CouncilEndorses Petition Against Rankin & Bilbo
Anti-Labor Acts Protested; l; McGovern GEL. Con-
 vention Delegate

The New Haven Central Labor Council, at its meeting Thursday, joined with organized labor and its friends throughout the nation i'm protesting to Congress the wave of anti-labor legislation now before the Senate and the House of Rep- resentatives. By unanimous vote of the delegates, Secretary John Red- inond was instructed to write the Connecticut delegation in Washing ton voicing New Haven Iabor's Op- position to HR 232, the Hobbs Bill, which would put unions under the Anti Racketeering" laws; HR 39S9, introduced by Rep. Smith of Virginia, which makes unions sub- ject to all kinds of law. suits; and President Truman's proposed law for fact-inding committees and a 3O-day 'cooling-off" period.
 The Council voted its support of SB101, which provides for making permanent the Fair Employment Practices Act; the Health Security bill, presented to Congress by Pres. Truman, and adequate appropriations for the United Nations Relief Admin istration.
 Acting upon motion of Professor Millar Burrows, Yale Teachers Un- ion, the Council endorsed a peti. ton to Congress which provides a rebuke for Sen. Theodore C. Bill. bo and Rep. John E. Rankin for their slurs upon Jews, Italians, Ne groes, and other minority groups i'm this country.
 Vincent J. McGovern was elected the Councils delegate to the conven- tion of the Conn. Federation of Labor in accordance with the long-estab- lished tradition that the president represent the Council at the State convention.

Reaction Sets InAs Congress Agenda Swells
n-Busters Vying With Each Other In Proposing
 Crippling Laws

WASHINGTON (LPA) - The drive to put over anti.Ia. bOr Legislation in Congress has reached new peak of viru- fence. ReactiOnaries are try. ing to Out-dO each other i'm the viciOusness of the bills they are offering.
 Foremost on the House cal. endar-and awaiting action at any moment is the Smith Con. nally ''repealer' bill, with rid- CTS calculated to fulfill the widest dreams of 'suniOn-bus- ters." That measure is the joint product of Reps. How. ard W. Smith (D, Va.), Am drew J. May CD. Ky.), and Leslie c. Arends (R. nl.).
 Bad as that bill is, Smith didn't even await House action before he introduced another one far more sweeping and containing enough shackles to paralyze operation of labor unions.
 On top of that, Sem. Joseph H. Ball (R, Minn.) announced he would push for hearings on the no. tOrious Ball-Burton-Hatch bill, which would cripple the Wagner Act, undermine the Norris-LaC Quar- dia anti-injunctiOn bill and impose compulsory arbitration.
 Also, Congressman Sam Hobbs CD, Ala.) is trying to get immediate action on bill which, in the guise of amending the Federal anti-racke- teering act, would outlaw some 1egiti- mate labor activities on pain of pen alties running up to 20 years in jail and $10,0OO fine.

Painters To Hold |Conn.C Conference On Wage Facts
No. 1S6 Calls Session On Problem Of Uniform
 Agreements

A statewide meeting of all Painters unions in Connecticut, to act on the problem of uniform wage scales, has been called by No. l86, New Haven, upon the pro. posal of Business Agent Saul Kreas. The meeting has been call. ed for Sunday, Jan. 6 at 10 AM. at the N. H. Labor Temple.
 Following is the text of the letter sent to the local unions by Business Agent Kreas:
 Dear Brothers:
 "The time to negotiate a new agreement with our employers is ap- preaching. It is natural that the rank and file of the Painters Unions should decide what changes they wish to make in reference to wages and other Union conditions, before we meet with the employers. Our changes in the agreement must be practical and realistic.
 up to this year every painters Union i'm the state of Connecticut, worked out its agreement indepen. dently. One Local Union did moi take advantage of the neighborine Local Unions experience. As re. suit the wages and working cOndi. tions of one locality differed from its neghboring locality and i, worked to the disadvantage of both.
 ''Painters Union Local 186 at its last regular meeting decided to call a conference of all Local Un. ions of our Brotherhood in our state to discuss the possibility of working out uniform agreemen, for negotiation with our employers.
 sYou are therefore invited to send 2 or 3 delegates (preferably your president and Business Agent) to a conference which will take place Sunday, Jan. 6, l946 a, 1O:OO AM. at l37 Coffe Street, New Haven, Conn.
 Any agreement reached at the aforementioned conference will moi be binding upon any local participat- ing.
 Should we succeed in the above mentioned attempt it. will definitely be helpful in our negotiations with the employers and as result it will help the painting industry. Hoping that this question will receive your serious consideration and that you will act favorably. Please make sure that your delegation brings with them a copy of your present agreement"

Conn. Council l6 To Meet Monday
 With Governor
Session Arranged By Fein- mark-1O,OOO Sign Peti-
 ton For Pay Raise

Conn. Council l6, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees announce through their state president, Geo. w. Thorpe, that their effort to gain public support and endorse ment of petition and resolution which calls for wage increases for state workers, has resulted i'm the final reception by that organization of over 10000 signed copies, 1000 of which are from individual voters and taxpayers other than state em- ployees.
 President Thorpe also announced that meeting has been arranged by Harold V. Feinmark, Secretary Treasurer of the Connecticut Fedora ton of Labor, with Governor Bald win, Commissioner of Finance Lowell and Personnel Director Scoboria in the Governors office on Monday, Dec. 17th at 2:3O P. M. for a frank dis cussion of this entire situation now facing State Employees.
 The State Federation of Labor and Council l6 wish to also bring the attention of the Personnel Committee to the following: that our two neighboring states, New York and Massachusetts, have granted economic or cost of living increases to all state employees of from 159o to 2O9o; that Connecti. cut has granted limited economic increase (limited in that no em' ployee entering state service after February 16, 1943 may receive it of from 79o to lO@o; that the costs of living, by conservative govern ment estimates, have increased from SO%o to 4O9o bringing about Isan intolerable situation and work. ing a great injustice and hardship upon a group of loyal state em' ployees in the lower income brack. cts.
 "We believe the taxpayers and citizens of Connecticut who em. ploy us will in fairness want this situation corrected" Thorpe said, ''We believe, that the results of our petition and resolution indi. cate that the average citizens and taxpayer is fair minded and will take the position that state em. ployees should receive a wage com. parable and commensurate with that paid for the same job or posi-. tion in private industry" A

Treasury Survey Answers Question Of Union Taxation

Recently LABOR called attention to a particularly nasty bit of propa- ganda in the New York Times an effort to make it appear that labor organizations were the prin- cipal beneficiaries of the Federal governments refusal to tax certain non-profit-making organizations. The Times" story was based on a survey made by the Treasury Depart ment, at the suggestion of certain in terests which are anxious to discredit labor unions and tax farm and other cooperatives out of existence.
 Someone in the Treasury, in sym pathy with this movement, gave the "Times" advance information con- cerning the survey, and the "Times" proceeded to twist the facts so as to smear labor unions-a proceeding which may be described as the "Times" "favorite indoor sport"
 
 Now the Treasury survey has been made public, and it completely de- Hates the propaganda of labor's foes.
 For example, it reveals that the to- tai assets of these tax-exempt organi- zations are $30,2O0,OO0,OOO. How much of those assets do you imagine belonged to the "rich labor unions ?" According to the survey, only $4O,- 693, ,OOO, or a little more than one- tenth of one per cent. Of course, the Tines" hastens to expain that all the unions reporting did not list any tangible property. The explanation is simple-they haven't any tangible property to report.
 Who owns these tax-exempt assets which the Treasury has been survey ing? Mutual savings banks come first, with over %,000,0OO,0OO; then Federal Land Banks, building and loan organ izations, literary, scientific, educational and charitable organizations, and farmers cooperatives.
 As to income, the survey shows a total of a little over $5,OO0O00,

Leadership Must
 Denounce 2 Bills

Both the Hobbs anti-labor bill CHR 32) and the streamlined Smith Connally bill CHR 3o37) introduced by Rep. Andrew J. May ID, Ky.) are waiting House action while the Democratic leadership stands aside, afraid to publicly denounce the two bills for what they are-weapons to wreck the American labor movement.
 House passage of one or both of the bills is not out of the question at this time. The two bills would work their poison equally on the AFL and CIO, although the ban on political activity in HR 3o37 is directly aimed at the COS PAC.
 With Majority Leader John Mo Cormick CD. Mass.) privately op- posed to the bills but not willing to call a Democratic party caucus on them (for fear of the polltax bloc) the responsibility seems to rest upon the folks who would be most hurt the unions.

Gillis Honored By All New England
National Leaders Join In Tribute To Representative Of Plumbers And Steam6tters- -Meany Warns Of
 Organized Drive Against American Labor

Archie A. Cillis, for 21 years New England representative of the United Association of Plumbers and Steamfitters, has every reason to be proud man. Representatives of the U.A., meeting at the Hotel Carde, New Haven, Saturday night, showed their high respect for Gill lis by holding one of the finest af- fairs in the history of the New Eng land labor movement.
 The occasion of the banquet, which was attended by national leaders of the labor movement, and by U.A. rep resentatives from every section of the six New England states, was the pro- motion to Gillis to the national office of the U.A. in Washington.
 Such men as General President Martin Durkin, Secretary Edward J. Hillcock, General Representa- tive William J. O'NeilI, of the U.A.; Secretary Treasurer George Meany of the American Federation of Labor, and other nationally known labor officials, all attended and showed the affection in which Cillis is held.
 STATE ASSN. AND NO. 349
 The banquet was held under the joint auspices of the Connecticut As sociation of Plumbers and Steamft- ters, and U.A. Local 349 of New Ha- ven, two organizations which receiv- ed much credit from the 200 guests who attended the banquet.
 President Paul Willnauer of the State association formally opened the festivities with an appropriate address, and introduced U.A. Or ganizer Milton Mcdonald, former ly of Bridgeport, who acted as toastmaster. Among the speakers he introduced, all of whom joined in praising the contributions CiIlis has made to the labor movement, were President Durkin, Secretary Hillcock, George Meany, J. Law renee O'ToOle, Assistant Secretary of the Conn. Federation of Labor, who spoke in behalf of Sec.-Treas. Harold V. Feinmark, who was i'm Washington representing Conn. at the National Conference of Labor Legislation; Mayor John w. Mur- phy of New Haven; Rev. Joseph F.

MOORE ACTIVE


 In addition, Sen. E. H. Moore (R, Okla.) has dropped into the hopper a collection of bills, plac- ing all sorts of restrictions on Ia. bOr i'm the name of "equalizing rights of labor and management" His bills embody the program which the NatI Assn. of Manu. lecturers has been pushing for some time.
 Finally, the Administration is pushing the measure advocated by President Truman for creation of fact-finding boards in major dis putes, plus a compulsory ''coOling- off" period of at least 30 days. Administration men are trying to speed up that prOposition ahead of other anti-labOr measures but the Smith-May-Arends bill appeared to have the inside track.
 That bill would, on the one hand, practically outlaw all union activities in the political field, and on the other impose crushing penalties on unions when workers strike in alleged viola tion of no-strike provisions of con- tracts.
 Leaders of organized labor received their first chance to air their views publicly on the Smith May-Arends and on the Hobbs bills, at an unusual informal hearing arranged by a bloc of friendly Congressnen, under the leadership of Adolph Sabath CD, Ill), dean of the House. Over 100 solons attended.
 Sabath and his associates called the hearing because the House Military Affairs and Judiciary committees had rushed the bills through without giv- ing anyone-pro or anti-a chance to be heard.
 GREEN HITS RACK
 Speakers who denounced the measures were President William Green of the AFL; President R. J. Thomas of the United Auto Work. CTS; Executive Sec,y. A. E. Lyon of the Railway Labor Executives Assn. for 19 Railroad Brother hoods; Martin Miller, legislative representative of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, and John J. O'Leary, vice-president of the Unit. ed Mine Workers.

Living Costs Up
 33%, Conet Says

Washington (LPA)-Some new in terpretations of current Administra- tion wage stabilization policy have been announced by Stabilization Ad- ministrator John C. Collet. Only a significant change would allow in creases in average straight time hour ly earnings to compensation for rises in the cost of living up to 33@o of the Jan. lo4l level.
 Such wage adjustments as we'll as several other categories under the new rules may be taken into considera- tion in determining price and rent ceil- ings, though it is up to OPA to decide whether or not an increase is war ranted.
