MIR. UNTERMYER TELLS THE
WORLD.

Every once in a while, Samuel
Untermyer, of New York, discloses
something.
Every once in a while he has some
thing to say.
Sometimes he says something
worth listening to and sometimes he
says bunk.
His most recent ,pronouncement
is that the present housing situation
is due to the abuses of intrenched
wealth and power"
Mr.. Untermyer makes the further
Interesting statement that much of
the trouble is due to the fact that
the great life insurance companies,
savings banks and other investment
corporations are abandoning their
former practice of making loans on
improved real estate and that this is
the most serious obstacle to q solu-
ton of the housing problem.
Mr.. Untermyer said that ''at the
end of 1918 there were IS insurance
companies with total assets of s13.-'
197,O29,627.00 OF this sum they
held in mortgages on real estate.
total of $706,312,56S.00, while their
holdings in railroads and other
stocks and bonds reached the apall-
ing aggregate of s1,S55, 1S9,565.0O
which was more than IL times their
holdings in real estate mortgages"
Mr.. Untermyer's statements and
his figures should be Of consid err.
able interest to working people in
view OF the fact that working people
pay a great many of the insurance
premiums and furnish the labor
which builds all the houses.

BRIEF DOINGS AT CONVENTION or
: AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. June H.
Out on the far end of the great steel
pier 547 delegates sit in deliberation
on the problems Of the working peo-
pie of America, striving to reach con,
cluslons that will result in progress,
avoiding both the chaos of Bolshevism
and the reaction of the Bourbons.
Underneath them the waves of the
Atlantic lap ceaselessly at the piers
and tumble cearelessly toward the
sand. Along the boardwalk a block
away the promenade Of the lame and
the halt and the luxuriating idlers
goes on early and late in 1.-THE mirth
place of the nation.' Between the
"A. f. of L.. convention hall and the
boardwalk there is a great medical
exhibit, staged by the American Med
lcal association which is in convention
mere. Plain clothes men amble through
the crowds on the alert for bomb plot
tiers. much to the disgust of the labor
men who see no sense in such pro-
ceedings. But the mayor has ordered
the sleuths to pussyfoot and so they
pussyfoot ceaselessly.
Many Colored Delegates.
There are some IA colored delegates
in this convention. Four or five years
ago there were none. Finally one
struggled in and the number has in
creased rapidly. They represent Pa
cific Coast oil field labor mostly. Their
particular fight is for an anti-lynching
resolution. They flock together and
make themselves unobstrusive as pos
sible.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Accord-

States department Of labor lead smell
ter employers at Herculaneum, Mo-,
are doing their utmost to develop an
ugly spirit among employees.
A $4-a-day minimum. awarded a
year ago last February by the ma
tional war dabor board, has been ig-
nored and when the armistice was
signed one company reduced its force
from $50 to 265 and then offered to
pay $2.65 a day, which the men re-
fused to accept. A subsidiary land
company sold houses to these workers
and secured ejectment orders from the
court in cases where men were dis
charged or refused to accept the wa. :,
cut. A tense feeling has been dwell
oped and the men believe that furth-
err wage reductions are contemplated.
