Building Trades
 Wages Behind Cost Of Living

Wage rates of union workers in the building trades advanced 2 per- cent during the first quarter of l948 and on April l. averaged $l.99 an hour. The Bureau of La Dor Statistics, U. s. Department of Labor estimated this on the basis of its quarterly survey of 2 basic crafts in 75 cities.
 Nearly a fifth of the 5OO,OOO union tradesmen covered by the survey received increases during the 3-mOnth period. The amounts of increase in most of the cases were between 10 to g cents an hour.
 Bricklayers and p1asterers in New ark, New Jersey, negotiated the high est pay scales-$3.15 an hour, 4O- cents increase over their previous con- tract scales.
 Since April 1947, union building trades have increased by II percent, and from June 1889, by 54 percent, largely as result of postwar nego- tiations. The overall gain from 1939 is substantially less than the rise in living costs or in wholesale prices of building materials.
 Between June 1889 and March l948, the Bureaus consumers price index advanced by 69 percent and average primary market prices of building materials by approxi- mately ll6 percent.

ernment help the building industry cannot afford to build a house sell ing for much less than $lO,OOO, nor a fOur-and-a-half room apart ment renting for less than $8O a mOnth."
 Omar Ketchum, speaking for Veterans of Foreign Wars, urged passage of the TEW bill. with a reduction in the interest rate al- lowed for government insured mort gages from 5% to 21h %. This change in the Senate-approved bill would bring many more privately built homes within reach of the average ex-CI, Ketchum asserted.
 LEGION STAND
 The American Legion, which only two weeks previously had approved the TEW bill, did not present di- rect endorsement of the measure ir testimony presented by legislative di- rector John T. Taylor and housing committee chairman Al1esandroni. The Legion asked for passage of the TEW bill plus the veterans homestead act provisions which the Legion has pre- viously backed. Even this proposal an- gered Wolcott. who challenged the

.FSA Fund Cut Is Opposed By
 A.F.L. And CLIO.

Washington (LPA) = Organized labor last week put in its plea to pre- vent Congress from crippling the pro- grams of the US. Employment Serv- ice and the Federal Security Admin istration. Heads of both the AFL and the CIO Social Security Departments presented testimony to the Senate Fi- nance Committee asking that fund cuts introduced in the House be restored in the Senate.
 The AFL representative found the same faults in the House bill and par ticularly objected to the section that would throw USES and unemploy- ment compensation together.
 Our interest is ill jobs first and unemployment benefits only in the event that jobs are not available or to tide workers over periods of un- employment between jobs," he said. We feel therefore that the main pur- poses of an Employment Service are to maintain adequate information re- garding the national labor market-or what we prefer to call the job market ito assist employers in finding work CTS suited to their job requirements and to assist workers ill finding suit able jobs.

It AM Depends On Who Gets It

WASHINGTON = CPD = Rep. Max Schwabe (R, Mo- found something to smirk about last week when an anti-labOr wit ness before the House labor committee said he favors a $3OO-a-week minimum wage for his own occupation.
 Movie director Cecil B. de- Mile, testifying on anti-picket- ing legislation, told the commit tee he is member of the Mo- ton Picture Directors Guild. The union, he said, is trying to write the $500 weekly minimum into a movieland contract.
 Schwabe, turning red, could not stifle his embarrassed smile. A few moments earlier he had asked deMille whether he thought labOr's demand for a 75c hourly minimum was not to high.

ble under a Communist philosophy which breaches class warfare. But it is vital to the welfare of our own country and any other land which wants to be free. With labor manage ment teamwork, we can attain full en- ployment, maximum production and widespread industrial peace. Surely, those goals are worth striving for.
 LABOR FREEDOM
 "We in the American Fedora ton of Labor are determined that free enterprise shall survive in America because it has brought to the people of our country a higher standard of living than is enjoyed in any other nation on earth.
 But the free enterprise system is not one-Way street. Labor must be assured of its freedom, as well as in- dustry, in order to make the system work effectively. The two are mutual ly interdependent One cannot exist or make any progress without the other.
 "Labor's willingness to give con- Structlve cooperation to industries which are fair to their workers is perhaps most graphically illustrated by the union label. The union label on a product means that it is made in America by union workers under de- cen. union standards and under clean and~ sanitary conditions. The same is true of the union shopcard and but ton with regard to service industries.
 We urge all American workers and the public as a whole to look for the union label before making purchases and to look for the union shop card and button before hiring services. In this way we provide concrete proof of our cooperation to cooperative employers"

right of the Legion to speak for its members on this question. Allesandroni replied that the vote to endorse his stand was unanimous, with every state department of the Legion represented
 AFL STAND AFL Economist Boris Shishkin told the banking committee the Taft Ellen der-Wagner housing bill should be passed immediately to meet an emer- gency situation.
 Shiskin gave committee members careful survey of housing cOndi- tiOns. He said figures now available from the l947 census reveal that conditions are even worse than had been estimated.
 Root of the problem, Shiskin said, is the fact that during the war four million workers moved into new industrial centers. In addition, to meet the shifting needs for labor in war plants, fully half of the city population moved from one place to another.
 There are now several hundred in dustrial ghost towns, the AFL econ omlst said, but in the main industrial centers housing is as short as ever. The l947 census shows 2.7 million couples living doubled up with other families Fully 349o of all families live without private bath and toilet.
 Without the TEW bill I've have a situation which is pretty hopeless" Shishkin said. Unless the bill passes construction costs will remain too high. he said. He cited Labor Dept. figures to show that construction costs alone in most cities are around $10OO0 for the average house-nearly double what the average family can afford.
 The whole construction industry ''is riding for fall,' Shishkin said. unless the industry is stabilized by government support of low cost housing.
 The AFL spokesman said little housing is being built for rental. Rents in general went up S4O& from 194O to 1947, in spite of controls. Since then they have risen even faster.
 Committee Chairman Jesse P. Vol colt (R., Mich.) asked Shishkin if the AFL supported apprenticeship pro- gram would produce enough construc- ton labor for an expanded housing program. Shishl1in said he was sure. it would.

H edith Plan Foes Called Reactionary

WASHINCTON-The Committee for the Nations Health. Inc., today accused the Brookings Institution of putting out 'sbiased'' and Gre actiOnary" report on National Health Insurance.
 The Institution released a report last Sunday which was strongly crit ical of the health insurance plan, simi- lar to Social Security, which Presi- dent Truman has asked Congress to enact.
 The Committee is headed by Charming Frothingham. M.D., of Boston. Its charges against the Brookings Institution were signed by Frothingham, Michael M. Da- wis, Ph.D., of New York: Ernst P. Boas, M.D., of New York. and Mor- ris LIewellyn Cooke, consulting en- gineer, of Washington.
 DOCTORS DISTRIBUTION
 "The Brookings report charges that national health insurance would not work because of a shortage of doc tors," said the Committee. "The Amer ican Medical Assn, however. has de- clared that there is no overall short age of doctors, although it admits there is a problem of redistributing doctors, so that rural areas will get their fair share.
 ''NatiOnal Health Insurance would =. draw doctors into these districts
 'The (Brookings) report says that some individuals and families are not able to pay for adequate medical care and that these people must be given care through public funds or pflilan- throphy."
 TWO-THIRDS IN CATEGORY
 But estimates of the American Medical Assn. show that not just some of the American people, but fully two-thirds of them are unable to pay for adequate care.
 'Unpredictable sickness costs can hit any family to degree that only the wealthy can afford, and the fear of these costs makes many postpone or go without needed care.
 ''The remedy is not charity. Most Americans will not accept charity. The remedy is health insurance by which people of all income groups, except the few wholly indigent, can prepay medical costs. ...
 "The National Health Insurance Bill now before Congress gives the prime administrative responsibility to the people and the doctors of each locality
 s'We deplore a report that is bias parading as science, trying to turn the clock back from social security to poor relief, miscalling the Ma. tion's health needs and misrepre. senting the national health insur. ance legislation now before Con. gress."

KeenanNamedAs NationalDirector
 Of Political Arm

Milwaukee (LPA) = The AFL executive council last week named Joseph J. Keenan director of its political arm, Labor's League for Political Education. Keenan,, the secretary of the Chicago Federation of Labor, has been assistant direc- tor of LLPE since its establishment, and has succeeded in getting CO., operation of virtually all AFL attiliates in the work of LLPE.
 George Harrison, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks was chosen chairman of the Leagues po- lltlcal' committee which has the final say on who LLPE will endorse i'll the November elections.
 AFL President William Green an- nOunced that the AFL will call upon the conventions of both ma- jOr parties to include in their plat forms a pledge that the Taft-Hart- ley law will be repealed.
 The executive council is also draft ing blanks on social security legisla- tlon and economic controls, for sub mission to both the Republican and Democratic conventions.
 At the end of the week the coun- cil met with Economic Cooperation Administrator Paul Hoffman who flew from Washington to MiIwau- kee to confer with the AFL leaders on labor representation in ECA and on the public advisory committee.
 Council members were joined by the other Is members of LLPE's admin lStratlve committee in a discussion of political campaign plans. They are be- lleved to have studied the voting rec ords ot a number of Congressman who are seeking reelection.
 POLITICAL STAND
 Key to the AFL's attitude towards any candidate will be his position on the Taft-Hartley law. Before the coun- Gil adjourns it will draft a statement outlining the effects of the union batting law on AFL unions.
 Green remarked that the AFL in- tends to continue its non-partisan policy, and will not endorse any ticket as whole. No Presidential candidate is believed likely to get an outright endorsement from LLPE.
 Council members and other AFL officials present for the meeting par ticipated in the inauguration of the Union Industries show that is being held ill Milwaukee.

MANY SIGNING
 Defiance of WolcOtt's blocking action is seen by TEW bill support CTS in the fact that names are being added daily to Discharge Petition No. 6, sponsored by Rep. Helen Cahagan Douglas O., Calif.) !, which would take the bill out of the hands of the Banking Commit tee and bring it to the floor.
 FEW supporters report that in the Banking Committee the vote is now l3 to II in favor of the bill. with two members = Cole (R.. Kan.) and Brown O., Ca.)-stili undecided.
 Further support for the TEW bill came last week from labor, veterans and Women's organization spokesmen, who appeared before the committee.
 In addition, mayors of two crowded industrial cities-Detroit and Milwau- kee-came before the Congressmen to plead for quick enactment of the bill. Mayor Eugene Van Antwerp of De- troit said that opposition to the TEW bill "comes from those real estate in- terests that have a direct financial stake in prolonging indefinitely the present housing shortage"
 EXPLAINS DIFFERENCE
 Frank Zeidler, Socialist mayor of Milwaukee, had to explain to Rep. Wright Patman (D., Tex.) the diff ference between Socialist, Communist, Republican and Democratic views on what part government should play in meeting the needs of citizens. He said he backed the TEW bill because "A socialist believes that when the basic needs of the people are not being met by private enterprise, then public en- terpriSe should step in and meet the needs"
 Franklin D. Roosevelt IT,, speaking for American Veterans Committee, re- minded the committee members that the veterans housing conference which met in Washington last fall had dem onstrated that veterans have finally united i'll support" of the TEW bill (which promises an overall solution to the housing problem"
 Even the good record of the building industry last year, when about 835,OOO new homes were erected, was ''more than 5O% short of our minimum needs, ]" FDR Jr.. reminded the Congress- men. And, he added, without gov-
