GREEN. PRAISES
UNION LABOR
Old. c.
American Federation Head Is
Honor Guest at Dinner
Here

Loyalty and devotion of union
men residing in this city, many of
whom are in the Government en-
ploy, was praised by William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, at a testi-
monial dinner last night at the
Hamilton Hotel. The new first
vice president, James P. Noenan
was also honored at the gathering.
II have always felt gratified at
the wonderful exhibition of loyalty
and devotion shown by our mem
bership living in the District of
Columbia to the high aims and
purposes of organized labor Pres
ident Green said. MANY of these
members are employed by the Gov
positions, serving unostentatiously
but efficiently in the machinery of
administrative and Governmental
affairs.
''In most instances the wage paid
to this splendid class of workers is
Inadequate, and yet we are all con-
scious of the fact that much eco
nomic and social improvement has
come through the affiliation of this
large body of workers with the
organized labor movement of our
land. We hope that through their
patience and perseverance and
through fidelity to our common
cause, through the exercise of the
moral and economic strength of
the great organized labor movement
they may enjoy better wages and
greatly improved conditions of en-
ployment."
Rumors that the resignation of
Secretary of State Hughes would
make it easy for Soviets in Amer
ica'' were branded as false by Mat
thew Wolf, fifth vice president of
the federation.

own YOUR HOME
IS THRIFT DAY
SLOGAN
Realtors Keep Open House to
Explain Advantages OF
Ownership

This is Gown Your Home" day in
the Thrift Week campaign now un
der way in Washington and in SOC
other cities of the Union. The
realtors of Washington are to hold
open house today and will explain
home ownership. Addresses will
also be made in the public schools,
at the Y. NJ. c. A. central head
quarters and it's various branches,
before civic. business and profess
sfonal clubs, and in the Govern
ment departments and department
stores.
b. h Parker, chairman of the
Own Your Home" committee, in
speaking of home ownership, says:
1.-THE ownership Of a home is
without doubt the greatest single
factor in maintaining a sane and
stable government. A nation of
home owners is insurance of the
stability of government and the
best prescription for the making
of it's citizens.
ITO own a home in which to
live and enjoy the comforts of life
and the fruits of our. labors, is an
essential part Of our life's work
and every one in whatever walk of
life should consider 1t mis- ambition
to some day be a home owner
rather than a rent payer.
"High rents that have recently
prevailed in large cities have made
it increasingly difficult for the
tenant to find a comfortable home
and have also been the means of
forcing him to seek quarters in the
suburbs with the resultant increase
in suburban property values due
to this abnormal demand, but
whether in town or in country,
the economic laws Of supply and
demand will always in the final
analysis regulate the cost oc rent
and the value of real property"
