HOME LOAN MOVES
TO PROTECT TITLES
New Working Arrangements Are
Completed With Companies
in California.

Increased title protection to the
Home Owners Loan Corporation on
loans in California Is obtained as the
result of a new working arrangement
Just consummated with title COM
panies of the State. according to an
announcement by the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board of Washington.
Under the new plan every title
policy written on a property securing
a corporation loan will contain a spe-
cial clause insuring the corporation
against loss through violation Of COW
enants, conditions or restrictions to
which the property may be subject,
or citing these contingencies.
In addition, the agreement provides
for withdrawal by title companies OF
claims for title services hitherto per-
formed in all cases where loans will
not ultimately be completed by the
corporation.
A new schedule of rates authorizes
the California Offices of the corpora
ton to pay title companies their
standard fees on corporation work,
charges which the board states are
reasonable and in line with those
prevalent in the title business
throughout the country. Previously,
the title concerns had been accepting
corporation assignments at special
rate which was found unsatisfactory
because Of the losses incurred through
non payment in cases where the loans
were not eventually closed. The COM
panies have agreed to continue on
the new basis for at least two years.
Instructions from the board to
Charles M Potter. special representa-
tive of the corporation in charge Of
the California Office, state that the
allotment OF title work should be
strictly on the basis of merit and
service and that no discrimination
should be permitted. All qualified and
licensed companies operating under
N. r. A. code In California are eligible
for assignment.

Architecture Governs Paint.

When selecting paint for your
house, the size Of the home, its
style of architecture. the general sur
roundings, lsndscaping and the COL
ors of adjacent houses should always
be considered. Strong. bright colors
give prominence to the building, ac-
centuating the small house. while
neutral shades are better suited for
larger homes.

Great Paintings Disappearing.

Some Of Tire worlds greatest paint

through the years because the colors

it Is reported. A notable example Is
the famous Last Supper" of Leonardo

the durability Of paints.

Three Coats Paint Needed

At least three coats of paint should

relief workers, who struck two weeks
ago demanding adequate relief and
against discrimination and favorit-

three months.
The strikers, who recently as
sumed rank and file control, are de-
handing "a hour week at union
rates not less than SIS cents an hour,
plus additional relief for large
families, single workers to receive
not less than IL hours work week.
Through mass pressure, the City
Council has been forced to with
hold all city supervision on work

granted. Politicians and local I'M

joining forces in an attempt to
smash the strike.

We repeat that these headlines
are picked at random from various
recent issues of the Daily Worker.
Were one to make a survey of the
principal capitalist dailies for one
week and pick out the news stories
reporting the use of violence and
suppression against workers, en-
ployed and unemployed, strikers and
demonstrators, one would get pic
ture which, in most other capitalist
countries would mean the existence
of civil war.
In this country, still the richest
in the world, organization and
struggle for even the smallest de-
mands and reforms is met with
open and organized force by the
various official and semi-official
government agencies. Police vio-
lence has long been a commonplace.
Today it is evident in more brutal
form in the smallest struggles of
workers.
This violence is ruling class vio-
lence. Defense by workers of them
selves and their organizations
against these attacks is branded as
treason by Professor Moley and the
anti working class officials, of the
government and of the unions,
whom he advises. The red scare"
is one of the most important parts
of the technique of suppression.
Is President Roosevelt unaware of
what is being done in the name of
sacred American institutions to
Communists, to militant workers
throughout this country?
In the next article we will
show that almost a year ago
President Roosevelt had the in
disputable facts of the rising
campaign of brutality and sup
preston. of the systematic denial
of workers rights laid before
him.

CHICAG, July 2.-Twenty-seYen
locals of American Federation Of
Labor Unions and Railroad Brother
hoods united in the struggle for the
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill at a trade union conference
here Sunday.
Seventy delegates, representing
the local unions, unanimously en-
dorsed the Workers Bill and made
plans for the carrying forward of
the fight for its passage. An ac-
ton committee composed of repre-
sentatives of every local present at
the conference Sunday was set up
to carry on the fight.
Large committees of 20 to so
members were elected to demand
endorsement of the Workers Bill
from the City Council and the Chi
cago Federation of Labor. A del
egation was also instructed to at
tend the A. F. of L. convention in
San Franci SEQ to work for endorse
ment Of the bill there.
The Conference approved the work
of the A. F. of L. Rank and File
Committee for Unemployment In
surance unanimously.
Delegates after delegates took the
floor during discussion and told
stories of the vicious attempts of
A. F. of L. leaders to crush any
movement for genuine unemploy-
ment insurance. A typical example
Of these reports was made by del
egate of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers Of America, Local IA.
He told how five locals of the A.
G. w. endorsed the Workers Bill
and then found themselves faced
with the opposition Of the Joint
Board.
Other unions were threatened with
expulsion if they sent delegates to
Sundays conference. The whole
discussion showed that throughout
the trade union movement in Chi
cago the rank and file sentiment
for the bill was overwhelming, but
the leadership was using terrorism
to keep that sentiment from being
expressed.
A partial list of unions repre-
scented at the conference is: 2 rail-
road brotherhood lodges, painters
locals, 2 machinistS locals, 2 of the
bakers, 2 upholsters locals, car
penters' locals, granite cutters, me-
tai polishers and dozen other
union groups.
Plans for the holding of a great
symposium on the Workers Unem-
ployment Insurance Bill with con-
gressional candidates of every poll
tical party asked to state their
views were made. Also it was de-
cided to demand the use of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor radio
station, w. c. F. L. for one hour
debate on the relative merits of the
Wagner and Workers Bill.
A resolution was passed de-
handing the immediate release of
Thaelmann, leader of the German
working class.

Meanwhile provocative bombings,
on which are based arrest and ter

police force with special powers
political police-is bedfellow of
Green and Vol, who appeal openly
and covertly for the establishment
of the same kind of special federal
suppressive organization. All of
them are greatly worried, they
claim, by the impotence" of the
federal government in regard to
Communist activities.
But it is plain from the Durno
quotation that the federal govern
ment is maintaining a spy service
against workers organizations.
Therefore, what Moley, VOL and
Green want Is more of 1t. The pro-
vocative attempts to raise the cd
issue of Moscow gold" and hold
the Soviet government responsible
for the great and growing mass
struggles in this country is on a
par with the rest of their hints, in
situations and demands for legal
and violent suppression of these
mass struggles and of the Commu-
mist Party.
These gentlemen want the fed
eral government to take hold of
and direct the. scores of armed at
tacks on and arbitrary jailings of
workers and farmers, Negro and
white, native and foreign born.
Professor Moley complains that
the Communist press is full of &C
counts of street violence" But
any cub reporter knows that it is
impossible today to write truthfully
about the attempts of American
workers to defeat the capitalist
drive against their living standards
and basic political rights without
telling about the ceaseless violent

of gangsters and fascist elements
