It's Not True AboutWomen. wv Declares
Says Health Of Female War Workers Requires More
 Consideration

NEW YORK--The Young Wo. mems Christian Assn., through its USO division, is preparing a ma tlonwide campaign to dispeI false conceptions of absenteeism and ao assist employers, unions and com munlties to work out adeUuate health and recreation programs. Ii will begin in the fall.
 lWenty-three nationally known wo. men leaders of health education. ren- resenting recreation groups and labor have established themselves as a com, mlttee at the request of the Y.W.C.A. 10 prepare the campaign. It will in- ciude radio broadcasts, posters pam- phlets and newspaper articles.
 The women, who met recently to confer on ''Health of Women g, Work, blasted the myth of inc happy, rested woman war workers suppplanting it with the more real. istlc one of women workers beset by long hours fatigue, bad food and inadequate medical care. These wCTo lHc IactOrs enumerated as inc basic cause of absenteeism at the conference. ~
 Florence Williams, health and re- creation director of the USO divi- slon, who recently returned from a G. month field trip through the east south and midwest, told the delegates that too little attention to the health of women war workers was conrib,1t- ing to an obvious lessening of their vitality and morals.
 Scarcity of recreation facilities. bad housing and poor diet. due both to the lack of sufficient cafe terlas in dormitOries and plants and to the high cost of food, were main ly responsible, she said.

RenewPledge Of'No-Strike' Council Asks
State Federation Expected 10 Act; N. H. Executive
 Board Member Named

The New Haven Central Labor Council at its meeting Thursday, passed a motion call- ing upon the Conn. Federation of Labor to convene a special session of the executive board to vote a re- newal of labor's no-strike pledge.
 This motion was passed at the re- quest of Pres Harold V. Feinmark of the Council, who said that in view of the fact that the Smith Connally Law, passed over the veto or the President, is considered highly strike provoking, a renewal of the mo strike" pledge is necessary.
 Mrs. Rose Brunswick, Local 4O4, Hotel and Restaurant Employees, was, elected to the executive board of the New Haven Central Labor Council at Councils last meeting to succeed Sen. James P. Ceelan, who was elected vice-president at the previous meeting to fill the va- cancy created by Sen. Joseph M. ROurke's entering the Navy. I
 Mrs. Brunswick is the second wo- man to be elected to the executive board of the Council, within the mem ory of present members. Mrs. Doro- thy Hof, who was secretary in 1o41 was, by virtue of holding that office, a member of the executive board.
 Credentials were received from dele gates of Local 186, Painters. The fol- lowing delegates were named by the Painters: William Zuckerman, presi- dent; Saul Kreas, business agent; A. Ianoti, William Enright and E. John son. All but Ianotti had been sworn i'll the past. He was obligated.

Food Prices Up36% Since January TAI
Gain Of 18.1 Per Cent Recorded Since Adoption
 Of Little Steep Formula

That the pay envelopes of COnnecticut's wage earners are a very poor second in their race with mounting living costs was given added empha- sis this week by Department Of Labor reports.
 Under the so-called Little Steel" formula, no worker is held entitled to wage increase of more than IS per cent above his rate on January 1, 1941. The fc- ton is maintained that this is sufficient to keep him in step with higher prices. x
 But the Is per cent yardstick ia as obsolete as last years bird nests, according to the Department of La bOr.
 Since the start of the war, it re ported this week, living costs on the average have risen 26 per cent. That estimate is based on official price ceilings, which, as even the Depart- ment itself admits, do not ref1ect what housewives are cOmpeIed to pay.
 Many of the prices used by the De- partment in adjusting its index are no longer obtainable, or available onlv Tn limited quantities. The cost of ab- solute necessities is higher than off, cial figures reveal.
 For example, the Department de clared that food which could be pur- chased in 194O for $1O now costs $l4.6O, or 46 per cent more. The in- crease since January 1, 1o41, was said to be 38 per cent From June of last year, when the Little SteeP' formula became effective, until. last month. the increase was 17.1 per cent.
 The Department declared that during the last 30 days the rise in living costs of items covered in the ordinary family budget was only ! per cent. In some war areas. how. ever, the increase ranged up to A per cent-in the face of the Presi- dents promise more than a month ago that the line on living costs would not only be held. but would be pushed back.

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

FOR THE RECORD. Recently a leading member of the New Haven War Council proposed that Capt. Rickenbacker, arch-foe of organ ized labor, be invited to speak in the Elm City under the Councils auspices. When Mayor John w. Murphy said that he would public ly announce his disagreement with the proposed action, the idea was dropped.
 AS A LABOR PAPER, we espe- cially regret the closing of the Conn. OWL. office i'm Hartford. This agency supplied us with much important news concerning the pro- gress of our war program in this state, news which will be greatly missed. The action of Congress in reducing OWLS funds was not only malicious, but also dangerous to the war program. Our best wish es to Wendell A. Teague, who SO capably managed the state OWL. office.
