qv HaVen Dveings Almost 1OO% Occupied S1mvey Sh0eu

A total of 98.6 per cent of all habitable dwellings in New Haven are occupied, accord ing to a sample survey made during the first and second weeks of February by the US. Dept. of Commerce. The sur- vey was conducted by the Bureau of Census at the re- quest of the National Housing Agency.
 99.9% OCCUPIED
 The inclusion, with the city of New Haven, of the neighbOring towns of East Haven, West Haven and Hamden resulted in occupancy rate of 99.9 per cent of rentable housing in the area. The gross vacancy rate for New Haven was IA per cent and for the entire area 2.4 per cent. A number of vacant units were either not on the rental market or were unfit for habitation.
 About four-fifths of the hab- itable vacancies in New Haven and two-fifths of those of the entire area were being offered for an average monthly rental of SIG, the government investigators found.
 This seems to indicate, local ob- servers state, that the few houses that are vacant and offered for rent are of the least desirable type.
 More than three-fourths of the hab- itable non-rented vacancies in the city and about one-sixth of those in the area were for sale Of the remainder, the largest number represented vacant summer homes in East Haven and West Haven, and the balance were held off the rental market for undis- closed reasons.
 In addition to the vacant dwellings, it is estimated from interviews with occupants that approximately 1,400 rooms in occupied dwellings were available for rent throughout the area These rooms, more than half of them HI tAAO Nltyt WCiO CAPCSlCQ lO d((Oill- modate some 1900 roomers.
 Figures gathered in the housing survey of New Haven were report ed to the Central Labor Council i'm a communication from Harry C. Bates, chairman of A.F.L. Housing Committee.
 ssThe facts reported" he said, sswiIl no doubt be valuable to your organization in making known the workers needs for adequate hous- ing to meet the needs of war pro- ductiOn.
 'sThis information is especially useful in connection with any questions of rent control that may come up in your community" ad- vised Bates.

Barker Attends Housing Meeting

Harold Barker, business agent of the Bridgeport District Carpen- ter's Council and members of the Housing Authority of the City of Bridgeport, participated in the re- giOnal conference of the National Association of Housing Officials, held in the Statler Hotel, Boston, April 8 and 9.
 Speaking in the discussion on some of the problems of war housing Barker strongly urged adequate site planning, so that difficulties that may arise will not have to be corrected later.
 The Bridgeport Authority, of which MT. Barker has been mem Der for more than five years now has under its management the larg- est program of war housing in New England, and in addition is under contract with the National Hous- ing Agency for managing the War Housing Center, which directs the placing of war workers in furnished rooms and family dwelling units.

Postal Clerks Worried Over Men Leaving
Fear Service May Be Inn paired; 20. Unions Meet
 With Mrs. Luce

About one-sixth of the normal working staff of the Bridgeport postal service are in the Armed Services. This together with the growing number of separations of additional employees, has members of Local 549, National Federation of Postal Clerks, Branch 32, Ma tional Association of Letter Car riers, worried lest the service in the Park City be impaired seriously.
 Representatives of the postal unions met last Saturday with Rep. Clare Boothe Luce and told her of their fears on this point They also ex- pressed deep concern over the action of the Director of the Budget in or dering reductions in the personnel of government agencies.
 The postal service, they stated, is asked by the Director of the Budget to furnish 50 per cent of the proposed reductions, while at the same time the Post Office Department is seeking special legislation to solve its man power problems. They asked a con gressional investigation be made of the Bureau of Budget.
 The Post Office men endorsed H.R. 2437 giving the Postmaster General authority to use postal clerks and city letter carriers inter- changably during the war emer- gency.
 As token of appreciation for her support of H. R. 1866 which provides mail men with a raise in salary, the Bridgeport representatives presented Mrs. Luce with a corsage of orchids.
 Representing the Clerks were George F. Dirgo, president; Ralph E. Nelson, vice-president; Abra- ham ROnkin, secretary; and Wal ter Oldham, fnancial-secretary.
 The Letter Carriers were repre- scented by Carol H. Hoist, presi- dent; Gerald Monement vice-presi- dent; John T. Brabner, secretary l;

.ILC Will Appeal
 Panels Award

NEW YORK; National War Labor Board panel recommendation granting 69o wage increase within the limits of the Little Steel formula to 65,OOO dressmakers here will be appealed to the W.L.B, Julius Hoch- man, general manager of the Dress makers Union, an affiliate of Intl. Ladies Garment Workers Union (A.F.L.), said this week.
 Hochnan declared that the union is entitled to a considerably bigger increase in wages even within the scope of the Little Steel formula and scored the panels failure to make the award retroactive, as has been customary in VILE. decisions.
 The recommendation was signed by two of the three panel members, with the labor member dissenting.

Gray, Impartial Chairman of the Painting and Dec orating Industry, after numerous hearings, awarded 12 cents an hour increase effective as of June 1, 1943, to the members of District Council g, Brotherhood of Painters, Decora- tors and Paperhangers, it was an nounced by Louis Weinstock, Secre- tary-Treasurer.

Compensation Legislation
 FiinallyPasses
Unemployment and Work men Laws Changes Await
 Governors Signature

The bills to improve the Work mems and the Unemployment Com pensation Acts have been passed by both Houses of the General Assem- bly and await the Governors sig nature to become law.
 The Senate passed the Work mems Compensation Act this week. Sen. James P. Ceelan (Dem. New Haven), objected, however, to the bill on the grounds that it does not go far enough. He argued for the creation of the state insurance fund as. advocated by the Conn. Fedora. tion of Labor.
 Both compensation measures were passed by a voice vote in the Senate after going through the House.
 Senators Joseph T. Rourke and Ceelan assailed the failure of the General Assembly to include cover age of all employees, when the Sem ate concurred with the House in adopting the bill revising Connecti- cuts Unemployment Compensation Law.
 Rourke called the situation "most unsatisfactory" and accused the Labor Committee of lacking foresight in the matter. Geelan said that no opposition to including all employers was voiced at the hearing before the Committee.
 In revising the JIG. Act the Com mittee had rejected the suggested amendment that the law be changed to require that all employers, instead of those hiring four or more be in cluded in the act.
 The act, barring veto by the Governor, which is not anticipated, adds $2 to maximum payments |; reduces the waiting period to one week, and provides other liberal ized amendments as reported in The Union Times on several oc- casions.
 After the hearing, Labor Committee Chairman Herbert Wanderer explain ed that H.B. 1285, a committee bill, was designed with the view to replac- ing Gov. Baldwin's War Order No. 2, the House passed and sent the meas ure to the Senate.
 This is the act that would auth Orize the Governor to permit work weeks of 55 hours, and lO-hour day, for women and minors, after such permission has been granted hv fho Cnr.aRossssonaw aF TrHo- Passage of this measure would re- store to the law governing the hours of employment the precise exception that existed when Gov. Baldwin took office. The counter part of H.B. l285 expired Feb. To-. I.t was scheduled to come up in the Senate this week.
