UN RECURSO COMPRO-
o

Sin embargo, todavia que
da al general Avila Camacho
un recurso supreme para de-
mostrar al pals que 81 llega a
triunfar, su triunfo no es
obra de la maquinaria Off
cial sine de la fuerza de or
ganizacion de sus partida-
rios. Este recurso es compro-
bar, l~impiamente, que ell Z de
julio ell mayor numero de yo-
tos fue depositado en- su ia

Y para hacer esta compro-
bacion, necesariamente ell ge-
neral Avila Camacho debera
dirigirse a sus partidarios y
amigos y condenar p1blica y
energicamente, cualquier vic
lencia durante ell acto electo-
raj; cualquiera violacion del

rales y TODD intento de cerrar
las puertas de las camaras

talacion de las casillas que

tie las anforas; 81 en- los CO.

In This Country
U. S. Housing Authority Pro-
jects Provide New Homes
For l7,7l7 Families

Washington, D. Chatham Straus,
United States Housing Authority Ad-
ministrator, reported that 10000 sub
standard dwelling units in 26 cities
had been eliminated, up to December
1, by the Federal Governments low
rent housing program.
Mr.. Straus stated that reports were
made on only thirty-six USHA-aided
slum-clearance projects, remarking
that ga large additional number Of
substandard dwellings have been elm
mated throughout the country in con-
nection with construction now under
way on more than 1875 low-rent
projects"
The Housing Act requires that sub
standard dwellings equivalent to the
dwelling units provided by a USHA
project must be demolished, effective
ly closed, or rendered safe and sani-
tary for human habitation.
Mr.. Straus estimated that in all
1895 substandard structures would
be eliminated under these require
ments by the construction of 80
USHA-aided projects in 140 commu-
mites on which loan contracts had
been approved.
In the twenty-six cities covered by
the report, Mr.. Straus said, the $3.50
substandard dwellings were elimi-
mated to make way for 17,717 new
dwellings,.
"These statistics are factual proof
that the USHA program is progress
ing effectively to rid America of dis
grace and waste Of slums," he stated.
"The figures, of course, do not tell
the whole story, for they are confined
to formal reports from local authori-
ties that have been received and re-
viewed by the USHA."

COLUMBUS TO AID
RELIEF IN ATHENS

Columbus, o. (OLNS).-With a
controversy raging between state and
local officials over the relief situation
in Athens county and threats of call
ing upon the federal government to
set up soup kitchens in the county,
the State Highway Department this
week is taking cognizance of the stu
alton and is planning to put several
hundred idle men to work on highway
projects.
The plans include bridge jobs at
Amesville and sidewalk construction
at Stewart and the Plains. Street
work is also being started at Nelson
vile and as further aid in the re-
lief situation in the county the high
way department is planning to issue
acquisitions for brick which will en-
able the Hooking Valley Brick Com
pany plant to resume operations en-
ploying 100 men.
AS in the Cleveland situation, State
Welfare officials insist that money
can be raised within the county for
emergency relief. Many Of those on
relief in the county are miners out of
employment.

Picket Lines In Front
of Pdrlors

Beautcians Local 343-A of this
city met last Thursday evening at the
City Hall with International Repre-
sentative McKenna present to deliver
a stirring address to the members.
The meeting was featured by the set
tlement of many difficult problems
confronting the organization and the
finding Of an approach to others.
Mr.. McKenna spent the following
day in an attempt to straighten out
the non-union condition existing at
the Jo-Ann parlor.
The representative was unable to
report much success in his endeavors
which led the members to believe this
condition exists because so many
women whose husbands are members
of organized labor and whose union
pay checks pay the bill insist upon
going through the picket line to
patronize this unfair shop.
1t is the duty of every man and
women deriving living through or
ganization to respect these picket lines
and ask members of their household
to do likewise.
Local beauty operators are entitled
to fair wage which cannot be main
tanned in cheap and unfair shops using
low prices for come on.
The organization is now making
it extremely difficult to maintain a
picket line with the limited finances
available. A committee of these girls
have been visiting the various locals
in the city soliciting both moral anc
financial support.
