ALL STATES AIDED
IN EMPLOYMENT
F. H. A. FIGURES

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). - The
F. H. AS 1888 record of property inn
proyement loan insurance involving
more than 10000 loans amounting to
more than $75,000,000 is viewed by
the Federal Housing Administration
as another important gain in the
achievement of major detectives i'm
provement in housing standards and
conditions and employment of work
ers in the building and allied trades
and industries.
The wide application of this type of
iong-term credit, restored under the
1888 amendments to the National
Housing Act, serves a vital need in
the arrest of property depreciation
through proper maintenance of all
classes of property, dwelling, CONNER
cial, farm and institutional, F. FL. A.
officials say.
The entire 48 states have shared in
the benefits available to property own
ers under the program, F. Fl. A. fig
ures by states show Four states,
California, Michigan, New Jersey and
New York led all others in dollar
volume during July. The total for
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1938-09-09

these was $7,734,339. F. H. A. Off
cials point out that these loans repre-
sent private capital loaned to borrow
ers by lending institutions which have
qualified under the Property Improve
ment Plan of the F. H. A.
The quick impetus which has been
given to this phase Of the Federal
Housing Administration program is
significant, officials say and they be-
lieve that the modernization work cur
rently being carried on will be further
augmented by the type of work Gus
tomarily undertaken during the fall
and early winter, of which plumbing
and heating projects are typical
The several thousand lending insti-
tutions which have qualified with the
F. III. A. to make loans for repairs and
alterations represent practically every
community in the country. Prior to
the passage of the original National
Housing Act, officials said, the sources
of this type of credit were limited, and
the charges for this type of loan were
higher than those permitted under the
f. HI. A. program.

Union Label Is
Mark Of Quality
(From The Brewery Worker)

(From The Brewery Worker)
The American people must learn, if
they do not already know, that the
union label on a product they buy
means it has been made in America.
1t means that the article has been
made with the skill of union labor. 1t
means that the manufacturer is not a
chiseler. 1t means that the article was
produced in a decent place Of business
under favorable sanitary conditions,
and not in the forbidding environment
of a sweatshop. 1t means that the
company which made the article and
is Offering it for sale is willing to pay
living wage and help our country re-
gain the road to recovery.
And if it's the "Red Label" of the
International Union of Brewery Work
men, it means that the beer they are
drinking was made by brewery work
men, men who know their business and
have helped make the reputation Of
the finest beers in the country.

Convention Adopts Resolution Roundy Condemning The
American Labor Party AS Not Representing Organ
lied Labor - Election Of Officers.

Buffalo, N. Y. (ILNS) The sew
enty-fifth convention of the New York
State Federation of Labor closed it's
sessions here by the unanimous re-
election of the incumbent officers.
These are as follows president, George
Meany, New York City; secretary
treasurer, John M. O'Hanlon, Albany;
vice presidents, Frank w. Cummings,
Albany; William McGeory, Yonkers;
Vincent j. Kane, Brooklyn; A. w.
Sherman, Syracuse; John Sullivan,
New York City; Thomas j. Lyons,
New York City; Clarence Conroy, Buff
falo; William E. Brown, Utica; Michael
Mungovan, Rochester; Joseph P. Ryan,
New York City.
The legislative committee, consist
ing of John M O'Hanlon, chairman;
John j. Doyle, Buffalo; Minnie Teitel-
baum, New York City; William I. Ben
mis-, Albany; Theresa SEVERN, Buffalo,
and Moe Rosen, New York City, was
also unanimously reelected
Labor Party Considered
The convention adopted a resolution
roundly condemning the American La
Dor Party as not representing organ
lied labor and as being dominated and
controlled by the C. l. O. President
Meany was authorized to appoint
non partisan political committee of Is
to function in accord with the A. F.
of l.. political policy of support and
elect your friends; oppose and defeat
your enemies"
A resolution, introduced by Vice
President Joseph P. Ryan, arraigned
the present administration of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Act as being a
perversion of the meaning and intent
of the Wagner Act. While debate on
this resolution was probably the most
vigorous of the entire convention, OPP
position was confined to few dele
gates and the resulting vote was over
| whelmingly favorable.
30-Hour Week Endorsed
Another convention action which
brought forth vigorous but entirely
harmonious and enthusiastic support
was that placing the federation on
record for the 30-hour week. This
resolution was appropriately intro
duced by delegates from Electrical
Workers Union No. 8, Of New York
City, which has already achieved this
| objective.
One of the highlights Of the con-
cluding sessions was the address of
Mayor La Guardia Of New York City,
who pied with characteristic eloquence
and vigor for national uniformity of
remedial legislation, pointing out the
disadvantages Of progressive states in
competition with backward states and
sections.
Approximately 80 resolutions were
adopted by the convention and referred
to the executive board for s'considera-
J tion and appropriate action" Among

Geneva (ILNS) Economic changes
in the United States are of vast i'm
portance to the rest of the world, the
International Labor Office Year Book
emphasizes in discussing the world
economic situation. The Year Book,
to be published in September, analyses
the effects, as well as possible causes
of the business recession" in the
United States.
In the construction of the world
index of production for 1925-29, the
Year Book points out, the weighing
on account of manufacturing given the
United States approximates the COM
bined weightings of Germany, Great
Britain, France, the u. S. S. R., Italy,
Japan, Canada and Belgium. Conse-
quently, it says, "a recession in the
United States is recession in almost
half of the industrial world"
To all outward appearance, the Year
Book finds, there existed no economic
reason for recession in the United
States. It admits, however, the exist
ence of disturbing factors such as: the
uncertainty of the world political sit
uation; the wide and deep disagree
ment within the country as regards So
cial policy; the unpromising situation
of the railroads, public utilities and the
building industry; and the absence of a
thorough-going revival of the invest
ment market.
New Factors Seen
'eThese and other elements in the
situation" it says, 'lent themselves as
partial explanations of the setback. 1t
is probable, though, that new factors
in the economic situation played a
part. 1t is naturally impossible to es-
innate with any certainty their guam
titative Importance, but that they
tended to operate to some extent would
appear reasonably certain.
"The first of these new factors IS
that the United States for some years
now has been engaged in working out
monetary technique aiming essen

Virtually all of the smaller trucking
concerns also were tied up as union

The walkout order was issued after

The strike was called by the Freight

FIRE FIGHTERS
SHOW GAIN in
MEMBERSHIP

| Atlanta, Ga. (ILNS).-T Interna-
tional Association of Fire Fighters
has made marked progress since it's
last convention, President Fred w.
Baer reported as the organization
opened it's biennial convention here
The report, tracing the development
Of the union, disclosed fine record of
achievement and forecast continued
progress.
| Affiliated with the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor the fire fighters as
sociation was organized in 1913 with
locals in 65 cities. Today it has 10000
members, in 500 cities in the United
States and Canada. Since its last con-
vention two years ago, il has gained
5000 new members and more than 80
| locals.
Thirty years ago the fire fighters in
this country were practically tied to
their jobs. It was almost continuous
| 24-hour service for these men and
meant that their real home was the
| frehouse. Though these facts were
generally known, the men who took
the jobs eventually became so at
tached to the department that they
were willing to endure the long hours
and many hardships,
New System Adopted
| About that time what is known as
| the two-platoon system, or two shift,
was put into operation in one of the
larger western cities. Under this sys-
tenn the fre-fghting apparatus is used
to its utmost capacity, 24-hour pro-
lection is afforded the public and at
the same time members of the depart
ment have more time off duty.
The system, which is generally being
accepted, provides that firemen work
10 hours on day duty and IA hours on
night duty. White off duty the fire.
men are subject to call in cases of seri-
Gus eonfagrations or as emergency
relief men at fire houses where the
apparatus is in use This efficiency
of service provides men and additional
apparatus for every section Of city,
at all times.
Active Campaign Pushed
The association has been instrument
tai in having this system accepted and
put into force in most of the principal
cities and many of the small towns in
the United States.
In the State Of Ohio the fire fighters
are 100 per cent organized. Locals
exist in New York, Chicago, Philadel-
phia, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Portland,
Spokane and Seattle, and many other
large cities.
In the last five months the interna-
tional association has engaged in an
active organizing campaign, by means
of circulars sent to all unaffliated fire
departments in the Southern states. A
series of 10 circulars were mailed out.
Similar circularization of cities in the
i Western states will be completed
within the next few weeks.

Initiation Didn't Come

"For number of years, as part of
the process of recovery, banking funds
had been made available in abundance.
From this abundance many inferred
that a great infiationary movement
was to be expected. When in course
of time the monetary authorities took
steps to obviate this danger by in
creasing the reserve percentage to be
held by banks and sterilizing the new
gold coming into the country, this be-
lief in prospective initiation was de-
stroyed
"About the same time the big gov
ernmental expenditures, designed in
large part to swell the flow of demand,
were gradually decreased as recovery
became more pronounced"
Causes OF Slump Coniectural
Had business at that time been
ready to step in with considerable bor-
rowing for new equipment and capital
development generally, the Year Book
asserts, recovery might well have con
tinued Why business failed to run
under it's own motive power, it says,
is matter for conjecture, at least SO
far as the relative Importance of the
different factors is concerned.
One reason it mentions is the over
stocked position of American industry.
Another is that of the so-calied "cap-
ital strike"-the holding back of bust
ness enterprise by reason of dislike
or distrust in the policy of the gov
ernment, and particularly its labor and
taxation measures. A third is the
Stock Exchange debacle.

 Often the deep rutS and loose rocks sent them sprawling in the road tearing their clothes and scratching their shinS. But the go- ing became even harder after they had to leave the highway. When the road turned inland they kept to the shore, for the cove they sought must be recognized by it's relation to the sea.
 They came upon it unexpectedly, recessed in curve of the shore line. Jerry would have known it but tonight there were surer signs to mark it. An ug-y two-mast- ed lugger lay off shore, and in the ravine lanterns bobbed in the dark ness.

 Jerry saw the reason in this. He curbed his impatience and waited for the boat to beach. Then, cup ping his hands around his mouth he called down, clearly but not loudly:
 Does Jean Clitte go there?"
 There was a silence, broken only by the swish of the waves. Then a voice from. below, rough and rasping: Who asks?"
 "Jerry Whitfield. If Cities there he'll remember me. We talked in London"
 "Clitte's not been in Lon'on"

 Jerry and Cabell (and it was now Jerry who led) made their way through slipping shale and stone to the beach below.
