that if the apprenticeship council

promoted much IriCndlicr rcIatun-
ship between union labor and the w.

George w. Coggin, director of In
duStral Vocational Educaiion, was
put on the council as Il member with
out vote and il WAS thought by some
that the rather anomalous situation
would not work out well; but the
contrary seems TO have resulted.
AS the labor members Of the board
have had contacts with Director Cog

with him and the pro-

closer attitude of respect and COOP

Smith Amendments To Labor Act With
Changes Asked By AFL Pass House 81

Drastic amendments to the National
Labor Relations Act, including a pro-
vision to protect the rights of craft
unions, as demanded by the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, were ap-
proved by the House of Representa-
tives on June Z. The vote was 25S to
129 in favor of the amendments.
The House accepted most of the
amendments proposed by the Smith
committee, which conducted long in
vestigation of the National Labor Re-
lations Boards administration of the
labor act. The Smith committee, head
ed by Representative Howard W..
Smith of Virginia, approved four
changes asked by President William
Green of the A. F. of L. and in re-
turn the A. F. of L. supported the
Smith proposals.
The amendments provide for aboli-
tion of the present labor board and
substitution Of new three-man board.
The A. F. of l.. amendment for pro-
lection of craft unions would force the
labor board in determining the bar
gaining agency to certify craft unions
where there was preponderance of
votes favoring them. This would give
A. F. of L. unions the right to bar
gain for their members in plants
where the majority of workers belong
to an industrial union.

The order issued by Judge Wood
ward is regarded as one of labor's
most important and far reaching court
victories in recent years. According
to Daniel D. CARMEL, attorney for
Goudie, it is a direct blow to methods
of the Antitrust Division of the De-
partment of Justice, i. e., the use of
general terms of conspiracy and COM

PENDANTS to know what confronts

A second A. F. of L. amendment
eliminated one Of the Smith commit
tee amendments which would have re-
placed the preamble to the act stating
it's aims.
The third A. F. of l.. amendment
removed another Smith proposal re-
defining the term "collective bargain
ing" The A. F. of L. had objected to
the Smith proposal on the ground that
it might be construed adversely.
Back Pay For Year
The fourth A. F. of l.. amendment
changed Smith amendment and pro-
vided that back pay to reinstate en-
ployes extend to maximum of a
year, instead Of six months.
The Smith amendments were Wig
orously denounced by George @.
Lynch, president of the Pattern
Makers League of North America, an
A. F. of l.. affiliate. Gail of the Smith
amendments were designed with one
single purpose: to hamstring the legi-
innate efforts of organized labor, u
Lynch charged in a statement issued
after the House passed the amend
ments.
Senate leaders are quoted as saying
the Senate will not act at this session
on the amendment, unless Congress
remains in Washington much longer
than is generally expected.

Financial Secretary James D. Glib

By confining every member to the
question, No. 10 has been able to
transact it's routine business in one

to attend to their local duties and have

gagements. This should be an incen-

Convention Provides For Celebration To
Honor Organization 50+h Anniversary
Private Industry
Aided By USHA
More Than $2O.0OO.OO0.00 q
Month Now Being Spent
For Materials

Washington, D. C.-More than $780,
100000 month now is flowing to
private industry from local housing
authorities whose slum clearance and
national defense low-rent public hous-
ing projects are financed by the United
States Housing Authority.
These expenditures, which it is es-
timated will range up to more than
3O,OCO,O00 month as the current ma
tional program is further accelerated
by the demands for national defense
housing, are largely for the purchase
of building materials and for the pay
ment of wages to workmen on project
sites.
Money is advanced to local housing
authorities with which the USHA has
entered into loan contracts as it is
needed to finance the development of
their projects. Up to July 1, estimated
total expenditures of local housing au-
thorities amounted to 1924, 4,470,0O0
Well over half of the 100000 low
rent homes for low-income families
projected in the current USHA pro-
gram now are under construction or
completed, USHA Administrator Ma
than Straus said today.
Estimated cash disbursements by To-
cal housing authorities during June,
1910, amounted to S21 100000. Com
pared with June, 1889, this was an in
crease of more than 1850.
The important aid to private indus
try given by the construction of
USHA-aided projects, through the
purchase of building materials and the
employment of thousands of building
trades workmen, will increase sharply
in volume, Mr.. Straus asserted, from
month to month up to next January.
During that period 1856 additional pub
lie housing projects financed with
USHA loans are scheduled to go into
construction.
There are now 225 USHA aided low
rent public housing projects, which
will provide S4,927 fit homes for low
income families removed from slum
dwellings, under construction or COM
pleted in 1875 localities. Thirty-one of
these projects now are occupied in
whole or in part.
In June, 1889, the total number of
USHA-aided projects under construc-
tion was 55, comprising total of
24,6O0 dwelling units.
Likewise, in June, 1889, projects un-
der USHA loan contracts totaled 255,
including 99,595 dwelling units.
AS of July l, 1910, the USHA had
entered into loan contracts totaling
$634 SGT, ,4S3 with I'll local housing
authorities for the construction Of Alb
projects containing 145,646 dwelling
units. The total of these loan con-
tracts is within about $58,000,0OO of
the total fund that has been author
lied by Congress and the total of the
dwelling units provided for is within
$4,000 of the estimated total number
it will be possible to finance from the
present USHA fund
A bill now pending in Congress
would authorize additional funds for
slum clearance and national defense
housing sufficient to virtually double
the current program.

Role Of Women Worker In
Defense Program Now
Being Studied

The role of the woman worker ir
the defense program is now being
studied by the Federal Government
through the Women's Bureau Of the
Department of Labor, Secretary Per
kins reported today in announcing
that Mary Anderson, Director of the
Women's Bureau, has set up labor
men and women at work in, or con-
nected with, defense industries.
The Committee will advise with the
Bureau as to types Of jobs in the ex-
panded production program for which
women are best fitted, and the employ
ment conditions and policies necessary
to guarantee the most effective use Of
women as a labor force without un-
dermining their welfare.
"The women already invited to
serve on the committee represent hun
dreds Of thousands of women in the
key defense industries" Miss Ander-
son said. However, we plan to en-
large the Committee by appointing
additional women from other indus
tries likely to be drawn into the pro-
gram"
To date the Committee includes a
representative from each Of the fol-
lowing labor groups:
Amalgamated Clothing Workers of
America; International Association OF
Machinists (the representative woman
on the Committee being an airplane
worker); International Brotherhood OF
Electrical Workers Of America; Natl
onal Women's Trade Union League
Steel Workers Organizing Committee
Textile Workers Union Of America
United Automobile Workers Of Amer
lea; United Rubber Workers Of Amer
lea.
"The frst-hand knowledge of indus
trial conditions today possessed by
these women representatives qualities
them to make practicable and valuable
recommendations on how women
workers can best function in the hour
of need" Miss Anderson said.
an development of such plans the
Women's Bureau has been asked to
take the lead because Of experience
gained during the acute emergency
period following its origin in July
1918, and during the two succeeding
decades of constantly changing econ
omic conditions.
"The Committee recently met for
: the first time with members of the
Bureau and conferred on forthcom-
ing Bureau bulletin on advisable kinds
of work and working conditions for
women in the defense industries.
"The program of expanded pro-
duction calls for speed, quality, and
quantity Of output over an extended
period This can be attained only
when working conditions leading to
fatigue, discomfort, i'll health, or ac-
cident are eliminated.
"Thus the program of expanded pro-
duction will require sound employ
ment policies. These must be care
