New Famine Of. Meat Forecast;
 Shoes Going Up!.
Butter, Flour, Meat And Bakery Products To Show.
 Price Increase

The cost of living roller coaster is due to take off this week on a new leap powered by oncoming higher costs of food.
 This added shock to the pock- etbooks of price-harried consum- CTS comes just as food costs had leveled off following the decon- trol-inspired rush to al1-time rec ord levels. It spells out in capital letters that there will be no real break for some time from the present high cost of kitchen staples.
 Meat To Be Short
 At the same time there appeared new signs of the meat shortage forecast as the result of the dump ing of cattle on the market follow ing removal of ceilings. Already livestock marketing are slackening off.
 Among the foods earmarked for higher price tags in the stores, this week as the result of the new upsurge are meats, butter, flour and bakery products.
 The wholesale rises in the cost of meat started last Wednesday and will be reflected this week at the retail counters. Beef. pork and lamb have all gone up again. Hog prices jumped $2 to $4 per 100 pounds on Friday.
 Butter Going Up
 Butter has gone up approximately 5 cents pound at wholesale since last "Wednesday. The price of flour all ready has advanced Is cents per 100 pounds in the wholesale market this week, with further rises expected
 Fats and oils are extremely scarce The Bureau of Agricultural Econom- ics expects these prices to march to still higher levels.
 Little chance is seen for a cut in the present milk price until January at least.
 Worst blow to consumers prOb- ably is the expectation of another meat shortage in mid-Winter. Mar ket observers consider the forth coming scarcity inevitable because of the stampede to the cattle mar ket last month, with many slaught- cred at 400 and 800 pounds that would normally not have been mar keted until they were 800 to 1000.
 Federa1ly inspected slaughter of cattle dropped from 288,000 head the week ending Oct. 26 to 256OOO the week of Nov. 2, substantially below the same week last year when 271,- GOO went to market. Even the heavy run of hogs has been falling off. In New York, the local kill of steers declined from 13,000 head the week ending Oct. % to 5000 last week, and is expected to slide further this week.
 Clothing
 Some price increases are also an- ticipated as a result from decontrol of clothing items, although falling off of consumer demand for apparel may prevent a general advance Increased prices for shoes already have been announced by Endicott-J Johnson and several leading manufacturers as the result of increases in the hide price to B cents a pound from the former ceiling of 151z cents. International Shoe Co, one of the largest produc- CTS has also announced increases av- eraging IS per cent and up to 25 per- cent on some of its models.

 Two guests attended the execu tive board meeting. Joseph M Tone, unsuccessful candidate fol United States Senator, appeared be fore the board briefly, and thanked the building trades for all they had done for him. Thomas Yoczik newly appointed chief of appren tice training for the state of Con necticut also appeared, and thanked the Council and its affiliated locals for past cooperation with the Conn State Apprenticeship Council, and for the information submitted al the Councils request.
 Apprenticeship
 A letter was also read from Voc. zik, who was formerly vice-presi. dent of the state building trades council, in which he said:
 Tt is the desire of the State Ap- premiership Council to activate as soon as possible, the work of the locaI area committees. We feel that the committees must realize their respon- sibility as outlined in meeting held May 8, 1o46, with yourself (Secretary James O'Kane) and Michael Barry (president), representing the Conn State Building and Construction Trades Council. Unless definite action is shown by the memberships of the local Joint Apprenticeship Councils approval of applications will be han dled in a different manner. I feel cer- tain that all local Joint Apprentice ship Councils are interested in doing a complete job, and we will appreci- ate your efforts in obtaining a roster of their membership"
 Barry Reports
 President Barry gave fine re. port on the activities in Hartford in connection with the State Build ing Trades yearbook. Not only are the local unions soliciting adver tisement they are buying sizable ads themselves.
 The Board voted to ask Prentice White, administrator of the State Housing Authority, for copy of the tentative building code for Connecti- cut. It was also voted to instruct Secretary O'Kane to appeal to all locals for funds to carry on the ac- tivities of the Council until the year book is published.
 Quarterly Meeting
 The next meeting of the Council will be quarterly meeting, to be held at the New Haven Labor Temple or Wednesday, December 4 at 10 AM All affiliates are urged to have their delegates present, as there will be much business of importance. Plans will also be made for the annual con- vention in January.

TA0A A~C0A uA RO5C
 Thousands of our members own their homes, and are unaware that there is conspiracy against ls1em. Your literature refers to a move towards sOcializatiOn of property and toward ''tOtalitarian govern ment." True, there is great short age of homes at the present time, but we know of no move to social ize property. t
 We cannot help but wonder what your real purpose IS when you make such irresponsible statements. Is it not true that you are referring to lOw-cOst public housing, which is intended to clear slum areas, and give decent housing to families whose income is so low that they cannot afford to pay rents of $40 to 800 month, even if such rents were available.
 Bi-Partisan Bill
 Why don't you tell the people of New Haven that you are fighting the bipartisan Wagner Ellender Taft Housing Bill, and that your literature describes this humane measure as meaning millions of socialized bar racks will be built instead of homes" Are the Elm Haven, Quinnipiac, and Farnam Housing projects "socia1ized barracks? ?" Can private enterprise af- ford to build such projects? Is it not true that the Wagner-Ellender- Taft bill gives private enterprise every op- portunity to meet the housing needs of community? Moreover, are you prepared to tell the people of New Haven that your members will build good homes for people with low in comes which will rent for $20 and $50 a month?
 Objectives Listed
 We think you should be frank and announce that you have two basic objectives:
 l. You are opposed to govern mental help in order that our slums may be eliminated, and decent housing provided all sections of the population.
 2. You are opposed to rent con- trols, and want them eliminated.
 5O% Jump Seen
 On the issue of rent control, may we remind you that official govern ment figures show that landlords, qVith rent controls, are now making from 25@o to 439o more than they did in 1889. It is our considered opinion that
 
 expect increases of 5O%o in renting costs. We we'll remember that after World War I, when there were no rent controls, and the housing short age was much less acute then it is now, rents increased by 57@o, at a time when this country was in the midst of an economic depression. In fairness to our homeless vet erans and to those who, even with rent controls, are finding it hard to make both ends meet, you should state your true aims: elimi- nation of rent control, and OppOsi- ton to slum clearance. There is no magic in the title 'SHOme and Owners Foundation" You are lobbying against the interests of the majority of the people, and should be willing to appear before the public in that capacity.
 In the meantime, we wish to as- sure you that we will oppose your objectives with the united strength of all working people, regardless of the fact that they own their homes or pay rent.

ghtened legislators who forget that they elected

by continuous pressure and moral force of the dire
sequences to them this piece of legislation is not
acted We must phone them, drop them line, camp
their doorseps necessary, that their obtuse
minds will react favorably to the demands of outraged
public No individuals can call themselves true sons or
daughters of Massachusetts who fail to do their full duty
in this direction.
Especially does this apply to those of who repre-
sent minority groups. Too long have suffered
from the lack of progressive legislation in this State The
failure of the gentlemen Beacon Hill to improve and
enlarge the compensation of injured workngmen under
the Workmen's Compensation law is one example. The
failure to reclasfy the positions held by civil service
ployees and pay them justly earned living wage is
other Its misery allowance per capita to the cities for
the education of the school child of unfavor
