Painters Seek Enforcement Of 1945Contract
New Haven Local Stops Work In 3 Shops-New
 York Wins Victory

A strong drive to obtain enforce ment of the contract signed last March with Local No. l86, Paint CTS Union, by the master painters of New Haven who use union Ia- bOr, is being conducted by the LO- cal. All but three shops are abid- ing by the contract, and the union members of these three shops have refused to report for work until the terms of the contract are observed. According to Business Agent Saul Kreas. the union ex- poets that the situation in these three shops will soon be brought to a satisfactory conclusion for all concerned.
 Under the terms of the contract, signed five months ago, members of the union obtained an increase of $1 a day, and vacations with pay.
 Even the three shops which have yet to live up to the terms of the contract had agreed to do so last week, when they were per- suaded to reverse their stand by John J. Fitzgerald of Danbury, representing the Conn. Council of Painting and Decorating Contrac- tors, who is known as a non-uniOn contractor.

Federation Head Says Strikes Are Being Provoked
Urges Labor To Begin Plan. ming For Forthcoming
 Political Activity

Stating that the situation both in Connecticut and in Washington ''clearly show that there is a concerted drive on to force down the wage and living standards of organized labor," Harold V. Feinmark, secretary-treasurer of the Con- necticut Federation of Labor today urged all A.F.L. unions i'm this state to begin planning now for political action in this years municipal cam paigns, and i'm the state and national elections to be held next year.
 STRIKES BEING PROVOKED
 ''It is my considered opinion" Feinmark said, ''that the only way to explain the fact that Congress has not yet passed legislation to supplement the present inade- quate Unemployment Compensa- ton benefits, is the fear that the decent wage standards that organ ized labor has been able to estab- fish, will be continued in the post war period. For the same reason, certain employers are working overtime to provoke strikes.
 The opposition to the Murray Wagner -Dingell Social Security Bill is so intense that hearings have not yet been held on this measure, one of the most important on the legis- lative calendar if workers and their families are to achieve reasonable degree of security.
 Congress also is baking at pass ing such important legislation as a 65-cent hourly minimum wage, with out which purchasing power cannot be maintained; is turning its back on a permanent Fair Employment Pras- tices Act, the implication being that discrimination because of race, reli- zion, or color are acceptable demo- cratic practices, once the war erner gency officially is over"
 THE OLD RUNAROUND
 On the Connecticut scene, Fein- mark said, the hesitancy to call a special session of the Legislature is deplorable.
 ssIn Connecticut" he added, Eve are told to wait until Washington acts. In Washington, we are told we cannot interfere with skate's rights.
 We in organized labor are con- vinced that there is a concerted drive on to force down the wage and living standards of organized labor, and we do not intend to sit by and let it hap pen.
 eve believe that Congress can still be brought to its senses, and made to act for the good of the en- tire nation. We believe that the thinking people of Connecticut will oppose a policy of drifting along, and letting nature take its course.'
 ''In the meantime, however, it is not too early for organized labor in this state to begin planning its

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

WE LIKE the remark made by Bob Schecter, B.A., of New Haven Musicians Union. Speaking against non-union bands playing at block parties, Bob pointed out that the cost of a union band is not larger, because ''five union musicians can do a better job than II or 12 non- union musicians" It's the truth, and applies in other fields sas well.
 TOP PRIZE for ingenuity to counteract wartime shortages goes to the Waterbury American and Re- publican, which carried this cIassi- fled ad: "Over 60 pieces of inlaid linoleum at 1/3 off. Suitable for bathroom, panties and small kitch- ens."
 WHEREVER you find low wage levels, you find working people un- dernourished, and you find lower health standards, too; more crime and juvenile delinquency. poverty and crime walk hand in hand, treading in the footsteps of ignor- ance. It was only few weeks ago that the surgeon general of the United States Public Health Serv- ice, testifying before Senate conn., nittee, pointed out what health conditions depend on wage levels.
 When working people organize into unions and improve their own condition economically, the inevit- able result is better health and a more law-abiding people.
 REMEMBER: Sen. Hart of Conn. joined with such 'Sfriends'' of the working people of this coun- try as Senators Taft, O'DanieI. Bilbo, and Capehart, to vote against the Barkeley amendment to the unemployment compensation bill giving $25 a week as maximum to jobless Americans. Sen. Me Mahon voted right!
 On the roll call, l9 Democrats, mostly from the polltax south, joined with B Republicans to de- feat the Barkeley amendment. Only three Republicans, and the lone Progressive, LaFollette, voted for the $25 measure.

 The newest bombshe thrown into the ranks of orkars the Labor Department is the fact has given notice that it will appeal to the Superior Court to obtain reversal of decision which holds that vacation fund benefits are in no way related to unemployment compensation.
