CORPORATION TO
 CLEAN UP SLUMS
Hundreds of Millions to Be Spent in New Way By
 Government

Washington, Oct. 10 - (UP) - Esta ablishment of new federal corporation to spend hundreds of millions of dollars for slum clear ance and housing projects Is being seriously contemplated by the pub lie works administration, Admin istrator Ickes said today.
 Ickes said if the corporation ;s formed 1t will go into private sec- tions of each city and build low cost homes for families now liv- ing in slums. The program would be entirely independent for any municipal project being considered by the public works administra- tion.
 The new corporation would either condemn or purchase rights for the housing project. Ickes said he believed the public works ad- ministration had full congressional authority to carry out such action.
 Persons who moved into the homes constructed with public works funds would pay rent direct to the proposed corporation.
 Ickes said housing projects, meet with the approval of the public works administration not only be- cause they are self liquidating and result in a definite sociological benefit but because they provide a great deal of quick direct em- ployment.
 Plans for the, formation of the new corporation have been drawn up tentatively by the legal section of the P. w. A. with the coopera- tiont of Robert Kohn, head of the housing division.

LABOR FORCES IN CLASH OVER THE
 BREWERY UNION
Annual Convention of the American Federation
 Held at Capital
BY H. o. THOMPSON United Press Stan Correspondcnt)

Washington, Oct. 10 -- (UP) - The first open controversy of the 53rd annual convention of the American Federation of Labor was fought out on the convention floor today in a dispute between sup porters of craft and industrial methods for organizing the brew ing industry.
 The convention approved reso- lution calling upon all members Of the federation to work for ratifica- ton of the child labor amendment, Fifteen states already have ap- proved the amendment.
 William R. Trotter, of the Inter- national Typographical union. warned In discussing the resolution that labor should not be content with the child labor provisions of codes, but should press for inclu- sion of the child labor amendment In the constitution.
 Trotter quoted from the trade publication Editor and Publisher to support his assertion that tho American Newspaper Publishers association was fighting the child labor amendment because 1t would interfere with employment of news boys.
 "The printing and publishing in- dustry Is willing to have every other industry eliminate child labor he said, but wants special privileges for itself"
 The convention adopted resolu. tons condeming public school re- trenchments and pledging aid to child labor amendment, before turning to the hot jurisdictional fight among the various unions or ganizing brewery workers.
 The committee on adjustment brought in a report favoring the craft unions as opposed to the boarder International Union of United Brewery Works, which set out before prohibition to organize all classes of workers in the in- dustry.
 The other unions involved are the International Union of Operat- ing Engineers. the Brotherhood of Teamsters. Chauffeurs, Stablemen. and Helpers, and the International Brotherhood of Bremen and oil CTS.
 Joseph Obergfell, secretary-treas- ury of the Brewery workers, wig orously denounced the committees report and the part played by the Federation's Executive council Obergfeil maintained that accep. tance of the committees report would amount to surrender oi powers to the Executive council which would make that body a dictator for all Federation affairs
 Obergfell declared his union should be allowed to proceed with organization of all kinds of work. CTS employed In the breweries, in. stead of having them segregated into craft unions.
