Be Sure Hear
This Broadcast!

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The
United States Treasury Depart
ment is cooperating with the
American Federation of Labor
in sponsoring a special nation
wide radio broadcast on the
N.B.C. red network on Saturday,
June Is, at 1O:l5 PM. This
will be the first time that one Of
the regular weekly series, Labor
for Victory, sponsored by the
AFL and the CLIO, goes ON the
air in full sponsorship with a
government war agency.
While details of the program
are still secret, it will be aired
from Washington and Holly
wood, and it will include ma
tional figures and name band.
The program is expected to pro-
mote many phases of the war
effort, in addition to boosting
the AFL's drive to top its an
nounced quota of a billion dol
lars in war savings bonds.

Rent Freezing Order Efec.
tive July l Will Prevent
Profiteering

With New Haven rents scheduled
to go back to the April, 1941 levels
on July l, workers in this area will
appreciate the governments freezing
order more with the knowledge that
only $50 of the city's $4,000 dwelling
units are usually vacant, according to
a sample survey made by the WPA
Division of Research and Statistics
in cooperation with local WPA
Offices. Only .746 of the 5000 units
in the greater New Haven area which
includes East Haven, West Haven and
Hamden are usually available.
The foregoing figures show that
the freezing order prevents the
profiteering by landlords which the
ordinary application of the law of
supply and demand called into
practice during the past year. The
New Haven Fair Rent Committee,
with no power to enforce its de-
cisions, was unable to prevent rent
gouging and the area was recently

For Free Italians

NEW YORK CITY. William
Green, President of the American
Federation of Labor, recommended
that the Free Italian movement re-

tended to the Free French and other
similar causes.
He says: "There are many thou
sands of Italian-born people in the
United States who hold the point of
view we have repeatedly expressed
in opposition to Mussolini and fas-
cism. No one acquainted with the Free
Italian movement can justifably des-
ignate you or those associated with
you as enemy aliens"

.Layoffs Are
Deferred By
Milk Firms
WLB Intervenes AS Team
sters Show patriotism"
Means More Profits

NEW YORK-At the request of
the National War Labor Board.
local milk firms have deferred their
prOfit-building layOff plan. The
plan, calling for every-Other-day
milk delivery, would result in the
firing of 5000 of New York's
$4,000 milk drivers, the Inter-
national Brotherhood of Teamsters
contends. 1t also would have meant
a drastic reduction in service to the
understanding public.
UNION GIVES FACTS
The companies excuse for the plan
was an order of the Office of Defense
Transportation calling for ESQ reduc-
ton in mileage for all rubber-tire
vehicles. The union countered by
pointing out that the companies "own
sufficient horse-drawn and electrified
equipment which, if brought into use,
would more than meet the required
savings in gasoline and rubber asked
by the ODT."
Hailing the boards Intervention,
IBT Vice-President Michael L. Cas-
hal wired NWLB Chairman William
FL. Davis: ''We are pleased to sub
init the entire matter of milk de-
liveries to your unbiased board for
review. We realize that when you
delve into the problem you will find
that the Interpretation of the Oper-
ating companies to the ODT order
to curtail the use of rubber and
gasoline has been used as an excuse
to cut American workers from their
source of income under the guise OF
patriOstism."

Union Shops Sign
BARRIERS Contract

With all union barber shops signed
UP 1000 to the new contract raising
the minimum weekly wage So and
adding 1919 to the commission rate
above the $38 intake mark, Local us,
New Haven BARRIERS will take any and
all action necessary to sign up all I'M
fair shops in New Haven and vicinity.
Secretary Treasurer Frank Violante
announced this week. A number of
the previously unfair shops have al
ready signed the standard agreement.
The new agreement raised the
minimum weekly wage for journey
men BARRIERS from $25 to $28 and
lacked the commission rate to 600
of all money coming in above $38
each week.
Anthony Merlino, Third Vice
President of the international
Union of Journeymen BARRIERS ;
Frank Spadola, Local 2l5 -presi-
dent; Jerry Ciavante, recording
secretary, Violante and contract
committee members Joseph D'Eu-
genio, John Marotola, Joseph De-
Felice, Lorenzo Cimmino, Thomas
Ferraiolo, Pat Langella, Joseph
Carognano, Daniel Cianattasio,
John opposite and Val Tramontano
are given the most credit by the
membership for the success of the
Union in concluding new agree
1nents with the union shops.
Violante points out that the new
price scale of 60c for haircuts and
SOC for shaves makes the new wage
scale possible and eliminates any
economic excuse the unfair shops
might have for not signing. He also
asked all union members and their
families to patronize only the union
shops.
If no union shop card is ON dis
play, he said, you can be sure the
shop is unfair. And be sure the
kids patronize a union shop.
