Labor Meetings and Rent Control Debate Panel
The CIO labor notices list meetings for Local 14 Rubber Workers Monday, Local 395 UAW Friday, and La Crosse County council Wednesday plus Pioneer Labor Hall Thursday. Delegates to the UAW International Convention were elected last week: William Lagas Donald Yolton Archie Rogers with first to third alternates Paul Bigley Palmer Stone Ted Heath. A Madison test case on bill 611A seeks rent increases up to 25 percent and removal of rent controls by March 1 1950, with about 1 000 landlords expected to attend hearings and strong opposition from housing advocates. The piece critiques landlords and OPA policy, noting ongoing housing shortages and calls for careful handling to avoid drastic rent hikes while recognizing a looming eviction pressure. The final note identifies the trout as related to salmon in freshwater fish taxonomy.
