"The defense housing program also
has no place for the protiteer and the
speculator. Defense workers earn
ings should not be diverted into the
pockets of the jerry building, slum
building profiteer.
"And let it be made clear once and
for all that American labor will not
accept a plan where, with public aid,
the speculative builder will be permit
ted to unload cheaply knocked togeth-
er housing upon defense workers for
ownership. The formula of Title vi
of the National Housing Act which
protects fully the risk of the banker
and the risk Of the builder and makes
the worker assume the entire risk Of
emergency housing construction by in
ducing him to buy, is a formula which
is as unfair as it is unsOund. 1t is a
formula which can only serve to un-
dermine the confidence of the average
American family in home ownership.
"Thc second part of our problem is
the future for we must build not only
for today, but also for those critical
days when the emergency is over. TO
meet that future crisis we should
make our housing as sound and as
lasting as we can. We should build
as much durable, permanent housing
as possible, and limit all forms of de-
mountable housing solely to the com
munities which cannot possibly achieve
permanencc when the emergency is
over.
an all aspects of the defense hous-
ing program it is imperative that full
| consultation and adequate representa-
ton be afforded to those who Spea,
for our defense workers. There is nc
working partnership without working
participation. On local, state and ma.
tional basis labor should be given q
voice in the formulation of defense
| housing policy. Only on the basis OF
full recognition of the democrati,
process in the formulation of our pol
icies and objectives can we carry out
defense housing program which car
bear the labcl-the product of de
mocracy.'

Red Issue Splits

Communist by the Dies Committee,
was accused of encouraging "irrespon-
sible action" by President R. J.
Thomas of the CIO Auto Workers.
That was because Kaufman indorsed
the North American strike, which
was conducted by local union of the
auto workers.
The Dies Committee also got busy
and exposed two leaders of the ClO
Diecasters Union, which had pulled
a strike against the Cleveland plant
of the Aluminium Company as Com
munists. Witnesses testified that one
of the leaders named Balint was a
member of the Communist Party and
Edward T. Cheyfitz admitted he join
ed the party in 1885. Further testi-
mony revealed that Paul Martin, pres
ident of the striking local, had been
convicted six times on felony counts
Belint also admitted he served SEN
tence for auto theft in his youth.
Differences within the CIO were
focused sharply in New York City
Louis Hollander, manager of the New
York joint board of the Amalgamat
ed Clothing Workers, called upon the
CIO top leadership to Gust "agent:
of the Moscow-Berlin axis" from po
sitions Of leadership in the organiza
ton. He also sent telegram t'
President Roosevelt commencing hi
labor policy.
On the other hand, the Greater New
York Industrial Council, which i
Communist dominated, criticized tn
President for sending in troops to tn
North American Aviation strik
front. Similar statements were mad
by Joseph Curran, President of tn
National Maritime Union and Mi
chael J. Quill, President of the Trans
port Workers Union. Both are re
garded as followers of the Commur
list Party line.

Musiciuns' Union
Seeking Coveroge
Of Security Act

Seattle, Wash. QLNS).-The Amer
lean Federation of Musicians, in 10th
annual convention here, asked that
musicians be included under Federal
social security legislation.
In a resolution approved by the
convention, it was pointed out that
most musicians are not covered under
the present law because they seldom
work for one employer long enough
to qualify. Amendment of the law to
remedy this was urged.
The delegates also approved a res
olution aimed at preventing "big
name" bands from "cavorting about
the grounds at state and other major,
fairs, playing hither and thither,'
while local musicians failed to share
fair entertainment proceeds. The res
olution provided that union bands
could be signed for specific assign
ments only and could not make null
tiple appearances.
The convention took no stand on a
number of resolutions seeking to i'm
pose union restrictions on recorded
music and instead voted to leave de-
cision with the executive board. The
action came after Joseph N. Weber,
honorary president and general ad-
visor, told the delegates they couldn't
hope to halt the progress of tech
nology. "You can't get anywhere
passing these resolutions" he said.
The nearly 600 delegates unani-
mously approved the executive acts Of
President James c. Petrillo in the
past year.

"This is one of the few countries
in which workers still have the right

Wdge-Hour Ruling

non-retail selling would nullify the
retail exemption for any establish
ment. Shortly after l became admin
istrator we interpreted substantial
in this respect as more than 50 per
cent. Subsequently the United States
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Cir
cult (St. Louis) handed down an opin-
ion that the wage and hour law, as an
humanitarian law, is entitled to lib
eral construction and that exemptions
from it are subject to strict construc-
ton. The First Circuit Court (Bos-
tom said the same thing.
New Interpretation Made
"Many wholesalers complained
about the competitive wholesale serv-
ice that retailers not under the 40
hour week were able to provide. So
we are now regarding substantial
non-retail selling as more than 25 pei
cent. We will not regard establish
ments with more than 25 per cent
non-retail sales as exempt from the
4O-hour week and the 30-cent mini
mum wage.
"At the same time we are ac
knowledging the retail character OF
many sales to industrial and CONNER
| cial firms which always have beer

lieve this will do much to make oul
enforcement policy more acceptable

Washington, d. C. GLNS).-Dras-
tice shortages in housing were pre-
dicted for the District Of Columbia
by C. F. Palmer, Coordinator of De-
fense Housing, unless the plan to de-
centraliZe Government activities is
put into effect as soon as possible by
transferring some activities and en-
ployes to other cities.
Palmer pointed out that despite the
large defense housing program, COM
prising $3.50 homes to be built with
public funds, as well as an additional
1000 dormitory accommodations fol
girls, already programmed, it woult
not be feasible to house with public
funds all of the additional people who
will come into Washington to take de
fense jobs with the Government.
Additional dwelling, units are now
being planed for these new employe:
who will be surperimposed upon thos'
Government agencies carrying out du
ties essential to the smooth running

relieved considerably by transferring

prizes also came home to roost.
While we are on the subject of the
picnic, have little joke to tell.
Right after Jimmy Anderson brought
home his new car he had an occasion
to go out to Bostwick's home. So
he jumps in his picnic car and floats
to attend his business. Bostwck re-
marked to Anderson that he had five
bucks in that car and how about kick
ing in. Anderson reached inside his
car, tore off one of those Oldsmobile
streamers that were pasted on the
rear Windows and handed it to Bost-
wick with grin. Here's your five
bucks, that more paper than you put
in the box" says he.
