PHILADELPHIA.-This city now has a labor candidate for mayor against William C. Bullitt, former am- baSsador to France. He is Jules C.. Abercaugh of Local 5, Intl Jewelry Workers Union (A.F.L.), and thor ough-going supporter of Pres. Roose- velt's war policies.
 Abercaugh consented to run after 1t became apparent that the only real opposition to Bullitt's candidacy would come from labor. Now that the IL, CI.O. and Railroad Brotherhoods have vehicle for joint political ac- ton, there is strong possibility of electing their own candidate for mayor Philadelphia has voting pop ulation of around 100000, of which more than half could be rallied around a strong labor candidate.

Labor Participation In Post War Plans Urged By
 Clerkin

Pres. James J. Clerkin in his re- port to the 58th convention of the Conn. Federation of Labor praises the all-out efforts of /AFL labor in the state, and urges equal co-opera- tlon in the postwar program of the American Federation for winning the peace
 ''There has been organized in Washington and in this state post war commissions on which labor is represented. I recommend that the incoming executive board take steps to hold meetings with central labor union groups, so that there may be a uniform understanding on all problems concerning the workers in this country" he de- cIared.
 Clerkin asserted that the Little Steel Formula" of the War Labor Board broke the no-strike agreement between the A.FL. and the United States Government.
 He struck out at the freezing of wages while cOst-of-living prices continued to advance. ''YOur ex- ecutive board is recommending to the convention that action be taken on this question:" he announced, adding, 'I recommend that the cen- tral labor unions of the state send protests to the President of the United States concerning this or der."
 Despite vicious attacks of labor baiters, members of organized labor in Connecticut have accomplished outstanding results on the production line, and the building trades men done a remarkable job on the con- version and war housing program, Clerkin pointed out. Moreover many building mechanics have enlisted in the Seabees or the Army Engineers.
 SsI appeal to you as representa- lives of the various A.F.L. organ izations in this state to continue your splendid record. We have re- ceived more awards for our war production activities than the work CTS in any other state,'' he said.
 Clerkin said that A.FL. groups should never endorse political parties but should follow the traditional pol icy of the AF.L.: election of labor's friends and the defeat of its enemies.
 ''I have always taken the stand that trade uniOnism is an economic movement; not a political instru- ment. Activities of labor unions in politics should be related to the measures which enable trade un- ions to function freely in economic problems"
 Clerkin praised the work of John J. Egan both as the secretary-treasurer and the legislative agent of the Fed eration, adding that Connecticut la Dor was fortunate i'll not having legis- lation enacted that was detrimental to its best interests
 He recommended continuation of the publication of the ComecticM FederationiSt by the GEL.

Labor Urged
 To Fight For Racial Unity
Mayor Murphy Asks GEL For Stand Against
 Discrimination

Connecticut labor was strongly urged this week by Mayor John W. Murphy, New Haven, to gc on record in opposition to racial and religious discrimination.
 Mayor Murphy, in addressing the Tuesday afternoon session of Conn. Federation of Labor, de plOred the fact that citizens of this country are being subjected to dis crimination, and urged labor to join the chorus of protest against prejudice and bigOtry.
 That anyone should be the victim ot discrimination in a free country al any time is reprehensible and it i, especially so now when we are en- gagged in the most terrible war of all time. Harmony and unity of actior and ot purpose are necessary for the defeat of our powerful and unscrupu- lous enemies"
 The Mayor pointed out that all citizens are now called upon to share the common dangers and sac. ritices, and declared that all should enjoy the privileges and benefits of this country, unabridged and without penalty.
 Il believe that it would be timely and helpful for this convention to taK, a strong stand on this question and bv resolution declare its opposition t( discrimination against any person be cause of his race or religious af filiation."
 He lashed out at the Poll Tax and the Jim Crow trains in the South, and the segregation and re. strictiOn of opportunities of Negro Americans in the North and throughout the nation.
 Mayor Murphy showed how the Nazls and Fascists stirred up re. ligious and race hatreds to divide thei1 people and to install themselves if power in order to make war on the world.
 The Nazis began their drive against the Jews by campaign of islander and suppression of rights. This drive against one religious minority turned out to be murderous campaign against all faiths.
 The Mayor affirmed that the ma jority of the American people believe in freedom and fair treatment of all citizens. Unfortunately, there are many who would restrict the rights of those whose color or religion they do not like.
 ''Labor should use its influence to preserve America for everyone as place where liberty, equality and opportunity for all shall pre- vaiI,'' concluded Mayor Murphy.

NEW YORK-Hitler's unrelent- ing warfare against the Jews in his 10 years of power has reduced the Jewish population of Europe from 8,300,000 to little more than 3,O00,0OO, a 30O-page document issued by the Institute of Jewish Affairs reveals.

No Let-Up On
 War Urged At Convention
Hartford, New London, New Haven Central La Dor Unions Present Im-
 portant Resolutions

''All Out For Victory over our Axis enemies is the solemn pledge made by organized labor in this state at the 58th annual convention of the Cox necticut Federation of Labor, now in session at the Hotel Carde, New Haven.
 Holding its second cOnven- ton of World War II, a series of resolutions introduced by the Hartford, New London, and New Haven Central Labor Unions are expected to pro- vide the basis for the Fedora tiOn's program for the com ing year.
 "This IS labor's war and organized labor pledges its full est efforts to help our, armed forces bring about unconditional surrender of the enemy as quick ly as possible" asserts one reso- lution, presented by the New Haven Central Labor Council. (For full text of resolution, see editorial, "ThiS Is Our WW." -ED.)
 A direct slap at the Smith-C Con- nally Law is contained in resOlu- tiOns by the Hartford and New London Central Labor Unions. which call for reaf1irmatiOn of la- bOr's 'snO-strike'' pledge, despite the strike-prOvOking clauses in the Smith, COnnally Law. Repeal of the law is urged in number of resO- lutiOns, and is one of the recOm- mendatiOns of the FederatiOn's executive board.
 TsUO Of the major projects Of the AnIericGn Federation Of Labor are cOUered in the resolutions. One calls for the rOIIb0ck Of prices, sUhich the national executive cOun- cH Of the A.F.L. says is one of the chief issues nO,O confronting or gGnized labor. The second is the passage Of tue WGgneF-DingGII- Murray Social Security Act, sUhick sUiU help cushion the bIOsv of un- employment immediately after the ,UGr for both sOGr sUOrkeFs and re- turned members Of the armed forces. The AnIericGn Federation Of Labor has set uP q special cOna- nIittee to explain the purposes Of this LegisIGtiOn, and the national e1ecutiUe council Of the A.F.L. has instructed all stGte and city cen trGI bodies to sOOrk for its passage.
 The convention was opened shortly after II A. M. Tuesday by President Harold V. Feinmark of the New Ha- ven Central Labor Council, which is host to the Connecticut Federation of Labor. The invocation was given by the Rev. Edward J. Shea, pastor of St. Bernadette's Church, New Haven.
 Mayor John W. Murphy of New Haven, former vice-president of the Federation, formally welcomed the delegates to New Haven. Presi- dent James J. Clerkin then gave his presidential report, and was followed by John J. Egan, who read the minutes of the executive board meetings held during the year; his annual report as secre- tary-treasurer; and his report as legislative agent of the Federation.
 Wednesdays morning session was featured by an address by Joseph M. Tone, former Labor Commissioner of Connecticut, now leading official of the US. Department of Labor, who spoke as personal representative of Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins. Nomination of officers was scheduled for l2 noon, to, be followed at 2:30 by an address by Nornelius J. Danaher, State Labor Commissioner.

1.-THE first reaction, of course,
will be sharp decline in produc-
ton. This will be reelected i'm
mediately in employment in the

ings OF the producing companies
are not great enough to carry the
inflated payrolls for more than a
short time.
even if the product value of
aircraft contracts to $4,000, 900, 900
annually, drastic though it would
be, it would still leave aircraft
production among the first five
American industries"
In another survey, the Harvard
business school released figures
showing that II aircraft manufac-
turing companies made an aver

The Harvard group said the eff

it would have been if refunds were
not required, and that at the end
of last year the II aircraft com.
panies had a ratio of current as.
sets to current liabilities of los

future of the aircraft industry lies
