E. E. Co. Launches First
 Commercial Vessel Since l03I

The 93 foot trawler, Mabel Mae, launched at the E. B. Go. yards on Monday afternoon, July 18th. at 12:1O was the first commercial ves- sel to be launched there since 1881.
 With storm clouds hanging low over head a goodly crowd gathered to watch Mrs. Louise Jacobsen, wife of Capt. Jacobsen of New Bedford. Mass, christen the ship Mabel Mae. With Mrs. Jacobsen as co-sponSor was Mrs Mabel LieIbl
 All the details of the launching went smoothly from the initial work to the burning of the brass plates just before the gallant little fishing boat slid quickly down the ways into the welcoming Thames.
 The Mabel Mae was built for Capt. Jacobsen and John Abrams of New Bedford. Their next trawl- CT, Carol June will slide down the ways with fanfare on or about August 18th. There are still two other trawlers under construction for the Fishery Products Ltd, of St. John, N. B.
 AS highlight of the program, Robert Chappell, Jr.. gave brief and moving speech on the launch ings that had taken place since the E. B. ceased commercial building back in 1881. 1O2 of these ships launched were the silent sentinels of the sea that helped to wreck our enemies shipping and bring an early end to the war.
 MT. Chappell commended the workmanship that had gone into not only the government boats but the commercial ships as well.
 Guests from New Bedford, Massa- chusetts, who attended this stirring event were: MT. and Mrs. Louis Shurtleff; MT. and Mrs. Anderson. MT. and Mrs. Meade; Edward L.

crew under the leadership of Charlie Brooks Qate of the E. B. Co), carried on efficiently.
 The first night merely the ap- proved 5000 showed up to see the show. The night was lowery over head and no one wanted a Wetting. However, the second and last night, Thursday, July 11th, such huge crowd turned out that it is esti- mated that over 1000 were turned away!
 The scenery, which agave a real iStic background to every set was executed under the expert guid- ance of G. Standish Beebe of the Electric Boat Company.
 Active on the arrangement com mittee was Nicola Magro, from the New London Central Labor Union, and director of the Whaling Scene, VI, was Rowland Bishop, financial secretary of the Boilermakers' L. 614. These two men as did hun dredS of other union men and wom- en, gave hours of their spare time to help make New London's 30Oth Birthday one of the outstanding events of Connecticut's 1946 Cal endar Year.
 On the second night of the Page ant, Governor Raymond Baldwin enjoyed the show in company with Major Ralph Powers of New Lon- don, a member of his staff, and Mayor James May of New London.
 Elsie Ferguson, as Mrs. New Lon- don, Judson Laire as MT. New London, and Robert Cullen, as Jun for, gave a ''warm family touch" background to the weaving of a plot that covered 300 years of pro- gresS of New London and surround ing towns.
 The New London Tapestry, writ ten by Courtney Abbott, and di- rected and co-ordinated by Byron Hatfield and his staff, can be rated as huge success! The scenery and Pylons designed for the pro- duct1on by Alb:n K. Kayrukstis will long remain delightful mem- ory.
 Editors note: More pictures of the Tapestry will appear in our Labor Day edition with a special article on the show by that clever local historian, Mrs. Mary V. Nor gan of Noank.

Shooting Victims
 Threatened Again

PEORIA, In.-(FP)-Two of the three pickets who were wound ed here recently by strikebreakers of the Toledo Peoria & Western Railroad have received anonymous telephone calls which threatened to "finish the job right this time. ''
 The two men, who were recently released from the hospital, have been put in hiding by union officials, who told Federated Press exclusively of the calls.
 Irwin Paschon, one of two men murdered by company thugs on Feb. 6, received similar call day before he was killed. From the way he was singled out during the at- tack, union leaders believe the guards had orders to carry out the threat. Police have not confiscated guns still held by scabs.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.-(FP)- The lawyer who drew up General Electric's 22-page petition for an injunction to outlaw mass picket ing at its Bridgeport works is in hot water with local Republicans, who have been campaigning for labor support in the coming cleo tions.
 On the spot is J. Kenneth Bradley, Republican national committeeman and party leader in Fairfield county When news leaked out that it was Bradley who prepared the legal block buster against striking United Elec- trical Radio & Machine Workers members, the county Republican club executive committee demanded his res ignation as national committeeman for the good of the party"
 Party Head a Striker
 The COP organization is headed by James P. Clancy, who is one of the LIE workers striking against GE. The COP club has about 5000 members in the county.
 A resolution adopted by the COP local executive committee charged that Bradley ''by repre- senting the CE in this injunction against the union is playing into the hands of all enemies of the Re- publican party"

Iowa Telephone Manager Counters Union Request

CASCADE, Ia.-(FP)-The man who bit the dog will please step out of the light just little to make room for a real character in the news.
 He is the manager of the Iowa Tel ephone & Telegraph Co. here. His identity is a secret otherwise. tor what he did might prove embarrassing in business circles where his brand of honesty is subordinated to zeal tor profits.
 Telephone operators, represented by Virginia Cigrand of Cascade and Business Man. Edwin A. Meyers of Local B-2o3, Intl Bro. of Electrical Workers (AFL), had asked for a 2Oqo wage increase. The manager asked for a few minutes to examine his books and the union representa- lives wondered if they had General Motors situation on their hands.
 Then the manager came out with some figures on a sheet of paper. "Would this do?" he asked.
 The union representatives looked and gasped. In response to the orlgl- nal demand of 20%o raises, the mana ger had worked out a counter pro posa1 for 219o. The company's offer was accepted.

Nation Now Facing Mass Unemployment
Over Million Veterans Collecting Jobless Pay-Ony 3 Cities Have Labor Shortage Government Agencies
 Paint Dismal Picture For Future

WASHINCTON-UPA) = The nation came face to face this week with the stark fact that mass un- employment is increasing steadily At almost the same time that Con. gress agreed on a ''full employ. ment" bill that does everything but provide or even assure full em. ployment, other government agen. cies were reporting that jObless- ness, as labor leaders had predict ed, was growing in every section of the country.
 There were these facts:
 l-More than 100000 vet erans are now receiving unemploy. ment benefits tOtaling $2O, ,825, 767 a week.
 2-Only three cities in the na- tiOn have more jobs than jOb- hunters: Washington, ID. C., Pc oria, Ill.,, and Richmond, Va.
 3-A new high in unemploy- ment insurance claims was hit with a total of 2,l5O,OOO.
 4-The number of major labor market areas reporting a large volume of unemployment increased from 18 to 31 in the month of January.
 3l AREAS
 The 31 areas, according to the US. Employment Service, are cities with severe unemployment and include a population of 15,3OO,OOO. The USES added that its reports did not include the number of workers involved di- rectly in labor management disputes in any of the areas.
 Robert C. Goodwin, USES direc- tor, said, s'The situation is attrib- utable to the usual seasonal unem- ployment in addition to the recent heavy influx of returning veterans and to a slowing of recOnversion.' Large volumes of unemployment were found in Minneapolis-St. Paul and Kansas City. In the case of the Twin Cities, employment dropped in metal, chemical and rubber and other industries, while in Kansas

State Control Of USESWOuldMean More Patronage
Pork : Barrel Possibilities Now Seen As Reason For
 Business Lobby

WASHINGTON (LPA)-One of the real but hidden motives of the big business lobby that has repeatedly attempted to browbeat Congress into returning the U. s. Employment serv- ice to the various states was disclosed
 Labor leaders in Congressional testimony asserted that business in- terests and politicians wanted the 27,OOO USES offices under their control because of its pOrk-barreI possibilities and also because of the feat that continued federal opera tiOn might lead to higher iobIess benefits.
 Labor's charges were substantiated when the U. s. Chamber of Commerce admitted in a report that delay in turning the service back to the states may be utilized to establish a uni form national system of unernploy- ment insurance" The Chamber as- sailed the Ramspeck bill which fol- lows President Truman's request that Federal operation be continued at least until July, 1o47.

Nathan Sherman, Editor The Union Times:


 In the publication of the Union Times, February 9, I noted the article, Here's Why We Can't Get Butter and the Answer" It would be my opinion that in many cases you state facts but in the interpreting of these facts you have grievously erred.
 First, it is well to remember the production of milk in this country, therefore butterfat, has for several years been of record proportions. However, there has been an increase ln the consumption of fluid milk of approximately 25 per cent. The tre- mendous demands of the U. s. Army, Q.M.C., for cheese took large sup plies of the milk production and again the production of whole milk dried took further quantities and tremen- deus amounts of milk allocated to the production of evaporated and con- denSed milk left little butterfat for the production of butter, and it is well to remember that butter manufactur- CTS of necessity pay the lowest price tor butterfat; therefore, these manu- lecturers are at the mercy of any of the high-priced users.
 Point of Fairness
 You state that the big milk com panies would lap up eagerly any in crease in the price of butter. The big milk companies would not be affected but to a minute degree by any such increase in the price of butter with regard to their milk supply, and again you state at the end of your article that it would be well for consumers to write Secretary Anderson and President Truman that they will not stand for any increase in the price of butter. Now this brings up the point of fairness.
 Economics of Milk
 The legal standard for butterfat contained in butter is that it shall contain not less than 80 percent of butterfat. Grade A milk retails for l7c per quart and contains percent of butterfat; therefore, it would be plain that it would take ten quarts of such milk to make one pound of legal butter, or at the rate of $1.70 per pound for the butterfat contained in that milk sufficient to manufacture a pound of butter. The ceiling price on butter, packed in quarters is 57 cents per pound. Since it would take ten quarts of milk to make this pound of butter, the milk containing percent butterfat, it is patent that when person buys pound of butter at this ceiling price, they are buying the val

City declines in the aircraft and ordnance industries were coupled with large number of returning veterans. Two other leading areas that recorded growing joblessnes were Trenton, N. J., and the Sal BernardinO-Riverside, Cal. area.
 There were increases in compensa- ble unemployment claims of 5000 in New York and of 27,0OO in Oregon in the single week ending Jan. 26, le4o. Initial claims totaled 1000, the largest number since the first week ended in September. The largest in crease was in Pennsylvania where the number jumped from 27,OOO to 68,- 0OO. The Philadelphia USES reported jobs available decreased 43%o during
 January, while applications for jobs increased 249o during the month.

 The giant rally, which drew its audi ence from radius of 100 miles, was held in the state armory, same place where 61 state police have been bar racked since 13 railroad unions struck the TP&W line last Oct. 1.
 Assembly Expanded
 Wheels for sponsoring the demon stration were set in motion at the reg ular meeting of the Peoria Trades & Labor Assembly which was expanded to include some 800 representatives oi all AFL, CIO and railroad unions in the area. It was the first time in Peoria's history that all labor groups met under the same roof. A CIO pro- posal that a citywide work stoppage be held was discarded in favor of the Sunday memorial service.
 Attending the session and speak ing for their various groups were AFL Rep. Henry, A. Mcfarland ; Garland Brown, chairman of the brotherhoods' strike committee; ; Vice Pres. w. C. Keiser of the Bro. of Locomotive Bremen & Engine men (unafiliated); Rep. John Mayor of Dist. so, United Mine Workers (AFL); Pres. Bruce Brown of Dist. 3, United Farm Equipment X Metal Wor k c r s (CIO); William Hartwig of the Bloomington AFL; Thomas Bat tecks of the Pekin AFL and various local assembly delegates.
 Keiser, who reviewed the back ground of the TP&W strike, said of McNear: "He's labor-hater and he's crazy, just plain crazy"
 First Violators
 The railroad head has the record of being the first man to defy gov ernment wage order in 1o42, leading to government seizure of his connect ing link road that runs between Efnor, Ind, and Peoria. During ODT oper- ation of the road about $8 million was banked for McNear, but is now i'm pounded.
 Feeling after the killings and wounding of three other pickets by McNear's gunmen has run high in three counties. Resolutions of pro- test have poured onto the desks of important government officials from President Truman on down.
 Coupled with the motion to hold memorial services was a plan for rais- ing fund for the families of the murdered men, both of whom leave children, and for hiring the best legal talent to put McNear where he be- longs"

OPA Fixes Prices
 On Kitchen Ranges

New gas and electric cooking stoves, which now are beginning to reach retail stores, have been placed under dollar-and-cent ceilings at 1942 levels by the Office of Price Admins tration.
 With each electric stove, a one year guarantee of satisfactory per formance must be given. Such guar antees also were given with each cleo tric stove sold before the war, OPA said. About 80 per cent of all gas and electric stoves expected on the market this year have been given prices, OPA said. As soon as the re- malning companies make their appli- cations, they will be given dollar-and- cent ceilings.

uable part of ten quarts of milk al all approximate price of .057 per quart.
 In other words, there is an unequit- able price differential that should be adjusted, and it would seem fair and reasonable and sound economically that butter should be advanced some where between 7c and He per pound so that in the Western areas where butter is manufactured, more butter fat would flow to the creameries pro- ducing butter, and while this would not entirely relieve the situation al this time, it would certainly help.
 Holding the Line''
 From all this it seems patent that rather than to fight for holding the line" on butter, which is being sold at a comparatively very low price, any arguments the public should have would be to hold the line on milk but allow the price of butter to rise to the point that would be fair. In nor nal times the average consumption of butter in the United States is r pounds per person per year and an in- crease of from 7c to 10c per pound, and taking the maximum, would mean the expenditure of $1.70 per year. approximately 12c per day for the amount of butter consumed in three meals in one day, which would be far less than the price of one cigarette.
