 While noting that both the OPA and the War Food Administration ''have fallen down on the iob,' Greens sharpest criticism was di- rected at Congress for it's appease- ment of the pro-inflation demands of the ''big farming combinations, cattlemen, distributors and pack ers."
 The AFL's fight for the retention of price subsidies and for the ap- prOval of price rollbacks to bring down inflated costs resulted in ''only partial victory he said.

Cut Prices Or Raise Wages Says Green

DETROIT.-A.F.L. Pres. William Green served notice this week that unless prices of food are brought down to reasonable level" organized labor will be forced to demand wage increases to keep pace with the cost of living. He spoke before a conven- tion of the Bro. of Maintenance of Way Employees (A.F.L.).
 Citing the impressive production record of America's war workers, Green scored the ''lack of apprecia- ton in our country" of the need for keeping workers adequately housed and fed and warmed that the food situation was rapidly creating "a dangerous emergency on the home front"
 America has failed to hold the line against infiatiOn," Green said bluntIy. ''Profiteers and specuIators are sapping the strength of the na- tiOn's army of workers. Drastic ac- tiOn must be taken at once to avert a breakdown of our wartime econ Omy.
 The American Federation of La Dor has made food price surveys in most of the principal cities of the nation. These surveys show that the cost of living has increased far out of proportion with the wage income of American workers. The average increase in the cost of living since the war started, even according to of flcial figures, exceeds 25@o. But these
