As We See It
 by THE STAFF

TWO ATOM bombs were dropped i'm the last few weeks, in our opinion. The other was the smashing victory by the British Labor Party, the effects of which will be felt by the common people of the world for a long time to come. Passage of the Full Elm. ployment Bill by Congress will be as much of an atomic bomb to the labOr-hatcrs of this country as the real thing is to the Japanese.
 EXECUTIVE Boards of both the A.F.L. and the Building Trades Department opened their meetings this week. The Building Trades meeting will have before it a pro. posal by the Conn. Building Trades Council that the international unions assist in the much-needed drive among the trades. The fight being made by New Haven Painters. No. l86, for paid vacations, will also be discussed.
 PAINTERS Union and the Conn Building Trades caused the Wage Adjustment Board to reconsider its unfavOrable decision on paid va. cations for building tradesmen, and that's a notable victory for Oul state. Now No. 186 has the job of negotiating its new agreement with the employers. After that the issue again will be up to the Wage Ad justment Board.
 APPROXIMATELY 90 per cent of all decisions of the New Eng land War Labor Board which arc appealed to the National War Board in Washington are upheld by the NWLB. In the remaining ten per cent of labor-management dispute decisions the National Board either reverses the Regional Boards decision, mOdifies it Ol sends it back for reconsideration.

 Labor Day Talk

Organized labor in New Haven will celebrate Labor Day with Labor Day broadcast, its was decided Thurs day at the meeting of the New Haven Central Labor Council. President Vim cent J.

Full Employment
 The Only Answer Says Secretary
Sees 16, 1000, 900 Minus Jobs Unless Congress Takes
 Action At Once

Unless Congress takes pre- ventive action at once, the United States is faced with the prospect of having sixteen million unemployed and an. other major depression, liar. old V. Feinmark, secretary. treasurer of the Connecticut Federation of Labor. said i'm a broadcast in New London this week.
 Organized labor believes that the Murray Full Employment Bill, now before the U. s. Sem ate, is the most constructive plan proposed to avoid mass unem- ployment, Feinmark said, and labor in Connecticut, as through out the rest of the nation, is giv- ing the bill its full support. He challenged those who oppose it to present a positive program of action, unless they were ready to take the responsibility "for the misery and suffering which are sure to follow" if concrete plans are not made now to avoid un- employment.
 ''A.F.L. AND 6O,OOO, 900 JOBS
 The subject of the broadcast. given over Station WNLC, was ''The A.F.L. and O,OOO, 900 Jobs." Fein- mark was interviewed by Mrs. Ruth DembO, New London Central Labor Union, radio editor of The Sub.
 Because Of the wide interest in fhis subject, SOe present the full lest Ot the brO0dcGsf, sOhich giUes the GnSSOers to the arguments raised 6y those SUkO oppose the Murray BiH.

We have some splendid ALL. unions in this district, and l want to get to know them better, and have chance to tell them of some of the State Federation's, activities
 MRS. DEMBO: We've heard much of the State Federation in re- cent months, MT. Feinmark, and everything we have heard ties in with the subject we are considering to- night, "The A.FL. and 60,000,0O0 Jobs" What do you think are the chances of achieving this objective?
 FEINMARK: We'll. Mrs. Dembo. I'm not prophet, and don't claim to be one. But | do know that we must have full employment after the war. Otherwise we'll have a de- pression with about sixteen mil lion unemployed. We don't dare face the thought that we'll have to wait for third World War to al- leviate conditions. In other words, now is the time to start planning for full employment after we have wiped the Japanese from the face of the earth. Just as we are now

 NEW NEGOTIATIONS
 The Board, it was officially learned this week by The Union Times, has rescinded its rejection of the plan for paid vacations for the painters, to be paid for by the employer, and has unanimously voted that the proposed plan be referred back to the Painters Union and the contractors ''fOr further collective bargaining and clarifica- tion." Notice of this action was received this week by Saul Kreas, business agent of No. I86, from Robert C. Moore, executive secre- tary of the Wage Adjustment Board.

TRUE WEALTH

Big fine houses Of themselves
can't bring happiness. It's the
people in them that make the
difference. There are plenty Of
mansions around the ,Uorld, built
by lonely rich people who hoped
to get some real joy out Of them.
Too late they discovered that
huge empty rooms are mockery.
1t takes children and their
friends, and cousins and uncles
and aunts, and lots Of acquains-
ances to put life into a house.
They make noise and they Uear
out the furniture, and they cost
a lot to feed, but they bring hu-
man warmth and gayety. They
make q "house into q home"
Todays letter is from a moth
er Of seven children. They haven't
much, as possessions go-just q
small house, not big enough for
the fve boys and t.uo girls and
their lively triends-but they
haze the secret of happiness.

pencils in special pigeonholes. We
have a ritual for Saturday nights,
cookies, cokes and pencil games; we
build as many traditions as we can
like picnic on Dads birthday and
comfort drawer for serious bumps,
cuts, or injustices - this drawer is
filled with odd toys and treasures,
from which the afflicted one may Sc
lect. Our children think they are
lucky, and other children do too,
and that's what want to give them;
household laws of order and helping,
happy companionship, home securi-
ty.
Work and Fun.
"Of course, never STOP" the
letter goes on. meals and beds,
socks and floors, picking up and
sewing together-there is no end to
it. I market twice a week, bake
once, have my main meal in the
middle of the day, and sandwiches
nothing else, but their variety can
be endless-and cooked fruit and
perhaps cookies or gingerbread or
pudding for supper.
1--WE put unbuttered bread of all
sorts on a tray, fill bowls with
chopped eggs, mayonnaise, jam,
peanut butter, cheese, corned beef
whatever we can get, with tomatoes
and lettuce, and everyone makes his
own sandwich, and the children feel
sorry for other children, who have
to set tables and eat potatoes and
beans for dinner.
"And what good time it all
sums up intol"
There is the secret of building a
home; making it a place where
everyone has a good time. All the
empty, dusty, magnificent palaces of
the world don't hold - have never
held-the Joy Of even one hour in
such home as this. They moulder
away in your town and mine, and
the children 60 romping by them,
never even stopping to look in at
their forbidding gates.
If you want to build a great man
sion, build it in the happy simple
lives Of your family - cousins,
uncles, aunts, old people, children.
That is the only real building; that
is what makes America what she is
today.

United States civilians have 982

needs during the last three months
of 1915. This is about equal to the

lower than last year. 1t now ap-
pears that the civilian per capita
consumption will average about 70
pounds, compared with SO pounds
last year. This ALLEGATION includes

sors. Total civilian supplies for the
year are estimated at slightly more

TINE world is full of hand
some, useless buildings
L that have cost incalcula-
BILE fortunes, and that are no use
at all.
In your town and mine-every-
where, whether you're driving
through New York or Newport,
Santa Barbara or Forest Lake,
you see these gorgeous home
steads-shut up.
Even in housing shortages
they can't rent these ridiculous
palaces because to keep the
bathrooms reasonably warm
would take more fuel than any
one can get, to say nothing OF
the great sepulchral Railways,
and the pantries, and the vast
cave that once was a dining
room.
The history of these old places is
a tragic one, not because SO much
happened in them - but because
nothing did. Some rich dull old man
and ambitious woman built every
one of them, realized very soon that
there was something dead about the
place, that it would never come
alive - and moved on to try some
thing else, build another sarcophagus
perhaps, this time at Palm Beach
or Hollywood.
know one house outside Of Lon
don that cost two million dollars,
and never was lived in-not for
moment. I know another, in Hills
borough, Calf, into which the hus-
band and wife never moved. 1t has
81 rooms, and the floors of all the
downstairs rooms are patterned in
Parian marbles. These people got a
divorce, and for awhile the husband
lived on with a servant or two, in
the gate lodge. Nobody ever has
lived in the house.
Pathetic Monuments.
Up Fifth avenue there are hum
dreds of these pathetic monuments
to mans idea that brownstone walls
and plate glass windows. tiles and
brocades, boiserie from Paris and
rugs from the Orient, will somehow
miraculously turn themselves into a
home, some day.
The real building Of home must
be done with elements that these
people never possess and never can
buy. Love, to begin with, and de-
pendence upon each other, service,
children, work and laughter.
If by any lucky chance you are a
woman who has these things, then
the best thing you can do-out of
whole world of service-is to incor-
porate them into home. Harriet,
who writes me from a midwest
town, has a home, and just to read
of it makes one feel what real riches
are.
Having the seven children always
about-and their friends also, who
number seven times seven," she
says, in letter inviting me to visit
her, II can't promise quiet or order
not always. For my daughters are
friendly creatures, and the five boys
are all over the place-porch roofs
and rain barrels and ladders are
their natural perching places. But
we do have all the things you write
about; a lunch table out in the side
yard; game room where their pos
sessions are never disturbed; a spe-
cial closet in which they hang school
coats and hats and put books and

out their destinies in the frontier
wilderness around Pittsburgh. Circa
1763, and to be called "Uncon-

It's no secret that he made the

De Mile made the screens first
