Painters Reach Agreement With
 NH. Contractors
Win Increase Of $1.4O A Day-Joint Petition Filed
 With Board

Painters Union No. l86 of Greater New Haven announced this week through Business Agent Saul Kreas that full agreement has been reached with the paint ing contractors. Under the new agreement, the painters will receive an increase of $l.4O day, which raises the official union rate from Sl.37 to- $l.55 per hour. In am nouncing the agreement, Kreas expressed his deep appreciation to William Zuckerman, president of No. l86, and to Secretary William Enright, for their help in negOti- ating the new contract.
 All members of No. 186 are back at work, and Kreas was i'll Wash ington this week to obtain approval of the new contract by the Wage Adjustment Board. The contract pro- vides that the new rates go into ef- feet Oct. Is, subject to the Boards approval. Should the government eliminate controls over the wage rates of the building trades, the con- tract will automatically become ef- fective. retroactive to Oct. IS. It was also agreed that both the Union and the contractors twill do every thing possible" to obtain approval of the contract by the Wage Adjustment Board.
 INCLUDES VACATION FUND
 The flat increase of $1.40 a day won by the union includes the 40 cents per day originally asked by the union for paid vacations.
 The Union and the contractors jointly appealed to the Wage Adjust ment Board for approval of the new contract. The joint petition to the Board, presented this week, states:
 ''Since the termination of the war a considerable amount of Over- time work has been discontinued, and as a result the take-home pay of the employees is considerably decreased. The members of Paint CTS Union, Local No. l86, have not received any increase in wages since l942, and the cost of living during that period increased to a large degree.
 eve, the employers, and the Union, hereby jointly apply for your approval of an increase of $l.4O per day."

Supporters Turn Their Attention TORep. ManascO
Expenditures Committee Seen Extremely Cool To
 Bill Support Needed

WASHINGTON (LPA) - With hearings on the Full Employment Bill in full swing in the House Expenditures Committee, labor and liberal forces this week are mObiliz- ing for an all-Out battle to get the bill out of committee and onto the floor of the House without crippling changes.
 The committee, headed by Rep. Carter Manasco (D., Ala has been extremely cool to the bill, and has held once-a-week sessions on the bill for three weeks. During the next three weeks, Manasco has announced that their sessions will be speeded up to four sessions a week, with several witnesses appearing at each meeting.
 SUPPORT NEEDED
 More than $50 requests to be heard on the Full Employment Bill have already come to the House Committee, and the bills opponents are counting on public pressure to swing Committee mem- bers to support of the bill. So far, majority of the members are be- ieved to be opposed to the bill in its present form, or are still unde- cided.
 Witnesses this week included three industrialists: Thomas Hewes, for merly undersecretary of the Treas ury, and former treasurer of the state of Connecticut, Herbert L. Car penter, vice president of the Com merce and Industry Assn of New York, and Austin T. Levy, treasurer of Harrisvi1le Conbing Mills, R. I. Veterans representatives are having their day, with testimony by Gen. Omar Bradley, head of the Veterans Administration, E. J. McE1ale, ex- ecutive secretary of the American Veterans Committee, Col. John T. Taylor, national legislative director of the American Legion, Willard Rice of the Disabled American Veterans, and Omar B. Ketchum of the Vet erans of Foreign Wars.
 Support for the bill is expected from witnesses appearing later in the week, including Commerce Sec'y Henry Wallace, and Reconversion Director John w. Snyder.
 QUESTION CHANGES
 Meanwhile, as the smoke of bat tie died down after a fast and in- tricate Senate session last week, it was not clear whether the Full Employment Bill, as approved by Fl to 10, met with the approval of its OriginatOrs. A series of amendments, which the bills sup- porters in the main claimed were simply changes of words, rather than of the intent or mechanism of the bill, were passed rapidly before the final vote. In the end, even such violent opponents of the bill as Robert Taft (R., Ohio),

Poll-TaxersM Must Be Curbed, Says Teamsters Head
Urges President To Act Now Before Workers
 Become Disguised

WASHINGTON (LPA) - President Truman risks los. ing the support of organized labor next year if he fails to force southern Congressional Democrats into line behind the administrators recon version program, according to President Dan Tobin, of the Int'l Teamsters Union.
 Writing in his unions publi- cation, The International Team- ster, Tobin said: "If labor is so thoroughly disgusted and disap- pointed-as it well may be-that next year they stay away from the polls, you can rest assured that the Democratic majority in the House not only will be sub stantially reduced, but it may be eliminated"
 NOT AN EVEN BET NOW
 TObin, who headed the labor division of the Democratic cam- paigns during all four of ROOse- velt's candidates, asserted:
 'sIf the southern Democrats who hate labor follow the advice of the President by becoming more un- derstanding of the pulse of labor, and getting it through their heads, before it is too late, that the Demo- cratic Party has been held in off, flee for l2 years only through the votes of labor's men and women. then there may be some hope for the Democrats and for President Truman.
 ''But at this time," he continued, it is not an even bet, and with strikes and unemployment increasing the out look may get even more gloomy. President Truman should say in un- equivocal language to those reaction ary, labor-hating Democrats: What are you trying to do, wreck the Democratic Party, throw it out of office for the next 12 to 20 years, as happened after the first World War P" The Teamsters' head added that he had found widespread dissat- isfaction among labor leaders and rank and file workers with the way the reconversion program had devel- oped.

Union Veterans Organization Is Gaining Strength
Labor Legion Posts Recent ly Established In Eleven
 New Cities

Chicago (LPA)-The Natl Con- ference of Union Labor Legionnaires representing 130 trade union posts of the American Legion, is growing swiftly with the return of thousands of World War II veterans.
 The Union LegiOnnaires. whose posts combine all branches of gIo- Dor, announced that Union Legion groups have been set up recently in II cities - Cincinnati, New Orleans, Kalamazoo, Cleveland. Grand Rapids, Kansas City, Tole- do, Buffalo, Detroit, Camden, Newark. Inquiries on how to organ ize a trade union post have been received from Is other cities rang ing from Washington, D. C., to Honolulu, Hawaii.
 The rapid growth of the Union Leglonnaires has not been welcomed by sections of top Legion leadership, which has been repeatedly criticized by AFL and CIO officials. Labor post charters have been refused in both Buffalo and Kansas City. The inside struggle against reactionary Legion leadership has been high1ighted by the appeal of the Union Legionnaires for letters to go to Commander Schei- berling asking that the Buffalo and Kansas City charters be granted.
 The American Legion's national convention will be held in Chicago for three days starting Nov. I8. and it is expected that union in- fiuence will be stronger than ever before. Both AFL President Will liam Green and CIO President Murray have been invited to speak.

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

THE FILTH being spewed these days by Pestbrook Wegler would lead one to believe that Franklin D. Roosevelt was running for re- election. The newspapers that print Pegler besmirch themselves in doing so.
 A FREEZE" has been placed by the Department of Labor on a sensational report, issued by the Wage-Hour Divisions economic staff, which showed that millions of workers are still living on star vatiOn wages and that CO., to 8O- cent-an-hour minimum wage is necessary for ''bare subsistence"
 The Union Times carried high lights of the report several weeks ago, but the department has barred it from general circulation, claim ing the document was intended ''solely for persons engaged in re- search.''

 These strOng-arm squads beat. maimed and even murdered active union men, until the National Labor Relations Board finally cracked down and broke up Ben. nett's private army. Now Bennett. at 53, has been busted from his job by Henry Ford's grandson. new president of the company.
 UNDER the relaxed wage con. trols announced some time ago, pay raises agreed to by employers must still be ''okayed'' by the War Labor Board and the O. P. A. if accompanied by demands for price relief.
 Some employers are taking ad vantage of that provision by declar' ing that, while they can absorb the wage adjustments now, they might have to ask for price in creases Gin the future." This plea has the effect of holding up tho wage boosts.
 To stop the abuses unions arc demanding that 9O-day limit bt placed in such cases on request:
