strikes, Administrator Nathan Straus
reports. The USHA works in close CO.
operation with American Federation

aims from it's beginning.

accomplished through compulsion or
restrictive laws or by setting aside
hard-won industrial rights. ut was
made possible by methods of cooper
alton and mutual trust.
"In every case where it appeared
that dispute might arise, The unions
and the employers invoked the aid of
the USHA, to iron out each difficulty
by negotiation without a moments

which the men were engaged the
administrator declared.

very first defense project an agree
ment was made with local unions that
the work should be carried on by two
shifts, both working at regular pay.
Labor was asked to forego overtime
pay on the second shift and labor
agreed. Similar arrangements, backed
By resolutions of local building unions
and building trades councils, have been
made in all parts of the country. Some
