Reopen Trial Of. Seditioniists,Says
 Elm City Council
Sends Resolution To Attor- ney-General Urging Im-
 mediate Action

The New Haven Central Labor Council, at its meeting Thursday, un- animous1y went on record in favor of having the Federal Government reopen the trials of the seditionists recently brought to close in Wash ington.
 Action was taken on the following motion, introduced by Prof. Mi1lar Burrows, secretary of Local 204, Teachers Union:
 Moved, That the Secretary be in- structed to write to Attorney Gen. eral Francis Riddle, urging that the trials of seditionists, tragically interrupted by the death of Chief Justice Eicher, be promptly re- opened; inasmuch as these enemies of our country have not only con- spired against our own freedom in the past, but have continued to do their worst, even during the trial, to divide our nation by fomenting religious and racial pre- judice as a means of subverting our democratic institutions, and a failure now to bring them to jus tice would make their power for evil greater than ever."

 IN LINE with Iabor's traditional battle for greater educational op. portunities to America's children. the A.F.L. is on record for more Federal aid to the schools ''so that every child in the nation may be prepared to render the best pos sible service to the country whether his place of birth happens to be the poorest district of the poorest state or the richest district of the richest state.'
 The last convention emphatical- ly denied Federal aid would lead to Federal ''control'' of schools and declared the ''bogey" of such con. trol was raised by those forces (which have always opposed the labor movement in the battle fol adequate public schools"

Federation Calls
 On Conn. Workers

The executive board of the Connecticut Federation of La. bOr, meeting in Bridgeport to- day, issued a call to all Con- necticut workers, organized and unOrganized, who are not now employed in war production, to help relieve the manpower shortage in Connecticut war in- dustries.
 "Our armed forces are fight ing desperately both in Europe and in the Pacific, and the need for more ammunition is increas- ing daily" tbe board said in a statement made public by Presi- dent Timothy M. Collins. ''In- stead of relaxing our efforts, we must increase them. The pro- duction situation is approaching a crisis, and the entire nation must be ready for it. We are confident that Connecticut will do its share, as it has been dO- ing since long before Pearl HarbOr.''

include specific programs for assist ance to business, public works, public services, conservation and other pub lie activities. A provision is added calling for the performance of all public construction work by private concerns"
 "The general outlines of both pro- grams are to be submitted to Con- lgress on the first day of each session along with the regular budget for the operations of the Federal Govern ment," the bill declares. Both bud gets are to be. prepared by the Bureau of the Budget under the di- rection of the President.
 In a statement which accompanied the proposed bill Sen. Murray de- clared that 1t is not intended to pro- vide an easy and automatic solution to the problem of full employment.
 ''It should be emphasized," he added, ''that the bill represents a clear break with the so-caIled 'cOm- pensatory spending approach of the 193Os. This is not just a bill to take up the slack through pub- lie works. It is founded on the premise that we can't just sit around and wait until people are out of work before we do some thing about promoting employ. ment. I, for one am convinced that realistic policies toward small pri- vate business will open up vast new horizons of private business expan- siOn."

SEVEN HAPPY YEARS''
 Feinmark, who retired from office after serving for seven years, told the delegates that ''they were seven happy years."
 ssI have enjoyed this york;" he said, s'and believe that organized labor in New Haven has made great strides. Our work for low-cost pub- lie housing, the election of union men to- public office, and similar campaigns were successful, and helped not only the labor move ment, but the community as we'll. We have our Labor Temple, our newspaper, and play an important part in the civic life of New Haven. Much that know about labor learned from the New Haven Gen. tral Labor Council, and I will ap- ply the same principles in serving the Connecticut Federation of Labor.
 "As my duties permit, I will con- tinue to attend meetings of the Coun Gil, and assist President McGovern and the delegates in every way pos sible."
 McCOvern thanked the delegates for the confidence they had shown in him, and praised the results ac- complished under Feinmark's lead ership.
 Four members were unanimously elected by the delegates to the executive board. They are Alfred K. Murphy, Machinists Union; Saul Kreas, Painters Union; Harry Ben- son, Musicians Union; and Frank Carr, Trolleymen's Union.
 The only contest in the election came when seven were nominated for the five positions on the Board oi Trustees. The run off will take place at the Council meeting to be held Thursday, Jan. 4. Those nominated are Millar Burrows, Yale Teachers Union; George Riehm, Carpenters Leonard Reed, Freight Handlers Samuel F. Curry, Trolleymen; Will liam Enright, Painters; Frank Spa dola, Barbers; and James Rosen Labor Dept. Employes.
 Congressman-elect James P. Gee. Ian, who retired as vice-presideni of the Council, attended the meet ing and thanked the delegates for their help in electing him.

Senators Propose Jobs>For>Au Plan
 To Be Gnaranteed By Federal Budget
(See Ne,O Year editorial on Page

(See NesO Year editorial On Page 4-EditOr.)
 A new, far-reaching plan mak- ing the Government responsible for guaranteeing every American job after the war has been sub- mitted by group of progressive Senators for action by the next session of Congress.
 The key provision of the new program calls for the setting up of new kind of Federal budget production and employment bud get-which would require the Gov ernment to appropriate whatever funds may be necessary, over and above investments and expendi- lures by all other individuals or groups-to provide 6O,OOO, ,OOO or more jobs each year.
 The plan was drafted in legislative form by the War Contracts Subcom- mittee of the Senate Military Affairs Committee and made public by Sena- tor James E. Murray, chairman of the group. It was conceded that it nav become the major legislative proposal of the new Congress. The committee also presented a de- tailed analysis of the various indus trial demobilization acts and calls the war mobilization and reconversion act "a defective instrument for coping with the problems of transition from war to peace" It suggests supple mental legislation to:
 Improve unemployment compen- sation.
 22Provide travel allowances to all low migrant war workers to return hor'e.
 3-Authorize $150OOO,OOO in loans by the Federal Works Agency to help local communities develop plans for postwar public works.
 fAuthorize reconversion loans by the Smaller War Plants Corp.
 The legislative draft made public bv Sen. Murray is keynoted by a Declaration of Policy" which says, in part:
 "(a) Every American able to work and willing to work has the right to a useful and remunera- tive job in the industries, or shops, or offices, or farms or mines of the nation;
 "(b It is the responsibility of the Government to guarantee that right by assuring continuing full employment; and

AZ. L. In Hartford Backs World Farley

Tn what is believed to be the first such move by an American Fedora ton of Labor group, the Hartford Central Labor Union "Wednesday night went on record as supporting the international labor conference scheduled to be held in London, Eng land, next February. The Central Labor Union further called for A. F. L. participation in the interna-- tional conference.
 At its national convention held earlier this month, the. A. F. L. voted against participation in the London convention, which delegates of organ ized labor groups throughout the world will attend.
 The Central Labor Union, accord ing to Joseph Cronin, intends to notify A. F. L. President William Green of its disagreement with the national body's decision. Notification will also be sent to the State Fedora ton of Labor, he said
 At the same time, members of the Central Labor Union unanimously adopted resolution asking all afili- ated members, as well as other union ists and non-union members, to re- main on their jobs during the period of crucial war production. This reso- lution was adopted as a result of the stepped-up ammunition programs and follows action taken by A. F. L. groups throughout New England.

Unions Give Canteen $l25 Every Month

BLOOMINGTON, Ill., Already supporting the American Red Cross with blood and money, Bloomington's A. F. of L. unions have added the gift of their volunteer labor to pro- vide a shelter at the railroad station for a Red Cross canteen which pre- viously operated in the open air.
 Appropriately, it was the Carpen- ters' Union, Local s, which first noted the need and offered to donate the labor to build hut. Within three weeks the structure was completed, and members of the Painters Union, Local 2Oo, moved in to brighten the new canteen quarters.
 The canteen project receives regu- lar monthly contributions totaling SIPS from various unions of the city. Holders Local 157 and City Bus Drivers Union, Local 752, are the latest to offer financial support.

nificent achievement, it is not enough, the General said, discIOs- ing that estimates of the amount of war material needed are con- stant1y being revised upwards. In France, he explained, the First, Third and Ninth Armies alone ''fire more mortar shells every day than were used in a month in Africa.''
 In one month these three Ameri- can Armies lost s per cent of their dump trucks, 50 per cent of their mOrtars, IA per cent of their scout cars, 10 per cent of their tanks, he revealed. He added that for the war in the Pacific the esti- mate of the production that will be needed has had to be increased by 25 per cent within the last ninety days.
 Even after Germany is defeated, he revealed, $71, ,OOO, ,0OO,OO year-mOre than the value of all goods manufactured in the U. s. in 1929-will have 10 be expended to beat the Japs.
 Saying that 300,0O0 additional workers are needed for war produc- tion, the General stated, I've have explained our need to our two great labor organizations, the A.FL. and the C.IO., and both have responded wholeheartedly, with prompt organi- zation of recruiting services to assist us in plugging the holes we need to fill" The 300,000 workers, he said, are either workers who have left war jobs or who have not yet been in war production 'If everyone of these workers decides today to go back to work on the production front this week, it won't be long before Eisen- hover and Macarthur will feel their support; it won't be long before there will be an upsurge of short items needed on the fighting fronts," he commented.

 UrgesUsTOKeep. Control oIOfPrices
Fears We May Have Repe' tition Of What Has
 Happened Abroad

A dinner of lverwurst and pOta- toes for $36 in a French restaurant and a dollar for bar of soap got Cpl. William A. Pagan so steamed UT that he sat down on his cot somewhere in France and wrote a letter to an OPA official here, though maybe he should have sent it to the groups who are trying to smash price control in Congress.
 "To be honest I saw little or no reason or excuse for price control in postwar America" he said. But, by God, now 1 see and now 1 pray that there will be price control. We did damn good job in the U. s. A. keeping prices as they were, when you look at them here. It's up to you at home to keep price control because, believe me, you have never seen in fation.
 ''You have never sat down to a iverwurst and potato dinner and paid 36 American dollars for it.. You have never paid two American dollars for a package of cigarettes. Nor have you paid a dollar for a bar of Sc Hershey chocolate or a dollar for a Sc bar of soap.
 "You have seen the 1919 boom and the '29 crash but, believe me, without some sort of price control after this war, America and everything we are fighting for is lost. There are a lot of boys over here who never saw $1O0 before But, with not being able to spend it at the fronts and with Uncle Sam's saving plans, they are coming home loaded and raring to go.
 With imitation comes black mark cts, and with them both the ultimate degradation of a nation. Let's have no imitation in the U. s. A. I think I speak for all the boys over here wher I say let's knock out black markets so we'll keep our women at home and our kids believing in Santa Claus"

 ''The Congress hereby declares that:
 The committee report explained:
 "The proposed bill sets up a new t"~H of budget to carry out the policy of necessary Federal investment and expenditure "a national production and employment budget.
 This new budget would deal with the total amount of investment and expenditure by all groups in the coun- try-consumers, business, state and local government, and the Federal government. It would be made up, on the one hand, of the total expenditures needed to guarantee full employment and, on the other hand, of prospec- tive total expenditures. Accordingly, a two-fold program is set forth for balancing the national production and employment budget:
 ''There is to be a general pro- gram for encouraging increased non-federaI investment and ex- penditure. They may call for new policies dealing with banking and currency taxation, wages and working conditions, social security and related fields.
 "To the extent that this program may not be sufficient to balance the budget, second program is called fora program of Federal investment and expenditure. This program could

Vicious Anti Union Law Is Held Valid

Spokesmen for the American Fed eration of Labor declared this week an appeal will be taken to the United States Supreme Court from finding by the Supreme Court of Florida that labor organizers may be regulated in their conduct just like insurance agents, real estate brokers and others, and that unions must make periodical reports to state authorities.
 The law sustained by the court was passed in 1o43.
 Attorneys for the A. F. of L. con- tended that labor leaders should be treated like religious, charitable and educational organizations and left free from licensing regulations.
