As We See It
 by THE STAFF

HATS OFF to President Thomas F. Brennan and the Waterbury Central Labor Union for its splen- did hospitality to the GEL. Con- vention. The banquet was one of the best-planned we have ever at- tended, and the various arrange ments made by the Waterbury C.L.U. earned the praise of all. Upon the motion of Vice-President Carmen DiCorcia, a gavel, with the inscription, ''Sixtieth Convention n'' will be presented by the State Fed eration to the Waterbury C.L.U. A DRAMATIC moment of the GEL. convention came Friday, when President Collins proposed a minute of silent prayer in tribute to the memory of President Frank lin Roosevelt, ''the greatest friend the working man ever had in the White House."
 ALTHOUGH Pres. Truman's message to the people calling on them to give Congress the old hot foot went down the line for many progressive measures, it is not as some of his supporters would be- lieve, the shot that saves his pro- gram. It was no atomic bomb.
 Truman, by his own choice, is caught in the middle and is paying the piper for not taking a firm pO- sition of leadership earlier. He re- fuses to see that his Democratic party is not one party-but two . the polltax Southern politicians and the wage-earning industrial workers in every section. He is afraid of the congressional cleo. tions this year. And his fear may cost his party control of the House.
 In asking the common folk to take a stand, the President forgot that they have! The proof can be found easily by just asking the men and women on picket lines out in Pontiac. Detroit and in Stamford, Conn.
 THE government hasn't got the heart to ask industry to grant workers a 3O@o pay raise. But last week it proposed a 33% increase in the selling price of butter.

 YaLe-TouUne Ruling

STAMFORD, Conn.-(FP)- The NLRB has announced it may soon release its decision on charges of unfair labor practices brought against the Yale X Towne Lock Co. by it's 5000 striking employees, members of the International Association of Machinists. The NLRB state- ment came as the Stamford All Union Council, representing the city's AFL, CIO and unaffiliated unions, warned that unless progress toward settlement of the 2-month walkOut was made, it would repeat the general strike it staged Jan. 3 as a sym- pathy demonstration for the Yale & TOwne strikers.

Smiths s Side Show
 Flops Completely

San Francisco (FP)-Gerald L. K. Smith put on tame show in San Francisco after passing line of 600 pickets from unions and other pro- gressive groups. He expressed him self as disappointed" at the size of the picket line, saying that in Los Angeles he had 10000 the first time and 10000 the second"
 A large part of the sparse audience was made up of high school boys and girls, who broke into open laughter at Smiths ranting. One reporter from a daily paper who interviewed him was informed: "You are a jerk and l don't want to answer any of your questions"
 Altogether, Smiths meeting was a magnificent failure. The plainc1othes- men, who made up an appreciable seg- ment of the audience, had nothing to do as the public stayed away in droves.

 Of Labor

Harold V. Feinmark retired as secretary-treasurer of the Connect. cut Federation of Labor at last weeks convention, and upon an. nOuncing his retirement, pledged his full support to the organized labor movement, saying that ''in office, or out of office, you can be sure that I will be in there, doing what l can to advance our cause. ,

 ''I asked the chairman to recOg. nize me at this time because l want to tell you that l am not candi- date for reelection" Feinmark told the delegates.
 My health and my obligations to my family make it impossible for me to be again candidate for the office of Secretary Treasurer.
 'sI want to thank the officers, As sistant Secretary Larry O'TOOle, and the executive board for all the help they gave me during a period which was one of the most important in the history of the la. bOr movement.
 ''FOr my part, let me say that organized labor comes first, last. and foremost.
 ''It is above all individuals, and groups.
 ''In office, or out of office, you can be sure that I will be in there, doing what I can to advance our cause."
 RESOLUTION
 The convention rose as a man when Feinmark was through, and gave him a tremendous ovation.
 During the afternoon session, Jo- seph P. C1eary, Bridgeport Team sters, and chairman of the Resolu- tions Committee, presented a resolu- tion which had been raised in the committee which described Fein- marks services to the Federation. The resolution, which was unanimously passed, said:
 ''RESOLVED, That this Sixtieth Annual Convention of the COnnec- ticut Federation of Labor, hereby extends its sincerest thanks to our retiring Secretary-Treasurer, Har- old V. Feinmark, for his untiring efforts for the / organized labor movement during his term of of flee.

 TWO-FOLD VICTORY
 McGovern, reporting to the 60th annual convention of the state organ ization at Waterbury, declared that the victory was two-fold, first, that a representative of labor was in Con- greSs from the New Haven area; and second, that one of the worst enemies of labor, Ranulf Compton, was re- tired in the process.
 The text of his report follows
 ''Since the last convention of the Connecticut Federation of Labor. we have made much progress in the city of New Haven.
 "The number of new affiliations has continued to grow. Because of the general situation, the number of new locals has not been large, but we have just set up an organizing com mittee, and expect to get to work.
