TO BOOST BUILDING TRADE
CONTINUED from Page y

Continued from Page u
TO provide the basis for Sl,000,-
100000 of private funds obtainable
through the sale of national mort
gage association debentures."
8. Extension OF FILA features to
allow increase of small property
loans from 80 to 90 per cent and
reduction of interest rates from
614 to 5l2 or 54 per cent, depend
ing on the property evaluation.
4. Expansion of FILA to cover
loans UP to 100000 on large-scale
building projects instead of the
present $4,000 limitation. This
extension would be contingent upon
the requirement that the mort
gage does not exceed $1,000 a room
on the structure or structures.
5. Liberalization of existing linn
tied dividend requirements of the
act, releasing dwellings in this cat
egory from blanket mortgages
where the mortgage does not ex-
ceed $1,000 a room and the value
of the dwelling is not in excess
of s5,0o0,00O.
6. Revival OF insurance provi-
sions for repair and modernization
loans similar to those provided by
FHA up to last April l.
Mariner S. Eccles, chairman of
the board of governors of the fed
eral reserve system and chairman
of the informally constituted hous-
ing committee appointed by the
president emphasized the program
will not require any addition ap-
preparation.
He said the plan did not contem-
plate any competition with private
enterprise except in the case OF
very large loans and that business
would be given its full chance to
avail itself of opportunity in this
field.

of Mr.. Roosevelt's plan, including
some details not mentioned in the
message but which will be con-
tanned in the administration mea-
sure when Wagner presents it.
What is being undertaken here" !"
he said, lis in line with the sue
cessful experience of Great Britain
and other countries. If we can low
er interest rates and construction
costs we will place home owner
ship within the. reach of families
previously barred
He said the administration eX-
pected to request state governments
TO amend existing unfair" fore
closure laws and take other mea-
sures to facilitate the construction
revival.
Eccles said that while Mr.. Roose-
velt mentioned existing high labor
costs he proposed no concrete way
Of reducing them.
I'VE hope 20 crystalline public
attention on the problem" he said.
"It becomes practicable under this
program for builders to undertake
large scale projects. TO buy large
volumes of materials at wholesale
prices, and thus to assure labor
Of an annual wage at higher level
than present yearly income in re-
turn for reduced hourly rates. This
is a problem to be worked out

FOR ALASKA ARE CANCELLED
 DUE STRIKE
Operators Say Were Not Consulted By Stewards When They Voluntarily Walked Off Ships Allow
 Others Chance to Work

SEATTLE. Nov. l9-Steamship operators announced the cancell- ation of passenger sailings to Al aska, pending the willingness of the Marine Cooks and Stewards Association of the Pacific Coast to conform to it's agreement with us"
 To Union demand the Stew ards work is to be rotated among unioniStS for benefit of the job less stewards. The operators re- piled that this was to prevent them from observing Federal saf- ety requirements. We have no alternative other than to cease for the present the operation of our passenger vessels.
 The arbitrary change in the en- tire personnel of the Stewards department on each voyage as demanded by the Union, is in dis regard of it's agreement, which provides that the men may con- tinue their employment without interference by the Union, which would result in the vessels sail ing with more than a majority of the crew and personnel chang ed each voyage"
