Defense Housing Head
Warns Of Hoardinu

Expressing the view that the Fed
eral Government, if necessary. will
take steps to requiSition boarded
materials, Charles Palmer, defense
housing co-ordinator. estimated yes
terday that the building industry
during the current fiscal year, will
be called upon for Sl775,000,000
worth of new construction.
He made this estimate at press
conference in which he discussed
the action of S. P. A. B. on Thursday
in limiting priorities for non-defense
construction. For the calendar year
1910, new housing construction had
an aggregate value of about $685.
600 900. he said.
Mr.. Palmer disclosed that Q. P. M
had been requested to give priorities
during the rest of the current year
for the construction of $4,000 de-
fense homes-400,0 900 private and
l25. 900 public. So far, o. P. M. has
agreed to grant priority for only
100000 homeS-200,000 private and
100000 public. Mr.. Palmer voiced
the hope that o. P NJ. as the need
arises, will approve additional prior
tiles to bring to 525 900 the number
of new defense homes that the
building industry will be called upon
to provide before the end of June,
1912.
Apart from the new dwelling
units for defense workers, the build

Lewis Asks Senate
To Investigate Delay
In Housing Contract
Rejection of Bid Because
Of A. F. L. Protest Called
Extraordinary Policy
Ey the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Senate Investigating Com.
mlttee today had an urgent request
from John L. Lewis, former C. I. O.
president, to look into a delay in
awarding a contract on a Fedora
Works Agency housing project tc
the Currier Lumber Co. of Detroit
the low bidder.
The project at Wayne, Mich, was
bid low by s43l 900 by Currier, max
er of pre-fabricated houses. Currier
has c. l. o. employe contract.
Mr.. Lewis sent a telegram yes
terday to Chairman TrumX of the
Senate Committee, mentioning what
he described as the "extraordi-
nary policy" of the Office of Pro-
duction Management in recon-
mending that the firms bid be re-
jected on the ground that accept
ance might cause 'repercuSsions"
among A. F L. unions.
Thurman Arnold, Assistant Attor-
ney General in charge of antitrust
law enforcement, at the same time
advised John NJ. Carmody, Federal
Works Administrator, that there were
indications of antitrust law viola
tionS in the case, of a nature which
previously had been prosecuted and
which in the interests of equal ad-
ministration of law requires action
on our part"
1t was learned that Mr.. Arnold
had told the F. w. A. administrator
there was no reason for hesitation
in awarding the contract to Currier
despite any threats of A. F. L. inter-
ference with the projects compile
tion.
Those who told of Mr.. Arnold's
advice to Mr. Carmody said he had
suggested the possibility of prose-
cutting the A. F. L. Justice Depart.
ment officials declined to comment
on the letter or say how Mr.. Arnold
felt the A. F. L. might have violated
antitrust laws.
Aides were reluctant to discuss
the matter in Mr.. ArnOld'S absence,
but his reference to cases prosecuted
In the past appeared to mean in
stances in which unions were al
legged to have prevented the use of
more economical materials or
methods.
Mr.. Carmody said the Currier bid
was low by about 100000, but Rich
ard Gray acting president of the
A. F. L. Building Trades Depart
ment. said the bid did not cover
certain utility items for the housing,
and that the actual difference be-
tween Currier and the next lowest
bidder was but S216,000. Mr.. Gray
asserted that the Currier firm had
an unfair labor policy" and that
its business methods would result in
monopoly or force competitors to cut
wages.
