 Washington

George Meany, secretary-treasur- CT of the American Federation of Labor, this week berated the De- partment of Labor and its Bureau of Labor Statistics for failure to perform their statutory duty ''to foster, promote and develop wage earners' welfare"
 At the annual meeting of labor research personnel called by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Meany fiatly charged that this agency is attempting to keep its cost of iv- ing index down in order o cover up the government failure to keep living costs down. He added:
 The Secretary of Labor does not represent the views of labor in the Cabinet.
 "The so-ca1led Acting Commission CT of Labor Statistics GA. F. Hin richs) has by his actions assumed the appearance of a bureaucratic monkey on stick who moves up and down in conformity with the dictates of ad- m1mstrative wage policy.
 "The BIS has prostituted its re- search functions to an administrative objective.
 ''There are sharp indications that the price-control policy of the government, having failed to keep living costs down, the administra- ton decided the next best thing to do was to keep down the cost-of- living index. In this policy the BIS obsequioasly acquiesced. We are led to the unacceptable conclusion that the bureau has become identi- fled with an effort to freeze wages, to the extent that it is no longer

IF THE landlord tries to up the rent or the butcher violates price ceilings, he runs into real trouble in the Bronx, New York. Before there's time to bang on the cash register, a group of women will be marching up and down in front of his store bearing signs with slo- gans like these: s'This butcher car- ries black market meat" or ''This landlord is defying rent controp' or ''Let's support OPA and the Presi- dent"
 UNITED HOUSEWIVES, they call themselves-and they've been around unions, it's easy to see. The women report violations to the OPA but they don't stop picketing until the owner stops Overcharging. A butcher who ignored ceilings was suspended from business for 30 days through their efforts. They won victory in court for apart ment house tenants who refused to pay their rent because the land- lord had not provided enough heat. Might be good tip for women's auxiliaries in other places.
 CONN. UNIONS should insist that their delegates attend Central Labor Union meetings. Many inn pOrtant decisions affecting the workers of this state are being made by the central labor bodies. The wider the representation at meetings, the wiser the decision will be.

a free agency of statistical re-

a free agency of statistical re- search.
 There is no national labor policy and no unihcation of administration of labor legislation for dealing with labor problems"
 Meany contended that the BIS is contributing by its silence to the popu- lar deception that it keeps a cost of living index whereas, in fact, it is merely an index of some retail prices. He also asserted that the items in- cluded in the index were predomi- nantly those over which the OPA had exercised price controls.
 "Consciously or unconsciously," the AFL official added, "the bureau has permitted this fact to cause a serious downward bias in its measurement of the amount of increase in retail prices
 Workers today have to depend heavily on foods and other items not priced by the bureau. Because of these developments the index no longer gives an accurate measurement of price increases of goods bought by workers"

 WHENEVER workers demanded raises in pay to catch up with zoom- ing living costs, newspapers yell ''infation.'' But in the past few weeks many of the big dailies have hiked prices from 3 to 5 cents-a 66 per cent increase. Higher costs" were given as an alibi.
 In New York three dailies in a row went up to 5 cents. Two others were previously at this figure, and now readers must pay that much for all Manhattan evening papers.
 Hundreds of other daiIies have done likewise in the past few years, and so did many magazines. They didn't need to get any o. P. A. s'Otay-their lobbyists had been on the job before the price control act was passed to see that news papers and magazines were ex- empted from the law.
 TREMENDOUS interest is being shown throughout Conn. in build ing strong State Building Trades Council, and strong city councils, especially in Hartford, Bridgeport and New Haven. This is of great importance to the entire labor movement of the state. One word of caution, however: the local building trades should also give full support to their central labor unions, which can be of great help to them.

Montana Miners
To Get Anti Freeze

HELENA, March l4.-Anti-freeze
distribution controls have been es-
tablished by the War Production
Board, it was announced by Oscar
A. Baarson today. THE move re-
fleets the experiences of last winter
when miners in the Rockies and es-
sential war workers in other ex-
tremely cold areas were unable to
obtain sufficient anti-freeze to pro-
tect their cars Mr.. Baarson said.
Under the new order, WPB is
given the power to issue special
directives concerning the distribu-
ton or delivery Of anti-freezes pro-
duced under WPB quotas, and it
will be their policy to obtain an
equitable distribution of the avail
able supply. The supply will be
based on vehicle registrations and
weather conditions throughout the
United States" Mr.. Baarston said.

A SERMONETTE
!, THE LENTEN SEASON
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

This season of the wear when the
minds of ali Christendom are turned
with especial thoughtfulness toward
the things Of Christ, is good time
for all of us to inquire Of ourselves
whether we are really living the
Christ life as Christ would have us
live it. 1t is a good time for us to
take an inventory of our spiritual
selves and see wherein we could
make ourselves more efficient in
the service of our Lord and Master.
What power for righteousness
the church would be if during these
next few weeks an Of its members
could, day by day, and hour by
hour, practice the presence of
Christ.
