Don't Let Them Fool You On DOT Supply

Consumers who rushed to buy the first supplies of DOT, the new miracle insect killer developed by the army, found themselves duped into paying ex- orbitant prices for ineffective amounts of DOT literally dissolved in water and kerosene.
 Although solutions should contain at least 5@o of DOT to be effective, manufacturers are not required to state the percentage used on their labels. In the mad scramble to capi- talize on the demand for the new in secticide, some manufacturers got away with using as little as 12 of 196 of DOT. And only consumer vigilance will be able to stop them from con tinuing to cheat the public.
 The U. s. Public Health Service is warning all consumers against buy ing the weak solutions, pointing out that they might just as we'll use a baseball bat against household pests.

Building Trades Seek Green sAid
 On Wage Freeze
Conn. Council Protests Continued Authority Of
 Adjustment Board

The Connecticut State Building & Construction Trades Council has no intention of dropping its fight against the ruling that the wage scales of building trades unions are still subject to the approval of the Wage Adjustment Board.
 Last week Secretary Treasurer James O'Kane, acting upon instruc- tions from the executive board of the Council, sent a strong protest to the A.F.L.'s Building Trades Department This week, acting again upon authori- Zation of the executive board, O'Kane sent the following self-explanatory letter to A.F.L. President William Green:
 ''Dear Sir X Brother:
 Enclosed please find copy of protest sent to the Building Trades Department on General Order No. Al of the National War Labor Board dated August 22, 1945; also on the continuation of the Stabil- izatiOn Agreement as we are back right now to where it became neces- sary in April l944 to bring private construction under the same terms as the federal construction work under the StabilizatiOn Agreement. The time is long overdue to re- verse the procedure by eliminating all controls. We feel that the building trades mechanics have done their part very we'll by living up to all restric- tions imposed upon them by said Stabilization Agreement in spite of the fact that Price Control had failed completely to hold down the cost of living.
 'sWe know we are in the midst of struggle between the Manufac- turers Association, the Associated General Contractors and various other SO called civic minded groups who have been sharpening the axe with view to doing away with wage standards established by col lective bargaining. On this issue Labor must stand united. | Earnestly soliciting your support on this issue and with kind personal regards, I remain,
 Fraternally yours,
 Connecticut State Building &
 Construction Trades Council

Here's Why Jobs Are Minus T akers

Washington (LPA)-Buried in a War ManpOwer Commission tele- graph roundup of layOffs around the country during the past week was the answer to the riddle: s'Why are many jobs still going a-begging at a time when millions are un- employed?'
 The answer, revealed in the sur- vey, is that on the jobs available wages are miserably low. Naturally, unemployed workers won't take them, except as last resort
 Here are examples of the wages being paid, as brought to light by the WING in its city-by-city checkup.
 BRIDGEPORT, HARTFORD
 Bridgeport, COnn.-About 1900 job openings are reported, but half of them pay only 50 to 75c an hour.
 Hartford, COnn.-Unfilled open ings are 2,5OO, but 200 offer less than Soc an hour, 2,OOO from 50 to 75c, and only 300 pay 75c or over.
 Portland, Me.-Openings, 1,40O Of these, 300 pay less than soc; 800 from 50 to 74c; only 300, over 75c.
 Portsmouth, N. H,-1,9O0 openings HOO at less than 40c; 18O at 40 to 4oc; 1,200 at 50 to 75c, and only $40 over 75c.
 EImira, N. Y.-19OO openings 20 less than 4Oc; 18O at 40 to 49c 1900 at 50 to 75c, and only $40 over 75c.
 Little Rock, Ark.-l5OO open. ings-4OO less than Soc; 900 50 to 75c and 200 over 75c.
 Austin, Tex = 500 openings = 19O less than 40c; 90 between 40 and 49c 40 from 50 to 75c; and only 20 over 75c.
 These cities were selected at ran. dom from the survey, but they are typical of the wage levels prevail ing on available jobs in all parts of the nation, the report disclosed.

Colorado Employees Vote For AFL Union


 DENVER-Colorado employment service employees voted three to one in favor of affiliating with the Ameri- can Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees rather than the CLIO. The vote was 93 to 31-an overwhelming victory for the AFS, &ME.
 The C.I.O., being the losing union, will withdraw from all organizational activities for at least one year as pro- vided in an agreement signed before the bal1oting took place
 H. R. Mueller, AFSC&ME general representative who has conducted an intensive organizational drive in Col orado, said, With the full support of the Colorado State Federation and 'A.F.L. central bodies throughout the state we were bound to win"

State Federation Leaders Present Hard, Cold Facts
All Crafts And Trades Tell Council Why Emergency
 Session Must Be
 Called By Baldwin

A special session of the General Assembly must be called in the very near future to pass legislation which will help avert another depression.
 This was the unanimous sen timent of leaders of A.F.L. unions in this state who, under the generalship of Secretary Treasurer Harold V. Feinmark of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, presented facts and fig ures to the members of the Con- necticut Legislative Council Tuesday showing why they should recommend to Gov. Ray mond E. Baldwin that he call an emergency session.
 FREDDY OBJECTS-AS USUAL
 In five solid hours of presenting the facts of the situation. the Con- necticut Federation of Labor was ably supported in its stand by rep- resentatives of State CLIO. and its affiIiates.
 The only opposition to united labor's demand for speedy action by the Legislature came from the ex- pected source-Frederick J. Water house, representative of the Manu- lecturers Association of COnnecti- cut. This opposition had been dis counted in advance by the Legisla- tive Council, since MT. Warehouse invariably objects to the legislative proposals of organized labor.
 Feinmark was the first speaker for the AF.L., and said that a special session of the Legislature is impera- tive If, in this state, we are to give at least as much attention to the prob lems of human reconversion as we are giving to the problem of reconverting machines to peacetime production"
 FIvE-POINT PROGRAM
 The Connecticut Federation of Labor, be declared, believes that Gov. Baldwin should call a special session to enact the following legislation:
 l. An unemployment compensa- tion measure which will pay $25 weekly for 26 weeks.
 2. A minimum wage act of CSC per hour.
 3. A broad state program of con- struction and public works.
 4. More assistance to returning veterans.
 5. A Fair Employment Practices Act, which will outlaw discrimina. ton in hiring because of race, re. igion, or color.
 LEADERS SPEAK
 After speaking briefly for these measures, Feinmark called up A.F.L leaders from all sections of the state to tell the Legislative Council why labor favors this program, and its i'm portance to the entire state.
 A brilliant job was done by the

Packaged Porterhouse?

Packers of meats are experiment. ing with freezing retail cuts for dis tribution in packaged form to retail outlets, Bread & Butter reports. Buy CTS will be able to pick up crowr roast, all dressed and wrapped, few seconds after walking into the store.
 Of course, if they prefer to tell the butcher to cut the sirloin a little nearer the hip, they will continue to buy fresh meat. It's expected that the experimental quick-frozen retail cuts will be appearing on counters soon.

Veteran Leaders Hit Political Bloc Plan


 Rival veterans groups voice strong dissent to a proposal by National Commander Edward N. Scheiberling that the American Legion should en- gage in all-out political activity.
 Willard w. Rice, national director of the Disabled Veterans, declared that If the Legion, as a bloc, went into partisan politics, it would be veering close to Fasciism." He was confident the suggestion would be repudiated by the rank and file.
 Omar Ketchum, legislative director of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, said 1t twas foolish to talk about binding into political unit men whose only bonds war former military service"

.O'Toole Asks Help For Farm Workers

To attract labor to farms every thing possible should be done to raise living standards of agricultural em- ployees through increased wages and better living conditions, was the opin- ion expressed by J. Lawrence O'Toole Assistant Secretary Treasurer of the Connecticut Federation of Labor ir a letter to Commissioner of Agricul- ture Frank H. Peet.
 MT. O'Toole who represented labor at the conference on agricultural re- conversion problems last Monday 1T Hartford also urged that labor and social legislation should be enacted to give farm workers some measure o1 security.
 A further suggestion offered was that consideration should be given tc sharing profits derived from the sale of agricultural products as an incen- tive to attract additional farm workers
