 Labor's Program
 The national resolution which all members of organized labor are urged to study so that they have labor's own program at their fingertips, was also unanimously adopted, and read as follows:
 Resolved, that we, citizens of Greater New Haven, assembled in mass meeting at the New Haven Labor Temple under the auspices of the Greater New Haven Com mittee for Full Employment and Prosperity, on Wednesday evening, September l2, l945, do hereby record our firm conviction that upon the Congress of the United States rests the responsibility for enacting into law, measures which will help prevent another mass de- pression, with millions upon mil lions of veterans and war workers suffering from unemployment.
 'sWe believe that by the miracle of war production achieved in Connecticut and throughout the nation, we have shown that we can produce for war. and see no reason why our great nation cannot pro- duce just as efficiently for peace. With the vast productive capacity of our country, the mightiest of any on the face of the earth, we must be able to plan so that the bitter curse of unemployment with its resultant misery and tragedy, may be avoided.
 Full Emloyment Bill
 We believe that we can have a prosperous United States only if all who are willing and able to work have employment at wage rates and under working conditions which make pos sible a decent standard of living tor all of us and our families. Jobs for all must become our national policy, and this right must be backed by a public works program if necessary. Passage of the Murray Fufl Employ ment Bill will accomplish this.

Veterans should have greater safeguards against unemployment, more liberal aid for education, home building, or business.
 Kilgore Bill
 ssReconversion means period of unemployment for millions. Jobless benefits of $25 for 26 weeks must be guaranteed by passage of the Kilgore-Forand Bill without crippling amendments. In addition. severance pay should be ordered for discharged war workers.
 Social Security
 "The Murray-W Wagner-Dingell Soc ial Security Bill should be passed, creating an overall national system of insurance to cover unemployment, old age, maternity, and medical and hospital care.
 No Discrimination!
 s'Every American, regardless of race, religion, or color, should en. joy full and equal democracy. The wartime Fair Employment Prac- tices Commission should be made by law a permanent and powerful arm of our government.
 Real Minimum Wage
 "No nation can be prosperous with a minimum wage level of forty cents an hour. Sixty-fve cents an hour should become the minimum wage this year, seventy-fve cents in l941. Congress must pass the Pepper-Hook Bill to accomplish this.
 Our working farmers are an im-
