LITTLE LUTHER

''Well, I see where our soldiers over in England can't read any British newspapers" announced MT. Dilworth with satisfaction, looking up from the Evening Cli- bune.
 Because of the blackouts, POp?" aked Little Luther.
 ''NO, son, propaganda. Those papers are full of insidiOus pro- Roosevelt stories from which our boys must be protected, so Sen. Taft got law passed forbidding them to read certain things which would influence their votes in the coming election"
 "Oh, I see, Pop. They're SUD- posed to vote by intuition.''
 ''Not at all, Luther," exclaimed Mir. Dilworth indignantly. ''They have every opportunity to cull the best thought of the nation. Why, any soldier over there who wants to can get either a copy of the NesO York Times or the Chicago Tribune"
 ''SO they get choice of whether they want Roosevelt damned with faint praise or just Roosevelt damned. .''
 ''Ah-ah-ah, Luther," warned MT. Dilworth, shaking a finger at his son. ''Watch your language. You should be glad we have somebody like Sen. Taft to make sure the boys vote. ."
 ''In the dark?"
 ''Judiciously,'' finished Mir. Dill worth.
 ''Oh, they won't be able to do that either, Pop. One of the books they banned is the biography of Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes.''
 ''That radical!" MT. Dilworth snOrted. ''It was just as well. And don't forget, our boys can get all the light reading material they want-fashiOn magazines, true love stories, comic books. .''

CONNECTICUT MUST ACT!

Y AST week we reported that l. Pres. William Green of the Ann erican Federation of Labor has placed the passage of the kilgOre Reconversion Bill as the No. l task now before Congress. Since then the Senate has rejected the Xiii gore Bill, and has adopted the George Bill, which the ALL. Op- poses on the ground that it will not bring effective assistance to our war veterans and Unemployed war workers, and will lead to another miserable depression.
 This week we publish the state- ment by President Timothy J. Col Iins of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, who appeals to all Con- necticut unions to wire their Con- gressmen asking them to vote for the KilgOre Bill when the issue comes before the House of Repre- sentatives. This appeal must be supported by immediate action. There are elements in this stGte and country ,UhO ,0Ould rather play politics than see to tt that our country keeps on dn eren keel. The knifng of the Kilgore Bill would affect every working man and woman in Connecticut. It is no exaggeration to say that failure of the KilgOre Bill to pass will pre- vent any firm basis for full post war employment; will incite whole sale discharges of war workers at a moments notice and bring about mass unemployment; and will en- danger the livelihoOds of returning service men and women.
 If Congress receives flood of telegrams from every union in this and every state in the union, the economic tragedy which faces this country may yet be averted. Con- iecticut must act!

Bracket System Declared Haven
 For Pay Evaders
Labor To War Against The VILE. Method For De-

A declaration of war; against the National War Labor Boards so-called 'wage bracket system" for determining pay rates was sounded this week on behalf of organized labor by Robert J. Watt, A. F. of L. international represen- tative and labor member of the board.
 The "bracket" system is the out come of a directive handed down by
The union times., 1944-08-19

Assistant President" James F.. Byrnes back in May, 1943, when he was economic stabilization director. Like the Little Steel'' formula, it has been used to shackle workers wages.
 Another story in this issue tells of labor's battles against the Little SteeP' wage-freezing yardstick. Equally bad, and in some instances worse, is the ''bracket" setup, Watt declared.
 Under Byrnes' directive, the War Labor Board was given authority tC correct wage inequalities to the ex- tent they fall below brackets of sound and tested" rates for specific occupations in each area. As the sys- tenn has worked out, 1t has blocked rather than aided the adjustment oi inequalities, Watt charged.
