Cincinnati Union
Building Program
Sets Fine Example
All Housing Project Workers
Members Of Union; All
Muteriul Union-Mude

Cincinnati is setting fine example
for all other cities in America. 1t
has a building program, known as the
Robal Housing Project, which is 100
per cent union throughout. Every
worker is member of the Building
Trades Council of Cincinnati and
every piece of material used in the
well-constructed and unique enter
prise is union-made.
The Robal Housing Program was
started to meet the demand for union
built homes. The residence contrac-
tors who employed both union and
non-union tradesmen went into bank
ruptcy in 1881 when home buying was
at a standstill In 1885 when home
building started again, union men
would not take jobs because the
wages paid to non-union workers
were much lower than union rates.
The non-union built homes were pick
eted. Union workers were success
full in preventing the purchases of
unfair dwellings but failed in their
organization drive because no homes
were being built under union condi-
tions. They were continually con-
fronted by prospective home pur-
chasers with the question, "Where can
| buy a union-built home?"
Union Heads Act
To meet this demand for "union-
made" homes, J. j. Hurst, president
of the Central Labor Council and Fred
Hook, business representative of the
Building Trades Council of Cincinnati,
requested of the Building Trades
Council authority to promote the
building of union-built homes by union
workers themselves. To these two
men great credit should be given for
the entire project.
Harry Price, an outstanding engi-
neer and architect, who had built some
of the finest homes in Cincinnati and
also had assisted in the Government
housing program, was employed as
consultant. He entered into the spirit
Of this unique enterprise with great
enthusiasm; prepared sketches of
plans; and drew up specifications.
Houses Finely Built
Many building trades unionists
loaned money and desirable sites were
selected in good subdivisions. Three
houses are almost completed and are
on display so prospective purchasers
can see the workmanship and mate
rial that goes into them.
The homes will sell for about $1,000
and are built with materials and equip
ment that can be found in homes that
cost $4,000 and more. The public car

other being operated at plant No. 2.
Work continues to be good here IN
Cambridge and we have a number of
new faces on the shop. Most Of the
new brothers are from Crooksville.
Vacations will be cut short this year
some will get three days, while most
will only get one day off. Slight re-

all that gave any of them more than
one day off.
Cambridge enjoyed an old fashioned
Fourth of July celebration, sponsored

Neutrality Changes
Will Not Cut Down
On ShipbuiIding
Trade With NeutruIs
Due to Increase, Says
Maritime Commission
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASsoc1ate0 PfesS.
Processing no concern that neu-
trality law changes might lessen
the need for American ships, ON
cials said today the Maritime Com
mission intended to continue its
building program ut the present
rate.
The neutrality bill drafted by q
Senate foreign relations subcommit-
tee includes a prohibition against
American ships carrying any goods
to belligerents.
However, commission ofncials said
they were convinced that increasing
trade with neutral countries would
provide demand for most If not
all Of the ships forced from COM
merce In the war zones.
American flagships now are car
rying only about 80 per cent of this
country's foreign commerce." one
official said. with the withdrawal
from ordinary commerce of the ships
of warning nations, there obviously
will be greater need for American
ships to serve neutral countries.
"The European war also is ex-
pected to result in increased COM
merce between the United States
and Latin America, since warning
European nations cannot continue
to give the necessary attention
to retain their present trade"
The commission recently stepped
up its building program. It has
ordered q total Of 125 ships in q
two-year period.
Some persons close to the COM
mission predicted that it would
order at least Is more vessels be-
fore the end of the year.
Approximately 800 American nag
ships now sail the various foreign
trade routes. Nearly 200 of these
operate in the North and South
Atlantic. trading with neutral coun-
tries.

Mr.. Seger described how, after
escaping from 4 German concern
tration camp into Csecho- -SlovakiA,
Mani ofdcials seized his wife and a.
month-old daughter and held them
in a concentration camp In an. effort
to force him to return. He said his
wife and daughter are now In
this country, having been released
through the Intervention Of Lady
Astor, who heard his testimony be-
fore q committee Of the British Par
lament.
Contrary to many reports, the wit
ness declared Jews In Germany are
not the only victims OF Hitler. At
least 80 per cent Of those placed
in concentration camps, he said. are
German citizens who opposed the
Fuehrer's policies, and only 10 per
cent are Jews.
Mr.. Seger, at the outset of his tes-
timony, said he wanted to make it
perfectly clear" that any Nazi or
ganization throughout the world is
to be regarded as an agency Of the
German Reich government "and
cannot be looked upon as q private
organization"
while Democratic nations take
great pains in distinguishing care
fully between a political party as q
private organization and the govern
ment or administration in power,
even If this power has been achieved
by the party" he added, "the Nazi
party in Germany has acted differ
emily"
All organizations afiliated with
the Nazi party. he subsequently en-
phasized, "are part and parcel of
the German Nazi dictatorship, and
this, of course, does include all Nazi
organizations abroad. Any Nazi or
ganization, in any part of the world,
therefore, according to the German
legislation, must be looked upon as
a German governmental agency, as
an alien organization"
Mr.. Seger closed his testimony by
denying certain statements Mr.
Kuhn made during his appearance
before the committee He said the
bund leader had denied his con-
versations with Hitler during q visit
to Germany several years ago had
touched upon achievements of the
bund in the United States.
This statement is not true" de-
clared the witness. I'm Mr.. Kuhn s

bachter, of December 10. 1896, re-

this report 1t is stated that Mr.
Kuhn described the reception in
the chancellery in Berlin as the
highlight of the whole trip to Ger

held with Mr.. Hitler saying to the
American delegation: Now you go

Rome, which never, it may be said,

enthusiasm. The first possibility is
considered here most likely and is

In this doubtful and hazardous

of neutrality. It's dignity and res

hearten and confirm the Italian
government in the wisdom of the
course it is following. Italy desires
to remain friends with France and
England, but can never forget they
are belligerents. Like the United

to stand aside, and feels, accord
ingly, that there is bond between
the two countries which it hopes
will be strengthened.

CHICAGO Daily News Foreisn CORRESPONDENT.
BERLIN, Sept. Is (by Radio).-
Lacking the capital assets with which
Germany entered the first world war
and determined to avoid the fiscal
mistakes that the .Hohenzollern en-
pire made between 1914 and 1918,
the Nazis have set out to finance
Germany's participation In the pres
ent war by methods which differ
drastically from those used Is years
ago, a survey of the regimes war
time fiscal measures, thus far, shows.
Imperial Germany of 1914 had at
least three notable capital assets
which the Nazi Germany Of 1899
conspicuously lacks:
/ In 1914 the Reich had assets
abroad, expressed in terms of foreign
exchange. estimated from 20,0O0,-
100000 to 5000, 600, 900 marks. Most
of these assets, furthermore, were
in the form of securities or were
otherwise relatively easily realizable
Germany enters the present war,
however. with foreign holdings esti-
mated (by DR.. Rudolf Eicke, a direc-
tor of the ReichsbanD at no more
than 5000 ,000,0 marks and most
Of these holdings can be realized
only with the greatest difnculty, or
not at all. partly because they are
largely in the form of industrial
plants, docking and storage facili-
ties and the like, and partly because
foreign exchange restrictions have
been adopted so extensively all over
the world in recent years.
Debt Smaller in 1914.
2. The Reich national debt was
much smaller in 1914 in proportion
to the national income than the
present national debt and Hohen-
zollern Germany's ability to borrow
was, therefore, greater.
The German national debt at the
end of 1918 was 1900 ,OOO, 900 marks,
or the equivalent of 1925 per cent
of the national income for that year,
which was estimated at 10000, 900 900
marks.
The Reich debt at the outbreak
Of the present war, on the other
hand, was probably at least 45,0OO,-
100000 marks (the exact figure is
state secret, which amounts to
57.69 per cent of the national in
come of 1888, estimated at 78,OO0,-
600 900 marks. The ratio of national
debt to annual tax revenue is much
the same now as it was Is years ago.
The debt in 1913 was equivalent to
2.1304 times the income from taxes
of that year (2,30O, 900 900 marks
and the present debt only 25423
times as great as tax revenues for
the past fiscal year 07,700, ,0O0, 900
marks.
But the proportion of the national
income taken in taxes in 1918 was
much lower than that taken now
approximately one-fourth as much
and, therefore, could be more
easily increased then to keep pace
with an increase in expenditures
than is now the case.
Had Gold Reserves In 1914.
3. The Reich of 1914 had sub
stantial gold reserves, which Nazi
Germany lacks.

country threaten to intimidate

The statement, issued Wednesday,
begot storm of controversy.
Gov. ODaniel said the staring
death in the face" was not his SEN
tence of the man.
That was the sentence already
given him by the court and jury
and included in their contemplation,
because they knew 30-day reprieve
was all that the Governor could
give him." he said.
Gov. ODaniel favors substitution
of an irrevocable life sentence for
the death penalty. He said he be-
lieved the death penalty violates the
Biblical commandment, Thou shalt
not KILL" the spirit of the eighth
amendment to the United States
Constitution, and the Texas consti-
tuition, which prohibits cruel or un-
usual punishment.
He said Williams may prove to
be the spark which will give us

cruel method Of Furnishing our

Text Of Reply.
The text of the prime ministers
reply follows:
According to my information,
Bonnet's statement in the Chamber
of Deputies of January 26 was that
in case of a war in which the two
countries were involved all the forces
of Great Britain would be at the
disposal of France just as all forces
of France would be at the disposal
of Great Britain.
This is in complete accordance
with the views of the British gov
ernment.
1T is impossible to examine in
detail all the hypothetical cases
which might arise, but feel bound
to make it plain that the solidarity
of interest by which France and this
country are united is such that any
threat to the vital interests of
France, from whatever quarter it
came, must evoke the immediate CO.
operation of this country"
Hint Army to Be Sent.
His statement was interpreted in
some quarters also as an indication
that Britain's help to France would
not be restricted to the air force
and navy, as advocated by some
British, but that she would send a
large army to the Continent as she
did in the World War.
The French were understood to
have been pressing for some time for
a British promise to send a large
land force to aid her in event of a
conflict.
Britain now has a relatively small
regular army and, unlike most con-
tinental nations, relies on voluntary
recruiting rather than conscription
for all her military services.
