WASHINGTON, Aug 1s.--Summer vaca-
tons ended. many members OF Congress
returned to Washington to-day In prep
aration for important legislation which
Is expected 30 keep Congress engrossed

With the national war prohibition
measure having the right of way In the
Senate at that time under an agreement
previously made. the man power meas
ure could be considered only during the
early part of each day. unless. as is not
improbable. prohibition advocates should
consent to temporarily sidetrack their

WAR HOUSING NEEDS
OUTSTRIP BUILDING
Bureau Finds II Necessary TO
Limit Construction.
Special Despateh to THE SUI.

WASHINGTON. Aug 1S.--Need Of
houses in towns and cities where war
materials are being manufactured has
outstripped the ability OF the Bureau Of
Industrial Housing with It's appropria-
tion OF $100,000,000 to handle the situa-
ton. It was stated to-day. Further re-
quests for the construction of houses in
war manufacturing centres will be
granted only on the certifcation of the
War or Navy Department that the ad-
ditional buildings are essential to the
fulflment OF war contracts
Requests for assistance In providing
housing facilities for newcomers who are
employed in war Industries are being re-
ceived from scores of towns in almost
every section of the country. Many OF
the requests are from the cities along
the Atlantic seaboard, where a large part
Of the war manufacturing is being car
ried on. The assent OF the War or
Navy Department will have to be given
to each OF the requests before the Hous-
Ing Bureau will take action.
one of the principal means by which
the bureau Is attempting to meet the
house shortage Is to induce local resi-
dents to throw open their homes to the
war workers. Another expedient is in
the extension of local transportation
ing communities in touch with adjacent
towns and cities where the full housing
capacity has not been utilized.
Among the places where these systems
have failed and 1t will be necessary to
build extensively are Elizabeth and New
Brunswick In New Jersey; Staten Island ;
Bethlehem, Philadelphia ana Butler in
Pennsylvania bridgeport and New Lon
don. Conn, and Quincy, WATERFOWL and
Lowell. Mass.
One OF the benefits which have been
derived in the prosecution Of the war
through the housing programme Is that
of reduction in the labor turn over"
Industrial workers who desired to re-
move their families from one locality to
another near their place Of employment
have been able to do so. The primary
purpose of the bureau is to provide real
homes for men engaged in turning out
materials for the War and Navy de-
partments.
