Portland, Ore. Dec. 3O.-trganized labor will make a concerted effort to make a concerted effort to seat pro- gressive candidates in Congress dur ing coming elections.
 It is confident the majority or delegates in the Senate and House at the next session will be sufficiently progressive to guarantee public in- terest snd unstable Wall Street from power

 ''Defeat of anti-labor leaders, par ticularly Beveridge and Poindexter, was decidedly satisfactory Morri- son said. Labor will be prepared at the next campaign to solidly back progressive candidates.
 'Labor's biggest problem is unen- ployment. The per cent. immi- grafton law aided in cutting down un- employment in America. but labor favors complete stopping of immigra- ton. There are 100000 unemploy- ed in the country's today"
 Morrison asserted that Judge FL bert Gary and Charles Schwab have been leaders in stressing a shortage of labor. while. he evers, Department O1 b4DOT SIatiSLicS CfO not reveal even a shortage of common labor.

Los Angeles, Dec. 3O.-"Los An geles is adding to its population a while city the size of Fort Worth, Texas; Cambridge, Mass, or Albany, New York. For two years there has been constantly in course of con- s.ruction 1000 buildings"
 Tli sastoundtng statement is quot ed from Southern California Busi- ness, official publication Of the Cham her of Commerce.
 Continuing, the article says:
 New buildings are being complet- ed at the rate of one every 20 min utes. To carry on this work it is es- timated that at least 145,O00 persons are constantly engaged in building operations.
 ''The buildings completed so far this year. each placed on a 50-foot lot, would make g. street 190 miles long, built solid on both sides of the street.
 The building permits for 1920 they ran up to $s2,761,ss6, and for $115. 900. .00ONmark.
 This makes total of S243,7S4,- 9S6 Tor the three years, and is about the total of the assessed valuation of all Los Angeles property 12 years ago. In other words, in three years the city has added new buildings eQnual to the assessed value of all the property in the city up to 1910. This is a record that will stand out in the worlds building history"
