State Federation
 Seeks Truman 'sVetO

Signed by President Timothy M. Collins and Secretary Treasurer Jo- seph M. Rourke, the following tele- gram was sent Tuesday by the Conn Federation of Labor to President Tru- man:
 Conn. Federation of Labor appeals to you to veto Case bill. In ignoring your recommendation for careful study during the next six months of 1egis- lation intended to lessen industrial strife, Congress has produced vicious hodge -podge of so-called labor legis- lation that is really anti-labor in char acter and definitely against the public interest. It is significant that no hear ings were held in the house on HR 4o08 and that Senate Education and Labor Committee condemned most of the proposals contained in the bill
 Moreover Secretary of Labor Louis Schwellenback, and NL.R.B. Chair man, Paul Herzog testified to harm ful effects of this legislation. By veto- ing the Case Bill you will gain the gratitude of the overwhelming ma jority of people who oppose legis1a- ton conceived in hate and designed to place labor at the mercy of reaction ary forces.
 Signed:
 Timothy M. Collins, President
 Joseph Rourke, Sec Treasurer

TrumanP Proposal Branded Fascist By AFL'sCreen
Case Bill Denounced As 'Vengeful, Hysterical
 Legislation

WASHINGTON CPD - AFL Pres. William Green branded Pres. Truman's emergency anti-labor bill unacceptable and cautioned Con- gress and the President to ''consid- CT carefully before going ahead with this program. If it is put into effect, fascism may grip America unawares."
 Green also denounced the Case bill as passed by the House and amended by the Senate as "the worst type of vengeful and hysterical legislation. He predicted that its enactment would mean that "labor relations throughout American industry will be disrupted. It constitutes an open invitation to hostile employers to go out and de- stroy trade unions with damage suits. The workers of America will never willingly accept such a one-sided law"
 ''The AFL cautions Congress and the President to take time out to consider carefully before going ahead with this program. If it is put into effect, fascism may grip America unawares."

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

MAYBE WITH the idea that COngressmen haven't read the reams of mail they've received de- manding continuation of the price control act, plane circled over the Capitol one day last week and slowly and methodically wrote out across the sky: SAVE PRICE CON- TROL.
 sYou know," said one pro-Iabor senator, ''that writing is just about as high as prices are going to go unless WIS pass strong OPA bill. :"
 Americans will always fight for freedom and justice. Labor unions will always represent this American spirit in action. The American standard of living will be pre- served, but not with propaganda. !"
 These were the closing remarks of GEORGE w. THORPE, prest dent of Conn. Council No. 16, Am. Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, at the meet ing Tuesday of the State Council in Norwich, and were part of an effective answer to anti-uniOn propaganda that has been flooding the daily newspapers of late.

Case Anti-Strike

All the President has to do is sign this bill and it becomes law to hamstring labor. However, he is reportedly dissatisfied with it, since it isn't vicious enough for him, and while he is waiting to see what the House will do with the Senate-returned Slave Labor Bill. the House is waiting to see what he will do with the Case Bill before it acts on the Slave Labor Bill.
 It is possible he may veto it, rest ing all his hopes for anti-labor laws on a Senate-House conference regard ing his bill.
 The following amendments were added to the Case bill by the Sen ate:
 Byrd amendment outlawing payment by employers of funds to be used for health and welfare purposes as recently granted the AFL United Mine Workers-pen- aIty $1O,OOO fine, 6 months in prison.
 2-Compulsory cooling-off pe- riOd of 60 days between contract conferences and strike action penalty, loss of Wagner act priv iIeges. (Sen. Hart, for; Sen. Me- Mahon, against.)
 3-Creation of fact-fnding boards. (Hart and McMahon, both fOr.)

Thorpe Gets Truth
 About Rochester

An official notice received by George w. Thorpe, president of Conn. Council No. 16, Am. Fedora ton of State, County, and Municipal Employees confirms what many mem bers of organized labor suspected that the members of his international in Rochester, N. Y., did not strike against the city there.
 Thorpe, who is an International Vice President of the organization, has been informed by General Repre- sentative Adrian Mitten that the press deliberately misrepresented the issues in the Rochester situation. The em- ployees of No. 489, who work in the Public Works Department, were ac- tually locked out by the city manager. It was to correct this situation that the A.F.L. and C.IO unions in Rochester those in private employ ment, who staged a sympathy strike. This is another example of how anti labor propaganda is used to smear organized labor.

Winchell Misses Scoop On Strike. Against Sponsor
Ignores AFL Telegrams Regarding Walkout At
 Coats Jergens Plant

LOS ANGELES CPD Radio Commentator Walter WincheII loves labor and he loves scoops but when an AFL teamsters local went on strike against his sponsor, the Jergens Co.,, not a word came from the man who boasts he flights for the workingman when he's right"
 Stopping at Ho11ywood's Beverly Wiltshire Hotel, Winche11 admitted to one inquiring reporter that he was scooped on the strike against his spon- sor. He did not mention that for the IA weeks since the strike began he had refused to answer te1egrams, phone calls and letters, from the Southern California Teamster.
 Refused for 3 Years
 The walkout at Jergens Burbank plant Feb. IS by members of Local 5o8, Intl. Bro. of, Teamsters, was pre- ceded by three years of management refusal to abide by government orders calling for union recognition and pay increases.
 The Western Conference of Teamsters has voted an active boy colt of the company's lotions,

The biggest general strike since the San Francisco stOppage of 1885, it was the answer of a newly united labor movement to a con- spiracy of the Republican machine and big business bosses of this city to wreck labor and keep Rochester on Openshop stronghold.
 The conspiracy came out in the open May Is when City Mgr. Louis B. suddenly abolished $50 jobs in the Dept of Public Works shortly after a number of city workers had met to organize in the American Federation of State County & Muni- cipal Employees (AFL). The city ad- ministration dances to the tune of Thomas E. Broderick, acknowledged political boss of Rochester and mem Der of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey'S state Republican machine.
 But the real rulers of ROches- ter. the men who boss BrOderick, are a Committee of 25 made up of big industrialists who until recent Iy had been fairly successful in keeping this city an Openshop dO- main. Its leaders are Pres. Herbert E. Eisenhart and Vice Pres. Carl HaIlauer of Bausch & LOmb Opti- cal Co.,, recently prosecuted by the Justice Dept. for a cartel con- spiracy with German interests; Pres. Thomas J. Hargrave of the Eastman Kodak Co.,, Eastman's Pres. Raymond N. Ball of the Lincoln Rochester Trust X Saw ings Bank; and Carl Nixon, lead ing corporation attorney. Reaction ary Publisher Frank E. Gannett works closely with the group.
 The strike involved 80 AFL, 35 CIO and two independent unions.

Joseph Cleary Named Head Of Political Group
Conn. AFL Committee Wires Congresswoman
 Praise For Stand

Holding its first meeting in New Haven, the A. F. of L. state Non Partisan Political Committee elected Joseph P.

These officers, it was agreed are to serve until the next regular meeting at which permanent officers will be elected. This meeting will be held in New Haven.

Our Committee votes," the telegram read, "that you were the only Representa- tive from Connecticut that did not yield to the emotion of the moment created by the short-lived railroad strike and that you displayed sound concern for American freedom by vot- ing against the drastic measure to im- pose involuntary servitude upon la bor."

Truman Slave Labor

Passed by hysterlcal House by a vote of 306 to 13, the Tru- man Slave Labor Bill CHR 6578) narrowly missed immedi- ate consideration by the Senate when in observance of the death of Sen. Carter Glass, discussion was held over a daytime enough for pro-labor forces to junk its most reactiOnary feature-the drafting of strikers.
 Early this week, 16 members of the House, shocked into sanity by the na- tion's uproar, scheduled hearings on the bill which, having been acted upon by the Senate, had to return to the lower house for approval of the changes.
 The proposal as it was returned by the Senate looks like this:
 l-The President would be em- powered to seize 'svital industries" and declare a national emergency.
 Eff a strike were in progress or being planned, it would be iI- legal, the Attorney General being empowered to obtain injunctions and possibly to imprison strikers.
 3-With the strike illegal, union leaders would be liable for a $5,OOO fine and years imprison- ment.
 4-Strikers would lose their Wagner Act and Railway Labor Act bargaining rights.
 5-Owners would be assured a ssfair profit'', the remainder going to the government.
 Expiration date was set for June 30, 1947.
 While Rep Clare Boothe Luce was the only Connecticut Representative among the 13 who resisted the Presi- dents call to war against labor, the legislation was presented under un- usual technical procedure requiring a yes or no vote for the proposal in its entirety.
 This was the reason advanced by Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse, New London liberal, and was believed to have prompted the others who now have chance to review the bill in light of Senate action on the following proposals.
 1-Sen. Robert Wagner's (DN.Y.) motion that the drafting of strikers be deleted was passed, 7O-13. with Sen. Brien McMahon (D) and Sen. Thomas C. Hart on labor's side.
 2Both were on labor's side of the proposal to send the bill to committee but this was defeated 42-40.
 30Again on the side of labor, they were defeated, 61-1o, in the attempt to strip the Attorney General of the bilPs injunction powers.
 4On Senate suggestions defining those industries in which the Presi- dent might act (defeated AS to 35) and denying him the right to set wages in government seized industries (defeated 54-28) Sen. Hart aligned himself against labor while Sen. Nc Mahon was with it.
 In the final passage of the bill, re- turning it to the House, both were in favor of it.

HERE'S HOW:
 Before ILCWU: 25 Cents Hourly After: 89 Cents
Southern Dress Show Work. CTS Quickly Learn Their
 Union Lessons

FAYETTEVILLE, Tenn. (FP)- An example of what the union movement can mean to southern workers is demonstrated in a dress shop that opened in this big tObac- co market center seven years ago in the mass-migratiOn of northern manufacturers who fled the union ized north.
 The dress factory came from C1eve- land, O., hired 375 girls from the farms and cotton fields at 25c an hour. It was folding money to the workers but when the wage-hour law brought 40c minimum wage and an organiz- CT for the Intl. Ladies Garment Work CTS Union (AFL) who "hired out in the shop as beginner" the trou- ble began for the boss.
 Soon See Light
 Girls whose only notion of the la bor movement came from what they gathered through the rural editions of Chattanooga and Nashville papers with the spoutings of Westbrook Peg Ter and other reactionary co1umnists, soon saw the light.
 Almost a year and half ago, in January l945, the employer, L. N. Cross Co.,, signed a union contract negotiated by ILCWU Vice Pres. John s. Martin. It raised piece work rates to a point that today the average for the whole shop is 89c an hour or $35.6O for a 40, hour week-and dress shops in the present shortage of finished ready to-wear goods are working over. time.

Labor Challenged
 To SaUe It's Rights

WASHINGTON = (FP) If mail and telegrams are safe tests of the temper and feeling of the people, there's no sympathy for the Truman anti-labor program in New York state.
 Sen. Robert F. Wagner CD, N. Y.) said May 3l that he has received l,63O communications protesting against Truman's strike-breaking proposals, and only 3 (three) supporting them.
 But we've got a fight on our hands now," Wagner said, asking for help from labor to "save the Wagner act"

BOSTON (LPA)-More than one big league baseball club owner was wistfully thinking about jumping to the Mexican league himself this week after learning that the first collective bargaining session in the history of the American pasttime was slated for Pittsburgh in few days.
 The American Baseball Guild, through its labor director, Robert Murphy, announced that arrangements had been made for preliminary talks with President William Benswanger of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
