Veterans Reject
 Convention Plea Of Labor-Haters
'Amvets' Spurn Resolution Backed by Sweatshops Denouncing Union
 Shop

Anti-labor employers this week sustained their first major defeat in a campaign to use vet erans' organizations for a war against unions. The setback oc- cured at a convention in Chicago of the American Veterans of World War II, known as Am vets."
 Texas delegates came prined to put over resolution which denounced the union shop" and which called for legislation exempting veterans for all time from the obligation to join unions in plants where "closed shop" agreements prevail.
 Such a program would pro-
 vide a heaven-sent oPpOrtu-
 nifty for labOr-hating losses
 to hire large numbers of
 ''vets'' and thus crack unions
 in their plants. Delegates
 from other states recognized
 the scheme for what it was
 and almost unanimously re-
 jected it.
 Texans on sHot Seat''
 They acted after Edwin Bruder of Chicago, national executive com mitteeman of "Amvets," assailed the proposition as direct threat to the union shop which we don't want to see broken up by interruptions en- ployers."
 Sulking leaders of the Texas group later threatened to bolt "Amvets," but the fact is they are sitting on a "hot seat" in their home state. Mem bers there are up in arms over a recent exposure of the fact that the Lone Star States leading movie mag nate, Karl Hoblitzelle, had been se- cret1y contributing $400 a month to finance a Texas Amvets' paper, which has been filled with propaganda against organized labor

Hobbs Bill May Be First Shot In Anti-Union Drive
Teamsters Call It Most Sweeping Piece of Anti Labor Legislation" Be-
 fore Congress

WASHINGTON - (FP)-Con- gressional labor haters have picked the Hobbs bill CHR 32) as the springboard for their first assault on unions, and are engaged in a full dress drive to force it to the floor of the House from the rules committee.
 Introduced as wartime meas ure by Rep. Sam Hobbs CD, Ala to curb what he called ''racketeer- ing and extortion," the bill is ex- pected to be stricken of the war time phrasing and come out as an open anti-union bill.
 The bill carries penalties of up to 20 years imprisonment or fines up to $1O,O00 or both for violations that in clude conspiracies or attempts to threaten violence against any person or property in violation of the bills key section:
 ExtOrtiOn !
 Whoever in any way or degree obstructs, delays, or affects com merce, or the movement of any arti- cle or commodity in commerce by rob- bery or extortion, shall be guilty of a felony"
 Extortion is defined as ''obtain- ing of property from another, with his consent, induced by wrongful use of actual or threat ened force, violence, or fear, or under color of official right.''
 Robbery is defined by the Hobbs

Labor Dept. Tells
 You Your Rights

Deputy Commissioner Will liam Ennis, speaking on be- half of John J. Egan, Com missioner of Labor, said today that very few workers in Con- necticut are familiar with the functiOning of the Wage Claims Section.
 There is a state law, Ennis continued, that protects all em- ployees from any person or cor poration that shall withhold any part of the wages of any person, for a given amount of time over that as provided by the law.
 TIME LIMIT
 As a maximum time limit an em- ployee, on a weekly payment basis shall receive the wage earned to within eight days of the date of such payment. If an employee vol untarily leaves he shall be paid in full the following regular pay day; and if discharged for any reason at all, he shall be paid in full not later than the business day next succeeding the date of discharge.
 Any violation of this law, Commis- sioner Ennis explained, should be i'm mediately reported by the employee to the Wage Claims Section, State Department of Labor and Factory In spection, Hartford, whose responsi- bility and function is to thoroughly investigate any alleged violation; or the nearest United States Employ ment Service office where the com plaint will be forwarded to the proper channel.
 Claims received for unpaid wages by the Wage Claims Section have declined from 95 in July, to 76 in September. Claims paid have fallen from S6 in August, amount ing to $4, ,243.63; to only A in September, amounting to $l,495.- 8l. The total number of claims paid for the quarter, July through September, was l46, and the total money collected $9,139.l1. This shows a satisfactory increase over the number of claims and the amounts collected in past years.
 The commissioner pointed out that 80 percent of the total amount of unpaid wages were collected from Hartford County "This is not a true reflection of conditions by counties" |" he continued, "and if employees in other counties of Connecticut knew of this service given by the Wage Claims Section, Hartford County would, in my opinion, compare more favorably."
 During the month of July and August a number of complaints were received in regard to vacation and severance pay in connection with the large number of layoffs following VIE and VI Days.

More Coal Pied ged
 By British Miners

Acknowledging that the future of Britain's Labor government depends partly on the amount of coal that can be produced this winter, the Natl. Union of Mineworkers has opened 2 campaign to increase output by eight million tons between now and the end of March, Allied Labor News re- ports from London.
 A leafet distributed by the union points out that it has pledged the miners to meet government coal de- mands because "this is a government of our own creation" As part of its campaign the union ruled that any miner who persists in staying away from his job without good reason will be dropped by the union and thus prevented from working in the industry.

 Teamsters on Job!
 At the request of the Bro. of Team sters, Rep. Hugh DeLacy CD, Wash. ) appeared before the rules committee with Fred Tobin, the unions Wash lngton representative.
 DeLacy denounced the Hobbs bill, saying it is "a fragrant example of legislation intended not to halt vio- fence but to encourage its provocation so that the courts can crush perfect ly legitimate union activity.
 ''As a peacetime measure," De- Lacy said, Cit is the most sweep. ing piece of anti-labor legislation ever to come before your body for rule. It would in effect, subject every worker in America who was forced to strike and to picket, to the Damocles sword of 20 years in prison and a $1O,OOO fine. Ii would place weapon in the hands Of the most vicious anti-uniOnists and law-breakers in this Iand.''
 DeLacy warned that the definition of extortion included in the bill, car rying as it does the phrase under color of official right" could be used

Furniture Shortage Continuation Seen

Shortages in home furnishings and furniture are certainty until at least 1946 and even then the choice may be pretty limited, according to Bread & Butter, weekly newsletter of Con- Sumers Union.
 In addition to shortages of mate rials, efforts of manufacturers to ob- tain higher prices from OPA are holding down reconversion produc- tlon. One manufacturer has a new line of oak pieces but he won't take any orders until OPA raises his cell ing prices. Anticipation of lower taxes and greater profits in 1o46 is also holding up expansion by some manufacturers.

Research Not The End By Peter Edson

dustry was able to hit its real stride On this basis it is felt by Army and Navy that the 2400 produc- ton program represents government policy, the air. craft industry will be caught short in of another emergency.
 It is doubted by experts whether the House recommended production of 2400 planes is enough to give the aircraft industry adequate toollng trained personnel and production engineering eXperlence to expand in less than three four years to war pro- ducton.
 With the growing conviction that the atomic bomb is an instrument of air power, lack of sut- ficieny large aircraft industry is becoming one or the chief worries of Air Force strateg1sts In the event of another war they point out the U s. won't have couple of years to expand it's industries the hard way. America must have reserve aircraft industry This is why they fear Congress is going overheard on research and forgetting the practical side of preparedness.
 Pure research, which engineers define the entertainment of basic facts theories, is not an end in itself It must be translated into practical, useful weapon, Air Force production experts claim
 Experience with the atomic bomb itself and syn thetic rubber given as the best examples o1 Ils thesis American scientists had the theory and basic formulas of artificial rubber long before the war. Producing it was the big job The theories of nuclear physics which led to making the atomic bomb have been known abstractly for years It was industry which eventually made lot ot scr1opleo 1ormuiaS and ideas into a real bomb. Industrial strength was as important scientific strength
 This is said to be especially true in aeronautical development. Research by government agency might turn up a new airfoil But to apply this to prac- tical use it requires design, testing, continuous lr- provement to take out bugs, and more testing men you only have airplane. Further, it can't be proved as an effective weapon it is claimed, until several hundred have been produced and tested in tactical operations.

But here is what happened: When they went back to the committee, both argued against the oll just as before The morning after his White House visit, Manasco even read to the committee several sections from the Soviet Constitution Sarcastlcay he remarked: If we pass the Full Employment Bll we might as well pass this, too"
 Observers on Capitol Hill say the Full Employ ment Bill as Truman outlined it, doesn't have chance of getting out of the House Committee. Tine only Democrat who speaks up wig sously TOT It IS Alexander Resa, a freshman Congressman from Hi nois and former law school professor in Chicago
 
 While no public announcements have been made Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach has made encour- aging reports to the White House regarding threat ened strikes in the auto industry.
 One important factor in behind the scenes nego- tatons is the intense competition between the three big motor producers-Ford, General Motors and Chrysler AS long the three dc not stick together in last-dtch fight against the United Auto work ers the chances for settlement are reasonably good For none of the Big Three" wants to his plant shut down by costly strike while his competitors producing.
 So Secretary Schwellenbach has been quietly and shrewdy playing the three big manufactV against each other in hope of settling the dispute That is the current strategy. Already Henry Ford Il mas told Schwelenbach that he wants to cooperate with the union and to lesser extent Chryser Corporation also has shown conciliatory spirit
 Biggest nut Schwellenbach has to crack is Gen. eral Motors which far has resisted all efforts to submit it's wage battle to negotiation Of the unions 30-per-cent wage-ncreaSe demand.
 However if Schwellenbach is able to get Ford and Chrysler to agree to compromise settlenent-thus heading off strike in the two plants-General Motors is not likely to risk strike while its two big competitors producing cars.
 The Auto Union leaders, the other hand, may find themselves losing government good will unless they also play ball with government negotiators by agreeing to compromise their 30-per-cent wage ln- find the three auto manufacturers presenting solid front against them.

GRACE
(Hartford Courant)

Perhaps because most men are now far from the sources of the food they eat, the time-honored custom of saying grace before or after meals has been abandoned in many homes. When the husbandman saw set be- fore him the produce of his labor, wrested from the good earth, it was not difficult for him to feel deeply the source of his abundance and to say humbly, Heavenly Father, bless this food for our use and us to Thy service"
 But Americans today have more reason than almost any other peo- pie to thank God as they sit down at every meal For in this country tables are more heavily laden than anywhere else. In much of Europe the. winds of winter this year will bring with them suffering, starva- tion and death. There, what is cast away from. the American table would provide sumptuous meal.
 Grace need not be spoken. It can be merely a conscious feeling of thankfulness. It need not be crystallized in formal prayer. h. deed there are few prayers of grace as simply effective or as sincere as that uttered in thousands of humble homes a generation ago. It was merely, Thanks be to God I've hao enough"
