The scarcity of native citrus fruits and of olive oil is partly explained by the fact that 30 percent of the country's production is earmarked for export, but every Spaniard Is convinced that the government practice of fixing prices at 50 per- cent below production cost has done the most damage.
 Wives of city workers make ex- cursionS to the neighboring country districts and try to pick up a few kilos of potatoes. rice, flour, butter and oil for which they pay the farmer double the taxed price and in turn sell the goods at a good profit in the city. Housewives doing their marketing in the city are acc customed to being accosted by men and women offering all sorts of produce, hidden away in private houses.
 Everyone who has relatives in the country Is fairly well off. But those whose occupations do not allow them to make forays into the coun- tryside are the unfortunate ones.

 2. This pay increase is the re- suit of a 1 F year program, which consisted of getting 10000 peti- tions, 1000 of which were not from state employees. but were from taxpayers, sent to the governor as well as to arouse public opinion to the fact that the State En- pIoyees are Slaves in Economic Bondage
 3. During the Special Session of Legislature six Lobbyists were in there punching with telling blows on your behalf. Those who couldn't be there missed a great clean fight.
 These six men were your repre- sentatives, and were led by Col. A. E. Gary Civil Service Counsel for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees who came here from Madison, Wisconsin,, George w. Thorpe Qn- ternational Vice President, and President of Council 16, Harold Strauch Attorney for Council 16), Harold V. Feinmark Former Sec.- Treas. of Conn. Fed. of Labor, now General Representative of Council 16), Timothy M. Collins President of the Conn. Fed of Labor), and Joseph M. Rourke (Sec. of Conn. Fed. of Labor). These men did a very commendable job for you, showing that the Spirit of The La bar Movement, through the efforts of such distinguished men, has started you on the road to a decent living, as the Rights of Man should provide.

He cited Boris ShlShkln, ec0nOm-< ist and secretary of the A. F. of L. Housing Committee, as authority for the statement that building la bor represents only 29.5 per cent of the cost of house.
 "On a $5,OOO house." said MT. Rourke, "an A. F. of L. survey had shown that $2,285 is paid for ma terialS, $615 for contractors, $625 for the land and $1,475 for the building labor"
 Wage rates in the building trades" continued the A. F. of l.. leader, 'since the war have been raised, at the minimum, 30 per cent to meet in part the rise in the cost of living. Many applications to bring the rates up to 30 per cent, however, are still pending before the governments Wage Adjustment Board, which has maintained ab- solute control over the wages of building tcadesmen.
 Based or the foregoing figures building labor cost has in- creased about $500, yet the buyer today is asked to pay 5000 to $10,- 900 for the pre-war $5,00O house. Clearly, this large difference in price is not labor's fault. The high prices of land, of building materials and the profits real estate Specula- tors are able to exact because of the scarcity of housing are the real reasons for the existing condi- tion which deprives veterans and others of badly needed housing"
 MT. Rourke further declared that authoritative sources indicate that even if the wages of workers in the building trades were cut 30 per cent the reduction in price of new ly erected houses would be only 8 to 10 per cent.
 He also attacked another state ment made at this convention by Expediter Monson that labor un- ions were not putting on as many apprentices as they should, There are" said MT. Rourke, lover 16,O00 joint employer-union apprentice ship committees in the country. Where formerly the ratio of appren- tices to journeymen was 1 to 10, in many communities it is now 1 to 3. The building trades unions in Con- necticut,' he added, have been commended highly for their CO., operation with the Labor Depart ment's apprenticeship training pro-

gram. The ratio of apprentices to journeymen have been steadily in- creased so that in many trades there is an apprentice to every four skilled craftsmen"
 Charging that a high-powered lobby maintained by the profit swollen mortgage bankers and real estate interests" had prevented the passage by Congress of the Wagner Ellender-Taft bill, MT. Rourke said, 'their baneful influence is the cause of perhaps the biggest bottleneck in housing"
