Labor Unites In z States On
 Price Control
All Branches Unite Behind Pres. Roosevelt's Anti
 Imitation Drive

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-In a pow erful display of unity behind Pres. Roosevelt's war program, 154 dele gates from the A.F.L., CLIO. and Railroad BrOtherhOods in Missouri. Kansas, Arkansas. Oklahoma, Tex as, Louisiana and Iowa met here and adopted program of immedi- ate action to win the price control fight.
 The meeting, first of its kind in the country. was called by the regional O.P.A. in Dallas to consider further cooperation between O.P.A. and labor. Price control activities by the United Labor Committee GAEL, C.IO., Railroad Unions) in St. Louis are already bearing fruit. Half of the session was conducted by the O.P.A. and half turned over to the delegates.
 The program called for: CD a campaign of petitions calling upon Congress to back price control; CD public meetings with COngressmen during the recess to make Congress respond to the peoples wishes on home front issues necessary to SUD- port the war; (3) active involve ment of the union membership in price control enforcement, includ- ing use of union funds for the fight; (4) joint action with the farmers.
 To implement labor's political power behind the pressure on Con- gress, all local unions in the seven states were urged immediately to start campaign for registration of all their members for both pri- maries and general elections.
 Congress, the program said, must give full authority to the administra- ton, and the Office of War Mobiliza- ton, Office of Economic Stabilization and Office of Price Administration must act "fearlessly and without fur ther yielding to the pressure of op- ponents of price control"
 Five necessary points were listed: a subsidy program, grade labelling, dollars-and-cents ceilings at the Sept. l, l942, level, continued rent control and a strong O.P.A. The last point included a demand for the immediate removal of any of ficial weakening in his job.

Hartford Red Cross Seeks
 Labor Accord
Y.M.C.A., Too, Seeks Co., operation Of C.L.U.;
 Committees Named

In response to letter from the Hartford Chapter of the American Red Cross to the Central Labor Council, Sen. William A. Scott, president of the C.L.U., has ap- pointed himself and Herbert A. Miller, Local 559, Teamsters, to a committee to bring about a better understanding between labor and the Red Cross.
 This action followed a motion by the delegates at the last meeting after reading letter from the Red Cross, asking for closer cooperation. It was the second letter recently received by the central body from a local service agency seeking more friendly rela- tions. The Y.M.C.A. has invited the C.1.U. to send delegation to visit its new buildings, have lunch with its executives and talk over closer cooperation.
 The Y.M.C.A.'s invitation was ac- cepted when received. A committee will be appointed to visit the in- stitution. Labor and the association have been at odds over the non- union construction program of the Y.M.C.A., said Scott.
 Pres. Scott also announced the per sonnel of the A.F.L. United War Relief Committee which will work to increase labor's support of the city's United Community and War Fund Campaign
 In addition to himself, this com mittee includes: Sam Goldberg, Aircraft Lodge 743, I.A.M.; Will liam Morris, B-1Ol3, Electrical Device Workers; Miss Sylvia Sachs, 64S, Labor Department Employees ; and Timothy Crowley, 400, Mu- sicians.

Water Co. Rates
Continued from Page One,

age OIlGJ
 The appeal, prepared by Vincent P. DOoley and A. Frederick Mig none, bases its petition for the re- fund on ruling by the PUG. in October, l94l, that the rate in- crease was ''fatally defective'' be- cause the Commission failed to legally notify the interested parties.
 On the rate issue the appeal is based on the utilities commissions inclusion of federal war taxes in its rate-making base. The city contends that this procedure is contrary to the intent of the federal legislation levying those taxes.
 The city's appeal, seven-page, 2,2OO-word document sets forth that the Water Company presented its new rate schedule Oct 7, 1888, and that the PUG. approved this sched- ule Aug. IA, 1888. Public notice of the new rates was not given until a month later, Sept. IA.
 This announcement stirred the indignation of the citizens and the Central Labor Council intensified its fight for fair and equitable rates.
 After protests from the city and the citizens that the increase was violation of due process of the law in denying all interested parties an opportunity to appear against the increase, the Water Company agreed to ''hOld itself responsible until the matter was settled.
 One result Of the hearings was the P.U.C.'s admission that the increase was fatally defective" another was the utility commissions final ruling recently that the rate increase was just and reasonable,'' and that the company was under no obligation 10 refund approximately $2500OO to its customers.
