Labor Plaza Is Built Workers In Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA A.F.L. and CLIO. unions here have dedicated their joint outdoor canteen where service men and women will be entertained. More than 300 union members con- tributed the labor for the project, many giving up vacations, evenings and other free time
 The idea for the USO-LabOr Plaza was suggested by members of AFL and CIO unions. The Com munity War Chest gave $I6,8OO and the city S, 1000 and the unions guaranteed the construction work, the furnishings and the staff.
 Pres. Joseph Burke of the AFL Building Trades Council supervised the work, which included excava- ton, pipe laying, carpentry and other trades. When other union leaders came to inspect progress, he got them to don overalls and pitch in. All accepted any task. Plas- terers painted chairs. Carpenters helped with the wiring and pipe fit- ters became handymen.

Tiny Drop ln| Living Costs Is Recorded l
Two-tenths Of l Per Cent Reduction First Since
 Pearl Harbor

WASHINGTON-The use of sub sidies to roll back the price of butter 109o, and the drop in fresh vegetables due to seasonal declines augmented by victory garden production, caused 8 drop in the cost of living for city workers of .29o in the month ending June IS, Sec. of Labor Frances Per kins announced this week. It is the first month to show a reduction ir living costs since a year before Pear Harbor.
 Food prices as a whole, making up more than 4O9o of the cost-Of. living index, as figured by the Blu. reau of Labor Statistics, declined .89o. Prices of canned fruits and vegetables declined .5% as a result of OPA placing dollar-and-cents ceilings on many items in many large cities in May.
 ''Prices of meats were generally unchanged, slight increases for beef, lamb and fish being balanced by slight decreases for DOT and chickens" said the report.
 This led to speculation as to whether the extra lO9o reduction in prices of beef ordered for super markets doing business of 25O,OOO or more a year which are members of the large chains, is being en. forced. The reduction followed a legal price hike.
 The cost of living index now is 23.89o above January, 1941, and 7.6% above May, 1942, when OPA initiated retail price control. A committee ap- pointed by the American Statistical Assn. at the request of the Dept. oi Labor is reviewing the official cost of living index, to revamp 1t accord ing to wartime needs. Labor research experts have declared it outmoded
 A survey is under way in low priced stores which will provide more complete information on the fooc prices paid by the way earner anc clerical group than is ordinarily af. forded by the Bureaus regular price collections" a recent Labor Informa. tion Bulletin said.

 Labor Unites On Poll Tax
Au, CIO, And Railroad Brotherhoods Issue A
 Joint Statement

NASHVILLE Tenn. - Tennessee workers, who fought through their unions to force poll taxe repeal through the Legislature only to have 1t declared illegal by the Supreme Court here, have closed ranks to be- gin the fight anew.
 Six major labor groups signed a joint statement in Nashville saying that ''labor has just begun to fight. The statement charged that the recent supreme court decision killing the poll tax repeal in Ten nessee was ''political'' and was ''based neither on the constitution nor on democratic principles
 The statement asserted that the Zen tire organized labor movement of the state of Tennessee has been on record as favoring abolishing the poll tax as a prerequisite for voting. We do not believe there should be any hampering provision placed around the ballot that would prevent its unfettered use by the elector."
 Signers of the statement were: T. o. Denham, legislative chairman, Tennessee Federation of Labor; Paul R. Christopher, Knoxville, president Tennessee Industrial Un- ion Council; W. W. Johnson, Nash vile, chairman, legislative board, Bro. of Locomotive Engineers; s. A. Para, Memphis, legislative representive, Bro. of Railroad Trainmen; H. V. Reid, chairman, Legislative board, Bro. of Locomo- tive Bremen & Enginemen; Rob- ert Mitchell, EtOwah, chairman, leg islative board, Order of Railway Conductors.

 "You voted for the Ruml plan, which was an outright gift of eight billion dollars to the wealthy and the great corporations of the Unit ed States.
 "You voted for the Hobbs so-caIl- ed Anti-Racketeering Bill, despite the fact as you we'll know, that or ganized labor in Connecticut has not had the finger of suspicion pointed at it.
 "You voted against subsidies, all though you know that labor's wages are frozen, and that the price of living continues to rise.
 ''You voted for the Smith-Con nally Bill, although Connecticut has not had serious labor dispute since Pearl HarbOr.
 Representing as we do some thirty-five thousand organized work CTS in New Haven and vicinity; and representing the interests of all workers, organized or unorganized, we are at loss to understand why you have consistently joined with the Southern poll tax Congressmen, and with such men as Congressman Clare Hoffman and others of his kind in obstructing the policies of our cOmmander-in-chief, President Roosevelt. No other congressman from Connecticut has been so con- sistently anti-labOr and anti-cOm- mon people as yO uhave been, as indicated by your voting record.
 You, Congressman Compton, are supposed to represent all of the peo- pie of your district We sincerely be- lieve that your voting record indicates that you think you are supposed to represent only those i'll the higher brackets. We will welcome an expla- nation from you"

 Rep. Compton commented after the closed conference that he was not prepared at the time to an- swer fully their comments on his voting record, but would later.
 ''But,' he said, ''my actions and votes in Congress, to my point of view, were for the best interests of the nation as a whole and there fore for my district.
 ''I will never be subservient to pressure groups. But 1 am happy to see these men here interested only in presenting their arguments in fair and man-tO-man way"

N. Y. Carpenters
 Head Gives Views

s'Victory itself depends on all of the United Nations work ing as a team, not only now, but in the postwar world, " Pres. Charles Hanson of NY. State Council of Carpenters declares in a signed article in the, current issue of the Car penters Edition of the Build ing Trades Union Press.
 Hanson, who is head of 42,OOO carpenters through New York State, one of the largest and most powerful afiliates of the State Federation of Labor, made this statement during the course of a highly laudatory review of Wendell Willkie's book "One World"
 ssIn the labor movement, we have learned the lesson that fin unity there is strength" Hanson writes. ssThat is the reason why working men band together in unions of their own. Willkie and Lippman and the others who urge building a secure postwar world on the foundation of the United Nations pact are trying to teach us that we must apply these lessons to the whole world.''
 Hedging complete unity behind our Commander Chief for the final, decisive Battle of Europe" the carpenter chief warns that "al at tenpts to divide and split the United Nations by spreading islanders against any of our great Allies not only jeopardizes the peace but the ac- tual winning of the war" He stresses that victory can only be achieved by full coalition warfare with the Rus sians hitting Hitler from the East while we sock him from the South"
 The lessons of Willkie's book must be taken to heart by all of us. he says. And these lessons boil down to one main fact that, in peace as III war, there must be "equal partnership of all the United Nations"
 Wendell Will1ie visited our fight ing allies all over the globe" the ar ticle states. "He saw Montgomery's men on the eve of their great offen- sive that swept Rommel out of Nortf Africa
 ssIn Russia, Willkie found that Soviet society is an effective SO ciety.' somewhat like what our Own West must have been during frontier days. He also found that the Russia is i'm this war with us to the finish and that after the wal it is not only possible but necessary to work peacefully together with her. ...
 China, he discovered, does not aim at empire. All she wants IS freedom and peace to develop her own natural resources. We can have the friend Hest kind of relations i'll the future with China, If only we do not insist on treating her as a downtrodden col ony instead of as an equal member of the United Nations
 And he concluded:
 ''The majority of the American people now think along these lines it is my firm belief. They realize that only by building a postwar world based on the recognition Oi the fact that we are all part Ot sOne World can we defend our Own national interests"

food raised in the backyard will
free that much farm-g grown food to
go to our boys overseas or in camps
here or to go to our Allies. Grow
