New Benefits In States U.C. Law Now Operating
The Maximum Number Of Weeks Jumps To 20;
 Lowest Rate Increased

Additional unemployment com pensation benefits and new sched- uIe of duratiOnal accounts becomes effective in Connecticut January 1, 1946.
 Persons who have exhausted their benefit rights at any time since, April 1945, may, upon application to their nearest Unemployment Compensation office be entitled to additional benefits ranging from $10 to $90 This is pos sible by the increase in maximum weeks of duration in a benefit year from IS to 20, which is one of the principal changes in the law which becomes effective January first.
 The minimum weekly benefit payments benefits have been changed to S8 instead of SC while the maximum weekly benefit rate remains the same at $22.
 The new tables of duration provide for the payment of approximately $250 for each $10 of wage credits, rather than $2 for each $10 at pres ent All claimants now filing and who are entitled to the maximum Is weeks are automatically entitled to an addi- tional 2 weeks.

National Phone Tieup Looming From Fight
Sympathy Strike Seen Spreading Offers
 Half Of 3O@o Raise

NEW YORK LPA).-A sym pathy strike of telephone operators, starting in New York and New Jersey and perhaps extending over the na- tion, was threatened last week by the Western Electric Employees Associa- tion, an affiliate of the National Fed eration of Telephone Workers. West ern Electric workers in New York and New Jersey voted almost six weeks ago in a Smith-Connally poll to reinforce their demand for a 30%c wage increase by going on strike. The company had offered 1870 wage in crease, which was rejected by the union. The strike is now set for Jan. 5
 Picket Lines Inviolate
 Picket lines, according to the union, will be thrown around es- tablishments of telephone operat- ing companies using Western Electric equipment, and the Ma tional Federation of Telephone Workers has indicated that its members among the operating and maintenance employees will honor the picketing and refuse to work.
 According to Henry Mayer, attor- ney for the Western Electric union the picket lines may be extended all over the country in the event that . speedy settlement is not reached witt the company over the 30@o wage raise demand.

US. Muffs Chance
 In Germany---AFL

Washington (LPA)-United States policy in governing Germany is miss ing the greatest available opportunity to build the anti-democratic forces in that country, the AFL charged last week.
 Missing Opportunity
 ''The present US. policy does not give the anti-Nazis a sufficient opportunity to rebuild democracy within the country. We do not per- init statewide unions and demo- cratic parties. Able and sincere anti-Nazis should be allowed to re- turn. Mail service between the United States and Germany is still closed, and after six years the Ger mans are still cut off from demo- cratic influences in this country. German industry is today operating at only 5%o of capacity. General Eisenhower warned a few weeks ago that with millions unemployed and 6O%o receiving so little food that malnutritiOn and disease are threatened, organized revolt might occur at any time."
 The AFL publication points out,
 CT h consumer cooperative movement was older and larger than in any other European cOun- try; and most important of all, the free labor movement in Germany was one of the strongest and best developed in the entire world, with an unbrOken record of democratic achievement for 80 years.''

Triumph Seen In Truman
 USES Rider Veto
Presidents Refusal To Let Agency Revert To States
 Changes Lucas Mind

Washington (LPA)-Labor won a major battle last week as President Truman acceded to union requests to veto legislation returning the US. Employment Service to the individual states.
 Would Retard Job Program
 Truman gave Congress a l5OO- word verbal spanking as he refused to Okay the ''recission bill'' with drawing more than $5l billion in wartime appropriations. In a wig orous memorandum to Congress the President declared that return of USES to the 5l states and terri tories would immeasurably retard our unemployment program"
 The veto is expected to be sus- tained by the Senate. Even Sen. Scott Lucas O., I1l), one of the chief packers of the rider, said that in view of Truman's message he would re- consider 'the whole subject" Lucas asserted that q doubt that would vote to override his veto in view of his language" This was doubly sig nihcant because it was Lucas who at tached the USES rider to an unem- ployment compensation bill.

} Union Leaders Jointly Appeal For Europe Aid
Green, Murray, Randolph Urge Relief For Children
 Condemned To Die

NEW YORK (LPA).-An appeal to the people of the United States to help save Europe's children from death was joined last week by A.F.L. president William Green, CIO presi- dent Philip Murray, Matthew Vol of the Labor League for Human Rights, and A. Philip Randolph, president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters = -A.F.L. The appeal, which appeared in newspaper advertisements and on the news pages of the nations daily papers, said:
 Children COndemned''
 ''The children of Europe are condemned to die-to die in masses in this first year of peace Millions of EurOpe's children live in heatless rooms, without win dows, with leaking roofs, and sometimes open to the winter sky. Their food must also fuel their bodies with heat. The children, ex- cept in the best provided areas, are condemned to ever-gnawing hunger, stunted growth, tuberculO- sis, rickets, and immediate prOstra- ton and death before the On- slaught of respiratory diseases and other epidemics. In parts of Ger many, mothers bearing children from famished bodies cannot nOar- ish them, and the infant mortality is at least 5O% of births."

 Industry Claim
 On Bankrolls
C.E.D. Shows Flaws In Argument That Workers
 Have Huge Savings

One of industry's favOrite argu- ments against labor's demand for government action to insure full production and full employment is that the much-publicized postwar mass market will come out of sav- ings piled up during the war.
 According to the Committee for Economic Development, the country has socked away $40 billion in per sonal savings. It's not necessary to give workers raises or worry about mass unemployment, the employers argue, our products can be bought just out of past earnings.
 HERE'S THAT BUT
 To give long life to this myth about workers hidden bankrolls, the fife Insurance Companies of America have selected facts from 8 government survey of savings to announce in a press release that 45% of national savings are in the hands of what it calls the low and medium-incOme groups, those with family incomes below 5000. But they hush-hushed the fact that less than lO%o of the savings is in the hands of groups below $2,OOO a year.
 An analysis of the same government report by Bread & Butter" weekly newsletter of Consumers Union II which warns, incidentally, that the government report was not a national survey, but applied only to one south ern city and one midwest rural coun- ty-shows that:
 THE FACTS
 Only 15%o of the savings of city families were held by those earn ing less than $55 week, but such families comprised 69% of the city families covered. If urban and rural families together are divided into three groups according to their incomes, the poorest third had only 6%O of the savings; the middle third had l79o of the saw ings; and the wealthy third had 77%o.

Building Trades In New York Get Rise
Master Agreement Proves To Be Effective Instrument Wage Board Gives Some Trades Increase Of
 25 Cents An Hour, Some Less

The Wage Adjustment Board has approved wage increases aver aging slightly under the Is per cent Little Steel formula for approximately 100000 building trades and heavy construction workers in New York City and vicinity, thus averting a possible walkout.
 The Building Trades Employers Association of New York and the Building and Construction Trades Council of Greater New York had requested the full Is per cent for all employees up to a maximum of 25 cents an hour. While the adjust ment board granted maximum of 25 cents an hour to some trades 1t shaded the proposal somewhat under the Little Steel formula in averaging the increases.
 Most of the skilled trades re- ceived on Tuesday, when the new rates became effective, an hourly wage of $2.25, compared to the $2 an hour they had been receiving.
 Some of the adjustments are on a basis of seven-hour day, but whether any downward changes in hours were made was not apparent from the formal te1egrams sent to the parties.
 49 Trades
 Forty-nine trades are affected by the wage adjustments that were sent out from the boards office in the Labor Department
 The majority of the workers af- fected are employees of construction concerns affiliated with the Build ing Trades Council of Greater New York and vicinity while most of the employers are affiliated with the Building Trades Employers Asso- citation.
 The wage negotiations that re- suited in the applications for approval under the National Wage Stabiliza- ton Policy were held in New York. The jointly approved wage rates were sent to the Wage Adjustment Board on Oct. H.
 None of the trades affected by the adjustment has received wage in creases since 1o3o and 1o40, it was said at the boards offices.
 Notification of the adjustments in the building construction indus try were sent to C. c. Norman, chairman of the board of gover- nOrs of the Building Trades Elm pIoyers Association and Howard McSpedon, president of the Build ing and Construction Trades Coun- ciI of Greater New York.
 Old and New Scales
 For the building construction in dustry the following rates were made effective compared to present hourly wages:

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

THE entire labor movement of Connecticut, and the army of friends of labor, are behind the striking workers at the Yale-TOwne plant in Stamford. The broad la. bor unity achieved there is an in- spiratiOn to the nation.
 THE principle of severance pay for workers permanently displaced by plant closings was upheld by the Natl. War Labor Board this week. A WLB order addressed to five subsidiaries of the US. Steel Corp. directed payment of sever- ance allowances to workers perma- nently laid off. It also ordered A Lake Superior iron ore mines to make severance payments to em- ployes laid off in war-exhausted mines. Under WLB's l944 order, schedule was set up for allowances of four weeks pay to workers with three or more years of service; six weeks after five years, seven weeks after seven years and eight weeks after ten.
 The Birmingham (Ala.) NesOs calls a spade a spade in this head line:
 DACHAU DASTARDS
 WILL BE HANGED
 FOR BESTIAL ACTS
 BY signing the first deficiency appropriation bill last week, Pres. Truman put into law a rider pro- hibiting the NLRB from using funds to conduct strike votes under the Smith-C -Connally law. Labor law yers said that although the NLRB may not conduct votes, unions will be required to go through the for mality of filing notices and waiting 30 days before conducting a legal strike. A formal decision is ex- pected soon.
 IF labor doesn't agree to a fact finding and cooling-Off law, Con- gress will do something much worse to unions, administration leaders say. Remember when we were told if we didn't give Czecho- slovakia to Hitler he'd really do something horrible?
