WESTINGHOUSE : fabricated housing
might-just possibly-break the log Jam in de,
tense housing and help knock down small
home prices all along the line.
Experts see in pre-fabricated housing an
ideal answer to the need for vastly increased,
but largely temporary, housing accommoda-
tons in certain defense production areas.
They recall the famous Fort Wayne expert
ment OF a few years ago, in which serviceable
hve-room houses were put up for around 5000.
Since WPA labor was used, this doubtless was
under any price private industry could be
expected to meet; nevertheless. the houses
in pre-fabricated panels which could be
erectd IN one day-and which, after the need
was gone, could be knocked down in another
day and moved to any spot where they were
needed.

UNIONS STYMIE
CONSTRUCTION

Files OF the antitrust division of the Depart-
ment of Justice are eloquent about some of
the things that have stymied pre-fabricated
housing. Take the experience of the Gunnison
manufacturing Corp, at Belleville, III.
Gunnison builds pre-fabricated houses. It's
plant in New Albany, Ind, is a c. I. O. shon
Recently it got a contract to put up one Of it's
houses in Belleville.
AT Bellevllle it couldn't get a contract to
handle the Job, nor could it hire any A. F.. of L
union workers. Hence it brought in it's own
crew OF c.. o. men to do the job. When
tne materials were shipped in, local workers
wouldn't unload them at the freight station
ana local haulers would not handle them.
When, finally, the materials were got to the
lot, plckets sWarmed around and there were
daily fights and near-riots. Efforts to get M.
lice protection failed.
Justice Department finally moved in and in
dlcated a lot Of people-local building materi-
ais dealers, local unions, and the chief of DO
nee. Gunnlson was then able to 60 ahead and
oullo the house. But the case illustrates the
KIND OF problem the pre-fabricated house n
counters.
BUILDING CODE
REVISION SOUGHT
Local building codes provide another prob
lem.
These codes undertake to set up reasonable
rules for house construction in the interest of
health and safety. Sometimes they are framed
by collision between city officials, building
supply dealers and manufacturers, and local
unions, to keep certain low-cost materials and
fixtures off the market.
Sometimes they are framed with good inten-
tons but in utter ignorance-as witness the
small Arizona city which, anxious to have a
good building code, simply copied the New
York City code verbatim, thus writing into it's
local code all sorts of rules devised for sky.
scraper construction.
The antitrust people have the idea that a
great many of these restrictions-which some.
times do fantastic things to keep prices up
would collapse at once if tested in court. JUS
tce Department can't test them, though, un-
less 1t can find a citizen directly affected who
is willing to file suit on his own hook. It has
a standing offer in such cases to join with the
petitioner as an amicus curiac, but so far has
not been able to make much Roadway on it.
What the antitrust division would really
like is a concerted move to revise building
codes, rewriting them in terms of tests rather
than in terms of specific materials. This
would safeguard the public and at the same
time remove the restraints which do so much
to bar pre-fabricated and other types of low
cost housing. But the division lacks men and
monev !

Rivers E1arbors Congress
Receives F. r. MESSAGES
Indicates Veto Awaits Any
Legislation Authorizing
New Projects This Year

WASHINGTON, March 14.-GP-
The National Rivers and Harbors
Congress received two messages
from President Roosevelt today -
one directly, praising its "excellent
service to the public in sponsoring
waterway improvements, the other
indirectly indicating a veto awaited
any legislation to authorize such
projects this year.
At the annual convention of the
organization, which seeks to influ-
ence congress to provide appropria-
lions for navigation, flood control
and water conservation develop
ments, Chairman Bailey (D-NC) of
the senate commerce committee in
formed the delegates it was highly
unlikely any navigation projects au-
t~horizations would be approved at
this session.
The reason, he said, was the neces-
sity Of scaling down federal expen-
ditures of all kinds, with rivers and
harbors work sharing the cuts.
Senator Bailey reported that Mr..
Roosevelt believed enough naviga-
ton and flood control projects had
been authorized already to last two
or three years, and was opposed to
new authorizations this year.
Despite this warning from the
chief executive, Chairman Whit
tington (D-Miss) of the house flood
control committee informed the con-
vention that hearings would be
started next Monday on an omnibus
authorization bill for new flood con.
troll projects.
Last year, he said, no projects
were authorized, efforts being con-
centrated on obtaining an appro-
priation $780, 100000 higher than
budget estimates. This year house
flood control advocates had set new
authorizations as their goal, Whit
tington said, and a bill would be re.
ported by his committee proposing a
program to cost from $780, 00, 900 to
SITS, 900, 900.
The hearings would last until
April 1, Wilmington said, and the
projects considered would be those
on which the army engineers had
submitted reports since passage Of
the 1888 flood control act.
