Conn. Federation Challenges Taft-HartleyLaw
Paid "Ad" Again Raps Taft, And States Congress-
 men

In a second effort to test the validity of the political expendi' lures section of the Taft-Hartley law, the Connecticut Federation Oi Labor and Local 48l, Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators and Paper hangers of America, of Hartford has placed advertisements in the Hartford Times opposing Senator Robert A. Taft's candidacy for the Presidency and the rejection of all six Connecticut Representative who voted for the anti-IabOr legis' latiOn.
 The C. F. of l.. ad was signed by President Timothy M. Collins and Secretary-Treasurer Joseph M, Rourke, and the Painters Union ad was signed by President John R.
 Referring to the fact that Taft had publicly announced that he was can didate for the Republican Presidential nomination, the A. F. of L. labor groups called upon Connecticut Repub- licanS who are to meet in convention next May, to choose delegates to the Republican National Convention "Whc are pledged to reject Taft and defeat his candidacy for the Presidential nomination"
 The C. F. of L. and the Painters Union also urged delegates to the Re publican convention to follow suit. Ii Taft should be nominated, neverthe- less, the ads called for his defeat at the polls.
 CONN. REPRESENTATIVES
 Listing Representative William J. Miller, Horace Seely-Brown, Els worth B. Foote, John Davis Lodge, James T. Patterson and Antoni N. Sadlak as having aligned themselves against labor, the C. F. of L. and the Hartford Painters Union called upon Connecticut Republicans to deny them renomination. Should they be nomin- ated, anyway, the ads urged voters to defeat them 'resoundingly" in the election.
 MIG MAHON PRAISED
 Secretary Rourke of the C. F. of L. and Thomas Fortune of the Painters Union also spoke over Station WKNB, New Britain, condemning Taft and the six Connecticut Repre- sentatives and Senator Raymond E. Baldwin for voting "on the side of the reactionaries." Senator Brien Nc Mahon was praised, however, for vot- ing against the Taft-Hartley bill.
 Ads were placed and radio broad casts were made last summer, but the government failed to take the necessary measures to test the laws provision in the courts. "We are eager for a test to be made as early as possible" said ROurke, ''and, therefore, are taking this second step. When we first acted last Au- gust, Senator Taft was testing pulp lie opinion. Two months later he definitely threw his hat into the ring, and he is now an avOwed can didate for the Presidential nOmina- tiOn."

Prices, Not Wages, Go Up

Washington (LPA)- Reports last week from the Bureau of Labor Sta tistics show that from mid October to mid-November, retail prices of the goods that moderate-income city families buy went up another l9o, more than 8@o higher than year ago, During that same month, average weekly earnings of manufacturing workers rose exactly 4c a week-from $50.98 to $51.02. A slight decline in the number of hours worked was off, set by a minor rise in average hourly earnings.

Musicians Extend Fight For Jobs

New York (LPA)-The American Federation of Musicians-AFL, pro- hibited from collecting royalties for the benefit of unemployed musicians from recording companies, have ceased all record-making. Charges that the ATM is violating another law, the Lea Act, were aired in a Chicago court where Musicians President James C. Petrillo is on trial for "co- ercing" a radio station here into using more musicians than it wanted to hire

Co-ops Turn Out To Be "A Hot Potato"

Washington (LPA) = The House Committee on Small Business, which early in 1947 had urged removal of tax privileges" from cooperative busi- nesses, last week issued a comprehen- sive report which completely avoided any recommendations on co-ops.
 Evidently burned" by the sharp criticism earlier this year when the committee tried to prove that co-ops in Greenbelt Md, and farm co-ops or the west coast were receiving privi- legged treatment from the federal gov ernment,

Strike Goes Into Its Ninth Week.: Mayor Silent
Restaurant Assn. Seen As Making Drive On Or.
 ganized Labor

Clergymen representing the three major faiths today unit. ed in calling upon the man. agement of HOf-Brau restau- rant, New Haven, to arbitrate the issues which caused all of the employees of the firm to stop working on November II.
 The action came in the form of Ia letter signed by the Rev. Ed ward J. Shea, pastor of St. Der nadette's Church; Rev. Elwyn Clancy, minister of Grace Methodist Church; and Rabbi Stanley Rabinowitz, of B'Nai Jacob Congregation.
 NINE WEEKS
 Local 4O4, Hotel & Restaurant Employees Union, to which the HOf-Brau workers belong, has been picketing the restaurant for almost nine weeks. An appeal to Mayor William C. Celentano by President Vincent J. McCOvern of the New Haven Central Labor Council, ask ing that he intervene, has been ignored by the Mayor.
 Strong support is being given to Local 404 by all unions in the Greater New Haven area. Labor leaders have expressed the opinion that the New Haven Restaurant Association is using the Hof-Brau situation as a test case in an effort to eliminate union labor from the restaurant industry in the Elm City.
 TEXT OF LETTER
 Following is the text of the letter sent by the clergymen:
 "Mr. Phillip Ritter,
 "Hof-Brau Haus,
 "3o Church Street,
 "New Haven, Conn.
 Dear MT. Ritter:
 "We are addressing you as volun tary committee, composed of three clergymen of the Catholic, Protestant and Jewish faiths.
 ''We have been appealed to by Local 404, Hotel and Restaurant Employees of New Haven, a number of whose members are engaged in an industrial dispute with you. The union has sub mitted evidence that their contract with you expired September 1, and charges that not only were they un- able to negotiate new contract with you, but were faced with sixteen and half per cent reduction in wages. They say they were finally forced to leave work on November II.
 At this particular time, we are not judging the merits of the situation. However, as citizens who believe that labor management disputes should be settled peacefully, we know that if both sides are reasonable, an agree able solution can be found.
 Therefore, we are writing you, re- questing that you give serious consid- eration to the following proposals:
 1. That the men go back to work
 on the basis of conditions
 which existed on November Il.
 2. That the disputed issues be
 submitted to arbitration, the
 arbitrators to be appointed by
 the American Arbitration As
 Sociation.
 "We have submitted these proposals to Local 404, which has accepted them. It Is our sincere conviction that you have an obligation to the community, one which we know you accept. We are willing to discuss this with you at greater length if you so desire. How ever, we hope that, following the pat tern of constructive Labor Manage ment relations, the status quo of No vember II will be put in force, and that negotiations will then begin.
 Sincerely yours,
 'Rev. Edward J. Shea,

Housing Picture Cold And Cruel, Not Improving

Housing in America today is being built only for the upper tenth of the economic groups in this country, Leon Keyserling, member of the Presidents Council of Eco homie Advisers, told a radio audi ence last week on the American FO- rum of the Air.
 Citing the average cost of house as $13,00O in New York, $11,000 in Chicago and 5000 in Dallas, Key serling said, "The facts about housing in America today are cold and cruel and not bright .'' He answered a claim by Morgan Fitch, president of the Natl Association of Real Estate Boards, that the cost of housing is not out of line with other costs today, with the following figures showing that of all items in the cost of living, housing has gone up most:
 Income Cost of Housing
 1910 100 100
 l947 l83 APO
 MT. Fitch asserted that rent control should be eliminated entirely "Only when rent controls are lifted" he said, Twill the housing shortage end"
 Former U. s. Housing Admini- strator Nathan Straus told the radio listeners that in the U. s. this year half of all babies were born to people living in slums. ''For over a century," said Straus. "private en- terprise has been saying Leave us alone and we'll wipe out slums.' But it still hasn't been dOne." He pointed out that a government housing program is needed.
 Straus added, "You do the average veteran no good by offering him homes for $7O, $80, and $90 month; he can't afford il" He then quoted Rep. Ralph Gamble (R., N. Y.), whose committee IS making a housing investi- gation, as saying, There is an abun- dance of private capital. Large amounts are going into speculative building for high income groups"
 The fourth speaker on the pro- gram was Edward Carr, president of the Natl Association of Home Builders. Ignoring the evidence that houses are being built at prices which people cannot afford, Carr stated that the answer to the whole housing problem is production. ''The record for production," he said, ''has been good since mate- rials controls have been lifted."
 Leon Keyserling summed up by say ing that the housing problem requires a specific three-point program: l. vital strengthening and toughening of the rent control laws; Pa definite program to stop imitation; and 3-a complete housing program along the lines of the bipartisan Taft-Ellender- Wagner bill

DRAT EISENHOWER UNIT NAMES LEADER
 Miami (Fla.) Herald

The chairman of the Presidents loyalty committee has announced that the committee almost decided to drop the whole probe because it barred the right of cross-examina- ton.
 Now when federal worker is fired, he can rejoice in the fact that he almost wouldn't have been.
 In a not-toO-cheerful prediction of the year ahead, Commissioner of Labor Statistics Evan Clague last week said: 'As 1947 came to an end the problem of checking infia- tionary price developments was still the major problem threatening the high levels of employment, pro- ductiOn, and income that had been achieved following the recOnversion period There was little indica- ton by mid-December of any cessa- tion in the upward movement of prices.'

A girl of 18, she had en-

1t. H. c. Blackman. head Of

heartbreak that marks their
business. Yet now and then
something happens to break
the hard routine and give
them a fillip. For instance,
Policewoman Ruby Brandt,
the only woman on the stan,
is currently tracking down
relatives and friends named
in letters received from desti-
tute Europeans, many Of
them Germans. The letters
relate how the wartime
bombings destroyed all their
papers, among other belong
ings, and ask the bureau to
please look up Cousin Joa-
chin, whose exact address
has been lost, but who lives
in or near Washington.
In one such case she was
phoning all the persons of q
certain surname listed in the
directory and was down to
the last one. The woman who
answered the phone said no,
she had never heard of the
European letter writer, but If
she could have the name and

anyway. It's little things like
that. says Miss Brandt, that
reassure her about the human
race.
She also follows up COM
plants from out-of- town
parents who write In asking
the bureau to locate q son or
daughter who hasn't been
heard from for q long time.
In most cases, Miss Brandt
says, the Grant child, when
located, is contrite and prom
ises to write home immedi-
ately to reassure the old folks.
One case Miss Brandt still
has on her books Is that Of a
girl who vanished when she
was IA. About q year later
her mother received q post
card postmarked Washing
ton. It read: "Just passing
through town. Don't worry
about me. I'm okay."
Miss Brandt believes that
the girl, as happens with 50
many other vanishing young
sters, got tired of going to
school and will go back home
when she has passed school
age.
