ut has been common practice
to build small homes all of one
design and line block after block
with the same design due to
economy in building. We have
proven to ourselves and the
homebuying public that the low
cost home can be individual In
design, attractive, well-built and
as nvable as homes larger and
more costly"

Interest In Sebring Local Is
High As Attendance
Remuins Good

Sebring, Ohio.-The last meeting of
Local Union No. 121 was very we'll
attended with much interest being
shown. Ten new members were initi-
ated into our union. Although we miss
the regular attenders who were trans
ferred to Local Union No. 1872, we are
building up our local.
The members of our local suffered
great loss when our very able presi-
dent, Arthur Speakman, resigned. He
did great work for our organization
and is certainly being missed. Our
new president, Brother Harold Heth-
erington, is a newcomer, but we feel
with the cooperation of each and
every member he will prove to be
very effective.
Brother Kenneth Campbell is serv-
ing as vice president and doing good
job, this office being vacated by
Brother Earl ]. Hardy who was trans
ferred to 192. We miss his good work,
but see that he is striving to be re-
elected Township Trustee. Don't think
local members of 121 will forget all
he has done for them, as he has
proven himself an honest and con-
scientious worker in any walk of life
ana we are sure he will continue so.

''In that agreement the Building
Trades Unions showed their patrio-

saved millions of dollars to the gov
ernment-but the saving Of dollars
was not the important thing, either to
the government or to the unions.
"The regularization of employment,
together with the mobilization of the

Trades Unions, enable the government

be done. 1t enabled the defense pro-

Bates Defends Sterilization Pact

Detroit, Mich.-Harry C. Bates,
president of the Bricklayers, Masons

America and vice president of the
American Federation of Labor, in an

here severely indicted the combina-

tack on the national defense program

Team To Play Akron Nov. z
For State Semi-Pro
Championship

Minerva, Ohio.-Well the yearly
trip to Mckeesport is over for an
other twelve months, with Minerva
shining in a 60 victory. Nice job
boys. Members of Local Union No.
70 naturally made the trip to Nc
keesport last week as they are all
football fans.
Brother Junie Draher, stellar half
back for the Merchants, got a bad
break Sunday. Sprained his ankle
early in the game. Hope it isn't too
bad. This Sunday, November 2, the
Merchants play Akron for the State
Semi-Pro crown. Good luck Minerva.
The following was taken from the
Canton Repository:
Minerva may rightly be called the
"Green Bay of Ohio" The town and
its semi-pro football team isn't as
famous as the Wisconsin setup but
nevertheless, Minerva is loyal to it's
eleven. Approximately 500 fans will
board a train at Minerva this morn
ing for a trip to McKeesport, Pa,
where the Merchants will play the
Olympics for the fifth time since they
became opponents. Each team has
won twice and one battle ended in
scoreless tie. Minerva, which lays
claim to the state semi-pro title, has
played two games to date this sea-
son, defeating the Pittsburgh Garfield
Eagles 1877 and Springdale, Pa, 27-O.
Regardless of how the McKeesport
game turns out, Minerva will have a
chance to prove it's Ohio champion

goes to Akron to meet the South

"The country must decide now on a

Labor is deeply concerned about
this issue. We are concerned, too
about the kinds of price control
established. First we want to clear

increases are major cause of rising
prices and that wage ceilings should

Washington, D. C.-The constant
rise in prices has already reduced the
living standards of thousands of
American workers, according to the
October issue of "Labor's Monthly
Survey" an A. F. of L. publication.
Declaring that "inflation is upon
u.s." the Survey said:
"Workers throughout the country
are thoroughly alarmed by the swift
upward trend of living costs. From
March to August cost of living rose
AZ per cent. In August it was Sc
per cent higher than last year and
rs per cent above pre-war. Before
spring, we are told, living costs will
rise another 10 per cent unless ade-
quate price controls can be estab-
lished. Such a rise would amount to
the same thing as 10 per cent wage
cut for every worker in the United
States. And the end is not here.
Prices will continue to spiral upward,
destroying workers living standards,
disrupting the defense program,
threatening to cut in half the value
of every pay envelope, every savings
