Poll Tax Issue
 In Senate Again

Washington (LPA)-The Senate will soon be given choice between two means of outlawing the collec- ton of poll tax in federal elections, and indications are that some anti poll tax legislation is slated to be adopted.
 The Senate Judiciary Committee has reported out simultaneously: CD A House-approved bill declaring it unlawful for any state or local gov ernment to collect poll tax as pre- requisite for voting in Federal cleo ton.
 CD A resolution by Sen. O'Maho- ney O., Wyo.) calling for submis- sion to the States of a constitutional amendment declaring "the right of citizens :. to vote shall not be de- nied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any tax or on account of any property qualifications"
 It is believed that O'Mahoneys re- solution may be approved by the Sen ate inasmuch as the Republican plat form of 1914 declared for submission of a constitutional amendment, and because Southern Senators have ir the past filibustered any attempt to enact statutory poll tax prohibition

Sen. Murray Proposes FederaIJOb Service

Washington (LPA) - Leadership in the fight to secure national con- trols over the nations employment services was assumed last week by Sen. James E. Murray O., Mont.) who introduced a bill to provide a national system of employment of fees.
 The bill (S. 1456) titled the Unit ed States Employment Service Act of 1945 was referred to the Committee on Education and Labor. Murray an- nounced that he would call public hearings on the entire matter with a view to reporting out a bill as soon as possible.
 Meanwhile, the American Fedora tion of Labor opened its campaign for national system of free public employment services with the publi- cation and national distribution of a booklet, 'Labor's Program for a Ma tional Employment Service"
 The AFL'S program calls for a na- tional agency under the U. s. Dept of Labor with personnel under Fed eral Civil Service standards, and with a National Advisory Employment Service Council, on which labor, in dustry, agriculture and the public are represented.

USES. Ordered Not To Furnish Strikebreakers
Directive Forbids Any Dis elimination Against The
 Workers On Strike

Washington (LPA Exclusive)- The federal employment offices can't be used to provide scabs, or to discriminate against workers on strike. A directive to this effect was sent out last week to all re- gional offices of the U. s. Employ ment Service by new USES direc- tor Robert C. Goodwin. The agency has just been transferred from the War Manpower Commission to the Dept of Labor.
 The revised policy, which was made effective Oct. 1, is as follows {:
 With the end of hostilities the policy has been revised to provide that no referrals shall be made that will aid directly in filling a job (a) which is vacant because the former occupant is on strike or is being lock ed out in the course of labor dis pute or (b) the filling of which is an issue in the labor dispute.
 ''Regional directors are no long, CT authorized to make exceptions in the policy, since the wartime necessity for such exceptions no longer exists.
 "As part of the stabliization pro- gram during the war it was the policy of USES to deny referral to strik- ing workers. The basis for that policy has now altered and the local officers of USES shall hereafter refer to other suitable jobs any striking work CTS who desire such referral."

REJECT BUDGET

With full support voted by the New Haven Central Labor Coun- cil for the wage increases proposed by the Joint Council of Municipal Employees, AFL, the Central La- bor Council has issued an urgent appeal to all unions to be present at the aldermanic hearing on the proposed budget for l946 to be held at City Hall soon. The exact date will be announced later. All branches of labor, together with individual citizens, will appear at the hearing and urge the Board of Aldermen to send the budget back to the Board of Finance for favor- able action on an improved salary scale and working conditions for municipal employees.
 On Wednesday, representatives of the AFL's Joint Council of Munici- pal Employees, which includes the Firemen's Union, Police Union, Board of Education Employees, to- gether with the New Haven Teachers League, met with the three candidates for mayor of New Haven in the forthcoming election, and interviewed them on their stand on a number of important municipal issues.
 This session was followed in the evening by a meeting of the Citizens Advisory Board to the municipal un- ions, which received report on the interviews with the candidates.
 POSTCARD DRIVE
 In the meantime, the AFL Joint Council of Municipal Employees is prosecuting its postcard cam paign designed to show city off, cials how completely the public is behind the city workers in their just demand. Some 10000 copies of the following card are now being distributed throughout the city. Addressed to Mayor John w. Murphy, the card reads:
 "I an, glad to inform you that anr in complete sympathy sOith tue requests submitted by the Joint Council Of Municipal EmpLoyeeIs (AFL), regarding salary adjust ments and improvements in soOrk- ing conditions. You are here,oith authorised to inform the curious boards and other city authorities Ot nly signature On this card.''

Living Costs Up 3l%Sincel939 Says Labor Dept.
But Union Economist Saws Jump Really Has Been
 45 Per Cent

Washington (LPA) American workers living costs have jumped 3l % since 1889 and food costs have increased 5O@o, the Bureau of Labor Statistics disclosed last week. The BIS survey also found that clothing prices have been hiked 46%o, house furnishings 45%, fuel, electricity and ice 14%o, and miscellaneous items 24%o. OPA rent control regulations kept rent increases down to 3.8%o.
 In many cities the food cost i'm crease went we'll over the 5O@o mark. Washington, D. C., expert enced 5l % rise in food prices and 549o increase in clothing prices.
 The 319o estimate by BIS, while an improvement on their previous figures, does not meet the 34@o re- vealed by joint AFL-CIO study reported to the late President Roose- welt. Union economists, concerned with the wage freeze that limits pay increases to 15%o above rates of Jan. 1941, declare that living costs have actually risen more than 459o.

INDIVIDUAL LETTER

INDIVIDUAL LETTER In New Haven, the Greater New Haven Building and Construction Trades Council, for the first time in it's history, is putting on a spe- cial drive to obtain lOO% partici- patton in the Campaign by build ing trades mechanics. While the building trades as whole have al- ways generously supported the Community Chest and National War Fund Campaign, the fact that many journeymen go from job to job has made it difficult to solicit them and receive their contribu- tiOn.
 As result, the Building Trades Council this week sent letter to all of the members of each build ing trades union in Greater New Haven. Signed by President James DiLonardo, and Secretary Vincent J. McCovern, the letter reads as follows:
 Dear Sir and Brother:
 "The New Haven Building and Construction Trades Council is talk ing the liberty of addressing you di rectly on a subject which is of prime importance to organized labor-the success of the Greater New Haven Community Chest and National War Fund Campaign.
 EWe are writing you because the Building Trades Council, in fact the entire labor movement, believes it would be a tragedy if this years Campaign did not go over the top. Funds are being rais- ed for B Community Chest agen- cies which provide much needed health and welfare services to New Haven, East Haven, West Haven and Hamden. This is our Commun- ity Chest; its services are so valu- able to all of us that it is our Ob- igation to help in every way pos sible.
