ABOUT THE STREET MARKERS

The drive to raise money to prov'oe s'ree'

ridicule The plan is fine. The Butte streets
should be marked the method of raising money
is rather childish The people don't mind giving
to the Red Cross the Polio Epidemic. the Cancer
Control or some other social project. but they
don't see the logic of paying taxes to the city on

marks about tribute and the application Of this

Strike Headlines
 Shove Jobless Off Front Page
100000 Unemployed Are Ignored As Press Plays
 Up Walkouts

WASHINGTON, Jan.. 7 = Big headlines in the Nations press tell of strikes.
 MAGIC
 By a magical feat of addition, talk ing all the actual strikers all the threatening strikers and all the DO tential strikers, 1t is possible for a newspaper to scare you into bull market with total strike unemploy- ment of 100000.
 There are no big headlines, how ever, to tell you about the men and the women who are tramping the streets in search of work or stand ing in line at employment registry offices.
 You need no magic mathematics to place the number of the involuntary jobless in excess of 100000. Two month-old figures of the Census Blu reau listed 100000 unemployed on Nov. 10, and every expert is predict ing that the December figure will be substantially" higher.
 COMPARISONS
 Conservatively, then, the figure of involuntary unemployment far ex- ceeds any actual or even potential fig ure of voluntary unemployment through strikes. Even the slightest improvising of figures would make the comparison greater.
 It is admitted that the census fig ures do not reflect the fact that apparently" 1,5OO,OOO returned veterans have not yet gotten back into the labor market. Some of them are ''taking it easy," some are looking for homes, and others are in process of rehabilitation.
 At the same time, there are com plaints that the census figures are neither accurate nor comprehensive. They are on the "sampling" basis and the complaint is that the sample is too small to reflect the terrific swings of population and unemploy- ment that have resulted from peace.

Unions Backing Vet Opposition

Labor Leaders Hit Housing Measure Calling For
 $1O,OOO Homes

Washington (LPA)-Labor is de- manding swift and drastic action to break the housing shortage, which threatens to get much worse before even the first steps are taken by na- tional and local groups to get large scale housing developments under way.
 Testifying on behalf of the Wag ner-E Ellender- Taft housing bill before Senate Committee, Omar Ketchum of the Veterans of Foreign Wars gave "indisputab1e evidence that many veterans are temporarily sheltered in municipal or county jails or camping out in public parks" More than million veterans and the1E families are already living doubled up", ac- cording to federal housing officials.
 A plan proposed by the administra- tion allocates 509o of all available ma terials to construction of homes sell ing for $10,000 and less or for apart ment buildings where the rent is be- tween $62.50 and $8000. Veterans would be given first chance at the 500,000 homes which, it is hoped, would be built under such a program.
 Labor representatives at the con- ference emphasized two points: first, that there had to be higher wages in the building materials industries and some guarantee of a regular income for building trades workers; second, some sort of government enforced quality controls must be set up to pro- tect buyers.
 No action can be taken until after the Congressional recess on the pro- posals advanced by Rep. Wright Pat man O., Tex to place price ceilings on new and old dwellings. President Truman has endorsed the proposal as an integral part of his program. and labor and consumer groups are in fa- vor of such ceilings.

Teachers Union
 Shows Big Gains

Chicago, H., Jan. 2-Secretary- Treasurer Irwin R. Kuenzli, at a meeting of the American Federation of Teachers GA. F. of L.) Executive Council in Gary, Indiana, reported that more new locals were establish ed during the first four months of the 1945-46 school year than during any comparable period in the history of the organization.
 The union had a net gain of 22OO members during the past year despite the fact that many teachers have left the profession in the face of increased costs of living. M. o. Hawbaker, field representative of the international union, reported that five locals had recently been organized in the state of Louisiana where teachers have been subjected for many years to political exploi- tatiOn.
 MT. Kuenzli pointed out that the membership of the A. F. of L. had multiplied five times in recent years because of deeds rather than words, because of actual accomplishments rather than nebulous resolutions"

Mercantile. Board
 Announces Raise

The Mercantile Wage Board, re- gently appointed by State Labor Commissioner John J. Egan to study wages paid in Connecticut mercantile establishments, has rec commended a new order covering minimum wage provisions and other changes in the present law. The Commissioner has approved and signed the new order, the ef- fective date to be set after a public hearing which will be held Jan. Is, at 2 PM. in the Hall of the House, State Capitol, Hartford.
 Highlights of the new mercantile order raise from $16 to $22 the mini mum weekly wage that mercantile places in the state must pay their full time employees, and calls for a mini mum of $ cents hourly to each part time worker, of less than 36 hours weekly. The former rate was Ia cents an hour.
 Full-Time Defined
 Speaking for Commissioner Egan, Deputy Commissioner William c. En- his said that the former SIG weekly minimum was for no definite num- Der of hours each week, while the new order stipulates that the full time employee means person employed or permitted to work 36-44 hours per week"
 In accordance with state law, the public hearing, to be held January Is, at the, State Capitol, Hartford, will allow interested persons and firms to make, discuss suggestions, or protest against the new regula- tions before the order becomes ef- fective, Commissioner Ennis said.
 The Commissioner also stated that although the results of the public hearing may affect the general order to some extent, the new minimum wage schedules probably will remain unchanged, at least for a trial pe- riod."
 All Retailers Affected
 Drug stores, department stores, grocery stores and all retail outlets in general in Connecticut will be among those affected by the wage ord CT, Commissioner Ennis said. He said that the order was prepared by the Mercantile Wage Board and signed by Commissioner Egan under provi- sions of Connecticut'S Minimum Wage Law.
