TREND TO STEEL
IN HOME BUILDING
Pre-Fabricated Structures
Receiving Attention in Ma.
tionaI Housing Program.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 10.-A
steel-framed house, of which only the
framework is made of steel, requires
about u tons of steel for each room.
A steel-panel house, in which the thin
sheets Of floor or wall panels are made
of steel, naturally utilities more OF
that metal. Steel-covered houses en-
ploy steel merely to finish inside or
outside surface material.
When the steel trade talks about
"steel houses" it may be referring to
steel-framed, steel-paneled, or steel
covered houses. Just now the steel
trade is talking about pre-fabricated
steel houses, because that type of
housing opens up a possible market
for 100000 tons Of steel year, or
tenth of the rolled steel and iron
production Of the United States. This
is as much as is now used for struc-
tural shapes, used in buildings,
bridges, and other structures.
Interest Created.
This explains the great interest
that steel, one of the basic industries,
is taking in the national housing pro-
gram, designed to hasten industrial
recovery through stimulation Of the
heavier industries, in which today ex-
lists the great bulk of unemployment.
Steel as a building material has
had a history just the reverse Of that
of other materials. Stone and wood
were used first in small structures
and then in large ones. Steel, how
ever, made its debut in skyscrapers.
It has been so firmly associated with
skyscrapers in the public mind that
most people do not realize steel might
be used just as efficiently in a five
room house.
When the factory-made house was
introduced, the United States was in
a wooden age. Naturally this pre-
cut house" was of wood. Cement and
cinder blocks were the next materials
tried on a factory made basis. Steel
was the last of the materials, aside
from those newly invented, to be ex-
perimented with for housing.
The steel industry was too busy
making rails, shapes for bridges, nails,
wire rods. plates and sheets for auto
mobiles and other mass-production
items to do research work on what
might prove to be only a retail out
let. Steel research never has been
as progressive as that Of many other
industries.
60 Home Building Methods.
There are said to be about 60
different methods Of building houses
with steel. The old-fashioned ways
contrast with the up-to-date methods
used on the 80-story Empire State
Building in New York. If the build
ers of the Empire State Building had
used the same slow methods Of con-
struction as those employed on the
average five-room house, which usual
ly takes three months to build, the
skyscraper could not have been COM
pleted in is months.
The steel industry, as an industry,
is doing nothing to promote the use
of steel for housing. The various
steel institutes have collected data
on methods of building steel houses,
but have acted only as clearing in
formation bureaus. They have not
tackled this problem with the in
strument of organized industrial re-

MOTHER OF TEN RISKS LIFE
TO SAVE MAN

NEW YORK CITY-(CNA)-Mrs.
Rosina Mcknight, 38 year old Negro
mother Of ten children, risked her life
on July 10Th to save a sick man who
had fallen on the tracks of a B. NJ. I.
station. The man was James Nc
Keen. Overcome with illness, he
pitched forward and fell off the sub
way platform where he lay exposed to
the perils of an approaching train.
Mrs. Mcknight jumped after him.
She strained every muscle to pull him
out from between the rails. On the
platform frightened spectators stood
glued, no one thinking of helping.
But Ms. Mcknight heard the fast
approaching train without a tremor.
She pulled out her white handkar-
chief, ran down the tracks and flag
ged the train. Motorman Harry
Solder, coming to a sudden stop,
helped remove the unconscious Nc
Keen to the platform.
Ms. Mcknight had no time to be
a heroine. She declared she had to
get home to cook supper for her ten
children.

E DANGERING FUTURE


According to spokesmen for workers in the coal mines, the biiondolar
coal industry, which yer in these times employs upward Of 100000 men,
is destined to pay a minor part in the future industrial life OF thenation
if the Federal governments program for the development of needless
hydro electric projects is continued.
The great government hydroeIechic projects (nfus inevitably destroy
a n enormou market for coal 1T existing steam generating stations and
cause as unemployment among miners and railroad workers Also it
es said that the output of the government hydro plants will b1ut an electric
mower market already served served far in excess of existing demands. AS
a result a wider market for the surplus energy will have to be sought among
man coal users thus further. dispacIug use # coz in industry homes.
These objections to the hydro program are important, when government
effort is alegedy directed Ito providing jobs. Many millions of mi are out
of work and now thousands more are threatened with lss Of employment.
Every time a loses his income, it is felt throughout the industrial
structure-his purchasing power is gone, and he 40 longer bays the myriad
articles that factories produce.
There is no dearth of electric energyin an section of this country, and
in most area a fair priced publicly regulated supply is close to vice the
demand. Engineers have said that some nf the proposed government
projects are even of doubtful practcany-in ease of drouth they would be
rendered useless

CNA.-In all the ANIMALS of base
betrayal there is hardly to Be found
a more d~astardly deed than the latest
vicious attempt. Of the Pittsburgh
Courier and the NAACP. officials to
destroy the defense of the nine in
nocent Scottsboro. Boys.
In a foul and sIanderous editorial
the Pittsburgh Courier declares:
""Fhese Inflated Negroes might pos
si6Iy have won a new trial if it had
not been for the. negligence of the
Scettsboro Defense attorneys"
But these reformist Negro traitors
know that the appeal was filed with
the statutory 80 days from the date
when Judgment was entered on Dec.
6 Ia the handwriting of Judg. Cal
lahan. They know that the upoding
of Knights motion on this point by
the Alabama Supreme Court was so
patiently fraudent that it has been
compelled to back water. Moreover,
they know that the defense has sucz
ceeded in defeating all tn vile man
uver Of the Alabama lynch officials,
and have forced a stay of execution
for Haywood Patterson and Clarence
Norris.
But this editorial with
ghoulish glea, 4They seem to be
doomed. All Of the mass meetings
in all of the capitals of Europe, Asia
and Africa cannot save them ="
This is a repetition of the Preacher
u action Of the Pittsburgh Courier
when the appeals Of seven of the
S~eottsboro Boys were first brought
before the Alabama Supreme Court.
Then the Courier proclaimed: "Tha
boys have sealed their own doom.
We leave them to their poor judg-
ment and the lid. May God have
mercy on their souls" Now they re-
peat the same vicious prayer not to
any good, but to the lynch officials
to burn nine innocent Scottsboro
Boys.
Yet these traitors pretend to be-
friend the Scottsboro Boys, whom
they thus deliver over to the lynchers
The same issue of this filthy news
paer carries a etter it claims to have
received from Clarence Norrie, thank
ng tn Pittsburgh Courier for "alI
they have done for me in these try
ing days" But this letter bears on
its face unmistakable evidence of the
vicious forgery by which it was pro-
duced.
These forgers would have Us believe
that Clarence Norris writes not of
NE, but Of HIM. These tools Of the
lynch oppressors would like to make
the Negro people believe that Cla-
renee Norris accepts and resigns hm-
self to his own lynch murder in the
electric chair, and writes glowingly
about it!

THE STATES


Uniform traffic laws and ordinanc
es in all states are vital to any move
ment designed to reduce the number
Of deaths and injuries as well as the
economic loss chargeable annually to
automobile accidents fact that was
e~mphacized by the lecent Fourth Ma
tional Conference on Street and High
way safety.
With Secretary of Comm rec Roper
presiding, the Conference approved
a model Uniform Vehicle Cod, which
all states ask to copy or adopt.
First in Importance in this Code is
q Model Operators and Chauff aurs'
License Act which requires examin
hation or test before awarding cert
ficates. Twenty one states now have
such a law. Four states give tn
license to private ope ators on appli
cation, and the other states hava no
license al all All but six states have
a minimum age requirement, ranging
from thirteen to eighteen: SEEMINGLY,
the six will permit anybody to grasp
2. wheel or run a car.
Other laws in the Uniform Code
are:
Model Motor Vehicle Administration
Registration and Certificates of Title
and Anti Theft Act: Model Civil
Liability Act: Model Financial Traffic
Ordinance.
Albert w. Whitney, associate Gen
eraI Manager Of the National Bureau
of Casualty and Surtey Underwriters,
who was a member of the committee
which arranged for the Conference said,
in explaining purposes of the uniform
Code:
AS anyone can realize it is vital
for a state to control those it permits
to use its highways. 1t should have
the rigt to say who shall drive in the
place, and then to penalize those
whose driving practices are dangerous
to the lives and limbs of others.
"The other acts of the code are
so reasonable as to recommend them
to every driver"

TAXES! TAXES TAXES

Congress has adjourned. But the
eyes of the public are still turned on
W a%shington. And most of them,
figuratively speaking, are fixed on the
treasury building.
The last Congress-, like it's predecess
or, was extraordinarily expensive. 1t
appropriated billions, and the budget
which has contained a wide gap be
tween income and outgo for some time
is still further out of joint. In brief
Legislative activities of recent months
have done nothing to mitigate the
tax problen-they have made it con
sid1 ably more imposing than it was.
It may be taken for granted that
much of the money appropriated will
serve n good purpose or another.
Perhaps none Of it vii be wasted.
That, at this time, is beside the point.
We are reaching the stage where
business and individuals can no longer
pay heavier tax levies-and where
many relief activities because Of their
cost, r hampering not forwarding
recovery.
Government is precisely like individ
uais. Every citizen knows of useful
things he would like to buy. He can't
buy them because he hasn't the money
1t isn't a ase Of what he wants to do
it is a cease Of what he ccan do with
the lean at his disposal.
We have lost sight of that individual
lied idea Of government spending
and ~statess counties and cities have
been ven worse offenders than the
federal government itself. 1t is I'm
questioned fact that investors are put
ting money into tax free bonds, where
it does nothing for the sake Of indus
try, because of the fear that taxation
willcontinue to take most of the pro
fit out Of private business. Jobs are
lost, factories age closed, homes and
farms are foreclosed, inustrial deve
lopment is brought abrptly to a
halt because of high taxes.
These are facts not hot air. Cost
Of government is our greatest and
growing problem.
