 Vincent J. McGovern, president of the New Haven Central Labor Council, has joined other A. F. L. leaders in the state in opposition to the labor legislation recommended by President Truman and to the Case bill. He has sent wires to U. s. Senators Brien McMahon and Thomas Hart.
 Said MT. McGovern in his tele- grams:
 SIn behalf of the 10000 AFL mem- bers in Greater New Haven, I urge you to oppose House Bill 6578, pro- posed by President Truman, and the Case Bill. These bills are the, re- suit of hysteria and vengeance. They would restore government by injunc- tion and provide for prosecution of workers. The democratic rights of labor are at stake. If labor is not free, no one is free. This situation calls for statesmanship. Please dc not fail us.'
 Also telegraphing a protest was Harold V. Feinmark, former secre- tary-treasurer of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, who. charged that President Truman is selling American labor down the river by trying to make working people sub- ject to military orders"
 Other A. F. L. protestants are Nathan Sherman, editor of The Union Times, A. F. L. newspaper and Bernard Chloride, secretary treasurer of the New Haven Build ing Trades Council.
