activities which are banned have not caused strikes. Indeed, many of these activities which the Congress is out lawing are stabilizing influences.
 ''I want to raise one other major objection to the details of this legis- Iation. For a Congress which is dis turbed at the extent of government intervention in our economy, it is strange indeed to find support for legislation which would put the Gov ernment directly in the middle of every labor-management disagree ment. And, as I have indicated be- fore, it would put the government in there on the side of management and against labor.
 Let us take a look at some of the legislation which you ask me to ap- prove. There is the legislation which requires the government to regulate a whole range of mternaI union activi- ties. This provides an impossible ad- ministrative task. 1 have the great fear that the sponsors of this legislation realize this full well, but have had in mind not the regulation of these a1- legged unfair union practices, but the crippling of union effectiveness. x
 UNEQUAL TEST
 Furthermore it is fantastic to re- quire an theological examination of every union officer as a condition of collective bargaining. This would make it possible for every violent anti-union employer to blare forth the charge of Communism against every decent American union. Do we impose such test on our business corporations i? In addition to being bad legislation it is undoubtedly unconstitutional as well.
 ''The Outlawing of the closed shop and the impossible restrictions on the union shop and the checkoff, it seems to me, will make impossi- ble stabilized dealings between labor and management. Here is further evidence that the reaI forces behind this legislation are not interested in industrial peace. They are inter- CStCu HI OuSIAuS tHO uH1OnS at the cost of industrial turmoil.
 q don't believe that this is the best of all possible worlds and that there are no legislative actions which can be taken which will not improve labor management relationships and thereby benefit the whole community. But I will refuse to put my signature on any legislation as crucial to our national well-being as this legislation is, which has been conceived in a spirit of re- venge and punishment"
 This is the kind of message we hope the President will send to Congress.

CINCINNATI-AFL Pres. Will liam Green predicted that the AFL and CIO would get together in time to form a political bloc of from 40 to 50 million votes before the 1948 Pre- sidentia1 election.
 WASHINGTON-The April job survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows a drop in manu- featuring employment, a poor showing in spring construction jobs and some nOt-too-bright prospects for the immediate future, accord ing to BIS Commissioner Evan Clague.
 JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.-A bill banning utility strikes and authorizing state seizure of utilities threatened by strikes was signed by Gov. Phil M. Donnelly and will become law next September.
 WASHINCTON-The nationwide telephone strike was virtually end- ed as the Assn. of Communications Equipment Workers and the Vest ern Electric Co. signed an agree ment bringing an average weekly raise of $4.6O to 10000 installation men working in 42 states.
 INDIANAPOLIS-The know-how of AFL printers and CIO newspaper men should be combined to provide the people with "a free, truthful and sorely needed American labor daily newspaper" Vice Pres. Elmer Brown of the Int1. Typographical Union sug- gested in the May issue of his unions official journal
 NEW YORK-The House com mittee on un-American activities was accused of experimenting an attack on the basic freedoms of all Americans Gin the name of hunt ing communist in a Civil Rights Congress statement signed by $50 CIO, AFL and other union officials.

M uSiCianS In Stamford Vote Funds For Help

Local 626, Stamford Federation of Musicians, AFL, has voted donations to various beneficial funds.
 The musicians authorized payment of $50 to the cancer drive, $25 to the Texas City relief fund, organized by the Central Labor Union, and $25 to the Eddie Mack Fund.
 The group also voted to send two delegates, Frank LiVolsi and Martin Gordon, to Detroit for the musicians national convention during the week of June 9.
 The local delegates will particularly urge creation of a public relations di- vision for the national union. This was approved locally some time ago, as an alternative to the present. policy of employing free lance publicity work CTS.
 It was also voted to start mem bership campaign here wherein all musicians will be brought into the local union chapter.

message, unless you act at once. Send penny postcard, telegram, or a letter to the President, urging him to veto the Taft-Hartley Bill.
 The President, I think, needs to be reminded that through collective bargaining workers achieve a part nership in free enterprise so that our economy promotes the welfare of all concerned. He also needs to be reminded that many employers do not want to destroy unions or abolish collective bargaining. They respect the rights of their em- ployees, and find that dealing fairly with responsible union brings in- dustrial peace and high morale.
 If the voluntary process is now sabotaged by the Taft-Hart1ey Bills, regimentat1on must soon reach to other fields; for rulings which limit wage increases must be followed by rulings to control prices, production, and profits if the economy is to be kept in balance.
 BALANCE NEEDED
 This is what we in labor mean when we say that the free enterprise system can exist today only if the balance is kept between free management and free labor This is what we mean when we say that this attack upon or ganized labor is an attack on our democracy. The growth of monopoly in this country demands a stronger, not a weaker labor movement.
 I urge you not to be fooled by talk about a ''weak'' compromise bill. The anti-labor forces believe that this is the time to ''get" labor, and use the words ''weak" and ''compromise' as a smoke-screen. There can be no compromise with the rights of free American citizens.
 Again, on behalf of the New Haven Central Labor Council, and i'll behalf of the continuance of our free Amer ican institutions, we in labor ask that you request the President to veto this infamous bill. Do it now.

30th. The House rent control bill would be "a1most worse than no rent contror according to labor spokes- men. The Senate has yet to take up a measure reported out by its Banking Committee which would considerably decentralize administration of controls but would continue some control for another year.
 Meanwhile, the construction slow down caused in large part by soar ing prices of building materials and the inability of home-seekers to buy or rent at present inflated prices continued to cause alarm in Washing ton. Despite the demands of all five major veterans organizations that present controls limiting non-residen- tial housing be maintained, Housing Administrator Frank Creedon was considering even further relaxation.
 Impressive proof of the unwar- ranted hike in prices for building materials was seen in a report that building material profits were up 255.5 per cent during the first quarter of l947 over the same period in l946 when OPA was still in operation. The report compiled by the Wall St. Journal shows that profits of 2l building material and equipment suppliers totaled $29.- 546,8O9 this year contrasted with $8,3Ol ,672.

 Here's what we hope he'll say in his veto message:

 VETO MESSAGE
 ''I am returning the Labor Bill passed by both Houses of the Con- gress without my approval. l am against this proposed legislation in principle and in detail. l am against it because I do not believe it pos sible to enact intelligent legislation in lynch atmosphere.
 "You will recall that several pro- posals were made in the Congress to provide for further study of these problems in ca1mer atmosphere. These were all turned down.
 T am against this legislation as a matter of principle also because it will engender much bitterness among work ing people. It is this kind of bitterness which will provide the fuel for the tur- moil and unrest which presumably the sponsors of this legislation seek to avoid.
 WILL INCREASE STRIFE
 Careful study leads me to the con- c1usion that this legislation is a de- liberate attempt to weaken the or ganized strength of the unions. But if the legislation is aimed at avoiding strikes, it will fail because the union
