat
Thon Cost of Food
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. g. Edward A.
ONeal, president Of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, charged
today that the rising cost of Gov
eminent was "a much greater threat
to the people" than the cost OF food.
Attacking the proposal to keep re-
tail prices down through subsidy
payments, he said it was hard for
farmers to understand why con-
sumers, when their income was at
an all-time high, should expect the
Government to pay part of their
food bill.
He referred specifically to the sit
uation. in the New York milkshed,
where he said the Government was
buying the entire fluid milk supply
and reselAng it to consumers at
loss.
Speaks at Convention.
Mr.. O'Neals statements were made
In an address at the opening of the
farm federation's Oath annual con-
vention. The big agricultural Or
ganization claims a membership of
SOL 900 farm families.
IF this New York; action by the
Government means the beginning
OF q grand. national plan for. sub
sidizing consumers, then farmers
should be gravely concerned" he as
serted. If consumers are to be sub
sidized now, when food is cheap in
relation to wages, what about the
readjustment period following the
war, when wages may be much lower
and unemployment again a prob
lem?"
Mr.. O'Neal's position on the sub
sidy question was made public only

mand that only cities or parts of
cities judged as legitimate military
detectives may be bombed.
Hence we must shamefully regret
the statement made in the Senate
by a vengeful Senator declaring
that: "These cities are open to at
tack and when we are ready we
shall burn them off the face of the
earth" America has never waged a
war in the spirit of revenge and we
do not think the American people
are prepared to do so now. We must
have no war aims other than to
right wrongs and to restore to every
man, woman and child in our enemy
countries their God-given rights
the right to life, to happiness and to
justice, and the right to worship
God as their conscience dictates. To
aim lower is to degrade our cause,
and with less noble detectives we
shall lose this peace as we lost the
last.
THE MYSTERIOUS NUN
Surely you have heard the story.
We heard it first some months ago
from very pious old lady and since
we have heard many versions of it
IN many -ff7 7lsaee eS with each version
adorned with local colorlng ana
background. In fact it has now be-
come so widespread that out in
Chicago the New World offered COM
ment on it recently.
Essentially and without the color
full and romantic details, the story
relates how two soldier boys of New
York City, after identifying them
selves as Catholics, offered ride to
a Sister who was laden with bundles
and waiting for a bus. In the course
of their conversation and as they
neared their destination the nun is
reported to have told them that the
war would be over in three months.
(Some versions have it three years.

Catholic Thought And Opinion
By REV. JOSEPH F. DoNNELLY

Then as the boys stopped the car
to let the nun out-behold she had
disappeared.
The destination of the nun in the
story is supposed to have been
Mother Cabrini Hospital in New
York City and, from pictures, she is
supposed to have been identified by
the boys as this holy woman, Mother
Cabrini, whose cause for cononiza-
ton has been placed. But the hitch
in the story is that at the hospital
as in the locals of the various ver-
sions of the story, they know nothing
of the facts of the story. The
Religious there have had no report
of any appearances of Mother Cab
RIM and not only has the nun van
ished but the soldiers, too, are I'M
known.
A FOOLISH TALE
Such stories are curious out
growth of the religion that goes with
war. Men, seeking in mysterious
ways to learn the outcome of the
struggle, reach back to an obscure
past to learn the meaning of the
present. Another of the ressurected
tales from the past, and this one
has been given prominence Il the
secular press, is the prophecy of st.
Odile. The general statements of
that prophecy, however, were ap-
piled to the last war and before that
to the wars of Napoleon.
The great revelations of Christ
ianity ended with Apostolic times.
These spurious stories are a dis
credit to true faith. Not virtue but
rather lack of good sense is evil
denced in accepting without conf1r-
nation such groundless ramblings
of some wild imagination.
GERMAN ARMY REFUSES
TO SUPPORT THE GESTAPO
The English Catholic Press re-
Gently carried the startling story
from very reliable sources" of the
refusal of the German Army to
support the activities of Hitler's
Secret police. When the Gestapo at
tempted to seize two Bavarian abbeys
the hostility of the people was so
great that the police asked help CT
the army, but, as the report says,
"the German Army would not do
the Gestapo's dirty work"
The incident might be classed with
that involving Bishop Won Galen,
who, though he denounced the Ges-
tapo publicly, has not been seized
because it seems Hitler fears the
aroused anger of these people. These
are merely two incidents, but two
incidents which could not have
tfEen place in Germany two years
ago. And very probably they are
two incidents illustrative of the
murmurs &C widespread discomfort
which have been coming out OF
Germany very often of late.
Writing in the Feb. "a Look, En-
nest r. Pope states that Catholics
constitute the only non-Nazi group
of any T0TUE orr'-- size remaining in
Germany. AS such, they have long
plagued Hitler with the possibility
Of revolution. The basic tenetS OF
Catholicism are at utter variance
with the precepts of the Nazi new
order, and many Catholics have not
hesitated to make plain their loyal
ties lie
The unloosing Of suppressed feel
ings against injustice and terrorism
may yet be the most important
factor in our war with Germany
Not long ago Germany lost another
great war though not one foot of he1
territory had been lost to hel
enemies.

SHALL we Rome TOKYo2


In time of war both nations and
individuals confuse hate with anger.
But anger is not hate. With anger
our cause may be just, with hatred
1t becomes corrupt.
The treacherous attack of Japan
upon our country has aroused our
national wrath. That wrath is just
and righteous but 1t must not be
allowed to degenerate into hatred
or desire for ruthless revenge. The
system of government which has
made Japan menace to civilized
life must be destroyed, bat the in
articulate and unrepresented Japan
csc people have had no say in the
decision that has brought war to
themselves and to us, and to inflict
upon them unnecessary suffering is
barbarism.
