How They Voted

Of the thirteen issues on which the Senate voted last week, Connecticut's two Senators, Brien McMahon and Thomas C. Hart, found themselves di- vided on eight, agreed on three and Senator Hart not voting on two others which Senator McMahon opposed.
 While they agreed on motions to extend rent controls another year and to fix the price of silver at 9O.3 cents an ounce, those motions were defeated. Both helped stamp Sen. ate approval on the final OPA measure.
 TWO resolutions which Senator Mo- Mahon helped to defeat on which Senator Hart did not vote would have provided for periodic five per cent increases
 On the following eight issues, Senator Hart voted in favor while Senator McMahon voted against:
 1-Exemption of meat, poultry and eggs from price control, adopted; 2-exemption of dairy products from price control, adopted; 3-exemption of cotton seed and soy bean products from price control, adopted; 4-pro- hibiting restoration of price con- trol on petroleum products unless supply was low, adopted; 5-free- ing grain, livestock and poultry feed from control, adopted;
 6-Freeing all grain and grain by- products from control, rejected; 7- Taft Modified Profits amendment, re- jected and 8-Pepper substitute pro- viding for Price Decontrol Board, re- Jected.
 The only action in the House found the entire Connecticut dele gation of six opposing the estab- lishment of 9O.3 cents for silver | which proposal was defeated.

Ceelan Seeking
 Shipping Probe

Congressman James P. Geelan, of New Haven, has asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate ac- tivities of Italian American Railway Exress Co. of New York and kindred companies who it has been reported to him are engaged in business of shipping parcels of food stuffs and clothing abroad in excess of weight permitted by parcel post regulations and doing so at an exhorbitant price.
 From information received, it ap- pears that these companies are fol- lowing practice of gouging people who are powerless to resist the ex- cessive price demands because in most instances 1t probably means saving of lives of friends and relatives abroad. Congressman Geelan promises to ex- plore every possible means to control this practice and see that it is stopped.

Here Are Your Rights Under 'EviictionLaw'
OPA Official Shows Ten ant Can Not Be Evicted
 For Defying Rent Hike

A landlord cannot enforce a de. manded increase in rent during the present period of non-cOntrol by threatening to evict the tenant. Governor Baldwin's suspension of the eviction statutes by prOcIama. tiOn acting as a stOp-gap to pre-. vent rent boosts.
 This interpretation of the Cover nor's proclamation was issued by James L. DeLucia, Chief Rent Attor- ney of the New Haven Area Rent Office. The interpretation applies tc all Connecticut.
 ''The suspension order will in. directly prevent the landlord from demanding an increase in rent since he will not be able to enforce his demands through the eviction of a tenant on the ground of non. payment of rent,'' MT. DeLucia said.
 Governor Baldwin's War Order No. g, which suspends the state evic- tion law, will prevent any landlord rom taking advantage of the fact that OPA Rent Controls terminated June 30, 1946," MT. DeLucia con. tinued.
 Cannot Evict
 No tenant can be evicted for failure to pay an increase in rent which is above the maximum legal rent set or approved by the OPA. The suspen- sion order protects tenants of dwell ing apartments, tenements, houses hotel rooms and rooms in roomine houses.
 ''It does not, however, apply to or affect any cases pending in courts or before Justices of the Peace on July 2, 1946, the date of the issuance of the Covernor's order, or where notices to quit DOS. session were served before June SOth of this year; or where Ger. tificates Relating to Eviction have authorized the institution of evic.

Rap Monopolists Holding Back Vital Material
Plan For 100000 Homes Stymied Because Of
 Financial Greed

The nationwide policy of the A. F. of L. to get up full steam on the program to build 2,00O,- 900 homes is being styrnied not because Labor won't cooperate but because financial manipula- tions have kept materials out of reach, it appeared this week.
 If Uncle Sam's housing program does not go forward as planned, it will not be the fault of organized labor.
 "You get the materials, and break the landlords loose,''' union spokesmen have, in effect, told the government, "and we'll get behind you and go the limit. So far as the workers are con- cerned, you'll have no trouble"
 AFL PLEDGED
 This pledge was made by the A. E. of l.. Building Trades De- partment in behalf of the mem- bers, representing at least 90 per cent of all skilled construc- ton workers in the country.
 This pledge is not new to this state where the Connecticut Building Trades and Construction Council have fol- lowed similar policy for some time.
 At meeting with the Federal housing expediter, Wilson w. Wyatt, representatives of the Building Trades Department not only made the prom ise, but, in very formal fashion, put it in writing.
 Ban on Work StOppages
 An agreement signed with Wyatt provides that the union leaders will do everything in their power to pre- vent work stoppages. When disputes arise, as they naturally will in such a far-hung industry, the unions will seek in every way possible to bring about peaceful settlements.
 In return, Wyatt agreed to es. tabiish a ''working relationship with the unions that will make real. izatiOn of these promises possible. This is to be done through a Con. structiOn Labor Advisory Commit. tee nominated by the Building Trades Department, and appointed by Wyatt.
 The committee will meet with the expediter from time to time, to advise him on labor policies and procedure
 Bankers Block Building
 While labor and Wyatt were work ing out plans to push home building the Department of Justice announced that it had convened a special grand jury at New York to investigate mon- opolstic practices by large financial interests which have denied thousands of New Workers adequate, reasonably priced housing.
 Three dozn large banks and insurance mortgage companies, which completely dominate the New York mortgage market, are accused of having conspired to in. crease interest rates, to eliminate competition for mortgages and to withhold loans for the construction of new apartments that might les.

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

BULLETIN: The banquet to be giuen by the State Building Trades Council for George JOsIyn sviH be open to the ladies. Last week we said it would be stag, which at the moment it was written, was correct. No sooner had the paper come out than the 'sladies auxiliary went in- to action. What a pressure group! :! Revolt fared from one end of the state to the other. The Committee met, reconsidered, rescinded and what have you, and now humbly apologies. Ladies, the building trades, as always, welcomes you with open arms!
 What interests us in the current wave of price increases is what's going to happen to the price of chinchilla fur coats, last advertised at $35,OOO.
 ON PAGE l we have an account of the fact that Tom Quinn of Waterbury has just been reelected to a fOur-year term as business agent of Carpenters Union. No. POO, which will bring him to 32 years on the job. What we want to know is this state record or no? ? Anyone having contrary informa- tiOn is urged to communicate with us. By the way, Tom celebrated his reelection by signing a swell tract for his local, .h~>:.Hs for $1.7O per hour for a 4T-hour week.
 The way to feel happy about BilbO's reelection is to remember you don't live in Mississippi, says the San Diego Labor Leader.
 That accomplished chiseIIer, Sewel Avery, president of Mont gOmery Ward, attempted last week to rock the US. government just as he has rocked his thousands of employees of decent wages.

Boris Shishkin, A. F. of L. econo- mist, recently went into the matter and here's what he discovered:
 Out of every dollar on the price tag, labor gets only 29.5 cents. Of the balance, materials take 45.7 cents, the builder gets l2.3 cents and about the same goes for the lot.
 Proportion Lowered
 In v major industries, the propor- tion of the labor cost. to the value of the product is considerably higher Shishkin reported.
 Furthermore, the price of the house is not the actual cost, he ex- plained. For example, on a 5000 house with 25-year mortgage, the banker gets his original $, ,OOO, plus $3,842 interest; insurance and taxes take $3,375 and maintenance and repairs, $2,5OO.
 This adds up to a total cost oi $l4,7l7 when the last payment is made on the mortgage. Thus, the part oi the dollar going to building labor drops to less than 10 cents on each dollar of total cost.

Patterson, Director of the ATS.
 ''This marked increase" MT. Patterson said, ''is evidence that contractors and unions are co. operating to train skilled workers required for the Veterans Emerg. ency Housing Program and other essential construction"

VALENTINE THOUGHT!

The human heart beats 100000 times a day, pumping more than 10000 quarts of blood, according to the En- cyclopaedia Britannica. The heart of an athlete during violent exercise can expel three times as much blood per minute as it expels during bodily rest, but to perform this work the heart it. self uses about one quarter of the blood it pumps. At such a time the heart uses almost as much oxygen as the entire body does when at rest.

Lots Of Jobs And
 Lots Of Jobless

WASHINGTON, D. C. = With acute shortages of skilled labor exist ing in practically all branches of the construction industry, builders sup plies, several types of machinery, food processing and for supervisory work CTS in the textile, apparel, leather and numerous other industries, the Ameri- can labor market today presents con- fused picture of acute shortages of skilled workers in many communities and an over-abundance of job appli- cants in other areas.
 This is the finding of Robert C. Goodwin, Director of the U. s. Elm ployment Service, U. s. Department of Labor, who predicts that the situ- ation will be even more contradictory and involved as supplies of building materials, machinery and other tools of industry become available.
