As We See It
 by THE STAFF

One of the first things the strike bound Bell telephone companies did throughout the country was to throw a curtain of secrecy around the number of strikebreakers and socalled supervisory employees they were able to hire. In some sections this hush-hush policy became ridiculous. When a newspaper re- porter called the telephone conn., pany and asked. SsIs your informa- ton service still operating?'', the very nervous voice on the other end of the line said, ''I'm sorry; we are not allowed to give out that infor- nation.
 Indiana telephone operators are tied to their posts by a state com. pulsory arbitration law, but they want the public to know where their hearts are. So whenever an opera tor, local, information or long dis tance, handles a call, she says: "We are working against our will. This is our strike too. The In- diana law is unconstitutional. Mum. Der, please!"
 A fascinating new pamphlet went the rounds of government and un- ion economists in Washington last week. Its title was Americans Won't Stand For MonOpolies." Its publisher? The Nat'l Association of Manufacturers. And, oh yes, the monopolies that Americans won't stand for are labor unions! The Indiana state legislature set an example last week that other state legislatures might well follow. It set aside consideration of anti- labor legislation to discuss a new bill which prohibits anyone from carrying atomic bombs around the state. And SO help us Lilienthal, the bill survived charges that its author, Senator Charles Fleming s'had been reading too many comic "strips" and was moved up for a third read- ing!

 The Fresno (Cal.) Labor Citizen quotes an official of the electri- cians' union as saying that union men should not play juke boxes or pin ball machines that don't carry the union label.

Important Meeting For White Collar Workers

The Summer School for Office Workers will be discussed informally by AFL, CIO, and YWCA represen- tatives and other interested persons at 8 PM, Friday, April 25, at the Young Women's Christian Association, AZ Howe St., New Haven. The School holds its 1947 session from July 12 to 26 on the campus of Lake Forest Col lege in Illinois. Girls and men from unions and other groups gather from California, Colorado, the middle west and eastern states to talk about prices, salaries, full employment, civic rights, international security, and the place of the white collar worker in the la bor movement. There is plenty of fun, too.
 The discussion on Friday evening will turn on the problems of securing applications from white collar work CTS in this area and assisting them in financing the two weeks of vacation filled with ideas.

If In Washington Be Very Careful

WASHINGTON When Fiorello H. LaGuardia, former mayor of New York City, came to testify before the House Banking Committee last week in support of rent control and ade- quate housing, he was questioned as follows by Republican Rep. Frederick Smith of Ohio:
 Smith: You said 3O9o of the homes will have to be socialized?
 LaCuardia: Publicly owned.
 Smith: Why 3O%? Why not lOO%o?
 LaCuardia: Because when you get above that income group, they will be able to pay enough rent. required to take care of the carry. ing charges, amortization and con. struction of the house in which they live.
 Smith: You think, then, that 70@o are making enough income to build homes for 309o and still have suffi- cient income.
 LaCuardia: Yes, under our present tax system.
 Smith: Then you believe in the redistribution of wealth?
 LaCuardia: We'll, I do not care what you call it. It does moi frighten me bit, sir.
 Smith: I realize it doesn't frighten you bit, but it frightens some of the rest of us.
 LaCuardia: Where are the 3O9o going to live, may ask you? In novels?
 Smith: I think if they listen to this socialist philosophy, they will have to go back and climb trees again, go into hollow logs. That is my idea about the thing. You have come down here from New York City and you testify that you want 3O8o of the houses sOcialized.
 LaCuardia: And the Senator CTaft) from your state does too.
 Smith: He is only an individual after all. He does not speak for me. Certainly not. And he does not speak in my judgment for the ma- jOrity of the people of the state of Ohio on that subject.
 LaCuardia: Well, that is interest ing.
 Smith: We'll, the substance of your testimony, as 1 gather it here this morning, MT. LaGuardia, is that the answer of the housing problem is Communism.
 LaCuardia: Oh, no, no, even if you say that hundred times. am so accustomed to that that it does not create that reaction in me that l think you want to create. just refuse to pay any attention to it because, MT. Representative, it does not make sense. You cannot call man Communist because he is looking for decent houses for Americans to live in. Neither you nor the whole state of Ohio can do it to me.

State Teachers
 FormFederatiOn, Elect Creenberg
Six Local Unions Comprise Connecticut Federation
 Of Teachers, A.F.L.

The Connecticut Federation of Teachers Union (AFL) was formally organized and received its charter at meeting held Saturday at the Yale Divinity School. Locals represented i'll the Federation are in New Haven, East Haven, Hamden, New Britain, Yale University, and Torrington. The Torrington local was organized only recently.
 Federation officers were elected as follows: Louis Creenberg, Ham, den, president; David Reid, East Haven, vice-president; MaskeIl Hunt, Hamden, executive secretary; ; Mrs. Olga Sipolin, New Britain, secretary; and Mrs. Ruth Sugen- heimer, New Haven, Treasurer.
 Irwin R. Kuenzli, national secre. tary of the American Federation of Teachers, presented charter from the national organization to the new state union.
 Joseph M. Rourke, secretary-treas- urer of the Conn. Federation of Labor, addressed the new organization, and said that labor over the years has been "the best friend of the American school system," pointing out that over a cen tury ago workingmen's organizations fought to establish free public schools in this country, to make attendance compulsory, and for free text books"
 Rourke said that labor favored adequate financial support for the schools ''despite the shortcomings of our schools, despite the failure of history text books, for example, to tell the true story of labOr's past in the development of this country, and despite the recognition that many teachers are wOefully misin- formed on labor problems
 The Connecticut Federation of La Dor, he said, approved of plans for federal and state aid for education. We are opposed to overcrowded classes and favor a reduction in the size of classes to a maximum of 25 pupils to a class" he said. "We favor we'll constructed school buildings and in keeping buildings which are not ob- solete, in good repair; we of course favor higher salaries for teachers"

Labor Set Back 25
 Years By NelU Bill

WASHINGTON (LPA)-"Or- ganized labor will be set back 25 years'' if the union-wrecking le- gislatiOn proposed by the House Labor Committee is passed.
 That was the opinion of Rep. Ray Madden D., Ind), member of the House Labor Committee who has joined with four other Democrats in writing a strong minority report attacking the 2O- man COP Majority's union wrecking proposals.
 ''The bill as it stands not only amends the Wagner Act, it null lilies it," said Madden. ''MOre- over, it hits not only the Is, ,OOO,- 900 wage earners in organized labor but an additional 3O,OOO,- 900 who are not members of unions.
 elf this bill is passed by the House and finally enacted it will lead to industrial confusion and chaOs."

Prices Blamed For Bad Building Delay
Exhorbitant Cost Of Land And Materials Are Main
 Hindrances

WASHINGTON (LPA) - The building boom that was promised by the construction industry with the coming of warmer weather isn't materializing, and labor, govern ment, and industry economists are trying to figure out why.
 Since the amount of building activity is one of the weathervanes used by economists in forecasting depression, they are especially worried over the obvious lag in construction.
 In March, the Commerce Dept re- ported last week, all construction was up only 6.9@o over February. Nonresi- dential building even declined from February to March by 5.49o. Home building activity was only 6.19o higher than in February, and an estimated 20@o behind forecasts.
 The exhorbitant costs of land and building materials are the main blocks to larger volume of con- structiOn, most economists agree. Wholesale prices for building ma- terials have jumped more than 26 per cent in the past three months. Lumber costs rose 47.3 per cent be- tween October 1946 and February of this year. The Federal Housing Administration's index of the build- ing cost of Standard house." with the 1935-1939 cost figured as 100, was l56.8 in November, and l74.8 in February of this year.
 Even industrialists were becoming increasingly unhappy over their much heralded "boom." Frank Cortright of the Nat'1 Association of Home Build CTS, in his weekly report. said, "The home building industry in every part of the country slows up, and the un- certainty is evidenced by a faltering record of new starts"
