The nine per cent also applleS tc
those jobs on day wage with a present
rate of $1.10 per hour or more.
The ten per cent increase includes
all others with the exception of ware
housemen who will receive a straight
80 cents per hour which is slightly
in excess of an 1872 per cent boost
over the present rate Of G7la cents
per hour.
The new wage rates become ef-
fective April l, supplanting the pact
negotiated in the regular biennial
wage conference last September in
Atlantic City.
In addition to the wage rate
changes, the contract contains the fol-
lowing stipulations:
Another conference will not be re-
quested by either side until there is
an appreciable change in the cost of
living. New and inexperienced en-
ployes will be employed for period
of 90 days at 20 per cent off the es-
tablished rate.
All questions concerning the sub
stituting of nine and ten hole saggers
for ones now in use will be settled be-
tween the firm and the men on the
shop with the aid of a committee.
The clause in the 1910 agreement
stipulating brushers shall not be re-
=, quired to move boxes piled five or
more high shall be enforced.
When agreement was reached, the
joint conference committee, upon a
motion by John d. McGillivray, gave
a standing vote of thanks to the two
chairmen upon whose shoulders the
brunt of the work of the conference
was born. The applause was sincere,
everyone in the room appreciating the
severe strain and constant mental
alertness demanded by the positions.
Brotherhood members Of the confer
ence committee met in the Plymouth
hotel at nine o'clock on the morning
of February II to prepare their case
before meeting the manufacturers.

.USHA Reports Big
Sums Sdved Notion
Steady Reduction In Costs
OF Public Housing
Construction

Washington, D. c., fILNSl.-Mill.
ions of dollars in public funds have
been saved by the steady reduction ir
construction costs of low-rent public
housing projects. Nathan Straus, ad-
ministrator of the United States Hous-
ing Authority, said in releasing the
annual report of the agency.
Not only has the per unit cost been
substantially and consistently reduced
the administrator said, but these costs
have been proved approximately 25
per cent lower than the costs Of SINH
lar construction by purely private en-
terprise.
Basic Standards Kept
This cost record" the report stated
ais signal tribute to the local author
tiles concerned with economy What
makes the record all the more sig
nifcant is that it has been achieved
without sacrifice of any basic stand
ards. The local authorities have been
able to effect these low costs through
the cautious land-acquisition plans
through meticulous attention to de-
tail, and the avoidance of unnecessary
frills and luxury items in projects,
through the letting of contracts on
competitive bids, through large-scale
purchases and the intelligent timing
of labor on the sites, through sub
stantial savings in the cost of in:ur-
ance, and through considerable saw
ings in financing costs by virtue of
short-term financing during construc-
tion."
The fact that the unit cost of USHA
projects is SO much less than that of
privately financed construction is even
more remarkable in the light of the
fact that the USHA projects are built
to last several generations and that
labor employed in construction is paid
on prevailing wage schedules, the re-
port declares.
Costs Still Falling
From September, 1888 to July,
1910, the average net construction
cost per unit fell from S2,94S to S2,-
572-a reduction of 1913 per cent.
Since the period for which the re-
port was made there has been a still
further reduction in unit cost, Admin
istrator Straus said. "The fact that
local housing authorities have been
able to reduce costs in the face of ris-
ing prices in the construction indus
try everywhere due to the present un-
parallel activity is in itself notable
achievement" he said.
Jobs Given Thousands
Construction during the year kept
thousands of American workers, both
at the sites and in industry, busy, the
report stated.
"The entire present program" it
said, "calls for about 115,000 man
years of direct employment for car
penters, plasterers, plumbers, brick
layers, and other building trades
workers at prevailing wages, under
good conditions.
"An estimated additional 170,OC0
man-years of indirect employment
away from project cites will be re-
quired in mines, mills, factories, and
additional thousands of man-years of
indirect employment will be called for
in administrative, architectural, and
work."

Way CledredFor
I.T.U. Reuffilidtion
A. F. Of L. Executive Council
Approves agreement For
Ending Suspension

Miami, QLNS).-Opening the way
for return of the International Typo
graphical Union to the American Fed
Grafton of Labor fold, the A. F. Of l..
Executive Council approved a reaffili-
alton agreement, which will be sub
mitted to the printers for ratification.
| Approval of the agreement came as
the Executive Council swung into the
second week of it's midwinter meeting
here. Other action taken by the coun-
Gil included support Of five amend
ments to the wage-hour law and ex-
preston of opposition to certain pro-
visions in proposed state and anti
sabotage laws.
The |. T. U. reaffiliation agreement
was drawn up by committees desig-
mated by the A. F. of l.. and the
printers. President William Green of
the Federation announced that the
terms had been approved by the l. T.
U. executive board and delegates from
the printers to past Federation con-
ventions.
Printers Expected to Approve Pact
President Green said that Claude
M. Baker, l. r. U. president, and his
executive board would recommend ap-
proval by the membership and that
he expected decisive affirmative vote
by the printers.
The l. T. U. was suspended by the
Federation in 1889 after it had re-
fused to pay special assessment of
l cent per month per member to the
A. F. of L. for an organizing cam
paign which the printers charged was
mainly for "war chest" to fight the
CIO. The late Charles P. Howard,
l. T. U. president, was secretary of
the CIO and opposed to the payment
Of the special assessment.
Endorsement of amendments to the
wage-hour law, which will not be
pressed at this time, came after a
conference of Col. Philip B. Fleming,
administrator of the act, with the
Executive Council.
Five Amendments Seen Necessary
President Green said the confer
ence convinced the council that clari-
flying amendments to the wage-hour
act would have to be passed ultimate
ly by Congress. These amendments
would, he said, specifically define what
is meant by "service" industries, au-
thorize the administrator to give ad-
visory opinions to employers, define
more specifically intrastate and in
terstate industries, give better pro-
lection to employees who furnish in
formation to the wage-hour admins
tration and fix statute of limitations
for the filing of suits against en-
ployers.
While approving legislation de-
signed to punish sabotage, the Exec
utive Council took strong exception
to provisions in proposals backed by
the National Conference of Mayors
and already under consideration in
some state legislatures. Actually, the
suggested laws may be used against
union members engaged in legitimate
activities, Green declared.
Direct Tax on Radio to be Asked
In fact, he said, pickets, strikers or
workers making normal mistakes
might be severely punished under
such legislation, he added.
The Executive Council voted to use
it's influence against the suggested
measures in each state.
1t was announced here that A. F.
of L. unions in the printing industry
will ask Congress to place direct tax

LANSING. Feb. = Although
offered eight additional seats in
the House of Representatives, De-
troit's II legislators today blocked
proposed constitutional amend
ment TO divide the city into legis-
lative districts, thus shortening
the ballot and ending primary
election confusion.
In spite of preliminary Demo-
cratic victor. however, Republi-
caa leaders predicted the measure
will reach the floor Tuesday and
will be passed in time to place the
propoSal on the ballot at the April
7 election.
The offer of eight additional
seats in the lower house was made
To the Detroit delegation by COP
leaders yesterday in an effort to
get the measure TO the floor and,
at the same time, appease De-
troits demand for the representa-
ton supposed to be guaranteed TO
the city by the Constitution.
