bitter Congressional rebuke was
handed President Roosevelt today
as the House by an emphatic 299

Heads for Treasury
Immediately after the House
vote was announced, the Congress

Treasury Department, with Repre-
sentative Knutson R.-Minn,), Re-
publican leader on the tax-formu-
lating ways and means committee
introducing legislation to strip
Treasury Secretary Henry Nor

Knutson called for "A complete

The House galleries were filled

and lines of persons unable to get

Bitterness Flares
Bitterness in Congress flared to
intensity not remembered by old
timers around Capitol Hill, as the
vigorous, 80-year old Chairman of
the Ways and Means Committee,

Hollywood Unions Canteen To Have Fund
Locals Want Money Used To Help 6,6OO Studio
 Workers In Service

A postwar rehabilitation plan the Hollywood unions are concerned over hinges on funds of 100000 or more that the Hollywood Canteen is ac- quiring. The money will come prin- cipally in royalties from the Warner Bros. picture about the canteen.
 Hollywood Canteen was organ ized, decorated, furnished and op- erated as a joint war service by 4O-Odd unions. Rank and file vol unteers have kept the canteen humming for two years, hardly mo- ticing the glamour-angIe publicity that never mentions unions and leaving executive decisions to a narrowing circle.
 Suddenly the unions have become aware that not only Is there going to be at least $1,000,000 with which to extend the canteen's service after the war, but that a plan is in cooking to turn the money into the hands oi nine individual trustees for disposal.
 The movie unions are instructing their delegates to attend all execu- tive board sessions of the canteen. They want the canteen's funds used in the rehabilitation of HOIlywOOd's servicemen, particularly thes 6,6OO studio workers now in the armed forces.

The convention unanimously pledged itself to lend every possible means of support and cooperation to the State Building Trades Council, add ing that "every effort would be ex- erted to encourage affiliation of build ing trades councils and local unions with the State Building Trades Coun- cil."
 William P. Enright, secretary of Local l86, New Haven Painters, was chairman of the Elections Committee, which did an outstand- ingIy efficient job. Fred Walker, Stamford Plumbers & Steamfitters, No. 3Il, was chairman of the Grievance Committee; Albert E.. Green, Greenwich Building Trades Council, was chairman of the Gre dentiaI Committee; George Moi fatt, Stamford Painters X Deco rators, No. l92, was chairman of the Committee on Officers Reports; 1; and John O'Donnell, Hartford Plumbers, No. 76, was chairman of the Committee on Rules of Or der.
 Because it is working for the best interests of all organized la- bor, the building trades desired no more than just recognition by the convention. This was gladly given, and means a stronger State Build ing Trades Council and stronger State Federation of Labor.

 The State Federation reversed its stand of last year, and unanimous ly endorsed the Murray-Wagner- Dingall Bill, which would improve the health and security standards of American workers and their families during their entire life time.
 In the field of internal affairs, the convention, acting upon a resolution introduced by George A. Joslyn, Sheet Metal Workers No. 40, of Meriden, voted to increase the num- Der of vice-presidents from eight to nine, effective with next years election. The per capita tax for the ensuing year was set at cents, and a number of changes designed to bring the constitution up to date were made
 Working at full speed, the delegates considered and acted upon some 60 resolutions, and heard five addresses:
 Many of the delegates have sons and daughters in the armed services, and President Collins spoke for them and for all when he closed his an nual report by saying:

Teachers Union Shows Increase of 1000 Members
Gains Since 1922 Greater Than Total Enrolment
 10 Years Ago

Despite heavy losses to the armed forces and to war industries. the American Federation of Teach. CTS has made net gain of more than seven thousand members in the United States since Pearl Har- Dor, Irwin R. Kuenzli, secretary. treasurer of the AFL union an- nOunced.
 MT. Kuenzlis report showed that the unions gain since the beginning of 1912 are greater than the total membership of the union ten years ago. During the last decade the un- ions membership has multiplied five times.
 In addition, MT. Kuenzli re- vealed, the British Columbia Teach ers' Federation, representing all the teachers in that Canadian prov ince, affiliated with the AFL re- gently. This organization, with be- tween three and four thousand members, added to the domestic gains of tn AFT, makes a total gain of more than ten thousand members among teachers. The ac- ton of the Canadian group marks the first time in labor history that a Statewide or provincial Organi- zaiOn joined the labor movement in body.

The Reader
 Has the Floor

To the Editor,
 The Union Times:
 As a subscriber to this paper, as a believer in trades unions, as a business woman myself I am puzzled at the attitude of labor toward the Equal Rights Amendment, and the attitude of people like Miss Frieda Miller whose opposition you featured on your front page recently.
 She calls the Amendment "a pill that would destroy labor standards that women have worked long and hard to build" Some pill! And she goes on to say that we need rather specific pills for specific illsr To oppose the Equal Rights Amendment on that basis is like opposing the ef- tort to get a pure water supply SC that people who are getting specific ills from impure water may continue to get spicifc pills for the ills that the impure water brings.
 Miss Miller also said in the N. Y Times mo amendment can give wo- men consideration at the hands of the employers who hold the jobs in this country" That is criticism of the capitalist system and not of the proposed amendment
 Perhaps Miss Miller is still too mentally worn from her valiant ef- forts in behalf of protective legisla- tion to realize that there is basically no reason why the passage of this amendment should undo any good legislation but every reason why it should stimulate proper safeguards and standards for both men and wo- men. As Dr. Ernest Groves remarked, the interests of women have al ready matured beyond the need for a legislative guardianship and now re- quire legal equality with men,"
 The Amendment, Equality of rights under the law shall not be de- nied or abridged account of sex will give to women full citizenship where now they have sub-citizenship. American women have inherited from the old days of feminine serfdom many unfair legal discriminations that should be swept out of the laws of the leading democracy of the world, the United States.
