FoodAndApparel Prices Increase .1%lnTwoWeeks
City Consumers Pocket books Shrink Further
 In Half Month

WASHINGTON (LPA) = High CT clothing prices as result of the end of price control were reported last week, as the Bureau of Labor Statistics found price rises of 3.3% to O.2% in the two weeks from Nov. II to Nov. 26, in twelve large cities surveyed. Food prices continued to advance as much as 29o in some cities in the same short period.
 All in all, the government figures indicate, a penny was taken out of every dollar of the city consumer dur ing the half-month period.
 Wholesale commodity prices con- tinued high, foreshadOwing further high prices for consumers. Food prices declined, but only slightly, and the effect was not expected to reach the consumer for some time. According to the BLS' figures re. leased Nov. 30, wholesale prices were at the highest level since 1920.
 The Agriculture Dept predicted that meat prices would decline moderate 1y" from present high levels as meat production approaches its yearly win ter peak. Prices for pork, ham and bacon, as we'll as lamb, are expected to rise rapidly next spring as hogs and lambs will be in short supply. Cheerfully expecting the worst, the Agriculture authorities say that de cline in consumer income and spend ing by the latter part of 1947 would have an immediate and direct bearing on prices of meat animals, particularly in the fourth quarter when cattle-mar- ketings reach a sensational peak and spring g-pig marketing becomes heavy"

 MINERS SUPPORTED
 President Barry speaking on the Year Book, urged the delegates to show no hesitancy in working to put 1t over.
 The following telegram was sent by the Council to President Truman:
 Organized labor is shocked that our government has lent itself to pro ceedings which are intended to wreck the United Mine Workers of America. The miners and their president have just grievances which should be settled in good faith by negotiations between the government and the Mine Work CTS.
 sWe think 1t is your duty to see to it that the wrecking decision of the Federal Court is withdrawn upon ap- plication of the Attorney General, and that negotiations immediately begin with the miners for new contract. The fate of the entire labor movement is at stake in this case. Labor will not retreat. We urge constructive action by you immediately"
 A similar telegram was sent by Painters Union, No. 186, New Haven.

Natl Conference Vote Against All Restrictive Acts
Delegates Also Oppose Any Discrimination By Elm
 ployment Service

Washington (LPA) = De- mand for the repeal of the anti-labOr Smith, COnnaIly Act and opposition to compulsory arbitration, labor courts and ''any federal or state Iegisla- ton which seeks in any way to weaken or undermine labor uniOns," was voiced here this week by the 18th National Conference on Labor Legis- latiOn.
 Nearly 200 delegates, includ- ing state labor commissioners, AFL, CIO and Railroad Brother hoods representatives, took a firm stand against restrictive la Dor legislation and in favor of improving existing laws covering minimum wages, equal pay for equal work for men and women, social security, "and an effective civil rights law that will protect the exercise of civil rights for all Americans"
 NO DISCRIMINATION
 The Conference, over the Objec- tiOns of two southern state labor commissioners, also went on record as opposed to discrimination be- cause of ''sex, creed or color'' in job referrals by the U. s. Employ ment Service.
 Delegates were startled by Wage Hour Administrator L. Metcalfe Walling who charged that 509o of the nations industrial and business estab- lishments inspected are violating the Fair Labor Standards Act Only 45,- 900 inspections can now be made an- nually, he disclosed, altho 5OO00O firms are covered by the act
 Discussing the present 4Oc an hour minimum wage Walling de- clared that At least 65c an hour minimum is now necessary to ap- prOach the minimum wage concept embodied in the law when passed in l938."
 NO CURES WANTED
 The resolution on labor laws assert ed that Current suggestions for fed eral or state legislation such as bar ring union security from collective bargaining, applying antitrust laws to organized labor, limiting the right to strike or to engage in other concerted action such as to picket or boycott, re- quiring unions to incorporate, impos- ing legal restraints upon the internal affairs of labor unions, amending the Natl Labor Relations Act-all have as their purpose to undermine and weaken labor unions.
 ''The current problem in indus trial relations" the conference agreed, ''is not how to curb labor but rather how to obtain for labor substantial wage increases to make up for loss in earnings due to the rapidly rising cost of living and to share in the increased productivity. Current profits of business, after taxes, are greater than business profits enjoyed during the peace time era preceding the war. Any weakening or undermining of la- Dor organizations at this. time would result only in further con- centratiOn of our national resources in the hands of large corporations at the expense of the American people, thereby assuring economic catastrophe.

pretty soon. You don't say how
soon, but you know. You tell so
much OF The truth that you figure Ill
believe you've told all the truth.
At first couldn't dope out why you
came to me. 1t didn't make sense
except one way: Suppose you
were trying to set up an alibi. You
probably knew that stood in with
the police. So if I said that you
couldn't have done it, they'd have
accepted my statement as the best
alibi you could offer.
''Your timing was right on the
nose. Too much so. You insisted on
coming back here with me. Why?
So you'd give the impression of
having been with me all the time.
Until l thought it over. I'd have
sworn you we're, too. But you
weren't. This thing was cooked be-
tween you and Julian. Murders have
been committed for lot less than
two million dollars"
at was ours anyway Coriiss
shrilled. "We'd have gotten it. -.
In twenty years, perhaps. Turn
bull was a quiet, healthy guy - and
he wasn't handing out much money
to you and Julian. Every penny of
income was his so long as he lived.
But that detail you could correct.
'sIHE second thing that started
me wondering was my little set-to
with Julian, who seemed to know a
lot about me. And why did he pick
a fight with me? The answer was
that he was stalling for time. had
to be held where / was. had to be
so engrossed in what was happening
that l wouldn't hear the sound of
a .25.
"You, Corliss, went in the front
door after / did. You listened out
side Mr.. Turnbull's Office. You
heard the quarrel with Sanchez. You
heard Sanchez leave. You walked in
and shot Turnbull. You went back
upstairs and returned to the car.
That took time, but not too much.
''I'd wondered why you knew in
stantly that I'd had a fight with
Julian. Then he left while we were
still parked before the house. He
cooked himself a perfect alibi.
But the reason he didn't use it
was because he intended to wait
until he needed it. Knowing he could
clear himself whenever he wanted to.
he wasn't worried. He was probably
even willing to be suspected and
arrested.
"You overplayed your hand. Cor
liss. You're in up to your neck. And
what amuses me is that Julian will
get the same dose you get"
He was out of his chair like a
jack-in-the-box. That's lie"
Taggart stepped in: "It amt no
lie, son. You're as guilty as she il"
Julian started defending himself;
