Columbus, o. (OLNS).-All United

American Federation of Labor Unions,
United States Housing Administrator
Nathan Straus announced in Washing
ton last week.
Ninety local Building Trades Coun-
cils involving 800 Unions have signed
such agreements, Straus announced,
assuring non-interruption of the $685.,
SSS,SS9 low rent program by disputes
between contractors and the Unions.
4 detailed forecast of the dollars
and-cents effect on labor of erecting
14S,000 dwelling units was released by
Strauss, showing that 75.5 per cent of
the money will be spent in wages for
actual construction work and in fabri-
eating industries.
The present USHA program will
provide 10000 men with continuous
work at construction sites or prepar-
ing building materials until early 1941.
Wage earners will receive 26S, 500 900

brought the issue to showdown at the
federation's 1895 convention. When
they were defeated by a two-thirds
vote Of the delegates, they refused to
abide by the decision Of the conven-
ton and rebelled.
Thus the CIO was born. 1t is not
proposed here to review the history Of

that the American Federation of La
Dor refused to bow down to minority
dictation. 1t held fast to its princi-

tanned it's voluntarism and democratic
methods.
And today the American Federation
of Labor stands more powerful and
more united within it's ranks than ever

in solid phalanx on the road to prog
ress, loyal to it's traditions and ever
seeking new opportunities for service
