Hu|I's Advice SOUGHT
By Senators on Plan
To Send Europe Food
BY the Associated Press.

The advice of Secretary o1
State Hull was sought today tt
help the Senate decide whether
the military liabilities Of supply
ing food to some of the starving
millions in Europe outweigh the
humanitarian aspects.
Senators Gillette, Democrat, oi
iowa and Taft, Republican, Of Ohio
authors Of resolution urging estab-
lishment Of an immediate relief or
ganization, said they would confer
with Mr.. Hull next week.
I'm satisfied the majority Of the
committee (Senate Foreign Rela-
tions) will be willing to accept Mr..
Hull's decision, whatever 1t Is" Sem
ator Taft said.
Fresh from the Moscow confer
ence, where he had opportunities for
extended conversations with British
Foreign Minister Anthony Eden, Mr.
Hull now may have information on
Britain's attitude toward the project
Several witnesses have testified be-
fore the committee that the British
do not want any food sent to the
occupied countries, for fear that the
Germans will benefit, at least, indi-
rectly.

shipped in the Germans would
merely create more starvation
and shortages He also said the
impression that the whole of oc-
cupied Europe Is In a condition of
famine Is entirely n1isleading.'D
Senator Gillette said there had
not been lone lota of evidence" In
hearings here to support that con-
tention.
Also replying to Britain's refusal
to relax its blockade, Herbert Hoo

the hunger of women and children,

fed before Foreign Relations

Would Use Same Setup.
Mr., Hoover asserted that he had
not contemplated the large and sys-
tematic relief of whole populations.
Instead" he said, I'VE have pro-
posed that relief be limited to the
destitute women and particularly to
the millions of undernourished and
starving children in Belgium, and
the western democracies; that it
be carried on under the same
Swedish and Swiss supervision
through existing soup kitchens and
under the same conditions by which
the relief of the Greeks is being
carried on at the present time. =" =
Furthermore. we have still
further limited our proposal by
suggesting that 1t should be put in
the form Of an experiment. That
is, that we should at least make
an effort to save, the lives of these
millions of children, and if it proved
of benefit to the Germans, then

Nations governments to stop it,

Here Is Report Of Executive Board

The executive board of the Con- necticut Federation of Labor this week recommended the following six-point program to the Federation's con- vention:
 ''l. That per capita be in- creased back to Sc.
 ''2. That convention be dis pensed with for duration of war.
 ''3. We strongly recommend the repeal of the Smith -Connal- ly bill, and appeal to all locals to back up our action.
 A. We strongly recommend that the War Labor Board adopt some formula more equitable in wage adjustments than the Lit tie Steel Formula.
 $. We recommend that we oppose any further relaxing of our labor laws.
 ''6. We recommend that La bor and Industry cooperate fully to see to it that returning mem bers of the armed forces be re stored to their former positions"
 BALDWIN CRITICIZED
 In addition to the recommendations of the executive board, a series of reso- lutions presented by local unions and central bodies are before the conven- ton for action. Outstanding is reso- lution which criticizes Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin for opposing the passage of the State Labor Relations Act al the last session of the Legislature.
 ReaffirmatiOn of labOr's ''nO- strike" pact is urged by the Hart ford Central Labor Union. The New Haven Central Labor Council the ''anti-labor, anti common people voting record of the Congressman from its district. Major Ranulf Compton.

State AZ. L. Pledges "Au For Victory
Resolution Blames Governor Baldwin

Signed by more than 100 of the 25O delegates, the Con. necticut Federation of Labor convention, meeting this week at the Hotel Carde, New Ha. ven, has a resolution before it which blames ''the Repub- lican Party and Governor Ray. mOnd E. Baldwin for the failure of the last session of the Legislature to pass the State Labor Relations Act.
 The resolution, sponsored by the State Association of Motion Picture Machine Operators and Stage Elm pIoyes, follows:
 WHEREAS, The Connecticut Federation of Labor in Convention has for several years adopted as its major piece of legislation, a State Labor R lations Act.
 WHEREAS, The Connecticut Federation of Labor has pressed for its enactment in law at the 1889, 194l, and l943 sessions of the Legislature without success.
 WHEREAS, In 1889 it was the claim of members of the Legis- Iature that Labor itself couldn't decide on any one bill. In l94l it was claimed by both parties that the other was responsible for its failure of passage. In l942 it was claimed that the time was not just right.
 THEREFORE BE IT RE- SOLVED: That it is the opinion of this Convention that the responsi- bility for the defeat of the State Labor Relations Act, as submitted by the officers of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, acting under instructions of the l942 Convention of the Connecticut Federation of Labor in the l943 sessions of the General Assembly; be and hereby is placed upon the Republican Party, and upon Governor Baldwin because despite his campaign pro- misses in which he stated that he advocated the adoption of State Labor Relations Act; when it be- came time for him to declare him. self to the Republican leaders in the Assembly, he stated that he felt that this was not the appropri- ate time to pass such a law; and that if labor pushed for the pass age, that restrictive legislation might result. This statement gave the Republican leaders in the As sembIy the opportunity to hide, un. der the cover of the Governors words and vote against the bill, thereby killing it.
 ssBE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That when records are sent out dur ing the Republican campaign of 1944, the members of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor in this state be so informed"

Egan Leaves Decision To 
GEL. Secretary Is Offered Important Labor Dept.
 Post By Baldwin

Delegates of the GEL. cOnven- ton were asked this week to decide whether John J. Egan, secretary treasurer, should accept an offer by Gov. Baldwin to become execu- tive director of the Unemployment Compensation Division of the State Labor Dept.
 In his annual report to the con- vention Egan posed the predica- ment he faces as a member of the International Association of Machin- ists, which has withdrawn from the American Federation of Labor.
 He asked the delegates to decide in event they re-elect him for his twenty-frst term, if he shall serve the term out or face expulsion in event the A.F.L. at its convention in October orders the Machinists ex- pelled from State Federations.
 As an alternative, he asked the convention to decide whether or not he should accept the Govern OTIS offer.
 ''In all fairness to everyone con- cerned," said Egan, ''the question should be decided at this cOnven- tiOn. The situation should not be left to drift in hope that some miracle may happen at the A.F.L. Convention that wouldn't require us to take actiOn."
 Egan discussed at some length the problems facing organized labor and particularly A.F.L. labor in Connec- ticut. He expressed his own opinions on the major war agencies affecting labor.
 ''I have never believed in the Lit tie Steel formula as far as COnnec- ticut is concerned" he said.
 "If we must have OP.A., we are willing to cooperate; in fact, we highly recommend the decentraliza- tion of the O.P.A. boards" he says.
 Freezing of wages certainly has worked a great injustice on many members. The cost of living contin- ues to rise" Egan declared that he had little faith in the effort to roll back prices.
 He reported that many members of organized labor throughout the state were giving unsparingly of their time and effort as members of the rationing, selective service and other war boards.
 The assets of the Conn. Fedora tion are some $18,000, he reported. The 1942 convention voted to reduce the per capita from five to four cents in hope that the lower assess ment would induce unahiliated locals to join the Federation. This hope did not materialize.
 The threatened loss of the Ma chinist's locals would cut deep into the revenue of GEL, said Egan.

Minotti Holds
 Building Men
 Are Essential

The placing of building trades men in the essential industry classi- fication by the War Manpower Commission is sought in resOlu- ton introduced at the convention of Conn. Federation of Labor by Michael Minotti, business agent and delegate from Local 2, Bridge port Bricklayers.
 Minotti, who is president of the State Conference of Brick1ayers, and of the Bridgeport Building Trades Council, and a member of Selective Service Board 22-B, Fairfield County, told THE UNION TIMES this week that a serious shortage of bricklayers exists throughout the state.
 He attributed this shortage to the induction of bricklayers into the armed forces, heavy enlist ments in the Seabees, and recent shift of many building tradesmen to war plant jobs. This shift has resulted from lack of clear defi- milton of the status of the trades men, he said.
 Minotti pointed out that there are not enough bricklayers to do the construction work necessary for war conversion and civilian welfare. He cited Bridgeport, where 60 bricklayers are available for construction work re- quiring 300 men, as an example of the situation.
 MinOtti advised all building trades mechanics, on receipt of their draft reclassifcation, to noti- fly their employers and their busi- ness agents of the changes in their status. This will afford the con- tractor the opportunity to file request for temporary deferment if they are on highly important work.
