WASHINGTON, D. CAS- the
result of a careful examination of
the housing situation, in the United
States, the American Federation of
Labor Monthly Survey of Business
concludes that the construction of
at least 100000 homes annually
until 1915 is imperatively necessary
to provide decent homes for the
workers and their families.
From an equally sareful exami-
nation of the past and present
achievements of the building in
dustry the Survey reaches the con-
clusion that private industry is ut
terly incapable of meeting the crisis
in house construction and that
therefore a broad government plan
to give financial assistance to low
cost housing projects is absolutely
necessary.
