United Labor In
 New Haven To Plan Campaigns
Joint Committee Of AFL, CIO And Railroads Have
 Elections In View

In preparation for next years state and national elections, the New Haven Central Labor Council, at its meeting Thursday, unani- mously voted to instruct its repre- sentatives to begin planning for an active program by the United Labor Committee of Greater New Haven.
 The United Committee is made of representatives from the Central Labor Council, the New Haven Industrial Union Council, CIO, and the Railroad Brotherhoods. Vincent J. McGovern, president of the Central Labor Coun- Gil, and Nathan Sherman, editor of the UNION TIMES, are the A.F.L.'s delegates on the executive board of the Committee.
 The delegates at the Council meet ing expressed the opinion that the special session of Congress, and the forthcoming special of the Connecticut Legislature should be given attention by the United Labor Committee They also expressed the belief that although the elections were a year away, 1t was not too early to begin making plans to defeat the Connecticut Con- gressmen who voted for the Taft Hartley Law, and other anti-labor measures.
 HOF-BRAU CASE
 The lockout of the members of Local 404, Hotel & Restaurant Work CTS, who are employed at Hof-Brau restaurant, received detailed attention at the meeting. Mrs. Betty Marland, business agent of the Union, stated that the men felt the situation could be adjusted if they could deal directly with the owner, Philip Ritter. Harold V. Feinmark, Typos Union, pointed out that the men were forced out of work when management wanted to cut wages 1625%o at a time when living costs have increased by 309o.
 The Council then unanimously voted to place Hof-Brau on the ''we-do-not patronize" list, and ap- propriated $IOO to Local 4O4 to help it win. Credentials were voted to Local 4O4, which will permit it to appear before all 50 unions affiliated with the Council, and re- ceive financial aid from each.
 After hearing an address by Leon- ard Bright in behalf of the American Trade Union Council of the National Committee for Labor Palestine, the Council voted $25 to help with its work, and requested all locals to help this worthy cause, which involves the organized labor movement of PaleS- tine. William Green is an honorary chairman of the Council.
 At a previous meeting, Joseph M. ROurke, secretary treasurer of the Conn. Federation of Labor, ob- tained the passage of a motion that committee be appointed to induce the few unions in this area not now affiliated with the Central Labor Council, to become members. Presi- dent McCOvern announced that he had appointed William P. Enright, Painters Union, chairman; Rourke; Joseph J. Eagan, Typos; August Striby, Bakers; Nathan Sherman; and himself.

Wants Profits Tax For Europe's Aid

Washington (LPA) = President Harvey w. Brown of the Int'l Asso- citation of Machinists this week called on Congress to restore excess profits taxes.
 If businessmen continue to charge all the market will stand, we may wreck our own economy while trying to save Europe's," he declared. If Congress will not control prices them selves, then it must remove the in- centive to higher prices by taxing away excessively high profits: Already, profits have risen to fantastic heights" "

Teamsters Win Union Shop Poll

Washington (LPA) - The Int'l. Brotherhood of Teamsters last week won the first union shop election held under the Taft-Hartley law in the vote, the IBT was authorized to bar gain with the Safeway Stores for a union. For several years past the union has had a closed shop contract with the chain until this was out1awed by the Hartley Act.
 The NLRB announced that Safe ways warehouse employees voted 299 to four for the Teamsters while the l9o drivers were unanimous.

Taft-Hartley Foe
 To Run For Senate

Chattanooga, Tenn. (LPA)-Rep Estes Kefauver (D., Tenn foe of the Taft-Hartley law and outspoken cam paigner against monopoly, last week announced his candidacy for the seat of Sen Tom Stewart in next years primaries.
 It was immediately made clear that Kefauver would have to buck not only solid Republican opposition but also the powerful Crump Democratic ma chine. Said Ctump, "The New Yorr headquarters of the CIO no doubt told him to announce early. Personally I'd as soon vote for Marcantonio as vote for Kefauver."

COPS RETAIN RIGHTS

Tuscaloosa, Ala. IPA)-OAfcia1s of the Central Labor Union last week were successful in stopping drive by the editor of the Tuscaloosa News to force policemen to withdraw from membership in the State, County & Municipal Employes-AFL. The pa per's unsuccessful demand came after clash between striking Southeastern TrailWays bus drivers and company guards. According to the CLU there has been mo evidence that police be- cause of their membership in the un- ion had been negligent in their duty.''

movement in the world which is moi calling for the naturalization of banks, railroads, steel, and trans- pOrtatiOn. Nevertheless, we are at. lacked, despite the fact that we are the backbone of the free enterprise system. Frankly, it doesn't make sense to me. The labor movement of this country is basicalIy conser- vatIVe, but listen to gentlemen like Taft, Rankin, and Ball, you'd think we were trying to undermine our system.
 HELPING SYSTEM
 Tn my opinion, we're strengthen ing our system. By demanding decent wages, we are doing something to diminish the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few. The quickest way to get depression is to have in- adequate purchasing power. Prices are so high today that many families just can't make both ends meet. Profits are at the highest peak in history. Is that healthy situation for this coun- try?
 "I don't have to tell this audi. ence that the A.F.L. believes that industry is entitled to a fair profit. We're not of the kind that damns the boss, because we believe that this country depends on the co. operation of labor and manage ment. But we must stop and ask: where is this all going to end? Isn't industry worried that we're headed for bust after this boom is over?
 eve believe that industry has a responsibility to help stabilize the economy of this country. Frankly, l don't believe they're living up to that responsibility. The profits of the giant corporations are so far out of line with costs that either we're headed for uncontrolled in- hatiOn, or a depression. Both will have the same effect on this cOun- try.
 q don't have to tell you that I'm not an economist, but 1t seems to me we must do something about rising prices. Labor has no choice but to ask for increased wages when the Bureau of Labor statistics reports that the cost of living rose 2 per cent between Aug. Is and Sept. Is. The cost of liv- ing today is at least 12 per cent higher than 1t was year ago; and 23%o above the last effective OPA ceilings. What are we supposed to do? Sit back and lower our standard of living while prices and profits go up to the sky?
 THE FACTS
 "We are running up against the same situation in the building trades. The building trades have the lowest percentage of increase in wages of any trade. As you know, our wages were practically frozen during the war. Yet the public has been sold the idea that construction costs are so high because wage rates are high.
 "The plain fact is that building materials are so high that construc- tion costs can't be lowered. Too many contractors remember the cost-pluS days, and are operating as if those days were still with us. True, many of them are non-union, but the good have to suffer for the bad. Here in Hartford we have begun to give thought to a guaranteed annual wage in the building trades. If this could be worked out, it would help the en- tire industry.
 ''In these few remarks, have tried to show the kind of problems we are now facing. Pm not dis l feel that labor will come through. We've got the strength, the power, and the com mon sense.
 elf we work together, we will have a better city, state, and na- tiOn.'

Patents Are Not Secret

Thomas A. Edison once testified
that he had never known of a sup
pressed patent. There is no such
thing as a ~"secret" patent-claims
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Patents r granted as an incen-
tive to invention and the public dis
closure of new inventions. The very
word patent" means "open," dis
closed" When an inventor is
granted a patent he discloses his
idea and an "open" record is made
in the patent office, copies of which
r available to anyone for Is cents.
suppression" of inventions under
these conditions is unnecessary and
profitable. The very fact that de-
tails and drawings of all patents
are available to the public adds to
mans knowledge of science and the
useful arts. They spur others to
create-and to patent-something
better. The exclusive right to use of
an invention, granted by a patent,
is short-lived. The creator endeav-
ors to have his invention marketed
as soon as conditions permit. Other
wise, the idea already having been
revealed, someone may improve
upon it-''build a better mouse

Treatment Is Advocated
To Avert THYROID Crisis

Patients with a serious and some
times fatal condition resulting from
overactivity of the thyroid gland,
called Thyroid storm" should re-
ceive individualized treatment di-
rected toward correction of all rec
ognizable abnormalities.
In a report to American Medical
association, Drs. Janet w. Near
thur, Rulon w. Rawson, J. HI Means
and Oliver Cope, Massachusetts
General hospital, state that of 2,O33
patients with a poisonous thyroid,
Sc had experienced a thyroid storm.
The doctors state that their con-
ception of storm is essentially that
it represents the inability of the pa
tient any longer to adjust to the
strain imposed by overactivity of
the thyroid gland.
Thyroid crisis occurs in patients
with severe, poisonous thyroids who
are undernourished and suffer from
serious complicating diseases and
in whom medical treatment has
been unsatisfactory. The occurrence
of crisis can be reduced by not op-
Grating on such patients until nor
NAL thyroid function has been re-
stored in the patient with antithy
roid drugs such as thiouracil.

Several Chemicals Listed
To Guard Against MiIdew

1t is now possible to prevent mil
dew and mold by the proper appli-
cation of any one of several chem
icals recommended by the U. S.
department of commerce to protect
household draperies, curtains, avn
ings and other material.
The report also covers methods
of preventing tropical deterioration
of plastics, optical instruments, pho
tographic supplies and electrical
equipment.
The report, available from the Of
fee of technical services, depart
ment of commerce, includes the re-
suits of studies made for the war
department, the office of scientific
research and development and the
national bureau of standards.
Numerous chemicals were found
to be effective in preventing de-
~terioration of textiles over a wide
range of tropical conditions. They
include copper 8-hydroxy quinoline,
pyridyl mercuric stearate and chic
ride, copper naphthenate and cop
per ammonium f1uoride.
Experiments with over IS, 900
samples of textiles and other n%a-
terials were conducted at a test sta
ton in the Canal Zone. More than
1850 living fungus cultures and LOO
bacteria samples were assembled
for the tests.

Gunman Fires Pistol
At Youths In Laurel

One night several weeks ago Kari
George thought he saw n of the
elusive silver disks which had been
making the headlines but last Tues
day night he had even more eXcit-
ment when he was involved with a
young gunman at his service station
here in Laurel.
Three Billings youths, Max Palm,
Charles Lucky and Al Vern Kautz,
were parked in Billings when a
stranger entered their auto and at
u point forced them to drive him
to Laurel. When they arrived, he
forced them to stop at Georges
service station where he rang the
night bell and was inquiring about
purchasing some gas when the
youths made good their escape amid
a fusillade of shots. Two of the
bullets entered the auto but the
passengers escaped injury. Georges
deg bit the stranger in the leg,
tripped him, and when he recovered
his feet he a east from the station.
The same evening the Red and
White grocery on Main street was
broken into and the till robbed of
about $25 in nickels, dimes and
pennies. Officers Investigating the
two events believed there might be
some connection between the two but
at latest reports the gunman is
still at large.
