cesca named her sand
John Armanti. The New Jersey
girls put John Armanti at the
top of their list.
Eighteen-year-old John told all
in a police station. With a con-
federate whose name he didn't
know, he went to Central Park
to make some easy money.
Glowing with the consciousness
of work well done, Editor Leach
strode briskly along a park path.
He had just dashed off ringing
anti-crime editorial.
John grabbed Leach "and the
other guy socked hm." The "other
guy" got $40, Leach's watch and
chain and knife. John got $40.
And police, through the little
Red Book, "got" John.

PNA To HELP
D. c. HOUSING
PROJECT
Ickes Likely to Supply Funds
Denied to Commissioner
Allen by McCarI
BY EARL GOODWIN

The Roosevelt Administrators S
housing program for the DISTRICT
of Columbia, did not come to an
end with the decision Of Comptrol'
Ter General McCarl prohibiting
the use of emergency relief money
for the building or houses as
planned by Commissioner Allen.
The Public Works Administra'
tion's long forgotten $4,3OO,OOO
housing program, 10 times as big
as Commissioner Aliens, is creep
ing along and has arrived at the
stage where two definite projects
have been planned in the PWA
offices.
In addition, Secretary Ickes
gave a broad hint that if Commits
sioner Allen conferred with PWA
officials a way might be found to
use PWA funds in the same hous'
ing scheme that was denied the use
of Federal money from the Fed
eral Emergency Relief Administra-
ton.
Would Help Relief
Commissioner Allen has taken
the position that relief rolls could
be reduced much more quickly by
his direct-work scheme than by
the PWA methods of putting out
the work to contractors who would
employ union labor.
Commissioner Allen was in
formed of Secretary Ickes' in
vitation to look into the fea.S-
ability of using PWA funds in
stead of emergency funds. Com
missioner Allen said that he in
tended to accept the invitation
and would at least examine into
the matter.
The PWA housing scheme for
Washington, D. c., has progressed
to the point where two neighbor-
hoods, the locality of which has
not been divulged, have been
chosen for a large number of
homes that the PWA hopes to
rent or sell on terms at about IS
to 81 per month per room. In
other cities where the PWA hous-
ing project is going forward the
homes are three-story walk;1p

The funds turned over to the

Probable developments include:
l. Prevention of an automobile
strike.
2. Continuation of efforts to COM
promise the railway wage dispute.
3. Submission Of the Werton
Steel case to the courts.
4. Progress in raising hourly wage
rates and reducing hours of labor.
The railway dispute is stubborn.
1t may yet disrupt industrial peace
efforts. Miners in the Appalachian
bituminouS fields confront operators
with a demand for a seven-hOur, So
day. There are numerous lesser
labor controversies.
Policy May Be Fixed.
But President Roosevelts auto
motive settlement may have roper
cuSsions far beyond that industry.
Capital will find in it desired as
surances regarding administration
attitude toward the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor. Many employers
have feared and resented what they
interpreted as an effort to force the
federation into their plants.
Unless the pending Wagner BILL
in effect outlaWing company unions,
is enacted by congress, the pro-
visions of the automobile code set
Element probably will become fixed
administration policy on union rep
reservation.
Employers have been nervous since
March z, when recovery administra-
tor Hugh S. Johnson warned of I'M
pending strikes and accompanied
sharp reputation of company
unions by a deliberate friendly
gesture to the A. F. of L.
Speaking before the general NRA
code authority conference, he said:
Johnson Favors A. F. of L.
I'VE have got to accord labor the
rights collective bargaining) guar
anteed by this act. There is no
law prohibiting a company union
as such if there is no interposition
whatever by employers and if the
men freely choose it. But SO times
out of 100, you and I know this is
not the case.
L want to tell you this for your
comfort: 1 know your problems. 1
would rather deal with Bill Green,
John Lewis, Ed McGrady, Mike
Marlborough, George Berry and a
host of others 1 could name, than
with any F'rankenstein that you
may build up under the guiSe of
company union"
Some employers were frightened
and some were enraged by the refer
ence to five of the most prominent
organized labor leaders in the coun-
try.
Capital Is Cheered
But the automobile settlement
seems to have ended uncertainty
over Mr.. Roosevelt's attitude toward
the A. F. of l..
The agreement provides for I'M
qualified proportional representation
whereby employees in any single
plant may join either federation or
company unions. The fact that
similar proportional representation
is provided in the captive coal mines
labor agreement indicates it is no
chance eXpedient.
1t represents definite administra-
ton policy backed up by the state
ment that the government ''favors
no particular union or particular
form of employe organization or
representation"
That will cheer capital.
