(By Ohio Labor News Service)

If President Green is unable to at

he will designate a representative
from national headquarters to deliver
his message to the A. F. of L. labor
movement in Ohio.
Reports reaching State Federation
headquarters indicate that there will be
a large representation of Local Unions
at the conference, with more than
1000 delegates expected to be in at
tendance.
The conference will open at 1000
A. M. Sunday, June IL, in the main
ball room of the Neil House, and an
afternoon session will probably begin
at p. m. 4"
Records of all state office and con-
gressional candidates will be inspect

the coming campaign determined, and
a legislative program adopted.

"The program is economical because
it includes not cent of actual appro-
priation and because the loans for
housing and slum clearance are self
liquidating and will be ultimately re-
paid.
Work For Thousands of JObless
"The Importance of the enlarged
housing program to Labor may be
gagged by the fact that it offers direct
employment at the site of the projects
for more than 100000 building trades
mechanics and laborers as we'll as to
some 100000 workers employed in the
production of building materials and
their transportation. This addition of
some 100000 full time jobs will make
employment and purchasing power
available where it is most critically
needed.
"The expanded program will also
benefit the manufacturer and business
generally. We estimate that it will
require 1,50O,O0O,OOO board feet of
lumber; 3,75O,0OO,OO0 bricks; 7,OOO,-
600 barrels Of cement; 6,500,000 gal
Ions of paint; and 100000 tons of steel.
Impressive as these figures are, they
do not reflect the indirect benefits to
business generally through accelera-
tion of economic activity and the en-
largement of the purchasing power
of the workers.
Decent Housing For Million Now Liv-
ing In SlumS
"Most important of all is the perma-
nent social usefulness of the program
the primary purpose of which is to
provide wholesome, decent housing to
100000 families - nearly 100000
men, women and children-who now
live in overcrowded, disease-ridden
slums and fire-trap tenements.
One of the provisions of the bill es-
sential to make the program imme-
diately effective is the temporary sus.
pension of the requirement that 10 pei
cent Of loan money for construction
be raised locally from local investors
This temporary elimination of the in.
evitable delay incident to the fiotatior
of such loans by local municipalities
IS the most important single factor
which would make it possible to make
the program effective without delay.
Slum Dwellers and JObless Must Not
Be the Victims of Treason
This measure which is now pending
final approval Of Congress must be
promptly enacted. To the nation faceC
with the responsibility Of human wei
fare in year of need, every day
counts heavily. The unemployed work
ers whom this program offers rea
jobs must not be permitted to remain
idle.
"Organized Labor throughout the
nation is confident that this measure
will be given prompt final approval fol
it cannot regard failure to do so a!
other than treason to the great mas.
of our families who now live in slum
as well as treason to the more tha,
100000 wage earners who are still
without jobs"

it does some of its counting on the
cash register. In the South, from
22.4 per cent to 27.6 per cent of re-
liefers are huddled two or more in a
room, while in the east, only 3.4 per
cent to 5.2 per cent are so crowded.
What the report tells to labor, be-
sides other things, is that all build
ing trades workers and all workers
supplying building materials would
be kept busy for years building out
the housing disgraces revealed.

SALES TAX FOR LOUISIANA

New Orleans (ILNS).-The sales
tax bill has been passed by the House
of Representatives in the state legis-
lature and will pass the Senate. The
bill provides a straight one per cent
tax on everything sold or consumed
in the state of Louisiana. There is an
extra one per cent tax for the city
of New Orleans, making two per cent
for the Crescent City.

The report of the survey shows that
north and south, Negroes are more
crowded and have worse toilet facili-
ties.

economic pressure shows itself, not
uniformly, but decidedly. Here is a

Green 1nterprets
Printers Election
Says Howdrd's Defeat BY
Baker Is Reputation
Of the CIO

Washington, D. Civilian Green,
president of the American FEEDER rIon
of Labor, issued the following state
ment on the victory of Claude M.
Baker over Charles P Howard for the
presidency of the International Typos
graphical Union:
81 congratulate the union printers
of the nation on their success in re-
moving from control of their organ
ization termite President who sought
to bore from within and destroy an
outstanding American Federation Of
Labor union.
"The election of Baker represents
triumph for honesty over hypocrisy.
Baker stood four-square for loyalty to
the American Federation of Labor.
Howard tried to remain as President
of the I. 7. U. while continuing to
serve as secretary of the c. I. 0. The
printers showed what they thought Of
such double-dealing.
"The result constitutes smashing
reputation of the C. l. o. by one of
the most intelligent bodies of union
members in the country. Put to the
democratic test of the ballot, the C. l.
o. again went down to inglorious de-
feat.
81 defy the C. I. O. to call this a
moral victory A few more such
moral victories as the Pennsylvania
primaries and the /. T. U. elections
and the c.. l. o. will be wiped off the
map.
"The American Federation of Labor
is now stronger and more united in
purpose than ever before in it's his
tory"

construction and material supply conA
Germs stimulated.
Through the construction of new
state institutional buildings, Governor
Davey pointed out that not only would
men be provided with work, but pres
ent crowded conditions would be
eliminated, and the state would care
for eight thousand probated cases for
whom there is now no room in state
institutions.
With adequate institutions, Cover
nor Davey estimated that the state
could save approximately $1,00O,000
each year on insane persons now con-
fined in private institutions at a cost
Of $3.50 per day, as compared to the
IS cents per day cost of maintaining
patients in state hospitals.
A measure providing for the direq
appropriation of $1,000,000 from thu
general revenue fund for a building
program as state mental hospitals
during 193S-39 was introduced in the
Senate, as a means of eliminating the
confinement Of insane in private in
stitutions.
