Connecticut For Wallace

The of support for Henry Wallace that has swept Connecticut from end the other of the heartening indications of liberalism the of Steady Habs in many years. Scarcely without exception, the working and of this Wallace.
 In Washington Senator Brien issued statement last week pledging his full support Wallace. McNaon further than of the Senators who WaIace cOnfrmatiOnhe voted against the George Bill which would the great lending agencies of the Department of Commerce. McMahon issued this ssue which closely reflects the attitude of Connect cut labor and its friends No Connecticut daily paper pub shed in full We think it is important, and glad present the complete Said Senator McMahon:
 I intend support Henry A. Wallace for Secretary of Commerce and will against the bill the loan agencies from him when for decision.
 The United States today has than g OOO OOO men gainfuy employed We producing about 100 per than produced any prewar year, despite fact that nearly efficient workers are in the armed forces
 "One need have the gift of prophecy realize that of vision is needed for future planning We all seem agree that unemployment cannot be tolerated in peaceime America. Our fighting home to jobs and not breadines.
 "Mr. Wallace is advancing President Roosevet's demo- cratic for decent job decent wage those who o work.
 1.-The program is perfect Those we'll mentioned per- sons who vigorously opposing him program that envson future problems They do not have concrete proposals how these problems should be met.
 Many of the very editorial writers are denouncng Mr. Wallace visionary and dreamer thought he was quite fellow after he denied renomnaon vcepresi dent last July Ih of before he actively to campaign for the Presidents reelection Their present efforts to convince the American people that kind of an incompetent dreamer unfair and untrue.

ONE of the most startled men in Connecticut Sunday was Jim O'Kane, the effervescent secretary treasurer of the State Building Trades Council. The Startling" case when George JOslyn, chair man of the resolutions committee. read resolution, signed by a flock of names, which praised Jim's wife, Elizabeth O'Kane, for the help given Jim in the pursuance of his duties. The resolution went fur ther and voted Mrs. O'Kane a $50 War Bond, and was accepted with cheers by the delegates. The reso- lution had been handed to the com mittee without any previous knOwl- edge by O'Kane, and was he sur prised!

 Lockwood is a member of the Stamford Ration Board, the Stam- ford Post War Planning Council, the Stamford War Man Power Com mission, and the Stamford Coming Board of Appeals. I'm his spare time, like so many other mem bers of organized labor, he sees his family. At Sundays con- ference, he was reelected a vice president of the State Building Trades x Construction Council.
 PHOTOGRAPHER EIdred Perry of the Birmingham (Ala.) Ne,Os was losing no time as he headed for an assignment. A police motor scout pulled alongside and shouted the usual ''Hey, you, where's the fre?'' Avenue E and 9th Street" !" shouted Perry.
 THE seventeen largest coopera- tive purchasing associations in the United States saved their members $l7, ,7O2,625 on their purchases for the fiscal year ending in I943, Dr. Joseph C. Knapp, of the Farm Credit Administration, revealed in recent article.
 NEXT MEETING of the execu- tive board of the Conn. Building Trades and Construction Council will be held at 10 AM. at the New Haven Labor Temple on Wednes- day, March 7.
 THE National War Labor Board frightened up its ''union securitv'' policy this week to prevent abuses by anti-labor employers.
 Under that policy, union mem bers are given a l5-day ''escape periOd' in which to resign before they become bound by provisions requiring that they remain in good standing to hold their jobs.
 In case involving the A. F. of |. Iron Workers Union and the Ingalls, Iron Works, Birmingham. Ala, dispute arose over whether delinquent members - many of whom, it was alleged, dropped out under management pressure - should be permitted to take ad- vantage of the ''escape period'' when an existing contract is re- newed.
 The regional board said ssNo." 1t held they must first be paid I'D on all dues up to the time of re- newal before they can resign. The management appealed to the WLB in Washington, but the top board, with industry members dissenting, sustained the regional boards ac- tion, despite company claim that such ruling violated Alabama's anti-union shop law.

On TheScene
 In Washington

Assuming that Henry A. Wallace is confirmed as Secretary of Com merce March l, there is possi- bility that we may find him direct ly in charge of the largest portion of the gigantic U. s. reconversion program despite the Senate tories.
 Of course Wallace will need a good deal of home front support from workers, housewives and businessmen between now and March l to be confirmed, but his chances are definitely improved with the passage of the George Bill taking REC from under the con- trOl of commerce.
 But if the war continues at its present pace, Director of War Mobil- ization' James F. Byrnes may soon carry out his VOW to quit Byrnes will leave upon the surrender of Ger many.
 Faced with that situation there is nothing in the way of President Roosevelt's handing over the func- tions of war mobilization and recon version to Wallace. It would be a nice gesture. by MT. Big.
 Not only that, but the Senate military affairs committee voted to amend the infamous May labor draft bill passed by the House so as to turn over its compulsory work features to Byrnes' department rather than let the local draft boards do the job.
 Since the government departments concerned are sad to have suggested and accepted the change from the more stern method voted by the con- fused House membership, it is likely that the bill will be in that form if passed by the Senate.
 Henry Wallace may yet get the chance to laugh last, because FDR is determined to have cabinet harmony and won't appoint anybody to the REC job who'd block things for the new secretary of commerce.
 Throughout the Senate fight on Wallace signs were abundant that the real fear of the opposition is that he will gain stature and prom thence regardless of how the prob lem is handled.
 Wallace proved, when he ac- cepted defeat for the vice-presi- dential nomination at the Chicago Democratic convention last sum- mer, that he can take it. He also proved that he is an able party man-that he not only votes for, but vigorously supports the nomi- nee. It is that sort of politics that wins support for Wallace from men like Majority Leader AIben Barkley of Kentucky.
 The opposition is quite aware that if it rejects Wallace entirely, he will have plenty of opportunity to stay in the limelight They can't bury a man who has the support of organized labor today
 On the other hand, confirmation to key cabinet position is bound to increase Wallaces stock. And when he shows businessmen that he is an able administrator, there will be little the Southern tories can do to stop his successful march to the 1o48 Demo- cratic convention.

Unfairness Not Claimed.
Mr.. Merritt said the JAW makes
no claims that present wages are not
fair or are not as high as any other
paid to such large group.
He said the union entered upon
the fact-finding investigation "by
refusing the request of the President
''' to resume work pending fact
flnding-an essential part of the
Presidents fact-finding program.
Mr.. Merritt said GIN did not plead
inability to pay higher wages. The
corporation does not consider this
relative to its wage dispute, he said
Ability to pay or inability to pay
is a defense which employers have
often advanced to keep down wage
increases and defense which
unions have consistently opposed as
not proper factor for considera-
tion,' he said, pointing out that the
War Labor Board regarded with
disfavor" ability to pay in deciding
wage issues.
Mr.. Reuther challenged GIN to

Regarding China, the Big Three
Foreign Ministers agreed on 1.-The
need for unified and democratic
country under Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek's national government but
including broad participation by
democratic elements" in all its
branches. They reaffirmed adher-
ence to policy of noninterference
in Chinese internal affairs.
Iran Question Discussed.
Issues which were discussed at the
conference but which were left I'M
settled included the Iranian ques
ton and problems OF future policy
in Germany. Moscow dispatches said
the conferees did not discuss mat
tiers pertaining to the Dardanelles
Greece or the problem Of trusteeship
except for Korea.
Mr.. Bevin said in London that the
1ranian question has been the sub
ject Of protracted exchange of
views. but final agreement has not
been reached. The matter will con-
tinue to be discussed through diplo-
matte channels"
Despite the problems raised, both
American and British quarters in
London said the achievements of the
conference must be considered as a
major step forward in the collab-
grafton of the Big Three.
One of the immediate results will
be the resumption of work on Euro
pean peace treaties which had been
at standstill since the collapse of
the five-power Foreign Ministers
conference in London over questions
of procedure.

Cooperation Seen Revived.
Diplomatic circles in London &C
claimed the Moscow Conference as
a revival OF cooperation and trust
among the big powers which prom
ised to open the way for settlement
of many vital problems still standing
on the road to world peace.
While recognizing the importance
OF the matters agreed on at Moscow,
these circles were quick to point out
that the conference left other equal
ly important issues unsettled and
that their solution depended on
the maintenance OF trust and con-
fidence.
This point was stressed by both
Secretary Of State Byrnes and
British Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bevin at the conclusion of their IL
day meeting with Soviet Foreign
Commissar Vyacheslav Molotov.

Federal Reserve Sued
To Test lis Control
OF Banking Growth

The Board of Governors Of the
Federal Reserve System has been
named defendant in District Court
suit which may test its right to
control growth of banking enter
prises.
Filed by the Peoples Bank of
Lakewood Village, Calf, the suit
contends the board exceeded Its
powers when, in 1912, it granted the
bank membership in the Federal
Reserve System on the condition
1t would be withdrawn if Trans
america Corp. should acquire any
interest in the bank without Fed
eral Reserve approval.
The bank contends the Board of
Governors is without authority to
impose these terms of membership
and asks that the provisional ruling
be declared void.
A spokesman for the Federal Re-
serve System said the condition was
imposed as restrainer against fur
ther expansion of the Transamerica
Corp, holding company in Califor-
mia and other States, of which A. P.
Giannini, banking magnate, is
chairman of the board.
The plaintiff said Transamerica
Corp. did acquire and add to its
portfolio of bank stock investments
minority stock interest in Peo-
Piles Bank. The suit also said the
bank now is without any legal
power to control investments in its
stock
The bank is seeking protection
OF the courts against loss of mem
bership in the Federal Reserve
System which the provisional terms
of membership would decree.
