DISCRIMINATION
BRINGS PENALTY

Washington, D. C. GLNS) - The
P. w. A. has ordered 81 ,490 penalty
deduction from a $188,000 P. w A
grant made for the construction of a
school at Wyandotte, Mich, on the
charge that "racial discrimination was
shown in the employment of workers
on the project" Investigators re
ported that their inquiry substanti-
ated accusations by five negroes that
sub-contractors refused them employ
ment or dismissed them shortly after
they were hired on the ground that
negroes could not work on the
project"
The penalty was imposed under the
terms of the financial agreement of
the w. P. A. grant which carried a
clause to the effect that no qualified
workers on a project "shoull be dis
criminated against on any ground
whatsoever"

Pay Chiseling Is Spiked
BY Duluth Union Head

Duluth, Mimi (AFLWNS) With
his eagle eye peeled for violations of
agreements with the Duluth Gro
Gerry Clerks Union, Henry Degnan,
business representative of the organi-
zation, uncovered a lot of chiseling
by one of the firms which had signed
the union contract. 1t was found that
in the case of employees on a weekly
salary many were paid as much as SO
week under the union scale and that
temporary employees were getting II
cents less than the scale
Business Representative Degnan
confronted the employer with evidence
of his wage gypping and collected APP
proximately $50 in back pay for mem
bers of the union.

CLEARER ATTITUDE
WOULD HAVE AIDED
Enlightened Employer Attitude Here
Would Have Barred Wagner Act.

New York City (ILNS) The Ma
tional Labor Relations Board never
would have been created had employ
ers taken an attitude similar to that
of British industrialists, William M.
Leiserson, an N. l.. R. B. member, told
the Cooper Union Forum.
At the same time, Rep. Bruce Bar
ton was saying that virtually all of
the trouble which has arisen from
the labor act resulted from bad ad-
ministration by the board and incom-
petent personnel He addressed the
Queensborough Chamber of Com
merce's annual dinner.
England has powerful labor unions
but nothing like the Wagner Act"
Leiserson said. "Why not? Because
the great body of England's employ
ers did not think it was proper for
them to try to destroy labor unions
by discharging active members, spy
ing on them, or otherwise hurting
employees who joined organizations
Had employers in the U. S. taken a
similar attitude, the Wagner board
never would have been created"

U.S.H.A. WORKING ON
SLUMS ELIMINATION

Washington, D. c. (ILNS) .-Indi-
cation that real progress in eradica-
tion of American slums is being made
by the low-rent housing program of
the United States Housing Authority
is given by statistics just issued
which show that approximately 10000
sub standard structures had been
eliminated in 26 cities as of Decem-
Der |
In issuing the statistics, U. S. HI. A.
Administrator Nathan Straus called
to attention that they represent only
36 U. S. H. A.-aided projects concern
ing which the local authorities have
made formal reports on the progress
of their slum clearance work.
A large additional number of sub
standard dwellings, also have been
eliminated throughout the country, he
said, in connection with construction
now under way on more than 125 low
rent projects, but the data have not
yet been officially reported and ap-
proved.
The United States Housing Act re-
quires that sub-standard dwellings,
equivalent to the dwelling units pro-
vided by an U S. H. A. project must
be demolished, effectively closed, OF
rendered safe and sanitary for hu-
man habitation.
