to build her home. On the top
of a hill amidst a wooded Sec

three bedrooms, two baths, an
immense living room with a
most unusual arrangement OF

an ideal home for family de-

were tiled half way which GER
tainly is great help in keeping
the kitchen presentable. Up.
stairs there were four bedrooms,
all of them bright and airy. A
most attractive feature was the
type of entrances. One on the
front, a second one opening on
the driveway and a third from
the rear of the house. Last, but
not least a porch across the

ATTACK ON SOCIAL
INSURANCE SEEN
Green Fears Drive Against
Roosevelt PIan-Lab0r
Rallies Support.
Nv tfs AzeociAted Press

By The Associated Press.
Organized labor is preparing to
fight of what william Green says
will be strenuous efforts to scuttle
President Roosevelt's social insurance
plans
The American Federation OF Labor
chieftain said in an interview that
already a campaign was taking form
to spike the Presidents unemploy-
ment insurance and old-age pension
ideas
To combat this movement he said
organized labor would throw the
whole weight of its influence" behind
what Mr.. Roosevelt called safeguards
against misfortunes which cannot be
wholly eliminated in this man made
world OF ours"
Local Leaders Start Work.
Already the federation has sent out
the word to local union leaders to use
their influence with members of Con-
gress. Social insurance is expected to
be discussed at length both at the
federation's council meeting here in
August and at the San Francisco con-
yention in October.
Green expects an unemployment
insurance plan similar to that pro-
vided in the Wagner-Lewis bill OF
last session to be recommended by
the President when Congress con-
venes.
That provided a per cent tax on
pay rolls. with an exemption for all
contributions to adequate" State un-
employment insurance funds.
VIII Decide on Plan.
Some time this Fall, Green said, the
federation may decide whether to
favor the reserve or insurance system
Of unemployment benefits. The re-
serve system would compel each en-
ployer to set aside fund to pay un-
employed workers. The insurance
plan would compel employers to take
out State insurance against unem-
ployment and have the State pay the
benefits.
In its last report on the subject,
the Federation's Executive Council
said whatever plan is adopted-we
believe that it should be administered
by the State and all, reserve funds
held and invested by the State"
