This would be done by extending to 45,OOO,OOO salary and wage earners the edu- cational facilities and resources which, due to harsh necessity, they left in order to make living.
 The bill, which has been referred to the House Labor Committee, in cluding among its sponsors Mrs. Mary Norton O., ND committee chair man, Rep. Estes Kefauver O., Tenn. ) Helen Gahagan Douglas O., Calf. |, Henry M. Jackson O., Wash.), Will liam A. Rowan O., Ill.).

State And City Building Trades Councils Again
 Are Successful

West Haven was added this week to the long list of Connecticut cities and towns which have adopted legis- lation which provides that the pre- vailing wage be paid on all public construction, remodeling, and repair work. The drive for this campaign was initiated by the Conn. State Building and Construction Trades Council, which urged all afiliates to work for the passage of the model law, distributed by the Council.

 This is especially true in the case of meats, cheese, and dairy prod ucts - the commodities which will be considered by the DecOntrOI Board in the next few days. It is felt that if enough evidence can be put before the board when it first meets, that prices have risen by more than the amount of any subsidy which might have been re- moved, decisions to remove ceilings entirely may be made more slow ly than in the past

Tell OPA Labor Office About New Price Hikes
Labor Urged To Inform Bureau Of Unwarranted
 Increases

WASHINGTON (LPA) Labor will play new part in price control when the price decontrol board, being set up under the new price control law, goes into action. For the first time, the price control law provides formally for the right of labor to be heard, through the Labor Policy Com mittee, before the decision to remove price ceilings from a commodity is made by price control agency.
 Before the passage of the pres- ent price control law, and its clear instructions to OPA to get out of the price control business as fast as possible, labor could protest to OPA when a decontrOl order was being considered, but their was no provision in the law to make OPA take that protest in account The new law provides that both OPA's Consumer Advisor Committee and the Labor Policy Committee be given chance to testify before the board.
 Report Facts
 While labor observers of OPA's past record have very little faith in the ability or the willingness of the agency to keep ceilings on, labor or ganizations are being urged to report

Four Pairs Of Shoes
Per Year Predicted

Four pairs of shoes in 1946 for
every man, woman and child in the
United States!
That was the prediction of Max
we'll Field, executive vice president of
the New England Shoe and Leather
Association, whose members produce
a very sizeable proportion of the ma
lion's footwear.
Basing his estimate on the 200
odd new shoe factories that Eaye
sprung up in the months since VI
Day, together with expansion of ex-
isting plants, Field said the output
this year would total 50,OOO,OOO
pairs of all types of footwear.
THAT" he said, compares with
an estimated 490,O0O,000 pairs in
1915 and the peak outpu of 49S,O0O,-
900 pairs in 1941."
YES we have critical shortages in
some supplies, he added, "and the
steel strike held us back, but ! still
am sure that we will top tie 500
million mark this year."
