Health Insurance
 In Many Contracts

It has been little pub1icized, but one of the great accomplishments of unions ln the past few years has been the winning of health insurance for their members through collective bar gaining.
 How spectacular progress in that field has been was revealed in a re- port published this week by the De- partment of Labor. Union agree ments filed with the department show 100000 workers are covered by health benefit plans, but that figure, the re- port explained, is by no means com plete.
 Most of the agreements provide for employer financing of the cost, though in some, employees contribute part through payroll deductions. The funds are used to pay from 50 to 60 per cent of regular earnings during sick ness and disability, as we'll as partial hospital and medical expenses.
 Unions were able to make these ad- vances in the health insurance" field because such gains did not conflict with wartime wage stabilization regu- 1ations.

There's some thing wrong if we can plan to have full employment in war time, but have millions of unemployed dur- ing peacetime. It's up to Congress to take immediate action on this problem.

Cost Of Living Is At Highest Peak Since Spring, Fl

Washington LPA)--Even the conservative Bureau of Labor Sta tistics index on the cost of living shows that in June of this year. higher prices for fresh fruits and vegetables and eggs, together with continued increases for clothing and housefurnishings brought the liv ing costs in June l945 to the high est level since the spring of l92I.''
 The average cost of all food at re- tail, reports the BIS, was 51%o above level of August IS, 1889, but 1.3@o lower than i'll May, 1943, the highest level for food during the war.
 Clothing prices moved upward O.o9o between May and June, the largest advance in any month so far this year. Stocks of medium and in expensive apparel were "at the lowest point during the war;" according to BIS.
 Despite new OPA pricing for mula that covered house furnish ings, average costs for housefur- nishings, including living room and bedroom furniture, cook stoves and dinnerwarc, were higher.

 "The Council instructed me to inform you that organized labor firmly believes that these requests for adequate wages and improved working conditions are extremely reasonable. We have gone over these requests in detail; have com pared the wage rates now being paid with the increased cost of liv. ing, and with rates being paid in private industry.
 ''As workers, and as taxpayers. we believe that our city employees are being underpaid. It is no won der that so many municipal workers are forced to take on part-time jobs after regular working hours, and that the wives of many also work. in order that these families may maintain a decent standard of Iiv. ing.
 "As citizens of New Haven, and as taxpayers, we believe that the City of New Haven should set private in dustry an example in its dealings with its employees.

 Up to the time of going to press, only one answer had been received by Pres. iMcGovern. The answer was from Mayor Murphy, who wrote as follows:
 Dear Sir:
 Thank you for your letter inform ing me that the Central Labor Coun- Gil has endorsed the requests for wage increases filed with their respective boards by Police Department Local No. 430, Fire Fighters Union Mo- 825, Board of Education Emloyees No. 287 and the New Haven Teachers League.
 Tt is my opinion and my hope that the respective commissions will give serious consideration to these re- quests.
 However, I wish to point out that the Finance Commission of the city in its consideration of the sal ary question will have to include all of the city employees as mat ter of justice. I would further point out that the city does not have any of the money that will be necessary for payment of salaries and other obligations for l946, but will have to raise the requested amount dur ing that period. I feel certain that the question will be given the ut most consideration.
 'sWithout prejudice to existing would like to point out that 65 per requests for salary increases, l cent of the money spent by the city goes for salaries. If salary raises are given they must be paid for by means of increased taxes.''
