PROTECTION FOR PUBLIC
 Speaking for the measure were Atty. James Shannon, C0nnecti- cuts outstanding authority on labor law, and counsel for the Con- necticut Federation of Labor; Har- old V. Feinmark, secretary-treas- urer and legislative agent of the Connecticut Federation of Labor; and John Kelly, a member of No. 273, New Haven. The bill was Op- posed by Herman Levy of New Haven, counsel for the independent motion picture exhibitors of the state;' and Rep. Irving C. Jacocks, Jr., of Branford.
 Atty. Shannon showed clearly that the fact that motion picture booths are fire proof is not sufficient protec- ton to the audience or operator. There are number of cases on rec ord, he said, where the operator has been caught with the fire between himself and the door. The great danger, he said, is not the fire itself, but the panic which is often caused when the audience becomes aware that there is fire. Shannon traced the tremendous increase in the duties of motion picture operators since 1909, when the first legislation of this kind was put on the books, and explained how it was possible with the multi tude of duties to be performed for a fire to start in the booth, and the operator not know about it until it was almost too late.
 Explaining that in most cases, union houses now have two men i'll motion picture booths, Shannon dismissed the claim that the union is trying to place an additional member in the booths where now there is but one operator.
 "There is no reason" he said, "why the owner of the theatre, his son, or any member of his family can't train himself to be an operator, and become qualified to meet the requirements of the law"
 Legislative Agent Feinmark told the Judiciary Committee that its decision on the proposed law would decide whether or not the people of Connecticut, as well as the motion picture machine operators, were to be given the full maximum of pro- tection against the threat of fire and consequent panic.
 "You must remember" Feinmark said, "that the operator IS not always able to protect himself against fire With another person in the booth, if the operator is obliged to leave the machine, the danger is reduced to a minimum.

Teamsters Help On Manpower Problem


 WASHINGTON-Labor shortage problems in the trucking industry are on the path toward solution through joint efforts of labor, industry and government, the Office of Defense Transportation says.

 AFL spokesmen at the meeting were Dave Beck, Ray Mccall and Fred Tobin of the Teamsters Union.

Connecticut Motion Picture Machine Operators Show Need For Improving Conditions In Movie Booths,
 To Lessen Chances Of Fire And Panic

See Editorial "DOnt Ptay With Fire in Connecticut
 Facua evidence that motion picture audiences and motion machine operators need and be given increased against fire hazards and consequent panic sented the Judiciary Committee of the General Assembly this week.
 The evidence which speaker pointed may well help pre- vent the of such tragedies the Cocoanu Grove fire Boston, and the Ringing Bros fire Hartford presented by the Connecticut Federation of Labor
 It placed before the Judiciary Committee the of blaming why the Connecticut Legislature should pass House Bill oO3 which would require the operator of motion picture to be constantly the operating side of the machine while the picture being shown and not leave the machine do anything else.
 The bi sponsored by the State Association of Theatrical Unions, and introduced by Rep Daniel B. Hickey , of Samford also provides that should the operator be obliged leave the operating side of the machine, owner or ager of the motion picture house provide assist the operator in the performance of his

Organized Labor AndFarmersBack Eccles' Proposal
Senate Committee Urged To Curb Speculation In Land
 And Securities

The battle to curb speculation i'm land and stocks and other se- curities, to prevent another dis astrOus crash like that in 1929, the most devastating in history, seems to be on in real earnest.
 Mariner s. EccIes, head of the Federal Reserve System, again went before the Senate Banking Commit tee, headed by Bob" Wagner of New York, to urge adoption of his pro- posal to levy a tax of 90 per cent on sales of land, stocks and other capital assets which the seller has not owned for at least two years.
 The conservative Utah banker was backed up to the hilt by organized labor and farmers.
 President William Green of the American Federation of Labor told the committee that the rise in real estate prices might break down price control. Unless speculation is checked disaster is almost in- evitabIe, he said.
 Representatives of the American Farm Bureau Federation and the Ma tlonal Farmers Union, who do not agree on many things, also indorsed Eccles' proposal.
 Continued speculation will under mine the entire price and wage stabil- lzat1on program, with grave conse- quences to postwar reconversion, Eccles warned.

As We See It
 by THE STAFF.

THB A.F.L. has sent telegrams to all members of Congress, voic- ing its complete opposition to the 'comprOmise" m pow bill agreed upon by the conference committee of the Senate and House.
 ''It seems inconceivable." Pres. William Green said in the tele- gram, ''that having reached a war stage when it is clearly evident that the German armies are decisively defeated. Congress would even consider the passage of a bill which smacks of slavery.'
 The "compromise'' would freeze needed workers of any age or either sex into essential war jobs where labor shortages existed or threatened, and apply fine-or-jaiI penalties to violators of orders.
 The House passed the bill Tues. day, with Reps. CeeIan and Talbot upholding the A.F.L.'s position by voting against it. Reps. Ryter, Kop- plemann and Woodhouse voted for It. Mrs. Luce is abroad.
 FAILURE of the US. Senate to confirm the Presidents appoint ment of Aubrey Williams is blow against labor and the liberal forces of this country. Injection of the religious issue by the poll-tax Southern Democrats, who formed a voting bloc with the Republicans, was despicable. Sen. McMahon, to his great credit, voted for Williams. Sen. Hart joined the reactionaries in both parties to vote against Will Hams.
 EXECUTIVE BOARD of the Conn. State Building and Con. struction Trades Council holds its monthly meeting at the New Haven Labor Temple Wednesday, April 4 at 10 AIM. Reports on commit tee meetings with W.M.C. Director William Fitzgerald, and appear ances before legislative commit tees will be made. Full reports of the committees will be printed, as usual, by The Union Times.
 Local 424, Iron Workers, New Haven, has contributed $25 to the Red Cross. We urge locals to send us a report on their contri- buttons, so that we may show how well organized labor has support ed this worthy cause.
 OUR EDITOR, Nathan Sher. man, spoke before the Democratic Club of North Haven Tuesday night on Prospects for Full Em- ployment After the War;" He em- phasized the A.F.L.'s position that it will take the combined efforts and planning of government, la. bor, industry, and agriculture to evolve workable plan to prevent another depression.
