We should have central labor unions in the Derby, AnSonia, Shel- ton area; Bristol, Willimantic, Dan- ielson and several other cities There is no reason why few Offi- cers of local unions and the State Federation of Labor should carry the entire burden of the labor movement in the State of Connecti- cut. I beg of you, if your local union is not an active participant in your central labor union area, please make a pledge that you will become a part of the central labor union in your city or town.
 Research
 I cannot stress too urgently the need for a Research Assistant in the office of the Connecticut Feder- ation of Labor. It is absolutely nec- eSSary for us to have facts and figures on employment, unemploy- ment, housing, industrial accidents and a number of other important subjects.
 The Workers Education Bureau, through their director. Dr. John D. Connors, has stated that they meas ure the efficiency of State Fed ation of Labor on whether or not they have a research director. I hope that in the coming year we can p 'ovide funds for a research director.
 A good part of my time is spent answering communications and at- tending to regular correspondence. It is physically impossible for me to handle research and continue the work that I am doing at the present time. I hope that ways and means will be found to provide this much needed work in the Connecti- cut Federation of Labor.

Labor Day. 1948


 Labor Day, 1948, will be celebrat- ed by the working people of the United States in a period of tense ness and anxiety. Almost every where Labor is under attack and there seems to be no end to the le- gal entanglements brought about by the vicious Hartley law. La Dor Unions are now fighting for Ytheir very existence. Big business is riding high, wide and handsome, boosting profits to an all time high. and not giving much thought to prices or the effects of high prices on the consumer. We are about to Aelect President and a Congress |sthat will chart the future course of world events. The only hope that I see in the future lies in the hope and prayer that the leaders of this great nation will put us back on the course cEarted by that greatest of Americans, Franklin D. ROOse- welt. If We are to get back on that course 1t will be necessary for each and every member of organized la- b0r to exercise their franchise at < the polls on November 2, 1948. This is the acid test. We will really have our bluff called unless we all pitch in and do the job we are paid to do.
 The 80th Congress does not rep resent the working men and work ing women of America. They have failed to curb imitation. They have weakened our Social Security law. They have failed to provide ade- quate housing. They have weak ened the labor movement in general and 1t is up to each and every one of us to go out and work for the de- < feat of the six Congressmen from Connecticut who voted for the pas sage of the Taft-Hartley law and other legislation that represented the views of the vested interests in this country. The failure of the 6Oth Congress to enact various pro- \ greSsive measures sponsored by the American Federation of Labor, in the long run, will play into the hands of the reactionaries and the Communists. It can be said with emphasis that the 8Oth> Congress demonstrated the triumph of the selfish interests over the general welfare of the public. It is impera- tive, therefore, for labor to acti- wise itself politically so that there will be no repetition of this Con- gress. The record of the 8Oth Con- gress on price control is one of complete inaction. in spite of the fact that wage increases have been wiped out by the uncontrolled rise in living costs, and the pressure is continuing to mount.
 The tax bill passed by the Con- gress favored the higher income brackets, but failed to relieve the lower income groups. Tn regard to Social Security, instead of increas- ing the coverage of this protection, the Congress took action which, it ! has been estimated. will exclude more than 750.OO0 workers. The Presidents proposal to raise the
 iHal1m wage was completely ig-

Richland Man Is
Contest Winner

Bully Griffin Of COZ Sanford
avenue, Richland, was the best
prognosticator for the hold-over
contest from last week in the
Courier-Reporter football contest.
Don Persinger, Route one, Ken
newick, led the field in the final
contest this week. Persinger has
entered practically all of the con-
tests and has come close in others.
Griffin missed three as did two
others, but he came closest on the
basis of comparative scores.
Chuck Warnock Of Kennewick is
singing "Always Bridegroom but
never a bride" He has been a
runner-up in two previous con-
tests and this time picked all but
three but lost on the basis of
scores.
The other guesser who only
missed three was Don Persinger
who won the final contest.
Griffin, like all other contest
ants, missed the W.S.C.-O.S.C. tie,
picked Toppenish to beat Wapato
and called the Kennewick-P asco
melee 6-6 tie. He was the only
Richland contestant to pick Sum
nyside to whip his home team.
Warnock and Persingr both
picked Richland on that camel
and Warnock was one Of the few
who strung along with Richland
to beat Yakima.
In this weeks contest, Persinger
showed remarkable skill when he
only missed two to run away
hoEn the field. He missed only
the Oregon State-Utah tie and
then went off the deep end to pick
Illinois over Ohio State.
Winners In the other four con-
tests were w. G. O'Neil, Sandra
Lee Schuster. Godfrey Smith and
Donna Rae Moe.

il they are properly handled.
When conditions are favorable,
storage problems Of al typee can
best be met by constructing q

done. however, construction Of s

Garden crops can be roughly

beets, carrots and sother root crops
keep best in cool, moist atnos-
