AFL Blasts Policy

A strong attack on the Presi. dents new wage-price policy was issued by the AFL. t'The President would have done American workers a greater service if he had stood by his August l8 wage pOlicy,'' the Federation said, in a lengthy anaIy- sis Of government wage controls published in the current issue of LabOr's Monthly Survey.
 The post-VJ day decision by Presi- dent Truman to eliminate all wage setting apparatus in the governments Stabilization machinery is applauded by the AFL but now, "The President has retreated." Under the August IS policy, "our unions won outstanding wage gains through collective bar gaining. None of our gains caused any increase in prices.
 3,OOO,OOO Won Raises
 "To date we have won wage in- creases averaging from 10 to 20 cents all hour and up for about 3,0OO,OOO workers the AFL publication com putes.
 In addition, the AFL points out, almost all AFL wage gains were made without strikes. 'tEarly in February, when a total of 1,4OO,- 900 workers were on strike, only 6O,OOO of these strikers were AFL members"
 Unions outside the Federation" it goes on. "had other methods. Stimuli taneous strikes in basic industries, with uncompromising demands, were designed to force government inter Vention with fact-hnding boards and wage formulas. To meet their de- mandS, the President broke the steel price ceiling, then issued his drastic wage-price order of Feb. IA to deal with the consequences of this price break. So the government again in tervenes between workers and man. agement, collective bargaining is again frozen and all workers are put under rigid wage controls. All workers will be robbed of part of their wage gains, for the price line will bulge upward and living costs will rise. This is the end result of forcing government to intervene"

Register Chided By Council For
 Misstatement
N. H. Paper Asked To Cor rect Erroneous Assertion
 About Musicians

The New Haven Central Labor Council, at its last meeting, unani- mously voted to request the NesU HGuen Register to correct an injus- tice done organized labor and the Musicians Union. The matter was brought to the attention of the Council by Harry l.. Benson, re- cording secretary of the New Haven Federation of Musicians, Local 2S4. As result, the Council pass ed the following resolution:
 Whereas, the New Haven Fedora ton of Musicians has cooperated wholeheartedly with innumerable civic organizations by donating the ser vices of its members in conjunction with various fund-raising drives, and with state entertainment pro- grams for Veterans hospitals, and, with other sections of organized labor, has made financial contributions to all worthy civic causes; and Whereas, the NesU H0ren Regis ter, in its column, the Elm City Clarion, falsely attributed state ment to President Petrillo of the American Federation of Musicians, a statement which asserted that 'lO. cal musicians shall not play in such halls as the West Haven Armory unless 20 men are hired at $2O per man, with overtime pay of $lO per hour; and
 Whereas, this inaccurate state. ment has created a depressing eff. feet on many proposed social func. tiOns, an effect which is detrimen. tai to the welfare and understand. ing of all concerned in negotiations for the employment of musicians therefore,
 ''Be It Resolved, That the New Haven Central Labor Council sin cerely regrets this unwarranted mis statement, and requests the Nes. HGUen Register to publish correc' ton, in order to undue this wrOng."
 A copy of the resolution has beer sent by Council Secretary John Red nlond to the Register.

Gen. Holdridge Rocks Brass
 Hats With Anti-Draft Barrage

Washington (LPA) - Last-min. ute testimony, including that of a West Point graduate, an Army ca. reer man who reached the rank of Brigadier General, slowed down the drive of supporters of peacetime conscriptiOn in Congrtss last week
 The House Military Affairs Com mittee was split wide open over insist ence of Chairmen Andrew J. May (D., Ky.) that hearings on the ques- tion be closed. Republicans and some Democrats demanded that the com mittee should consider a resolution in- troduced by House minority leader Martin of Massachusetts.
 International Action
 Martin proposes a resolution urg- ing the President to do everything IT his power to obtain international agreement among the big powers tc abolish conScription in all countries oi the world. His supporters are insist ing on consideration of his resolution before the peacetime conscriptior measure is drafted.
 Testimony by Brig. Gen. Henry C. Holdridge (Ret.), head of the legislative committee of the Vet eran League of America, set the brass hats back on their heels. Hold ridge, who graduated from and has taught at West Point, served a to- tai of almost 30 years in the Army He was, from l94O to l943, Com mandant of the Adjutant Generals School, and served as director ot schools training of the army ad ministration schools through which he turned out 35,OOO students.

0'Toole Urges Postal Workers Affiliate GEL
Labor Official Declares Gov ernment Workers Should
 Benefit From Gains

Government workers should share in the economic gains of the country, declared J. Lawrence O'Toole, assistant secretary of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, in addressing the 24th annual state convention of the Connecticut Fed eration of Post Office Clerks at the Bond Hotel Sunday.
 Far sighted businessmen and economists are agreed with leaders of the A. F. of L." said MT. O'Toole, "that sharp drop in the national in- come must be avoided in the post war years. It is highly encouraging to find that unemployment is not as severe as was expected. Despite the emphasis placed on strikes in the press and over the radio millions of workers are covered by new agree ments arrived at through collective bargaining negotiations without stop pages"
 UniOnism Here to Stay
 It is apparent that many progres- sive employers have recognized unions as an integral part of industry. h. stead of insisting upon an outworn open shop policy either the union shop or the closed shop is accepted and these employers by friendly at tltude toward the chosen representa- tives of their employers have gained their confidence and are able to work out mutually satisfactory agreements
 Through the cooperation o1 government, management and la Dor there is every reason to believe that we can attain the $l55 billion national income annually that will mean jobs for all. The high pro ductivity that is stressed so much on all sides as desirable to raise the American standard of living should give us little concern. Con stantly increasing production is characteristic of American indus try"
 MT. OToole suggested to the con- vention that all Post Office Clerks locals in the state should be afili- ated with both the Connecticut Fed eration of Labor and the central bodies in their cities and towns, and take . more active part in these organiza- tions.
 Your Place Is With Us
 "Your place." he said, lis side by side with other organized workers ir Connecticut. They want to know about your problems, and you know you can count upon their entire sym pathetic support"

Case Bill Wires
 Sent To Senators

The following telegram has been sent by John Redmond, secretary of the New Haven Gen. tral Labor Council, to U. s. Senators Brien McMahon and Thomas Hart of Conn.,, and to James E. Murray, chairman of the Senate Committee of Educa- ton and Labor, which is consid- ering the Case Bill:
 ''Strongly urge you work and vote against the vicious Case Anti-LabOr Bill. We can achieve industrial harmony only through free collective bargaining be- tween organized labor and man. agement. The Case Bill is a blow not only at organized labor, but democracy as we'll, and would re- suit in shackling working men and make them subject to jail sentences for carrying on the legitimate activities of their un- ions. This is a dangerous bill, and must be defeated"

FEPC Supporters
 Will Try It Again

Washington (LPA)-Supporters of the bill for a Permannet FEPC were told last week that many Senators have placed themselves on record in favor of again trying to bring the measure to the floor of the Senate for democratic debate in this session of Congress.
 SpOkesmen for more than 50 na- tional organizations met here last weekend under the auspices of the Natl Council for Permanent FEPC to map out next steps in their drive for the measure.
 There are still 50 signatures needed on a discharge petition which would hurdle the hostile House Rules Com mittee and bring the measure to the floor of the House.

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

EXECUTIVE BOARD of the Conn. State Building and COnstruc- ton Trades Council will hold its monthly meeting at the New Haven Labor Temple Wednesday, March 6 at II AM. Further action on the Wage Adjustment Board and the housing problem may be expected.
 NOT one of the 25 unions affili- ated with Council No. 16, American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, is even re- motely considering a strike, despite the fact that the state employees are miserably underpaid. We liked George Thorpe's statement, issued when malicious reports were spread on this subject. Why the press pays any attention to the s"Connecticut State Employees Association, $ which is anything but bona fde union, is beyond us.

 More Dam Money
 IMMEDIATELY after World War |, the government dropped all price control. Although the pent- up demand at that time was much less than today, it was sufficient to produce imitation. The cost of liv- ing scared, reaching peak lO8% above the prewar level. A dollar of a mans wages could buy only 4Oc worth of food, clothes or rent for his family. Ninety-one percent of the rise in rents and 43@o of the general price imitation came after World War I. And after imitation and boom came the crash, depres- sion, unemployment.
 Threat of imitation today is more dangerous than it was back in 1919. This war lasted longer.

''The inflationary pressures on prices and rents, with relatively few exceptions, are now at an all-time peak," Pres. Truman reported in his State of the Union message.

Prof. Bakke Outlines Pro- gram To The New Haven
 Central Labor Council

Professor E. Wight Bakke, di- rector of the newly-established La bor and Management Center al Yale University, upon the invita-. tion of the New Haven Central La bor Council, outlined the purpose and scope of the Center before that body at it's meeting Thursday.
 The Center was originated as a public service, MT. Bakke said. In quiries coming to the University from both labor and management have in- dicated strong feeling that the Uni versity'S research and educational fa- cilities should and can be used to con- tribute in solving their problems.
 To achieve this mutual benefit, the function of the University is not to take sides, he said, but rath- CT to try and understand the req sons for any differences in the inn mediate interests of labor and man agement. The Center would ana. lyze, clarify and interpret problems and promote understanding of management's position and that of the unions, Professor Bakke said.
 The courses and conferences are set up to provide unbiased answers basic both to practical policy and to the ad- vancement of social and psychological science. Practical men i'll labor and management and of universities, there fore, have a common interest. By combining their efforts each can bene- fit from the experience and skill oi the others, he said

|A.F.L. Sharply CriticiseS New
 Truman Plan
WISE And OPA Announce New Bases For Price,
 Wage Adjustments

WASHINGTON (LPA) - The outlines of the new Truman wage-price policy became clearer last week, as the agencies deSig- mated to carry out economic Stabilization announced their first steps to carry out the return to wage as well as price controls.
 To clear its books, the Wage StabilizatiOn Board has instructed its Regional boards to notify ap- plicants whose increases already were in effect prior to Feb. IA, date of the executive order, that no fur ther action by the Board is neces- sary. The parties thus will be in a position to use the wage increases as basis for price relief in im1me- diate applications to OPA.
 Five Points Listed
 OPA announced the basis on which it would-or would not-grant price increases. The agency warned that it should not be assumed that a price boost would automatically follow a wage increase. Here are the conditions laid down by OPA.
 |. Before any industry or firm can use wage increases as a basis for seeking price action, the wage increase must be approved for tho purpose of the National Wage Sta. bilizatiOn Board.
 2. OPA cannot make any ad- vance commitments about price inc creases contingent upon prOspec- tive grant of particular wage in. crease.
 3. To make the most effective use of its staff and resolve prOmpt- Iy questions of price increases af- fecting large number of cOampan- ies, OPA will give primary empha- sis to the review of ceiling prices for an industry as a whole on an overall basis.
 4. OPA will, as a general rule, work through established industry advisory committees and will rely on their help in obtaining speedily the necessary information for re- examination of ceiling prices.
 5. In instances where only some of the firms within an indus. try have granted wage increase OF where some firms have granted in- creases and others have unsettled wage negotiations, OPA will con- suit with industry advisory cOmmit- tees as to the most appropriate time to appraise the need for price relief.''
 Further clearing up the details of the order, retiring Economic Stabil- izer John C. Collet announced that effective date of the ruling that prior approval must be obtained for wage boosts which are to be used as a basis for price relief is postponed un- til March IS.
