lions to collect taxes, or to rent

Sunday the pastor presented
the church a deed TO . happy

COnnentSV ' OThis That
By ROBERT B. BICKEL

CONNECTICUT LABOR was justly praised by two of the states congressman in letters to Peter Benard on the COnnally anti-labOr measure. Rep. Vim. J. Miller de- clared that ''every member of the Conn. delegation is honestly proud of the record of Labor for keeping its promise in every way" Rep. Ranulf Compton, New Haven, stated that he was aware of the 'unsullied reputation"-o of our labor organizations.
 THIS IS REASON enough .Uhy Connecticut representatives, should esert GH pOsUer at their command to protect labor from the viciOus bills Of COnnaIIy and Smith.
 JACK GOODWILL, president of Hartford Aircraft Local TAB, LAM. at the Hamilton Standard PropeI. Iers Corp, was on the air Sunday. He was interviewed on the WJZ's Soldiers of Production program. on the work of the LabOr-manage. ! ment Committee at the plant. which is nationally ly known. Good. will is co-chairman of the commit. tee.
 MORE THAN I,5OO.OOO union label cigarettes are being contrib uted daily by members of labor unions in the U. S., to soldiers on the fighting fronts, l. M. Ornburn, secretary-treasurer of the Union Label Trades Department of the ALL, has announced.
 REP. MILLER frankly stated in letter bn the Connally-Smith bill that labor legislation introduced or supported by members of Con- gress from the deep South is not proposed for the benefit of organ ized labor. True as this is, it is not matter of geography that accounts for the anti-labOr stand of a great many Southern representatives at W asnlngtOn. It IS matter Of the pOll-tax which disfranchises most of the people who don't like reac- tionary legislators.
 THE POLL-TAX thus becomes the concern of all citizens of the United States. Northern labor can- not-and for the most part does nOt-take a political isolatiOnist' s stand on the poll-tax simply be- cause it does not directly affect it.
