after this war To farmers, unem- ployment means shrinking markets and prices for farm products. To labor 1t means reduced standard of living, Ill health, and all of the mis- cry that goes with unemployment. To farmers, chronic mass unemployment further means that millions will be driven off their own land to work the land of others for low and uncertain wages, and to go to the cities to com pete with city wage-earners for few CT and fewer jobs at lower and low CT wages.

In the last depression, farmers burned IO-cent corn and 3O-cent wheat while miners and factory workers and their families went hungry. Neither could buy the others prod ucts.
 Labor has the problem of monopo- lies and cartels limiting production, thus reducing employment opportu- mites. Farmers have a similar prob lem-the difference between family type farms and the big commercial ized and industrialized farms. The small farmer finds it difficult to com pete with the industrialized farm, which we call factories in the field.

Conn. F Farmer-Labor Unity Urqed

The Connecticut Farm Bu- reau Federation, meeting at the Hotel Bond Tuesday, re- ceived a recommendation that organized labor and the farm. CTS of this state establish ca closer relationship"
 The recommendation was made by Harold V. Feinmark, secretary-treasurer of the Con necticut Federation of Labor, who told the Farm Bureau Fed eration that "we have many problems which are mutual to both groups, and which cannot be solved unless we understand each other, and work together"
 Feinmark is believed to be the first representative of or. ganized labor asked to address the farmers organization. He said, in part:
 AGREE ON ISSUES
 ''One of the first plans I made when was elected secretary-treas urer of the Connecticut Federation of Labor was to find out if it was possible to establish n closer re lationship between the working people and the farmers of oul state. That is why, when I say that I am glad to be here, an not making routine opening statement. am convinced, as hope you are, that we have many problems which are mutual to botl

 Local NIB. 1870, I.B.E.W.
 "What did Rockbestos offer?" This question was eagerly put to the nego- tiating committee by local officers and stewards as they met Sunday at the New Haven Labor Temple for a re- port on the following demands of Local 1870:
 l. A 3O% wage increase to off set an announced 4O-hOur work week.
 2. Straight time pay for holi- days not worked.
 3. Six days cumulative sick leave pay per year.
 4. Three weeks vacation for all employees with Is years seniority or more. (It is now l week for one year; two weeks for 5 years and over.)
 5. Pro-rated vacation pay for employees laid-Off because of lack of work.
 6. A modified closed shop.
 The answer left dark brown taste! The negotiating committee re- ported that the Company will not agree to negotiate the above demands on the ground that they have noth- ing to do with Executive Order No. 9240.
 A CALM APPROACH!
 Our members will boil when they hear this We won't be able to stop them from walking out" In spite of statements such as these, the Officers and Stewards pledged to support a move by the Local Union to ad- wise its membership not to resort to walkouts until all means of collective bargaining had been exhausted.
 That's throwing fuel on the fire p shouted one of the Stewards when they were told that the Company

groups, and which cannot be solved unless we understand each other, and work together"
 Let me point out at the very out set some of the issues on which, believe, we are in complete agree ment. Working farm peoples post war hopes and fears-are very much the same as labor's hopes and fears.
 Farmers hope for a just and last ing peace among the nations and within the United States. So does labor, of course. Farmers hope for fuIl production and employment. So does labor. Last year, all three farm organizations at their conventions, went on record in favor of world organization to make and keep the peace. So did organized labor.
 Both farmers and labor fear a return to chronic mass unemployment

Conn. Councils Drive Helped To
 Achieve Results
State Board Pushes For Passage Of Wagner
 Ellender Bill

Success this week crowned several months of intense ac- tivity by the Connecticut State Building and Construction Trades Council, together with building trades councils throughout the country, to bring an end to the Wage StabilizatiOn Agreement, and to the Wage Adjustment Board.
 A letter received by James OKane, secretary-treasurer of the State Building Trades Coun- Gil, from Herbert A. Rivers, secretary of the A.F.L.'s Build ing and Construction Trades De- partment, announces that these objectives have been accom- plished. The text of the letter from Rivers follows:
 ENDS NOV. 18
 "The Executive Council had un- der consideration the termination date of the StabilizatiOn Agreement which was entered into August l. I941, at its October 1913, 1945, meeting and it was the decision of the Executive Council that this agreement should be withdrawn as of November l8, 1945.
 The question of overtime rates and other working conditions which were changed by the StabiI- izatiOn Agreement will be a subject for National and International un- ion and local unions to adjust with their employers.
 ''The Wage StabilizatiOn Agree ment which was entered into May 22, l942, between the National and International Unions in afiIia- tiOn with this Department and the Department of Labor was also can- celled and withdrawn effective as of November 18, l945. No cases will be received by the Wage Ad- justment Beard after October P, l945."
 OFFICE TO OPEN
 The State Building Trades Coun- Gil was hitting on all cylinders this week. Preparations for opening the State Office in New Haven are al- most completed, and plans will be an- nounced at the meeting of the execu- tive board, to be held in New Haven Wednesday, Nov. 7 at II AM. The meeting with the State Wage Board was highly successful, and the cam paign for all locals to order their Victory Campaign" buttons is mak- ing progress. It is clear that the State Building Trades Council is one of the most active in the country, and even larger results could be obtained if more locals would pitch in and give their full support.
 HOUSING BILL
 Passage of the Wagner-EIlender Housing Bill (S. lS2O), is one of the outstanding Objectives of the building trades at this time, and Connecticut is doing its full share to insure victory in this campaign.
 This bill sets up a cOmprehen- sive national housing policy, and is intended to encourage a con- structiOn drive which will result in the building of l,5OO,OOO new homes each year for the next ten years. In addition, it is the only tangible proposal now before Con- gress for the creation of millions of new jobs.
 BARRY URGES ACTION
 President Michael J. Barry of the State Council this week issued an urgent appeal to all locals and build ing trades councils to write their congressman and senators urging them to obtain immediate action on, and vote for the bill

Labor View
NO BACK-TO-AFRICA, BUT
By George F. McCray

NO BACK-TO-AFRICA, BUT
Of course those Back-to-Africa
remarks made by advertising man
w. B. Ziff, lately turned author and
specialist on race relations, will be
resented by Negroes.
However, the basic idea of unity
and cooperation between African,
West Indian, and other American
Negroes is definitely sound. For
whether we call it discrimination in
the Americas or imperialism in AT
RIGA, the methods used to express
and exploit Negro labor all over the
world are fundamentally the same.
These means are segregation, de-
nial of political rights, and various
forms of forced labor or job dis
elimination.
Though all Negroes have great
deal in common, American Negroes
will be suspicious of the motives of
any white man who proposes At
rica as even a partial solution for
the problems in democracy and cit
izenship in the United States. Ne
groes believe that men like Ziff
and Bilbo are really trying to
weaken and frustrate our fight for
economic equality and political de-
mocracy in the United States. Ac-
tually few white employers in the
south want to get rid of their Ne
gro labor.
While attempting to prevent our
enemies from weakening our fight
for our hard-earned citizenship
rights, it would be sad mistake if
we did not strengthen our efforts
to build strong bond of unity be-
tween Negro peoples on a world
wide basis. The need for such unity
is greater now than ever, for iso-
lation among various Negro ma
tionality groups is as out of date
as is isolation between nations. Ne
gro workers and peasant farmers
in the West Indies, Africa, and
South America have moved for
ward rapidly since the last war.
