Easier Rules Urged 10 Spur
CAPITAL Home BUILDING

A committee Of Washington
builders will recommend to Fed
eral agencies that restrictions on
cost and size of homes be amended
to expedite the H-2 building pro-
gram in Washington, the Home
Builders Association announced last
night.
Under present specifications fixed
by the National Housing Agency
and Federal Housing Adninistra-
ton. applications under the priority
building plan call for three bedroom
homes with 1,150 square feet of floor
space at ceiling price Of $4,000.
A survey recently completed by
the builders pointed out the neces-
sity of raising the ceiling price to
SO 900 to do away with stereotyped
models and give homes architectural
individuality of enduring value.
The committee said it would be
possible to reduce the floor space to
two bedrooms and build for the
$4,000 a satisfactory home which
later could be expanded.
The HBA said elimination of pres
ent restrictions would step-up the
building program. The MIA au-
thorized the construction of $500
H-2 houses in the Washington area
last March.

The union times., 1945-04-14

The State Senate Tuesday AOOptr ed the HOuse-apprOved State Labor Relations Act with only one dis senting vote and sent the bill to the House under suspension of rules for action on am amendment cor recting a typographical error. This Act was unanimously approved by the House Wednesday, and now goes to Gov. Baldwin for his sig nature.
 Senator Robert Parsons, Repub- lican, of Pennington, cast the only opposing vote after charging that the bill was ''viciOus" and ''un- American" in that it compelled workers to join a union before they could work.
 The bill, which the House approved in its final form. guarantees collec- tive bargaining in all industries en- gagged in intra-state commerce and not covered by the Wagner Act. A commission of three to admin ister the act will be appointed by Governor Baldwin by June l with legislative approval. They will be paid $25 every day they sit and they will appoint an agent at $5,0O0 year who will inquire into all disputes. Adopted as bipartisan compro- mise measure and accepted by the Conn. Federation of Labor, the act is expected to cover about 25O,00O em- ployes in this state. It nulli6es any other law that may be inconsistent with the provisions of the act
 Under the bill employers can l not interfere in labor Organiza- tiOns or encourage company un- ions.
 ''This bill represents much work by your committee and we feel that we have produced on bipartisan basis bill which is a credit to all members of the Legislature, 5 Senator Vincent P. Kiernan of An sonia, Democrat and Senate Chair man of the committee, said.
 Tn the postwar era we must have a stable relationship between indus try and all workers. This bill will help. Today the labor shortage auto matically adjusts many irregulari- ties, but later we will need laws to guarantee fairness"
 Senator Albert l.. Coles, of Bridgeport, Democrat, said that the bill was the most important adopt ed in behalf of labor and the state since the WOrkmen's COmpensa. ton Act of 1913.
 Senate Minority Leader C. Ray mond Brock of Hamden, urged pass age of the bill and described it as a challenge in leadership of both labor and management.
 Senate Majority Leader Leon F RisCassi said:
 "The bill proves that the Demo cratic Party has finally been able to lead the Republican Party tc water"
 He pointed out that Democratic sponsored bills were rejected by Republicans in the l94l and 1943 sessions. Democrats said they would have preferred the original bill in. trOduced by Senator William A, Scott of Hartford, but they ap. proved the compromise as prac tical matter.
 The typographical error corrected by the amendment used the worc employer" instead of "employe" ii an important clause relating to em ploye complaints on collective bar. gaining matters.

Bee Bee Gains Little
Prestige in Beating
Lawer DecisiveIy

Bee Bee Washington may be the
Nations fifth best middleweight but
you couldn't prove it by his 10-round
victory over Joe Lawer last night at
Turner's Arena. He won every
round and all Lawer got was "E'
for effort, but he was not overly
impressive.
Lawer couldn't knock your Aunt
Minnie of a pair of ice skates, but
he caught well and knew when to
hold and when to peddle his bike to
60 the full distance. Even so, Wash
ington tagged him with everything
allowed by the rules and put him
down for a nine-count in the second
when the sandman seemed ready to
take over.
A couple more bouts like that and
Washington will have increased his
prestige by exactly nothing His
only gain was some $500, another
win for the record and a brisk
workout. Some of the customers
were wondering, though, if Bee Bee
would look as good against a top
flight middleweight who knew how
to handle himself at close range.
/, In a scheduled six-round semi
final Tommy Daniels chilled Bobby
Gunther in 2:58 with a right cross
on the button. Two other prelims
ended prematurely. Red Jeter dis
posed of Johnny Graham in three
rounds and B-29 Banks stopped
Bernie Cady in two. Arthur Betl1ea
outpointed Eddie Davis in foul
