Pays High Tribute
 ToAFL Cooperation

MINNEAPOLIS.-In a fare we'll letter to his employees, Charles l.. Horn, President of the Twin Cities Ordnance Plant of the Federal Cartridge Corp, paid high tribute to their war services and to the cooperation of the American Federation of Labor, which represented them. The plant was closed down when the war ended. In his letter, MT. Horn said:
 "This will be my farewell let ter to many of you. Peace is at hand. The day for terminating war production at the Twin Cities Ordance Plant has come.
 FOUR BILLION
 August, 194l. saw the conn mencement of this great plant. In April, I942, the first cartridges were accepted and since that day over four billion cartridges of high quality have been accepted by the United States Government. A great feat. In fair weather and foul the faithful employees have done a mag nificent job.
 "Now comes the end, and to each and every one of you I extend the hand of fellowship, bid you goodbye and wish you godspeed. I hope in the future you will always recall with pride the splendid task you have per formed.
 S'T hope that Our paths ,UiH often cross and that s0Iten you remember the plant you ,OiH also remember the boss, the management, sCho haUe atsU0ys endeavOred to be equit- able and fair in aN things.
 A.F.L. TRIBUTE
 T would not feel satisfied with this farewell unless I expressed to the leaders of the American Federation of Labor my appreciation of their en- couragement and help. Our associa- ton has been very pleasant one. The leaders and members have always shown a willingness to help solve the problems which have arisen from time to time.
 "Since the day roe commenced operation not one minutes time has been lost in operation because Of labor di6icuIties. This is q record Of sUEich the management feels proud, and it is record sOhich must be Uery gratifying to the un- ions and their leaders. ana cOnG- dent the success Ot this operation can be attributed to the cooperation sUhich the management has alsOays receiUed.''

 Those who spoke included Ben- jamin Peck of Danbury, and Carl Calasso of Stamford, both vice. presidents of the Connecticut Fed eration of Labor; Michael J. Barry of Hartford, and James O'Kane, New Haven, president and secre- tary-treasurer respectively of the Conn. State Building & COnstruc- tion Trades Council; Rep. Edward (''Buster") Rice of Norwich, Teamsters; Joseph P. CIeary of Bridgeport, repres esenting the Bridgeport Teamsters and the Bridgeport Central Labor Union.

WORKERS UNPROTECTED

Workers, on the other hand, do not have this protection. Most of the jobs now being offered in Connecticut pay 40, 50, and 60 cents an hour, with little or no overtime. For unemployed workers to take these jobs would mean drastic lowering of the wage standards which organized labor has fought so long and so hard to estab- fish.
 These standards must be maintained so that workers and their families may have decent standard of living, and because low wages mean low pur- chasing power, which in turn mean a depression, which is as harmful to business as 1t is to labor. l
 Several speakers charged that the Connecticut Unemployment Com pensation Division is attempting to lower wage standards in this state by threatening unemployed work CTS who previously earned $50, $6O, and $7O week with removal from the unemployed benefit rolls if they refused to take work which pays $25 and $50 a week. Others criti- cized the Division for speaking in Washington against the Kilgore- Forand Bill, which would provide assistance to the states SO that there would be uniform unemployment benefits of $25 a week for 26 weks. All demanded that the Legislature adopt this standard.

 In his first action as the House reconvened, Smith intro. duced HR 3937 to repeal his War Labor Disputes act, and also to abolish the National War Labor Board. It was referred to the committee on military af- fairs, which is headed by an- other anti-laborite, Rep. Andrew J. May O., Ky.).
 Smiths original bill would terminate both his anti-strike law and the WLB six months after Pres. Truman announces the official cessation of hostili- ties.

Machinists Enlarge Organizing Staff

Some unions are pullnig in their horns on organizing work generally because of losses in members and in come due to wholesale layoffs in war plants. Others, however, are plan ming expansion.
 One of the most significant steps along that line has been taken by the Machinists' Executive Council. Ii authorized the employment of a sub stantial number Of new grand lodge representatives, which will bring the l. A. M. staff to the highest point in history.

''Deeds speak louder than words!" Compare the record of American workers with subsidized columnists in our war effort. The results obtained by men and women war workers are the best answer to their critics.

Connecticut Can Afford Larger Benefits

That Connecticut can afford this was shown by Feinmark, who pointed out that that there is now $16o, 100000 in the states Unemployment Compen- sation Fund, gain of over $31 ,0O0,- 900 in the last year.
 "This money was paid in to take care of unemployed workers, and it should be used now," he said. There are 100000 unemployed men and women in our state, and the number IS growing. The Fund was set up for just one purpose-to help the unem- ployed. The present Unemployment Compensation Law is inadequate. The special session can pass the law we all want, and we have the funds to meet increased payments, which our war workers deserve"
 NO ANSWER
 In answer to Waterhouse, who had previously said that workers won't work if unemployment benefits are too high, labor representatives pointed out that the maximum payment to a fam fly of four under the present law will be $28 a week. They asked how long could family of four exist on $28 a week. There was no answer.
 In speaking for minimum wage law of Csc an hour, the union men pointed out that with few excep- lions, organized labor would not be affected, since most union con- tracts call for a higher rate. How ever, they made it clear that low wage rates pull down the entire wage structure, and through made quate purchasing power, endanger our entire economy. They referred to President Truman's recommen. dation that the present 4Oc per hour minimum be raised to CSC. and urged that Connecticut follow this course. They cited the niser. ably low minimum weekly wages now being paid in several indus. tries in this state: retail selling. SIG; laundry workers, SIS; beauty parlor workers, $l4.5O; and dry cleaning, $14. In some of these trades, workers are employed as many as 48 and 60 hours week for these wages.

trades ln carrying 1t out. They pointed out that the construction of state in stitutions had been eliminated during the war; that the construction of schools, hospitals, roads and bridges was far behind the needs of the people.
 The states and the various cities have funds for this program, they said, adding that the Legislature should take the lead in helping the cities to plan, while at the same time working out the states own building and construction program.
 VETERANS NEED HELP!
 Virtually every A.F.L. speaker de- veloped the necessity for the state to give additional help to returning war veterans. A cash bonus to be paid by the state was one of the proposals, Massachusetts being one of the states referred to as having enacted law providing for bonus.
 The general tone of the meeting was that the Legislature has duty to perform to the great masses of people of Connecticut to help them in the reconversiOn period. Labor spoke for all workers, organized as we'll as unorganized. The hearing was presided over in a friendly and sympathetic manner by Sen. Nicho- las Spellman.
 WE, THE PEOPLE!
 The people Of Connecticut spoke at Tuesday's hearing. In one united vOice they said:
 ''We demand q special session of the Legislature to deal sVith the human problems Ot recon UersiOn. You can help us avOid misery and Humiliation of un- employment and sub-standard sUGges. We sUiH not be denied!''

That information came from F.

He charged that alcohol accounts
for the fact that the death rate
among colored people is higher than
among Europeans and Asiatics.
About 9.48 per cent out of every
