Organized Labor In Drive eToFiight
 COuging
All Branches Join O. P. A Committee In Effort To
 Arouse Consumers

All branches of organized labor teamed up this week, in a cam paign to prevent price gouging when the reconversion process from war goods to peace-time products begins.
 The drive was launched by the O. P. A. Labor Advisory Commit tee, which includes representatives of all three labor groups.
 A four-page statement on "What Workers Can Do About Reconversion Pricing was sent out by the com mittee to unions throughout the land as starter in the campaign.
 The statement stressed that full employment after the war twill de- pend on the people being able to buy everything that our workers will be able to produce"
 ''This means that prices must be low enough and wages high enough SO that there is money enough to buy all the goods and services which our farms and fac tories can prOvide,'' the committee pointed out.
 If prices on products that come back on to the market remain at high 1941 AZ levels, with wages no greater than they are now then widespread unemployment would be forced upon the people of this country" the com mittee warned.
 What makes matters worse, it was emphasized, is that most industries which converted to war production are demanding that the o. P. A. permit prices even higher than the level which prevailed in late 1941 or early 1o42, when production of their peace time goods stopped. That must not be allowed, the committee insisted.
 With very few exceptions, man. ufacturers can go back to the l94l-42 price level, or less, and still enjoy handsome profits, the committee contended. It pointed out that for the most part their labor costs will be less because of increased worker productivity, and selling expense will be low because of long dammed-up consumer demand for their products.

Many Sending In Contributions Which Help Combat Disease-President McGovern Issues Special
 Appeal To New Haven Locals

A.F.L. unions throughout Con- necticut now are making their am nual contributions to the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, more pOpularly known as the ''March of Dimes'' campaign. Representatives of organized labor are serving on the committees established in various cities, many of which, because of the war, are not holding the annual ball on President Roosevelt's birthday.
 In New Haven, Central Labor Council President Vincent J. Me Govern has sent the following let ter to all A.F.L. locals:
 Dear Sir and Brother:
 Because of war conditions, the custom of holding ball in honor of President Roosevelt's Birthday will not be held this year. As you know, the proceeds are used one hundred per cent for the sufferers of infantile paralysis.
 Instead of a ball, the committee is concentrating on voluntary contr1Du- tions and the March of Dimes cam paign.
 ''This year more than ever, 8 hearty response is needed. Half of the funds raised are given to the National Foundation on Infantile Paralysis for assistance in epi. demics and scientific research. The remainder is used for hospital care, to purchase braces, and help the victims of this dreadful malady.
 "The drive has the unanimous en- dorsement of the American Fedora ton of Labor. We invited your or ganization and membership to par ticipate in this worthy cause Please send your check to Dr. Joseph I. Linde, Treasurer, 1042 Chapel Street, New Haven"

Minimum 75cProposedBy AFL Rail Unions
Would Help Those Under paid, And War Manpower
 Shortage

Through joint legislative action this week the AFL and the Rail- road Brotherhoods called on Con- gress to set 75c an hour mini mum to man s'low-wage industries, '' and authorized an AFL representa- tive to present to the House mili- tary affairs committee evidence of fragrant wastage of manpOwer and money by government and private industries in war prOduc- tiOn."
 The action was taken at a joint legislative conference called by AFL President William Green, and was attended by legislative representatives of AFL unions and the brotherhoods.
 AFL Legislative Rep. Lewis G' Hines was authorized by the group to appear before House military affairs committee hearings to elab- crate on the charges of "wastage ot manpoWer and money.
 In demanding a new minimum wage of 75c an hour the confer ence demanded that the Wage X Hour law be amended to ''help Op' pressed workers meet booming living costs and to attract labor to undermanned low-wage war indus tries."
 The conference also called for immediate action by Congress on legislation to increase basic pay of government workers, provide time and half for overtime, night shift bonus, and to make the legis- latiOn permanent instead of for the duration of the war.
 Federal aid to education to protect the interests of the nations school children and their underpaid teachers" was also demanded by the AFL and Railroad Brotherhoods.
 A meeting of delegates representing members of AFL unions employed in U. s. navy yards was called to "draw up legislation for wage increases, overtime pay, seniority and reclassi- hcation," by Pres. Foster J. Pratt of the International Federation of Archi- tects, Technical Engineers & Drafts mems Unions to take place Jan. Is through Y.

Legal Limelight
 Beats On Carriers


 The railroads were much in the legal limelight this week.
 At Washington, Governor Ellis Arnall of Georgia urged the U. s. Supreme Court to grant relief to southern states from what he de scribed as unjust" freight rates. He contended the carriers had resorted to conspiracy and coercion" to pre- vent free competition.
 Meanwhile, in Federal district court at Lincoln, Neb., 47 western railroads and 90 railroad and banking officials filed motions for dismissal of anti trust charges brought against them by the Department of Justice. They contended that Congress, in 1o42, exempted the carriers from antitrust prosecutions.

 Determinations Relating to Over time, Sunday and Holiday Pay. Pre- mium compensation in building and construction trades.
 Son April II, 1914, the Secre- tary of Labor issued an amended determination on premium com- pensation in the building and con struction trades which applied the exemption previously granted on September 3Oth, 1942, for work on construction projects which is subject to the Wage StabilizatiOn Agreement of July 22, 1942, to all other work in the building and construction industry performed by employees at the site of con- struction provided that such work is performed under specified con ditions. Upon investigation, it ap' pears advisable to amend my order of April II, l944, by deleting such conditions.

 "I find that a wage stabllizatlor agreement approved by the Govern ment department or agency is operat-, ing satisfactorily in the building and construction industry and that the nature and exigencies of operations in such industry make it necessary and advisable for the successful prose cution of the war to amend my order of April II, 1914.

 ssNothing contained in this order shall be construed as limiting the operation or effect of the Wage Stabilization Agreement of July 22 1942, and all work subject to this agreement shall continue to b. subject to the amendment of my determination of September 30, I942, issued May 2, l943, whicE limits holidays on such work te New Years Day, Fourth of July Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day Christmas, and Memorial Day.

learned today, in the midst of a tense
political situation aggravated by an
impending breakdown of National
list negotiations with the Dutch.
British forces in Batavia were un-
der a curfew and were ordered to
carry their arms at all times and
not TO venture out unescorted. 1t
was explained officially that this
was simply tightening of precau-
items and that the situation in Java
was under CONTROL
The delicate machinery aimed at
bringing the disputants in the Indo-
esian conflict to the conference table
was Jared, with the announcement
of the Netherlands home govern
ment statement barring negotiations
between President Soekarno OF the
"Indonesian Republic and Acting
Governor General Huterftus j. Van
Nook. The Home government, how
ever, did not rule out negotiations
with other Nationalist leaders.
The Indonesians in Central Java
were known to he in possession of
at least So Japanese planes.
The Dutch, stretched thinly across
the outskirts Of southern Batavia,
were meeting small disorganised at
tacks, but they faced in this area
alone a potential force of 10000
Nationalist armed with rifles, pis-
tolls and light machine guns. Dutch
commanders say, however. that the
Indonesians are poor unreliable
fighters.
Half the town Of Keborajan, south
of Batavia, where Dutch troops are
holding a line against sporadic at
tacks, was declared to have been
burned out by an 1ndonesian raid.
There was feeling here that the
confidence that has greeted nego-
tiaticns would snap, and a grave
view was held locally that disaster
impended
