Archbishop Of York Scores
Catholic Marriage Terms
BY tho Associoted Press

LONDON, Oct. 16.-The Arch
bishop of York said today that con-
ditions imposed by the Catholic
church on marriages of Catholics
and non Catholics were "humiliat-
ing He advised communicates of
the Church of England tthe Episco-
pal church in the United States)
against signing any documents
pledging that the children of such
unions would be baptized as Catho-
lies.
The archbishop, DR.. Cyril Gar
bett, said in an address prepared
for the convocation of York:
Il have known many cases where
the Anglican has stood firm and
refused to give this pledge, and
either the Roman Catholic authori-
ties have not insisted upon 1t, or,
more frequently, the marriage has
been taken in one of our churches.
Neither Anglican nor Roman
Catholic should be intimidated by
any warnings or threats that a
mixed marriage in one Of four
churches would be invalid. 1t would
not, indeed, be recognized by the
Roman Catholic church, but it
would be a marriage in the sight
of God and in accordance with laws
of both the church and the state" +"

Control s Future Very Uncertain
All Labor Opposes Contin-
 uance Of Stabilization

Washington (LPA) = Little pro- gress was reported last week from the meetings of the special committee re- quested by President Truman to work out a new wage-price policy for his administration.
 All of organized labor is sharply opposed to continuance of the Natl Wage Stabilization Board, which was over-ruled in the AFL seamen's wage dispute by ReconversiOn Di- rector John Steelman.
 CIO President Philip Murray and AFL President William Green, both of whom are on the committee set up by the Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion, have fatly opposed con- tinuance of wage controls when prices are soaring.
 Wage StabilizatiOn Board Chair man Willard Wirtz, one of the two public representatives on the Board, has left for Chicago to take up his duties as professor of law at Northwestern University. He has agreed to remain as nominal head of the Board for short time. Presi- dent Truman, evidently in an at- tempt to bolster WSB morale, last week issued a special announce ment that "the Nat'l WSB will con- tinue to administer the wage stabiI- izatiOn program"

Anti-Union Body Buys Ad Space To Hit Labor
Frank Gannett Spearheads Group, Notoriously Re-
 actionary Publisher

Washington IPA)-What labor is in for if its enemies in and out of Congress have the say-so has been made clear in the proposed program of the Committee for Constitutional Government, spear headed by Frank Cannett, upstate New York newspaper publisher.
 High point of the argument against the Wagner Act is the comparison of statistics of work stoppages", mum Der of workers involved', and "man days lost' for the periods 1924 to 1884 and 1885 to 1945. Labor histo- rians recall that the 1924-1934 period was one of the low points in organ ized labor's existence, with very lit tie organizing going on. Whereas, 1885 to 1945 was the period during which the Wagner Labor Relations Act was passed-the Magma Carta of labor-and when most of the major unions were conducting extensive or ganizing drives. None of this is men, toned, but is used instead to show "what havoc the Wagner Labor Re lations Act has brought upon us"
 Organized By Cannett
 The National Committee to Uphold Constitutional Government was or ganized during the Supreme Court fight by Frank Gannett, who became the original chairman. He was suc- ceeded by Samuel Pettingill, former Republican Congressman from Indi- ana. The organization was diSbanded ill April, 1941, and immediately suc- ceeded by a Washington, D. C., cor poration known as the Committee for Constitutional Government, Inc.
 The Committee has concentrated its power and wealth against progressive legislation (such as federal aid to education) but one of its most inten- sive campaigns has been for the re- peal of the 10th (Income Tax) Amendment and for the adoption of proposed 22nd Amendment, which would prevent Congress from taxing incomes more than 25@o. The fact that IA states have adopted this pro- posed amendment is seen as a good indication that this group can't just be dismissed as "crank outfit" Rep. Wright Patman O., Tex described the Gannett crew as a hag-waving and misunderstanding insidious organiza- tion."

R.R. Carmen Plan A Big Vote Drive

Chicago (LPA)-An all-out cam paign to rally the rai1men's vote for progressive candidates this fall was formulated at the convention of the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen AFL, which represents over 10000 workers in the railroad shops. On the issue of getting out the vote, the 650 delegates were unanimous.
 President Felix Knight and other convention speakers sounded strong appeals on the necessity of workers and their friends voting this fall for progressive candidates for Congress.
 Knight declared that the present Congress is lone of the most reaction ary" in history. If we don't get out and follow the slogan of elect your friends and defeat your enemies, then God help all of us at the next session of Congress" he said.

Atom s Power
 Theme Of Meet By Teachers
New Power Sources Chal. lenge Nations Educa-
 tional System

ST. PAUL, Minn. (LPA)- The challenge of the atomic age to the nations educational system was the theme of the annual convention of the American Federation of Teachers AFL which met there. More than 800 delegates, from 38 states, took part in the sessions.
 Atomic energy, jet-propulsion en- zines and new sources of power which our scientists in laboratories see but which are still in the theoretical stage, call for men and women who will be capable of making the social and eco- homie adjustments needed, and we can only get them through our public schools and public school teachers, as serted Rep. Frank T. Starkey O., Minn.). The Congressman is himself an AFL official.
 Truman Sends Message
 More adequate financing of public schools, and especially federal aid to education, was urged by the delegates. President Truman's message of greet ing to the AFL teachers Sald EX- penditures for education are sound investment in the nations future |. Legislation to assist in equalizing edu- cational opportunities among and within the states was introduced in the 7oth Congress, second session but failed of Congressional action. shall again recommend such legislation to the next session of Congress"
 Reports of organizing progress were given to the delegates, showing 72 new locals and four state federations set up last year. Leading the list was Louisiana, where the AFL organized IS new locals. Joseph F. Landis of Cleveland was reelected president of the AFT in a closing session of the convention.

Congress Starts
 AChain Reaction

Washington (LPA)-The kind of "chain reaction" that Congress set in motion when it crippled price control was illustrated here last week by what happened to flax seed prices.
 OPA raised prices on flax seed "to encourage increased production" On Sept. IS, OPA increased prices of lin seed oil because flax seed prices had gone up. It also increased the price of substitutes for linseed oil, because lin seed oil prices had been raised.
 Now, trade publications predict that paint manufacturers are going to get a price rise because of the rise in lin seed oil prices.
 This, added to the recent price rises in other building materials, will no doubt cause higher prices for veterans homes, and give landlords additional reason to demand higher rents.

The Truth About The Big Meat Shortage

WASHINCTON-(FP)-PrOof that the Republicans are getting the best of their political mar riage with polltax Democrats is found in a tabulation that shows 779o of the COP members in the House lined up with their party 75@o of the time.
 On the other hand, just under 6O9o of the House Democrats voted with their colleagues three quarters of the time.
 Leading this list of Demo- cratic mavericks is Rep. John s. Wood CD, Ca.) who ran with the Republicans and against his own party on 82% of the votes from April to August, l946.

Need For Homes Presses Truman Recall Congress
Desperate Conditions Clear ly Align Proponents
 And Foes On Issue

WASHINGTON (LPA) = There is no middle ground left in the fight between those groups trying to get decent, reasonably priced homes for veterans, and the big money, big-profits elements in the building industry.
 Veterans groups, and the Natl Public Housing Conference, called on President Truman demanding that he bring Congress back to Washington to pass the Wagner-Ellender-T Taft housing bill. Eery hour this bill re- mains unpassed, American Veterans Committee head Charles Bolte told a rally, ten houses for veterans are lost forever. The Veterans of Foreign Wars strength was thrown into the fight as result of unanimous ap- proval of the bill at its recent conven- ton.
 Owners Object
 On the other side, housing and real estate lobbyists played one of their ace cards at a meeting of the Natl Home and Property Owners Founda- tion. They demanded immediate dis missal of Wyatt, by President Tru- man, because of his actions to force scarce building materials out of com mercial construction and into homes for veterans. They also took crack at the Housing Expediter for his sup port of publicly financed housing in the event private industry fails to meet the pocketbooks of veterans and their families.
 Squarely in the middle of the fight was Wyatt, who delivered a stinging attack on black market chiseling in building materials. Speaking to the Commerce and In- dustry Assn. of New York, he said ]: 'Let's stamp out this black market monkey-business-as-usual. H Ow The Black market will die of un- dernourishment as soon as the hon. est majority in this country start boycotting. The crooked minority who put black market profits ahead of homeless veterans.e

Defeat Converted
 To Victory By LAM

Salvaging victory from an earlier defeat, the International Association of Machinists has negotiated a 16.8 cent an hour increase for over 1000 mechanics and other ground crew per sonne1 of the Northwest Airlines, a transcontinental system
 That increase comes on top of an average raise of 20 cents an hour se- cured earlier in the year to make up for reduction of the work week from AS to 40 hours. That makes the ag- gregate boost this year nearly 37 cents an hour.
 Back in July the Machinists staged a strike after the management refused to make new concessions. That walk out, the first to tie up a transconti- mental airline, was quickly called off after President Truman appointed an Emergency Board to hear the dispute
 The board ruled against the I. A. M. demands as contrary" to the sta bilization program, but, nonetheless, the Machinists, by vigorous bargain ing, finally got the management to make the 16.8 cent offer, which the members approved.

State Workers Wages In Arms Plants Cut 29a
Made $66.5O Before VIE Day; Now Averaging
 SAY; 7@0 Jobless

Earnings of wartime workers in the Connecticut small arms indus try have been reduced $2O.OO a week on the average, or 29 percent, since year ago, it was stated by Wedell D. Macdonald, Regional Di- rector of the Bureau of Labor Sta tistics of the U. s. Department of Labor. The latest follOw-up survey of the reconversion experience of a representative group of small arms workers indicated that those re- porting earnings during both pe- riOds showed a drop in average weekly wages from $65.5O just be- fore VE-Day to $47.OO during the present period.
 The decrease in earnings may be attributed to shorter hours of work and less overtime pay, as well as the shifting of workers to lower paid jobs since VJ-Day. In April 1945 the workers covered in the BIS survey were working an average week of sos hours. By the summer of 1946, however, these same workers were only 44.6 hours a week.
 LIVING COSTS UP 4O%o
 In June 1946 the weekly earnings level of ex-war workers in the Con necticut small arms plants, however, was higher and the workweek shorter than in 1941 prior to Pearl Harbor. Weekly earnings of this group of workers have increased about 12 per cent since then, while the workweek decreased 3.6 hours. From January l941 to July 1946, roughly the same period, there occurred a 40 percent rise in the consumers price index.
 76 JOBLESS
 Almost one-half of the workers studied had changed jobs since the initial report to the Bureau of La bOr Statistics in the spring of l945, but about 28 percent were still

Building Trades Of New Haven Endorse Tone
Elm City CLIO. Supports Tone, Geelan, Snow

The political pot in labor circles in Connecticut began to boil this week. The New Haven Building Trades Council, meeting at the La bor Temple, unanimously voted to endorse Joseph M. Tone, Demo- cratic nominee for United States Senator.
 The New Haven Industrial Union Council, CIO, also meeting Monday night, voted to endorse Tone, Rep. James P. Gee1an of New Haven, Democratic nominee for a second term; Wilbert Snow, of Middletown, Democratic nominee for governor and Representative-at-Large Joseph P. Ryter of Hartford, Democratic nomi- nee to succeed himself.

Building X Construction Trades Council, and business agent of Local 424, Iron Workers; and Harry Russo, business agent of Lo- cal 455, Hod Carriers Union; and others.
 All praised Tones strong labor record, his administration of the Con- necticut Department of Labor; his record as personal representative of former Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins and his liberalism.
 It is generally expected that a large number of locals and coun- cils throughout the state will en- dorse Tone.

Vets Find Wages For
 Family Support.
81 Amvet Posts Report Members Not Getting
 Adequate Income

WASHINGTON (LPA) - Most World War II veterans are not re- ceiving an income sufficient to prop erly care" for their families, poll conducted by the American Veterans of World War II (AMVETS) dis closed last week.
 In "grass roots" baIloting 8l of 98 AMVETS posts throughout the country reported that their mem- bers were not getting an adequate income. Only eight said incomes were sufficient and nine were unde- cided
 Soaring Prices
 The AMVETS poll was borne out by a study released by the Labor De- partment's Bureau of Labor Statistics which showed that in March veterans averaged $46.75 a week or $1.O5 an hour for an average work week some what over A hours. The governments S survey found that this represented a gain of $6.50 a week and 20c an hour over the earnings. of the same men in lIlCH ldol plC-SCl VIC JODS.
 The AMVETS members, finding their real wages clipped increas- ingly by soaring prices, voted over- whelmingly in favor of continual ton of price control and ceilings on the sale of houses. They voted for boycott of makeshift products, such as sport shirts, instead of the economical white shirts.
 About 159o of the veterans were un- employed in March, BIS found. Five of every six veterans were either working or going to school, and the remainder were neither working nor seeking work.

One recent attempt to discourage supervisors unionization has been blocked by the NLRB. Shortly after inspectors at the Pittsburgh plant of Allis- Chalmers were organized, the company stripped them of their supervisory functions on the claim that such action dissipated their divided royalties"
 The NLRB found this action to be an unfair labor practice, reject ed ''the assumption that there is a necessary incompatibility between membership in a union and honest performance of duty.'
 A COMPANY'S alleged inability to pay a wage award is no defense if the pay rates are below those paid in the area or in the same or comparable industries. So rules a fact-fnding board appointed to in- vestigate a dispute between Western Union and AFL and CIO unions in the telegraph industry.
 Only where the rates demanded are hig gher than that is inability to pay relevant, according to the board. It is estimated that the NLRB recommendations will cost the company some SIG, ,OOO, ,OOO an- nually. But, says the NLRB, if in- ability to pay were the only ques- ton it would mean that inefficient firms would get bargain rates on labor, and that employees would be making up the losses out of their own pockets.

 THE meat packing industry no longer tries to cover its industry strike with fig leaf. When exorbi- tant profits are curbed, it not only shuts down but boasts about it.
 And yet politicians can't under stand why the people sometimes want to take over these 'private" industries from their owners.

 Acting upon her suggestion, the meeting voted to request the Con- necticut Federation of Labor to analyze the budget prepared by the Statistical Bureau of the Depart ment of Labor and to make its finding public.

 DOLLAR IS THE SAME
 In a discussion of the relative status of the white-collar workers and factory workers, Mrs. Peggy Gleicher declared that the former would find sympathy unsatisfying."
 ''The girl who uses an office ma chine," she said, should realize that she is not superior to the fac tory worker who operates differ ent kind of machine. Neither the butcher. the grocer nor the land- lord considers the office girls dol lar worth more than the shop work er's dollar.
 "To receive decent salaries, to be paid for overtime, to have seniority rights and to obetain other benefits enjoyed by union workers, office em- ployees should organize as hundreds of thousands of white collar workers already have done"
