channels so that the cost Of the
work may be included in the 1947

proved.

matter to the southeastern divl

essary to achieve this, according
to Louis B. Orrell, president {.
the beach association.

New London is still quibbling over the CIVIC CENTER. The CLU has officially endorsed the idea, but many shortsighted citi- zens cannot yet see the real ben eft to the city that a Civic Gen. ter would bring.
 
 A revitalized and forward look ing New London Chamber of Com merce has come forward with a REAL PROGRAM FOR 1947.
 Number one on their list Is IN- DUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. It looks like the rae is on between the twin cities --GROTON-NEW LONDON. It seems two out of state firms are considering New London seriously. ..
 New London with it's history of frightfully high livlng costs now finds itself involved with a series of building trades strikes that cer- tainly have a good common sense foundation. New London is rated as the next to Washington, D. c. HIGHEST COST LIVING SEC TON IN THE UNITED STATES. There are only two solutions: 1. Raise wages to meet the costs, or, II. Lower the staggering overhead that the worker residents now find it impossible to meet. We are sad sacks in comparing ourselves to what the Washingtonians get for their dough.

MT. Greens views were contained in an editorial titled Not Compul- sion, But Cooperation" in which he appealed to management to supply responsible unions with facts and records needed for collective bar gaining.
 If we would maintain our demo- cratic way of life" MT. Green wrote, we must maintain economic freedom for workers and manage ment through cooperation. If we substitute compulSion for coopera- tion at home, we cannot promote democracy through the United Ma tions."
 The AFL leader chided those who ask for a law to force strik- CTS to work" asserting that such proposals come from persons and groups which have failed to con- slider that "compulsion for any one group will inevitably lead to compulsion for all.
 Neither management nor labor wants an economy controlled by the Government, for that means control by politics, with continuous political interference in collective bargaining" MT. Green declared. Political intervention kills col lective bargaining and slows down progress for workers. There is no compromise between these two policies.
 Having to get through strikes is one of the costs of freedom. Nor is this a policy of doing nothing. On the contrary, 1t brings direct responsibility for strengthening collective bargaining"
