Collins Charges
 Non-Cooperation
Federation President Says Conn. Workers Resent Con tempt Being Shown By Industry Toward The
 Proposals Made By Labor

Charging manufacturers Organi- zatiOns i'm the state with giving only lip service to Iabor.management CO., operation, and declaring that their policies, which he termed 'Sreac. tiOnary," are creating bitter resent ment among organized workers in Connecticut, Timothy M. Collins, president of the State Federation of Labor, expressed the view in a statement today that the pace of recOnversion, as a result, would not be as rapid as had been antici- pated and that strife on the indus trial field coupled with considerable unemployment was being made in- evitabIe.
 NO MUTUALLY
 Tt was the hope of organized labor," said Collins, when the fall of Japan occurred that industry would show a willingness to confer with labor in respect to reconversion prob lems in a spirit of mutua1ity. Two events at least in the past few weeks have indicated that this expectation failed to take into account that reac- tionary forces continue to dominate the councils of industrial groups in Connecticut
 ''First, was the slap in the face given to labor when a committee representing manufacturers and business men in Fairfield County notified Leroy D. Downs, Area War Manpower Director, that it would not participate in the plan- ned countrywide conference of in- dustry, labor, agriculture and mu. nicipal government to study recon version problems and to make plans to meet them, upon the spec- iOus grounds that it was looking to the conferences in Hartford be- tween management and labor to set the pattern. These meetings on a state level, of course, are on a much more restricted basis than those contemplated for Fairfield County.
 NORWALK, STAMFORD
 Previously the Norwa1k and Stam- ford Manufacturers Councils had re- jected MT. Downs invitation, while other city Manufacturers Councils and Chambers of Commerce had displayed interest Apparently the economic iso- lationists prevailed upon the latter to withhold cooperation. Fortunately, however, in addition to labor the municipal officers and farm leaders groups have been meeting and have been hard at work developing pro grams in preparation for the joint county conference.
 SHAMEFUL PERFORMANCE
 ''Second, was the shameful per fOrmance of the legislative agent of the State Manufacturers AssOcia- tiOn before the Legislative Council in opposing special session of the General Assembly to consider measures to extend unemployment benefits, to establish a minimum wage in the state of 65 cents an hour, to undertake an expanded public works program and to create state FEPC, despite the united urging of organized labor from various sections of the state

Women Demand
Truth About
Food Shortage
BY RUTH MILLETT

Peaches are being fed to hogs
because there isn't enough sugar for
canning" an OPA employe told
women of one southern city in an
effort to persuade those who had
received their canning certificates
early TO return all certificates over
10 pounds per person, the prevailing
rate
That statement was enough to
make conscientious women who had
been issued Is or 90 pounds per
person rush down and turn in the
difference between what they had
been given and the 10 pounds per
person to which the canning sugar
ration had been cut.
And then the OPA district direc-
tor flatly denied the story. Said he :
There is enough home canning
sugar in the county to can all
available fruits and vegetables
There is no record or evidence OF
single complaint and I seriously
doubt that anyone in the county
has fed one peach to hogs. It is
extremely difficult in this Organiza-
ton to prevent irresponsible en-
plOyeS from making irresponsible
StatementS-aS was made about the
peaches being fed to hogs"
The official who had the courage
10 deny story that was working
on women's consciences because he
felt il wasn't true ought to be a
hero to American women.
For women have had to put up
with all kinds of inconvenience in
wartime, and they have been pretty
good sports about it. Cheerfully
they have stood in line to buy
food They have made the best Of
shortages that have worked real
hardship5 on their families, like the
current meat shortage They have
taken on new homemakcr jobs like
gardening, canning, etc
But Just because they have been
good sports, they shouldn't be i'm
posed upOn-aS they often are. And
certainly their SympathieS shouldn't t
be played on by the use Of untrue
StOrleS-juSt to whip them into line
They have right to know
whether there is any real need for
their sacrifices. And it is time they
quit being docile and looked into
every demand that they sacrifice
and do without to sec if there is
any real reason for it.

President Sounds
Plea for More
Railway Workers

WASHINGTON, July II. CUPl-
President Truman, in a speci a |
statement sent from the Big Three
meeting site. urges Americans to
take Jobs on western railroads. to
help avert a serious transportation
shortage.
He warned that unless the roads
obtain $1,000 more men soon, delays
in the Army'S vast deplOyment pro-
gram will become serious as the
load increases"
UNUSUAL APPEAL
The Presidents unusual appeal
reminded Americans that fighting
men returning from Europe are not
getting the best accommodations be-
cause many cars are in the shops
awaiting repairs and overhauling."
The statement, released by the
White House. was headed: State
ment by the President from his
temporary residence in the POtsdam
area.
Following is the text Of the
Presidents statement.
III the demands Of the japanese
war are to be met, the railroads
III the west must have additional
manpower Immediately. The man
power shortage is so serious that
the Wal Department recently or
dered 1000 experienced railroad men
to be furlOughed from the Army
to help ease the situation. but they
are only a fraction Of the number
needed.
The western railroads today need
5000 men and need them badly
We must keep men and materiel
flowing into the ports as fast as
our conveys can transport them to
the battle zone.
The effects of the shortage al
ready are being felt, with the peak
loads still months away. Our SOL
dierS returning from the European
compaign are not getting the best
accommodations because many cars
are in the shops awaiting repairs
and overhauling
TROOPS DELAYED
Some troops are being delayed
at the ports because trains cannot
be supplied promptly. OyerWorked
crews must be given time to rest
before taking trains out on long
hard trips Trains are often late
because of short switching crews
which cannot keep traffic moving
at top efficiency. Unless additional
manpOwer is found these delays
will become serious as the load in
Cr2aSCS.
That is why I am bringing this
situation to the attention of the
/ American people, ANY patriotic
American who is not already en-
gagged in essential war work car
make a real contribution toward
| the defeat of Japan by applying
/ for a Job on a western railroad
during this emergency period Those
who are now working on railroads
can do az great service to theil
country by remaining on the job
