 Talks At Chase

Union proposals for a wage boost will be submitted to the Chase Brass & Copper Co. by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers at the opening of new contract negotia- tionS next week.
 A preliminary conference was held last week between Frank Corrigan, business agent for Local BLISS, which represents about 100 AFL-electrical workers at the Chase Metal Works Waterville plant, and Robert Stro- hacker, assistant industrial relations director.
 The union seeks adjustments in the wage scale, Corrigan stated, as well as new provisions for health and ac- cident insurance, disqualification and vacation pay.
 Both union and management spokes- men were confident that amicable set clement would be reached on the new contract terms. Corrigan indicated that the wage issue would be the major point under discussion, and that the local would be guided by standard IBEW contracts throughout the coun- try

A.F.L. Sees US. Undermined By Bad Labor Laws
Green Says Plan To Ernas- culate Labor's Rights
 Means Chaos

WASHINGTON (LPA) = AFL President William Green this week opened labor's attack on scores of threatening anti-union bills in Con- gress.
 Green gave it ''straight-from-the- shoulder" to the Senate Labor Com mittee as he warned that enactment of the anti-labOr laws ''wOuld pro- duce such great industrial confusion as to seriously undermine the pre- sent world position of the United States"
 Under fire by hostile Republican Senators, Green argued that the un- ion-crippling laws" are promised on an assumption that is entirely with out merit, namely that our problems in labor management relations steam from alleged excesses in the practices of trade unions.
 BASIC FORCES AT WORK
 "The truth is," said Green, "that most if not all of those problems re- suit from basic new forces that have developed under the changed circum- stances of the past fifteen years = such as our expanded economy and our great advancement in machine production with resulting manpower displacement; the diSlocations and ad- justments caused by the depression :; the war and the postwar period; and the emergence of certain economic and social truths
 Point by point, Green analysed the major proposals for emascula- ton of labOr's rights and pointed out how they would add to indus trial chaos. Some of the notions, advanced as legislation, he describ- ed as ''prOpagandistic hogwash."
 Green charged that the anti-c1osed shop idea lis not only bitterly reac- tionary, but flouts over 100 years of traditional industrial practice and re- turns labor to the same status it oc- cupied at the very beginning of its struggle for recognition.
 The proposal of Sen. Ball (R. Minn.) to outlaw industry wide bar gaining was attacked by Green with the contention that 'sIt treats the labor of human being as though it were a commodity"

Washington (LPA) = Possibility of twO-way strike during the first two weeks of April of PTS, ,OOO in- dependent telephone uniOnists and 5O,OOO AFL telegraphers which would almost completely paralyze the nations communications system lOomed greater this week.
 Thirty-one affiliates of the indepen- dent Natl Federation of Telephone Workers across the country filed 30- day strike notices expiring April 7. Negotiations with the industry reached critical stage with mot one Bell Telephone Co. offering a penny of wage increases as counterproposa1 to our demand for a $12-a-week in crease" according to NFTW Presi- dent Joseph Beirne.
 The Commercial TeIegraphers Union-AFL also set an early April headline for a nationwide walkOut against Western Union. NegOtia- tions with WU were nearly stymied before they opened. when the AFL union saw the agenda prepared by the company for the negotiating sessions.
 Forming it "an infamous document which would take away all gains made since 1889, the cru characterized the agenda as "an open invitation to strike your industry" Indignantly the cru replied, "This is notice that we accept the invitation" cru officials said that the company sought to junk pres ent contract provisions providing for such benefits as overtime pay for Sat urday and Sunday work, maintenance or membership and dues checkoff.
 An NF'TW strike would shut down all long distance operations; 1; practically all regional and local traffic. The only significant section of the country where local calls would not be affected would be New England.
 A cru walkout would close te1e- graph operations in every part of the country save metropolitan New York where about 70O0 workers belong to the American Communications Assn.

Still No Relief In Sight For Labor Press
Conference On Paper Short age Fails To Help Small
 Journals

WASHINGTON - CPD - The much-heralded newsprint shortage conference called by the Senate small business committee opened and closed last week with no plan in sight for the relief of small, non. commercial publications, including the labor press, desperately short of newsprint paper.
 The group of publishers, paper dealers, senators and government of 6cials emerged from closed-door session with two-edged program:
 1. To undertake, as far as they can'' to have the local publishers asso- citations examine all cases of distress of newspapers of general circulation. ' Proposed action is paper lending or resale on a local basis.
 2. To sponsor a committee investi- gation of the problems of other papers which include labor, fraternal, re- ligious and other publications mailed under Post Office regulations Sec. 52l The committee is to report to the Senate small business subcommittee in 10 days.
 Members of the committee in. clude one small publisher, Charles E. Moreau, of Orange, N. J. The other six members are spokesmen of the Ne,U York Time, Chicago Fri bune, the Hearst chain, Cenneti Newspapers, the Philadelphia BuI- Ietin and the Scripps-HOward News papers.
 No representative of the small non-commercial publications whose fate is being discussed are on the committee. The Emergency News print Consumers Committee, repre- senting many of the hard-hit small publications, was denied admission to the conference.

Bldg. Trades To Meet With Contractors
Strikes Cannot Be Made Illegal, Bishop Declares
Must Deal With Causes, Haas Tells Catholic
 Conference

Chicago (LPA-two thousand dele gates to the 18th annual Catholic Con- ference on Family Life were told by Bishop Francis J. Haas, of Grand Rapids, that it is utterly naive to hold that the government can outlaw strikes"
 The noted prelate, who served as first chairman of President ROose- veIt's Fair Employment Practices Committee, declared that "Our government should do its rightfuI part to remove the cause of strikes, but merely to pass law to outlaw strikes could result only in fatal loss of prestige to the government itself." Industrial peace will not be maintained, he said, if prices re- main prOpOrtionately higher than wages because ''sound social order requires an equitable balance be- tween the two."
 Harry Read, trade unionist, told the Conference that ''the greatest existing practical threat to the family security of all America lies in the rapid and increasing mechanization of the south farming. This agricultural revolution in the southern states will touch most, if not all, of the nations economic and social spots before it has reached full growth
 Simply stated" said Read, "the crux of the problem is that within the next 10 years mechanization of the south's agriculture will cancel the farm jobs of from one to five million southerners, Negro and white This problem is particularly serious in the case of the Negro farmers and farm hands of the south. Side by side with their displacement by machines is the growing determination in the minds of many southern Negroes to migrate for other reasons. The problem is somewhat different for the white mil lions who will be pushed off the farms.
 'sIt is possible that correspond ingly rapid naturalization in the area may absorb many of these white workers in their own region. Be that as it may, mechanization of the south's farm lands will have a terrific impact on the north and vest"

.StabilizatiOn Plan Desire Of
 State Council
Employers Offered Chance To Work In Harmony
 For Common Good

An official committee repre- senting the state chapter of the Associated General Con- tractors and the Connecticut State Building and COnstruc- ton Trades Council will meet in New Haven Monday evening (March 24) to begin a series of conferences designed to stabilize the building industry in Connecticut.
 The meeting was asked for by the Building Trades Council, which believes that stabilization of the industry will go a long way towards solving the housing crisis in this state.
 COMMITTEE NAMED
 The executive board of the Building Trades Council, meeting in New Haven Wednesday, appoint ed its committee to meet with the contractors. The members are Council President Michael J. Barry, business agent of the Hartford Carpenters; Secretary Treasurer James O'Kane of Bridgeport, busi- ness agent of the Iron Workers Union; Vice-President Saul Kreas, business agent of the New Haven Painters; and Nathan Sherman, editor of The Union Times. The committee representing the con- tractors has not yet been announc- ed.
 Although each local union and the individual contractors must ratify any agreement reached by the joint organ izations, there is agreement in labor circles that labor-nlanagement har- mony in the building construction field will be of, major importance in speed ing the building of homes.
 FREE BARGAINING
 President Barry pointed out today that with government controls re- moved, the unions and contractors are free to engage in genuine collective bargaining. Basic conditions can be set on state level, Barry said, with ad- justmentS for local requirements.
 The forty-hour week is a basic plank in the unions program. This would mean the elimination of over time work.
 ''The housing emergency is SO great, that we owe it to the people of our state to do everything pOssi- ble to eliminate any reason for dis cOrd," Barry said. 'sWe hope that the contractors will agree with us. I think labor and management can get together in this field and work out a mutual program which will set an example for the country. Labor is willing to do its share"

Dom Dewey, Republican hope full. has been doublecrossed by Truman again. While Tom sits in New York's capital, trying to get a law to break public workers strikes, the federal administration does it with the old laws.
 Free enterprise has gone to the dogs in America, what with the gO- vernment going into business to compete with the little fellow. An honest strikebreaking outfit hasn't got a chance anymore, when the government steps in and does the job free.
 Labor witnesses who have ap- peared before congressional conn mitteesl say the Burns detective agency seems like a uniOn-lOver after you've had a load of Ball, Taft, Hartley or J. Parnell Thomas.

Promising that the AFL would chal- lenge the validity of the laws, Green said: ''Fhe supreme court already has upheld the closed shop and will again so decide"
 To illustrate the impossibility of enforcing such laws, Green said: 'sI'm an old coal miner and l found as a coal miner that there isn't any power on. earth that can compel a union coal miner to work with a scab."

l5 Million New Homes Is Coal Of Senate Bill.
Wagner, Ellender, And Taft Again Sponsor Much
 Needed Measure

Washington (LPA) = A bill aimed to encourage the build ing of l5,OOO,OOO home units in the next ten years was introduced into the Senate last week by Repub- lican leader Robert A. Taft (R., Ohio), Robert F. Wagner O.. N. Y.) and Allen Ellender O.. La.). In all important respects it is the same as the General Housing Bill introduced by the same men last year, which was passed by the Senate but killed in the House.
 The major aims of the bills are to encourage private industry to build more homes thru government backed financing, to provide $26,400,OO0 a year for four years to locally-run low cost housing projects, and to help communities to plan redevelopment of slumS
 Organized labor is again expect ed to back the bill, as the absolute minimum program that can begin to meet the nations growing short age of decent homes. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., national housing chairman of the American Veterans Committee, has asked Wagner, FL lender and Taft to consider series of amendments which would make builders find rental housing more attractive, and to protect veterans.
 The AVG also wants the Veterans Emergency Housing Act extended to Dec. 31, 1o48, and asks that 25,00O,- 900 of the unused premium payment funds intended to encourage produc- tion of scarce materials be used in developing and testing new type build ing materials and prefabricated homes for commercial use."
