WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Great Brit
ain. since the beginning OF the war,
has spent s7OO.OO0.OO0 TO provide proper
housing for war industry workers.
The United states has not yet spent
a cent.
But two bills now pending appro-
pirate S50.OOOOOO each.
one. providing that sum for the ship
ping board. is now practically through
Congress, and will soon be law.
The other is designed TO permit the
department OF labor 10 provide hous-
Ing for those engaged In war industries
other than shipbuilding.
The shipping board claims its pro
gram has been materially held up by
delay in passing its housing bill. Al
I Sparrows Point. near Baltimore, only
q 500 men are at work, when the plant
can easily use 1000.
To double the force would mean
adding 1900 tonnage TO the 1918 ship
/ ping output. but the men cant be
obtained until there are homes for
them.
The plan to be largely used by the
shipping board follows: The ship
building concern VIII be required
wherever possible, TO furnish the
land and 20 invest one-flfth OF the
money needed TO build houses; the
Government Will furnish the other
four-nfths at per cent interest. A
separate holding company, whose d.
rectors will be named by the Emerg-
ency Fleet Corporation. VIII also hold
a mortgage on the property
AS the houses in many cases VIII b'
built In places where, after the war
there viii not be so great demand
for them, loss Is expected, and alread,
discounted. This loss Is held part o.
the expenditure necessary to win th'
war.
The places where the frst houses
will probably be erected are at Spar
rows Point, at Hog Island, near Phila
delphla, Wilmington and at Newpor
