Slight Decrease
Seen Last Month

The cost of food to wage
earners i'm Bridgeport fell IL
per cent from mid-December
to mid January, as measured
by the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics Index. Lower prices for
eggs, pork, lamb, fats and
oils, and fish were responsible
for the reduction in the total
cost of food to wage earners
in this city.
Food prices have risen sharply
during the war period. For the
same group of foods which cost
the average Garner $1.O0 in Janu-
airy 194l, he paid $1.40 in mid
January, 1944l Since the out
break of the war in Europe in
the Fall of 1889, retail food
prices in the City of Bridgeport
have risen As per cent.

and of the common people, how
ever, are not satisfied. Knowing
that the ideal of democracy never
burnt stronger in the breasts of
the American people than it does
today, they fear that their special
privileges are endangered. Only
this can account for the continued
refusal of Congress to pas a real
Soldiers Vote Bill. While wages
are practically frozen, and the cost
of living continues to increase,
Congress refuses to pass Food
Subsidies Bill, so that prices may
be held down, and runaway infla-
ton prevented. Corporate profits
are the highest in the history of
the United States, but the Tax Bill
just vetoed by President Roosevelt
does nothing to prevent a new crop
War Millionaires' from springing
up at a time when our men are
being killed abroad.
''If our nation is to sOin this soar
as quickly as possible, zoe must
have united nation, and a Con-
gress sohich is dedicated to the
principle of equality of sacrifice
for all. The present Congress is
more a Beat RoOseDeIt and La
Dor Congress than it is a win
the Var Congress.
''For these reasons the United
Labor Legislative Conference joins
with organized labor throughout
the United States in doing its share
in its own district to elect to Con-
gress Representatives and Senators
who will put aside partisan poll
tics, and place the welfare of the
nation first i'm their hearts and
minds. We urge the Democratic
and Republican parties to nomin-
ate to national and state Offices
men and women whose vision is
broad, and not bighted by hate and
prejudice. Labor will do its share
to see that they are elected.
BE it finally resolved, That this
resolution shall serve as the basic
guide for decision of the executive
board of this Conference until the
Conference is reconvened. We call
upon all members of organized labor
and their families and friends to parti-
cipate in this political activity by la
Dor so that we may help our country
to the best of our abilities in these
critical times"
Joseph Salerno, director of political
activity for the CLIO. in New Eng
land, was the chief speaker. He was
introduced by Edward McCrone,
CLIO. Regional director.
