Makes Profitable SideIine
Certified Seed Production

Increased profits from the farm
ing business are possible for growers
who are so situated that they can
undertake the production of certified
seed. This has been pointed out by
Robert Boyce, of the Agronomy De-
partment at the University of Mary
land, who also states that the short
supplies of certified seed available
may serve to encourage more grow
ers to undertake such production.

Public Council
 Report Played
 By State Labor

The Connecticut Federation of La Dor and the State C.I.O. Industrial Council which are both strongly op- posed to the state sales tax joined this week in assailing the Connecticut Pub lie Expenditures Councils recent re- port which condemned the alternative proposal of state income tax backed by organized labor.
 Pointing out that the Council does not include any state 6r muni- cipal government officials nor any labor or consumer groups, Joseph M. ROurke, secretary-treasurer of the Connecticut Federation of La. bOr, charged that ''the only names appearing on the list of the Coun- cil's directors represent Connecticut Big Business"
 Tt is small wonder" he continued, that the CPEC favors a sales tax which would penalize the low income groups of the State, instead of an in- come tax which would place the bur den Of state revenue collection on those best able to pay"
 Carter Atkins, secretary of the Con- necticut Public Expenditures Council, was criticized for passing his estimates of income tax yield on personal in comes of 1943. MT. Rourke declared that l948 income tax payments would probably be 375 per cent higher than in 1943.

Challenges Industry To Plan On Production

Washington (LPA) = With the facts of imitation recorded on the sales slip in every shopping bag in which today's groceries are being carried home" AFL President William Green called on Congress last week to give the executive branch of the government power to bring prices down.
 Green told the Senate Banking Committee that the AFL supports the following proposals: controls over installment buying and bank credit; controls on commodity speculation; export controls; allo- cation of freight cars; inventory controls and allOcation of scarce commodities; exten on and strengthening of rent control; ra- tiOning of consumer goods in short supply; price controls over ''a few specific commodities which are in critically short supply when all other means fail''; and reimposi- ton of excess profits taxes along with the $4O-a-person deduction proposed by President Truman.
 Instead of wage controls, Green recommended that labor and employ CTS be called upon to enter into vol untary agreements, made pursuant to collective bargaining, to extend the work week by one hour per day with the prevailing standard of overtime compensation for the additional hour worked"
 The unique proposal for indus try-union pacts to increase produc. ton, Green claimed, ''would make possible substantial increase in the rate of production of goods and services, without a proportional in- crease in the unit cost.''
 The AFL spokesman hatly opposed wage controls as outlined in the Ad ministration's bill introduced by Sen. Alben Barkley O., Ky.). It is, he said, "unrealistic and is bound to prove thoroughly unavoidable"

A.F.L. Supports CARE Packages To Aid Workers

The 5000 members of Local BOP, New York Cafeteria Employ ees Union, AFL, spend every work ing day seeing thousands of New Workers consume tons of food. It set them to thinking of people in war-tOrn Europe who face a major problem in obtaining even the sub- standard diets imposed by short ages and sky-high prices.
 Result: the union has launched a campaign among its members to raise SIS 900 for the purchase of Care food packages for distribution to trade un- ionists and their families overseas. The other day, William Mesevich, the To- calls president, and Joseph Fox, secre- ary-treasurer, turned over to Paul Comfy French, CARE executive direc- tor, check for $l 100 to pay for the first ton of CARE food CLIO pack ages).
 These initial orders were consigned to trade union leaders in France (30 packages), Italy (3O), Greece (3O), and Poland (20), who will distribute them to the neediest families among their membership. Each CARE food package contains enough to supple ment the diet of an entire family for a month.
 Individuals may use CARE, a non- profit, government-approved service, to send help to friends, relatives and groups in IA European countries.

 The Community Bank, 629 Chapel St.; Camble-Desmond Com pany; The Heigelman Agency, 6O9 State St.; and The Coop Stores at Al Elm Street, l84O Whitney Ave- nue, 35 Townsend Avenue, 284 Clinton Avenue.

Unions BulWark Of US. Liberties, Priest Asserts

NEW ORLEANS - When the Freedom Train" came to this city, many an oration was de- livered from public platforms and over the air about the struggle of early-day Americans against the divine right of kings
 Quite different, however, was a talk given by the Rev. Vincent J. O'Connell over Station WDSU. Father O'COnnell, known as a cham pion of labor's rights, told of an- other stirring struggle-that of workers in years gone by against the ''divine right of employers" to ''dictate the conditions under which a man shall work"
 There was a time, he pointed out, when the employer had sole and ex- elusive power to determine wages and working conditions. If the worker did nit earn enough to support his family, that was just his misfortune
 Labor's Struggle for Freedom
 Tt was only natural that the Amer ican worker should rebel against this kind of dictatorship he declared.
 This rebellion" he sead took the form of unions through which workers could bargain collectively with their employer on wages and conditions.
 ''Can you think of anything more expressive of American freedom than this representative economic democracy?" Father O'Connell ask ed. And yet, he said, this ''thor- Oughly American institution has been slandered and lied abOut.''
 Actually, this country should be thankful for the growth of trade unionism, he stressed. American un- ions have always, he declared, fought for freedom for all the people,"
 Unions in the Vanguard
 They were in the front lines in the struggle for universal suffrage" he said. "They were strongest advocates of free schools for all children.
 They have always been in the van guard of the fight for social legislation which would guarantee security in old age and sickness for all Americans, organized and unorganized."
 Organized labor made great sac- rifices during the war, so that ''we might all have freedom from fear" Father O'Connell added. And in the postwar period, he said, labor fought for full employment, ade- quate housing, price control and many other measures to assure freedom from want.''
 It's true, he explained, that there have been abuses in the labor move ment, but as a whole "the record of organized labor stands unchallenged for democracy and honesty by any other American institution"

Hatters Mourn
 Death Of Murphy

The head of the Mallory Hat Con- pany (Danbury), Neil Murphy, died last week after a long illness. His death was deeply regretted by mem bers of the Hatters Union in Danbury and elsewhere, as we'll as by his associ- ates and the management. MT. Mur- phys record for fair dealing with his workers was very we'll known. The many years of stable labor relation ships with the Mallory Hat Company were in no small measure due to the enlightened and liberal approach of MT. Murphy to labor management relations.
