may be made for not more than 25% additional.
 The bill allows U. s. grants to states to expand public health ser vices. The government will pay at least 25% of amounts spent by state and up to 754o, depending on a states per capita income.
 Grants for Maternal and Child
 Health
 In the same way as above, states may get U. s. funds for maternal. child health and welfare services.
 Public Assistance Program

 National Social Insurance

'Honest-To-Cod'
 Family Budget Is OrderedByHouse
Labor Department Gets Funds To Revise Cost Of
 Living Statistics

''HOnest-tO-COd, up-tO-date fig ures,' showing what it costs for an average family to live decently may be provided as a result ot House action this week.
 An amendment to the appropria ton bill of the Department of La Dor contains a grant of $586,OOC and makes it mandatory" for the Bureau of Labor Statistics to spend that amount in working out a family budget in the light of pres. ent-day conditions.
 The amendment was sponsored by Congressman Albert J. Engel (Rep., Mich.), who declared that the De partment of Labor is now using the 1885 W.P.A. figures as base for its 1o45 cost-of-living index.
 This is a great injustice to work CTS Engel, said, as it gives wholly distorted picture of what the average family has to contend with.
 Yet, on the adequacy of this official budget, Enge1 said, depends the very lives of millions of workers.
 Emphasizing the point, Engel said that the budget allows a fam. fly living in Washington $29.37 a month for rental. He added il s0Ould be impossible to obtain q chicken coop for that amount. In Detroit, where rents have also sky. rocketed, the rental allowance is only $27 month. Of course, such estimates are ghastly jokes.
 Yet, on the adequacy of the
 official budget, Engel said, de-
 bends the very lives of millions
 of workers.
 He asserted that last year there were q 100000 individuals with an- nual incomes of a thousand dollars or under. Sixty per cent of all the national income last year went to in- dividuals with incomes of $3OOO a year or under, and 80 per cent had incomes under $5,0OO.
 The Department of Labor index figures that during the war the cost of living has increased only about 25 per cent, but Engel insisted that it is costing workers today $1.3l to SLAB to buy what a dollar bought m 1859. That statement sustains claims by organized labor.
 The appropriation bill covered not only the Department of Labor, but Social Security, the National Labor Relations Board and other agencies handling labor matters.

A.F.L. Endorses
 SchlUelLenbach

AFL indorsement of the appointment of Judge Lewis B. Schwellenbach of Wash ington state to become secre- tary of labor came swiftly after the announcement from the White House.
 Pres. William Green said, Eve regard Judge Schwellen- bach as a most capable and well-qualified man to serve. He showed that he possessed a very clear understanding of labor and labor problems when he served in the US. Senate. His record there was excellent from a labor point of view. We look forward to his service as secretary of La bor with a feeling of confi- dence and satisfaction and will gladly cooperate with him as fully and completely as possible"
 Green concluded by say- ing that the AFL hoped Sch- welIenbach would ''set up an advisory committee SO that we may serve with him and cO- operate with him in his work as Secretary of Labor."

Veterans Plan To
 Take New Jobs

WASHINGTON = Less than a third of the 10 million GIs in the U. 5. army plan to go into govern ment service or set up their own busi- ness after the war. Among the more than two-thirds left, only about half the whites and third of the Negro enlisted men plan to return to the same type of job they left in civilian life.
 These statements came from the War Dept. in survey of postwar plans of troops made by the Army Service Forces If the survey proves accurate, about 21z million men who were employees before the war, expect to go back to their old boss to claim their pre-war job.
 Over a million men say they plan to be self-emp1oyed upon discharge, while 89o say they plan to attend full time schools.

AFL Calls Upon Congress To Pass Nev
 Social Security Measure Without Delay

WASHINGTON = Calling upon Congress to pass the measure without delay, AFL Pres. William Green has indorsed the new Wag- ner-Murray-Dingell social security bill as an improvement over the similar measure introduced last year.
 Greens statement said: Enact ment of this measure will provide the American people with a well-rounded social security program for their pro- lection during the transition period between war and peace and during the years to come.
 Particularly important at this time are the provisions for a com prehensive unemployment com pensation system, with uniform benefits throughout the nation. Only by such action can millions of war workers and returning service men be safeguarded against un- necessary hardships arising from temporary unemployment during tho recOnversiOn period and in any subsequent economic crisis.
 Basic Protection
 Tn addition, the new Wagner-Mur- ray bill offers basic projections against the economic hazards of illness, tenn porary disability, extended disability, old age, and retirement. It extends the benefits of old age and survivors insurance to IS million persons now excluded.
 ''The AFL is proud of the fact that it originally sponsored this leg islation and has consulted closely with Sen. Wagner and his col leagues in efforts to improve and protect it.
 "A full measure of social security against the economic hazards of our complicated economic civilization must be guaranteed by human govern ment to every American family. Social security means more than pro- lection to the individual and his fam fly. It provides insurance for the free enterprise system against its own shortcomings and serves to butress the American way of life"
 Liberalized Measure
 The new Wagner-Murray-Dingell bill calling for wide expansion of fed eral social security laws and extend ing benefits to Is million persons now not covered, was introduced in the Senate May "A by Sen. Robert F. Wagner CD. ND Sponsoring the liberalized bill with him are Sen. James Murray CD. Mont and Rep. John Dingell CD. Mich.)
 The bill provides protection against the major economic haz. ards facing American families. whether they be on farms or in in. dustry or private professions and trades. It covers costs of medical and hospital care, loss of income from unemployment, temporary sickness, extended disability. re. tirement or death of the family breadwinner.

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

EVERY two years about this time, thoughtful citizens of Con- necticut are dislnayed that their Legislature is again dealing with patronage snarled up in partisan politics while important legislation is given the go-bye. A more cyni- cal exhibition of responsibility by legislative body would be hard to find in any of the 48 states of the Union. In the few days that re- main before the Legislature ad- Journs, you can be sure of only one thing-the patronage boys will get the jobs, paid for at public ex- pense.
 But what about improvements in our Unemployment Compensation Act, our Workmcn's Compensation Laws, and number of other bills which affect 90 per cent of the people of our State? What about the Fair Employment Practices Act, already passed by the Senate? Will the House of Representatives. again live up to its reputation of being the graveyard of progressive legis- latiOn?" The stench coming from the State Capitol is reaching even those people who normally take no interest in good government.
 THE New Haven Board of Alder men meets Monday night, and is expected to pass the ordinance pre- scented by the New Haven Central Labor Council, which protects all city employees i'm their right to join an organization of their own choosing. We wouldn't be sur- prised if the vote was unanimous.
 UNLESS the last-minute scram- ble for jobs interferes, the Legis- lature is expected to pass S.B. 32O, which provides that the city of New Haven pay the prevailing wage on all municipal construction and remOdeling work. Johnny Caspic advises us that the Senate unani- mously passed the bill, sponsored by the city of New Haven and the New Haven Building Trades Coun- cil, and the House will also pass it, unless

 APPROVED BY BOARD
 The plan which the union repre- sentatives will consider was drawn up by a committee of Is New Eng land representatives of the Build ing and Construction Trades called together by John J. Murphy, New England Regional Director of the A.F.L. Barry and O'Kane repre- sented Connecticut at the initial meetings called by Murphy. Barry was a member of the committee which drew up the recommends 7 tiOns.
 The executive board of the Con- necticut State Council has approved of the plan with a few changes, and has added few recommendations of its own.
 Following, in part, is the plan pro- posed by the committee representing the New England Building trades:
 TEXT OF PLAN
 The following proposed tentative plan is made following a series of meetings held in Boston by New Eng land representatives of the Building and Construction Trades of the American Federation of Labor.
 The Building and Construction Trades Department of the A. F. of L. was formed in 1908 for the purpose of consolidating 1abor's forces in the building industry. Under this form of organization, which has continued up to date, with minor changes, the building trades workers have bene- fitted materially, the standard of liv- ing has been raised, hours of labor lessened and working conditions greatly improved.
 However, the law of change is ever at work and to keep pace with new methods and practices that have been introduced into the building and construction industry. it is imperative that we rearrange our present organizational set up in order to permit a growth and ex- pansion which will create a stronger and more unified organization from the bottom to the top, thereby protecting the workers engaged in the industry and providing broader coverage which will stimulate un- ionization of workers now in branches or operations partly or ganized and in many cases totally unorganized, although the trade or craft jurisdiction is not challenged.
 To accomplish the purpose of re- organizing our present structure and extending the benefits and coverage of our existing unions to include

One National System

Everything is included under one national system with one set of con- tributions and one set of records. Special federal aid is provided to help states with 1ow-income clauses in their present social security laws to bring them up to a better, higher level
 Sen. Wagner, i'm introducing the bill said he was authorized to say that the bill has the strong in- dorsement of inc responsible and patriotic American labor leader ship, organized in the AFL and the CIO, and of the National Farmers Union. The health provisions of the bill have the inducements of many persons and organizations working in medical care and re- lated fields. Legislation providing grants for hospital construction have been indorsed by the Ameri- can Medical Assn., the American Hospital Assn. and the American Public Health Assn. and various la- bor, welfare, farm and other pulp lie organizations"
 Here are the main provisions of the new Wagner -Murray-Dingell bill;
 Construction of Health Facilities
 Provision for 10 year program of federal grants and loans for building and expanding hospitals, health centers and related facili- ties with the U. s. to pay at least 25% and up to SO% of the cost on sliding scale depending on a States per capita income. Loans
