HOME BUILDING BY
CO-OPS FOR ITALY
Thousands Gather In Conclave
to Review Work of
Workmen's Society.

ROME, Feb. Thousands Of
delegates from all parts of Italy
gathered today for the second an
nual congress OF the National Fed
GRAFTON OF Cooperative for Work
mems Houses and Economic Apart
meuts.
The congress will be one Of the
most important held at Rome this
year Experts from countries who
have visited Italy the past year have
unanimously recognized that Italy
has made greater progress to-
wards solving the present lodging
crisis by means of workmen's houses
and cooperative apartments than
any other European nation.
Two contributing elements have
made this possible. The first has
been the extent TO which all Italian
classes are now organized into CO.
operatives and the second has been
the liberaity with which the gov
eminent has financed these organ
izations for the construction OF
houses.
The lead in this direction was
first taken by state employees, Of
which Italy numb ers an unusually
high percentage. They have been
followed by the employees Of all
other branches Of the government.
In turn they were quickly followed
by building coopcratives Of all the
various labor syndicates and pro
fessions, either organized or Unor-
sanized. Some idea of the extent
that cooperation for building pur-
poses has been carried out and the
financial aid that is extended by the
state can be gathered from the
plans Of Italian newspaper men and
journalists generally. Those at
Rome have organized and secured
from the state an advance of 7.OOO,-
900 lire for the construction OF a
whole suburb OF the city 20 be Civ
en- over entirely 20 apartments, viii
las and houses for Journalists
For the bourgeois and other class
es who dislike the idea OF cOopera-
tives. the housing program has been
solved I'm much the same way by
private capital.
