OAKS TO GET BREAK, RACE
 FOR pENNAMT
By BILL WEATHERSBY Associated Press Sports Writer)

An extra game TOT JWlI plll tonight gives the Oakland Acorns good odds to break the grip of the San Francisco Seals on the top rung in the Pacific Coast baseball league
 Although the Seals, holding to a half game margin for nearly two weeks, objected to tonight's replay Of a Portland-O tie, League rules allowed the game. Objections were based on the fact that the tie game was in Portland on the Acorns' recent Northwest road trip while the play-off was tackled on to a game at Oakland to make a doubleheader.
 Rc2lay Break
 The percentages make the replay break for Oakland in the tight pennant race, since the opposition Beavers are only one step out of ] he cellar. San Franciscos single ] game opponent tonight, Sacra- nento, tops the second division.
 While both the Seals and Acorns went down to defeat last night, he third-place Los Angeles An gels edged up to 1872 games be- lind the leaders on a double de- eat of the Seattle Rainiers, 5-3 and 5-2 Sacramento shaded the Seals 8-3, Portland turned back the Acorns 3-1, and San Diego's Padres beat off ninth-inning ral- y fer a 4-3 decision over the Holly wood Stars.
 Pitcher Missing
 filling first baseman Les Scar sella, Oakland's home run king of the circuit, almost had the League lead on the tip of his bat in a dramatic pinch hitting role, but his punch was missing. With the bags loaded and none out, the top slug ger of the League grounded out, with the only Acorn run scored on the play The winning pitcher, Roy Helser. went the distance and allowed seven hits.
 Guy Fletcher registered his ninth win of the campaign in the Sac ramento victory over San Fran cisco. His mates gave him a three run lead in the second on hits oy Joe Marty, Lilo Marcucci, AL K Kampouris and Bill Ramsey plus hit batsman, and the Seals never seriously threatened. Ramp ouris and Gene Corbett homered If losing tWirler Bill Werle
 Rainiors Lose Two
 The Los Angeles Angels came from behind to beat the Rainiers in both games. A five-run attack cn Ike Pearson in the fifth frame gave the Angels the first game Lloyd Christopher hit his 18th homer of the season in the final frame of the seven-inning night cap 1Cr the victory, which was pitcher Cliff Chambers 14th to nine losses. Chambers famed six, increasing his strikeout total to l60, the highest in the League. First Baseman Earl Torgeson drove in all of Seattle's runs in both games.
 
 Ed Boehm started the Padre at tack with home run in the third inning, and three more tallies in the fifth were enough to nose out Hollywood. San Diego ctemmed a ninth-stanza rally after the Stars had scored on Pinch Hitter Tony O'Brien's two-run homer.

 Construction Work

In two heavily attended meetings, held Monday afternoon and evening with President John White presiding, New Haven Firemen's Union, No. 8Z5, took action on number of i'm portant matters
 |. A full discussion was held on the complaint of the New Haven Building Trades Council against the practice of city department heads assigning municipal em- plOyees to do construction work.

State Pay Bill Is Inadequate
 Thorpe Declares
AFL Official Finds Compro- mise Lacking To Press
 For Increases

The compromise pay bill passed by the special session of the General As sembly last week Twill definitely prove to be inadequate" President George w. Thorpe of the State, County and Municipal Employees, Conn. Council 16, AFL, asserted today.
 Speaking for the councils insti- tutional policy committee, Thorpe said ''my organization remains thankful for small favors and large ones in proportion" He asserted the union would renew its cam- paign for higher wages for state employees ''with an eye to the l947 General Assembly,"
 The pay bill was approved to give increases of $24O a year to employees earning less than $1, ,o80, and $180 for those receiving more than that sum up to $6,OO0. There would be no in crease for employees receiving more than $6,000.
 Employes Would Be Thankful
 The union spokesman said the em- ployes would be "very thankful for some measure of relief from the pres ent dep1orably low state salaries paid by the state service" but he contended that the raise was inadequate com pared with neighboring states and the present cost of living index.
 The compromise in the passage of the measure was in the adminis- tratiOn of the funds. As it was adopted the governor and the Dem ocrat-controlled finance advisory committee will determine the de- tails of the raise.
 The early drafts of the legislation had provided for control by the gov ernor, the finance commissioner and the personnel department The unions statement said "the administrative handling of the pay increases will be watched with something more than mere academic interest"
 Public Should Know
 The union statement contended that "a1l the public will remember is that the state employees are to receive sal ary increases. The public should be informed that the increase in salaries is inadequate and that the salary in crease bill as passed was comprom- ise."

KillAll Measures Aimed At Labor. AFL Tells Senate
President Green Issues Ap- peal For Reason As
 Showdown Looms

WASHINGTON, D. C. In the midst of Senate debate on anti strike legislation, AFL President William Green tossed a final ap- peal for reason and restraint. He urged defeat of all pending bills to restrict labor's freedoms.
 Obviously referring to the coming election campaigns, MT. Green said in his letter to all Senators that en- actment of anti-union legislation would be greatly resented by labor ing men and women everywhere and all their friends"
 Senate To Act
 This warning came as the Senate prepared to act on the vicious Case Bill, which was adopted by the House of Representatives, and the mi1der substitute drafted by the Senate's edu- cation and Labor Committee.
 Anti-labor forces in the Senate were seeking to take advantage of the hate propaganda which reach ed its crest during the coal strike to push through stringent amend ments crippling the right to strike and severely regulating organized labor.
 All labor, including unions with perfect records of cooperation during the war, would be affected and pen alized by such legislation, MT. Green pointed out in his letter. He also called attention to the fact that organ izations like the National Association of Manufacturers, which has constant ly sought to destroy trade unions, are backing the new legislative assault on American workers rights.

AFL Supporting Miner Demands Unqualifiedly
William Green Backs Vel fare Fund Issue By
 All Means

WASHINCTON-(FP) - Presi- dent William Green said this week the AFL would back the United Mine Workers fight for welfare fund ''up to the limit, extending them financial, moral and political support or whatever they may ask.'
 Green spoke to newsmen after the daily session of the AFL executive council which was attended in the morning by UNIV Pres. John L. Lewis.
 A council statement said it had unanimously concluded that the UNIV welfare fund fight was thoroughly justified. In pressing its fight the UNIV ''is carrying out the expressed determination of its members to protect themselves against the inhuman conditions under which they are forced to york;" the council said.
 It asserted that the proposed health and welfare fund would "prove a great boon to the mining industry by pre- venting accidents, reducing occupation al disease, improving the morale of the workers and al1eviating human sui fering."
 In another statement the council demanded the immediate resigna- ton of Civilian Production Admin istratOr John ID. Small ''for his ir- responsible suggestion that Con- gress enact legislation outlawing strikes for six mOnths.''
