A complaint was registered by the

quite often, therefore they thought it
best to report the matter at the meet
ing in case any loss Of pay is caused
by these slip ups.
A motion to file our application and
send a check for dues to the New Jer-

passed. This is in accordance with
President James NJ. Duffy's request
that we affiliate with the organization.

Mr.. Cooke holds that "our develop

bic a great new adventure in the rela-
tions between employer and employe,
but only, in my opinion, if the tech

used more extensively in production,
and not merely for hours, wages and
working conditions important as are
these traditional objectives of collec-

immeasurably more efficient by fast

American productiveness beyond that

Cooke strongly emphasizes increas-

between democracy and the dictatorial
regimes. Productivity and democratic
practices in democracy are closely
linked, he contends.

Every effort should be made in the

which the body of organized workers
can more effectively participate in the

than through the work of their hands"

Over 100000 Homes Built Or
Started In Past IL
Months

Washington, d. c. - Marking the
first anniversary of the liberalized Ma
tional Housing Act, Federal Housing
Administrator Stewart Mcdonald to-
day cited a billion dollars of business
written on the FHA's books in year
as evidence of the success of the new
program.
More than 100000 individual homes
have been built or started, all of them
approved by the FHA before construc-
ton, since passage of the amendments
on February 3, 1888, Mr.. Mcdonald
said. In addition, more than 100000
home owners, farmers, and small busi-
ness men have modernized or altered
their properties during the l2-months'
period through the restored Property
Improvement Credit Plan. Approx
mately $4,000 family units have been
provided in large scale rental housing
projects put into operation or under
construction during the same period.
The FHA is handling nearly three
times as much business at the present
time as year ago, the Administrator
said. During January construction was
started on new dwelling quarters for
more than 10000 families, financed

Despite the political crisis, the ac-
tivity of the international Labour Or
ganization still further increased dur
ing the year 1888. It's June Confer
ence, in which representatives of fifty
nations and many European and over
seas Ministers of Labour took part,
was one of the best-attended and most
interesting which have met at Geneva.
Its good relations with Governments,
employers and workers organizations
have been kept up and developed
through regular and fruitful collabor-
alton. Requests Of Governments for
the technical assistance of the Inter-
national Labor Office to prepare or
revise their social legislation by TAX
ing into account the results achieved
or experience gained by other coun-
tries, were more numerous than in
previous years. Finally, the Interna-
tional Labour Organization has car
ried on it's regular work of research
and information in all fields, continu-
ing to study effectively the new prob
lens everywhere created by the devel-
opment of industry.

resignation of Mr.. Harold Butler, who
