sticky dirt, the crying children. the
tired, slatternly mother. worn, be-
draegled woman at 81. Around the
house a small patch of cleared land,
an unpainted, sagging barn, lew
thin cattle and parched sheep.
The look of dependency on his face
deepened. He wouldn't, he couldn't
ask Judy to share life like that. He
wondered how he could have thought,
three months ago. of doing it.

When he got downstairs he found
his mother carrying pals OF water
from the COW tank to her vegetable
garden and flower beds. David put his
arm around her. Come on H.
mother" he said, III give them a
good soaking tomorrow night"
II don't mind" she smiled, But the
smile couldn't hide the look OF care
beneath it.
Driving in his battered car to Judy S
house. David reflected bitterly. What
was the use of giving up school and
half killing himself with work, and
irving to be decent? He wasn't any
further now than the wasters in the
heichborhood, who wouldn't work, and
lived by their wits. fishing and hunting
mt of season, and stealing anything
from their neighbors that was loose.

THEY got married whether they
could afford to or not. And expect
ed their wives to get along as best they
could. He thought of Tom McCor-
mick, who was crazy about Judy
Toms father owned the bank in West
brook and half the farms in West
brook County. Tom wouldn't ever
have to worry about whether he could
afford to get married or not.
AS he drove along David kept look
ing at the sky. Dark clouds kept moV-
ing overhead. Almost every twilight
found them gathered there But
neither prayers nor cussing helped tc
bring rain down.
At Judy's house it was the same
story. They didn't know what they
we're going to do if the rain didn't
come. And new barn just built that
had to be paid for
David could see that Judys mother
was as worried as his own, and tried
TO cheer her up by telling her that
things weren't so bad.

GREEN WARNS
OF REVOLUTION
Unless Government Meets
Peoples Needs

Washington, D. c. (ILNs)-Wil-
liam Green, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, warns that
revolution breaks the deadlock" when
government is not able to adapt itself
to changing conditions.
In an editorial in The American
Federationist, President Green de-
clares that a serious situation" has
arisen as a result of recent supreme
court decisions declaring laws uncon-
stitutional
THE supreme court has declared
that congress cannot enact law to
promote social welfare or to regulate
industries" he said
This is a serious situation. His
tory Of other nations shows that when
government becomes too rigid to
meet changing needs, revolution
breaks the deadlock. To escape violent
remedy, we must work ways to govern
under changing conditions without
abandoning our democratic institu-
tions"

national industrial union for that in

In declining to accept the salary
increases, President Lewis declared
that the officers were not serving the
union for mere gain, and that they
would carry on with all their strength
and ability at their present pay.
Washington was selected as the
city for the 1888 convention.
Outstanding Decision
The convention, in sessions lasting
two weeks, accomplished an immense
amount of work Perhaps outstand-

cisions were:

delegates pledging their united and

UNION
REPRESENTATIVES
Urge Government Housing
Subsidy

Washington, ID. C. (ILNS)-Agree-
ment on a national housing program,
to include federal subsidies to pro-
mote housing for low-income families,
was reached here by representatives
of building trades labor and the labor
housing conference.
The program also includes estab-
lishment of a permanent federal hous-
ing agency, enforcement Of adequate
construction standards and payment
of prevailing rates Of wages.
The program was set forth in
declaration adopted by heads OF the
building trades department Of the
American Federation of Labor, spokes-
men for building unions and the la
Dor housing conference represented by
Miss Catherine Bauer, executive sec
retary. The declaration will form the
basis of campaign by morethan 60
labor housing committees affiliated
with the labor housing conference.
The statement Of the union repre-
sentatives said that despite the rosy
talk" about building boom, the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics shows that
the nation has not even attained one
fifth Of the average level of residen
tial production Of the 1920's.
Building Unemployment High
Since 1882, it was said, about two
thirds of the building trades workers
have been unemployed. As represen-
tatives of unemployed building work
ers and Of millions of families unable
to find decent quarters in which TO
bring up their children the union
spokesmen insisted on the following
essentials of a building program:
First, there must be permanent
federal housing agency, with the re-
sponsibility, the power and the means
to see that adequate low-rental hous-
ing is constructed. Thus far many
local housing authorities have been
created, but these are powerless to
act without permanent federal poi
icy and long term, clear-cut federal
program of assistance.
Next, there must be a ciear-cut
system Of federal subsidies. II gen
eral, families with incomes under
$1,000 to $1,000 cannot be housed
without some form Of outright grant
or subsidy. The only agency which
can supply such grants today Is the
federal government.
Local Co Operation Essential
Third, must be local initiative, co
operation and responsibility in hous-
ing construction and management
wherever possible and feasible.2 But
the federal housing agency viii have
to be empowered to construct demon
stration projects wherever there Is
proved need for housing ard loca
authorities are unable on unwilling
to act.
