F. H. A. AIDS BUILDERS
Contractors and Dealers Benefited
by Insured Mortgage.

While the insured mortgage system
of the Federal Housing Administra-
ton was designed primarily to aid the
home owner, building contractors and
dealers benefit directly from it.
When a home-building project is
financed by a bank or other private
financial institution under the terms
of the national housing act, those
concerned with it are paid in full
when the house is completed. Con-
tractors and builders need not be
concerned with notes or second
mortgages. Their own capital may
be conserved for the operation of their
own businesses.

ure would be poison. His plan calls
for q demonstration Of mass psychol-
ogy on a grand scale, such as brought
thousands of miners to his United
Mine Workers banner during the or
ganization campaign under N. r. A.
One Of the Lewis exploits during
that period was the organization of
10000 coal miners of Southern West
Virginia, although they were legally
prevented by "yellow-dog" contracts
from joining any union and the
U. M. w. was legally prevented by
court injunction from accepting them
into membership. Under the vague
assurance that the N. r. A. permitted
them to join the union. they Joined
in droves, and Lewis succeeded not
only in securing a contract with the
operators recognizing his union and
raising wages, but also the closed shop
and "checkoff," whereby the COM
panies pay the mems dues directly
to the union treasury. The U. M. w.
has been on a firm financial founda-
ton ever since.

sides of the present controversy for
many years, his visits we're not be-
lieved to be of social nature.
While several plans for reconcile
ation have been offered, all of them
have begged down in the slough of
controversy over whether the c. I. o.
shall be disbanded, a consideration
demanded by the council to save its
prestige
While the Green faction might be
willing to go as far as to permit Lewis
to continue his campaign to organize
the steel and rubber workers, and
agree to the industrial form of organ
ization of one union for each plant
regardless of the crafts involved, they
have made the dissolution of the C.
l. o. prerequisite to any agreement.
They feel that this concession must
be made in order to make consistent
their claim that the issue is not in
dustrial versus craft organization, but
majority rule.
Lewis, on the other hand, is said to
hold that once the G. I. o. is dis
banded, the steel and rubber organ
ization campaigns would be under the
domination of the craft group. which
he has frequently accused of de-
featiSt attitude. Actually. several
members of the council have made no
secret in private conversations of their
opinion that Lewis campaign, like
their own in the past, is foredoomed
to failure.
