Ceelan Requests Quick Action On
 Meat Shortage
Urges Bowles Give His Personal Attention To
 Serious Situation
Especial to The Union Tines)

Especial to The Union Times)
 WASHINGTON, D. C.-Pointing out that the shortage of meat in New Haven and the East Shore dis trict has reached serious prOpor- tiOns, Rep. James P. Ceelan of New Haven today urged O.P.A. Ad- ministratOr Chester BOwles to take immediate action to alleviate the situation.
 Rep. Ceelan sent the following self-explanatory letter to MT. Bowles:
 ''Dear MT. Bowles:
 ''I am in grateful receipt of your kind letter of May Both and note with considerable satisfaction the progress being made in checking black market operations and mak- ing available to more people the admittedly short supply of avail able beef.
 My particular interest, as you will recall, is in those areas such as the East Shore District of Connecticut and other resort areas who will have greatly swelled populations during the coming months.
 "As result of correspondence I have had with dealers in this East Shore District 1 am enclosing copies of replies I have received from them and respectfully call your attention to the paragraph in one of the letters re- ceived to the effect that black markets have existed and are still operating I know you will treat this cores pondence with the judicious discreet ness that they require to the end that the situation may be corrected with out any injury to the patriotic in former.
 ''I also respectfully call your at- tentiOn to the fact that despite your encouraging report the dealers in the City of New Haven and in the East Shore District are receiving less meat now than they have ever received before. This situation has become so bad that learned in the press of the fact that Mayor Mur- phy has called this to your atten- tiOn through Senator McMahOn. I join the Senator in calling to your attention the seriousness of this plight and respectfully request that additional steps be taken to the end that more meat may be sent into those areas immediately.
 May I also suggest that you ad- wise me the reason why a number of presently non-federa1 inspected slaugh- ter houses could hot obtain federal inspection to the end that there would be more available meat for interstate transportation
 '''Your personal and immediate attention to this very serious situ- ation is earnestly and respectfully requested"

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

THAT gurgling noise you heard about noon Tuesday came from The Staf, which gave up trying to find out what the Legislature would do between then and Wednesday night, when it had to adjourn. We hope to report in full next week. but can't help you with that smell created by both parties as they fought to the last minute over political patronage.
 ORGANIZED labor in Conn. is glad that women school teachers who do the same work are to be paid the same rates of pay that men receive. Labor has always fought for the principle of equal pay for equal work. The next step is for all Conn. teachers to join the American Federation of Teach CTS, in order to obtain adequate salaries and tenure. Too many teachers are paying $1O and $15 a week in dues because they are not part of the family of labor. BOB SCHECTER, Business Agent of New Haven Musicians. No. 234, in correcting an error created by a previous announce ment, tells us that Top Hat and MeadOwbrOOk Inn are favorable to union workers.
 PROPOSALS to assess the mem bership to build up defense funds and to increase the salaries of vice. presidents of the International Ty- geographical Union were defeated by impressive totals in a national referendum recently conducted. Sec. Jack Gill announced in Indian. apOlis this week. The vote against assessing the membership F of 19G of income was 28.899 to 23,778 for, and the vote against the pay raise for officers was 31,363 to l9,36O for. Gill said the figures are final and official and that off cers would comment in the next is sue of the Typographical Journal

Improved Unemployment Compensation Laevs Immediately Needed, Collins Says

sumner expenditures will decline and business will be adversely affected.
 ''Let us hope that Congress wakes up soon and passes the emergency legislation recommended by the Presi- dent"
 Collins criticized the States Gen eral Assembly for not having acted favorably on the Federation of La bor's proposal to increase the period of unemployment compensation to 26 weeks.
 Sentiment in the House, I un- derstand," he said, ''favors extend ing the payment period only to 20 weeks. Apparently the Manufactur- CTS Association which has followed its usual course of opposing pro- gressive labor laws has more influ- ence with the House than Governor Baldwin who has recommended that the Unemployment Compensa- ton Act should be iberalized fair y.
 Reports from Hartford indi- cate that the Workmen's Compen- sation Act will be improved and that a Second Injury Fund will be created. Here again we have had to contend with the bitter opposi- ton of the Manufacturers Associa- ton which has exerted its efforts to stynie worth while legislation, and as consequence amendments to the WOrkmen's Compensation Act that will be adopted will not be as favorable as we had hoped.

Teamsters, 443, Give War Bonds To Fire Victims
Four Youngsters, Orphaned By Disaster, Each To Get
 $1OO War Bond

Four New Haven youngsters whose parents were burnt to death last De- cember, and who now are living with their grandmother, are each to re- ceive a $100 War Bond, the gift of the members of Local 443, New Haven Teamsters Union.
 Last December 30, 1944, a fire broke out in the home of MT. and Mrs. Frank Fawcett, who were Ev- ing with their four children at 45 Thompson Street. Both parents died in the fire, and the youngest of the children, Helen aged 4, was severely burnt, and there was little hope that she would survive. In ad- ditiOn to Helen, the Fawcetts were survived by three children of Mrs. Fawcett's first marriage, Marion IS, Robert IA, and Hughie 8.
 The four children were taken in by their grandmother, Mrs. Frances Pulaski, who is 61 years old, and lives at 9 Hazel Street. Mrs. Pulaski is a widow, and her sole support is her son John, who IS now in the U. s. Army.
 It is the policy of Local 443 each year to help the victims of some disaster by choosing a family in need, and taking up a collection among the membership. This has been done many times in the past, and it is the hope of Local 443 that other labor organizations and civic groups will follow the same prac- tice. The plight of these four children was such that the Team sters Union decided to make them the recipient of their award this year, and a committee of No. 443 undertook to raise funds among the members. This effort, as in the past, was highly successful, and as a result, the four children are

mass unemployment is not upon us the Presidents proposal can wait. Must millions of workers haunt the unem- ployment offices before Congress will act? Does the conservative prediction of Chairman J. A. Krug of the War Production Board that in a few months two million workers will be jobless mean nothing to them?
 ''As the President has pointed out, Congress has enacted legisla- ton to relieve business of possible losses during the reconversion pc. riod, it has provided unemployment benefits for jObless veterans and has set up program of subsidies to aid farmers. But labor has been left to suffer the loss of income during the transition period with out assistance from Congress.
 We are justified in asking the Senators and Representative from this state to make labor's sentiment known in Washington. that labor feels Congress is singularly unappre- (ldllNC Ol lllC octNl l1lNCS WOl Have made in staying on their jobs to speed victory when other opportunities beckoned."
 Obviously referring to recent radio talk by Representative Clare Booth Luce, Collins said, ''Labor is less alarmed about the spread of Communism in Europe than of the discomfort of American workers that is liable to develop if more thought is not devoted to assuring speedy employment for displaced workers and veterans, meanwhile making provisions to pay unem- ployed workers adequate compen- satiOn benefits.
 President Truman soundly pointed out that unless workers can depend upon definite payments for definite length of time while they are unem- ployed in the reconversion period con-

LEADERS COMMENT
 The leaders of the three muni- cipal workers unions in New Ha- ven were Overjoyed at the passing of the ordinance. George F. Law.
