PONTOON ON BEACH SETS COAST
 CUAPO 0N SEARCH

KETCHIKAN- The Coast Guard attempted this week to trace the source of a PBY pontoon found on the shore of Forester Island. off the West Coast of Prince of Wales Island, carrying the serial number 252-259.
 Fishermen found the pontoon a. mong drift logs a few feet above the high water mark. A few pieces of plane wreckage were near the waters edge. The cutter Cyane brought the pontoon to Ketchikan.
 No such plane has ever been an- nounced lost in the immediate area and Naval Air Station sources at Seattle said it was doubtful if the serial number on the pontoon was sufficient evidence to identify the plane as such records are usually not kept

Upsets Portend Better House. Sabath
Ills. Liberal Sees Congress, Committee Improved If
 Trend Continues

WASHINGTON (FP)-Hope for a better Congress and a more pro- gressive House rules committee at the next session has been held out by Rep. Adolph J. Sabath CD, HI. ) in a speech inserted in the con- gressional record.
 As result of primary upsets and November voting, said the rules com mittee chairman, q look forward to a more progressive membership of the rules committee, which will enable us to act as the House rules intended, as clearing house for legislation, and not as bott1eneck and burying ground"
 Sabath said the House should have chance to vote on commit tee-approved bills, and decried the coalition of Republicans and south ern Democrats which kept the fair employment practices bill from the floor.
 As list of unfinished business he said he would insist the House act on at once in January, Sabath pro- posed:
 l. The Csc minimum wage bill.
 2. The permanent Fair Employ ment Practices Commission bill.
 3. The federal anti-polltax bill.
 4. The Wagner Ellender Taft general housing act.
 5. The Wagner-Murray-DingelI national health bill.
 6. The St. Lawrence waterways bill.
 7. A new and stronger price con- trol act.
 8. An amended seamen's bill of rights.
 9. A real investigation of the Ku Klux Klan and other fascist or ganizatiOns.
 If the American people send to Congress this fall progressive repre- sentatives with the good of the coun- try at heart who will back Pres. Tru- mans legislative program not only with talk but with actual votes," said Sabath, i've will pass these fair, just, humane and desirable laws"

State And City Councils Protest
 Interference"
Many Conn. Locals Forced To Stop Work In Pro- testing Acts Of Wage
 Adjustment Board
By NATHAN SHERMAN

The Wage Adjustment Board is dlsruptIng constructive relation ships between labor and manage ment, is interfering with normal collective bargaining, and by caus. ing friction between unions and employers, is interfering with the progress of the building trades in their attempt to relieve the housing shortage.
 This is the overwhelming consen- sus of opinion among the Connecticut building trades unions who this week undertook campaign to bring about the abolition of the Wage Adjustment Board. The basis of the campaign is a resolution unanimously adopted Mon day at a special emergency meeting of the New Haven Building Trades Council, which lists, point by point, the unnecessary difficulties and hard ships created by the Wage Adjust- ment Board. It was originally adopt- ed by Painters Union No. 186, and was presented to the Council by the Painters
 This resolution, according to Secretary-Treasurer James O'Kane, of the Connecticut State Building and Construction Trades Council. will be sent to all the Councils attiliates, with request that they adopt it and also send it to their in. ternatiOnaIs.
 This action by the New Haven and State Council came after a number of building trades locals throughout the state were forced to suspend work because of the rollback order of the Board, which forced wage rates back to June 30.
 Painters Outraged
 The most glaring instance of the interference of the Wage Board oc- cured in the case of the New Haven Painters, whose contracts, signed last April, provided that when controls were lifted, the painters rate auto mat1cally was to be increased from $1.50 to $1.65. On June 30, when the OPA went out of existence, the paint CTS invoked this clause, the employers raised no objection, and the increase went into effect.
 Due to the interference of the Wage Board with the contract pro- visions of the Painters, the master painters were forbidden to con- tinue to pay the increase after Au- gust 10. The painters held special meeting Saturady, Aug. 16, and overwhelmingly voted to refuse to work, as protest against the Boards decision. On Monday, a special committee of the local, con- sisting of Business Agent Saul Kreas, President William Fucker man, and Secretary William P. Enright, conferred with the em- plOyers. The committee reported back to the local, at a special meet ing held that afternoon, that the had pledged to work CO., Operatively with the union in an to have the Board rescind its order; that the increase of $I.2O per day which was the issue, would be held in escrow; and the em-

ANTI-LABOR

This notice has been served upon the COP by the New Haven Gen. tral Labor Council, which has con- sistently exposed Compton's hostil- ity to the working man. The deci- sion to take this action came at the last meeting of the Council upon motion by Harold V. Feinmark, general representative of the Amer ican Federation of State, County & Municipal EmrIoyes, who said that the common people of the Third District ''want no part of Comp tOn."
 As a result of the Councils action, Council Secretary John Redmond has sent the following letter to Harry E. Birney, chairman of the New Haven Republican Town Committee:
 LETTER TO COP
 Dear MT. Birney:
 "Ihe New Haven Central Labor Council, at its last regular meeting, unanimously went on record in oppo- sition to the announced candidacy of Ranulf Compton for election to the House of Representatives. I was in structed to point out to you and to the members of the Republican State Central Committee from this District that should the Republican Party see fit to nominate Mr. Compton, organ ized labor will put on such a cam paign against him that our successful efforts of two years ago will seem in significant by comparison
 ''We wish to call to your atten- ton the fact that MT. Compton has twice been condemned by the Con- necticut Federation of Labor for his anti-labOr, anti-cOmmon people attitude. His votes during his one

June 30 prices.
 Buyers strikes and demands for price rollbacks to June 3O-date the old OPA expired-were expect ed to mount in intensity through out the U. s. following the barrage of price boost orders let loose in the nations capital. While the US. Bureau of Labor Statistics was an- nouncing a 27 per cent increase in food prices since June 30, OPA hiked by 3 to l2 per cent the re- tail price of such household goods as kitchen stoves, washing ma- chimes, vacuum cleaners and radios. Total cost to consumers was esti- mated by OPA economists at more than $50 million a year.
 Tempers Rise With Prices
 The Emergency Committee to Save Price Control in Washington called on consumer and labor groups through out the country to back its plan for coordinated buyers strikes on selected commodities.
 Meat strikes were also held in New York with housewives reporting that at least 50 per cent of women shop pers had boycotted the butcher shops. Charges of black-marketeering leveled against the big packers by unions months ago were confirmed when OPA accused Armour, Cudahy, Swift and Wilson of forcing retailers to ac- cept tie-in sales of unwanted merchan- disc to get the items ttiey desired.
 Leo Prager, chief meat enforce ment attorney for the New York district OPA, said the forced tie-in sales by the Big Four ''were amaz- ingly rampant during the most acute stages of the meat shortage. :" The illegal sales put ''great pres sure on the ceiling prices of re- tailers during the period of meat price control," another OPA off cial said.

Sole 'Workingrnan' In Congress Dies


 Rochester, Minn. (LPA)-The one Congressman whose former occupa- ton was listed i'll the Congressional Directory as "workingman' died here last week. He was Rep. William ]. Gallagher O., Minn.) who, in 1944, defeated two-term Republican can didate even though his campaign fund consisted of $200 he earned by doing a little janitoring". The 71-year-old former Minneapolis street sweeper, whose monthly pension checks were for $25, had a perfect pro-labor re- cord in Congress. His vigorous de- fense of unionism whenever anti-1a- bor legislation was on the floor was credited with swaying many votes.

AFL Denounces Plan ToShare Its Seat In ILO
Constitution Would Be Vio- lated If AFL Representa-
 ton Is Changed

CHICAGO (LPA)-The AFL-Ex- ecutive Council has put President Truman's administration on notice, in a blistering statement, that it will refuse to share representation on the International Labor Organ ization with the CIO.
 Labor Secretary Lewis C. Schwel- 1enbach had proposed alternating the American workers delegate to the ELO between the AFL and CIO. In the past this representation has gone exclusively to the AFL.
 Violates ILO
 The AFL council insisted that if the CIO were given a voice, that would violate the constitution of the ILO which specifies that the workers delegate of each nation shall be chosen from the "most representative labor organization" in such country.
 ''This course has been scrupu- lously followed by the U. s. gov ernment ever since the ILO was formed," the council declared.
 To change that policy now, the council insisted, would be contrary to facts and merely for the purposes of appeasement," and would be vio- lation of U. s. commitments under the treaty under which the U. s. is a member of the ILO.
 Adhere to Charter
 "We officially call upon our govern ment to discharge its obligation to the ILO by adhering to the charter provi- sions through the designation of an AFL representative as the workers delegate at the coming conference of the ILO, (to be held in Montreal Sept. 19)," the council concluded.
 President William Green main tained further that there's no ques- ton but that the AFL, with over 100000 members, is the "most rep resentative" labor organization in this country.

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

DON'T let the word ''resolu- tion" frighten you. The resolution printed in this issue. calling for the abolition of the Wage Adjust ment Board, should be copied and sent off immediately.
 MAYBE American labor should take back seat to the strikers at a zoo in Vienna, Austria. When they got no response on their de- mands for higher pay they refused to feed the lions and tigers. After missing couple of dinnertimes, the beasts started to roar. The po- lice rushed in. The strikers threat ened to turn the tigers loose. The police went away. The zoo raised the wages. The strikers went back to work. The Hons and the tigers had a good, solid breakfast.
 WINNER of the August drawing held by the New Haven Labor Tenn pie Mortgage Liquidation Commit te is Barbers Union No. 88 of Meri- den. A full list of the winners this year will be published next week.
 CONGRESS passed 600 new laws before it ran away home last month. The 600 did not include the Wagner-Ellender-Taft housing bill which would have provided homes for millions of veterans and others hunting shelter. Construction of race tracks, night clubs and coun- try estates continues, and if hOme- less vets want the reason why Con- gress didn't pass the housing pro- gram it's very simple.
 Congress listened to the real es- tate lobby's Natl Association of Real Estate Boards, which turned the heat on by warning Congress- men in a letter that ''Very few of the 100000 favored persons chosen to live therein would vote against a party that gives them a roof at half price.
 The vets living in sheds and trailer camps and slums will want to know how they're destroying the party system by asking for decent place to live.

 BROOKLYN RIVER TUBE
 THE carry-back tax-relief racket has brought extra millions to the profit-swollen corporations and the wartime fim-fammers of the US. Treasury. Last week Sen. Glen Taylor O., Idaho) asked President Truman to back legislation that would give carry back tax credit to persons whose incomes fall below the level necessary for health and decent standard of living. The only question about this legislation is whether its chances of being passed by Congress are greater than its prospects of being ap- proved by the Natl Association of Manufacturers, the Chamber of Commerce, US. Steel, and General Motors. s
