Henderson Orders
Rents Sldshed In
Defense Districts
Will Exercise Powers Given
Him Under Price Con-
troll Act

Washington, d. C.-Price Admins
traitor Henderson cracked down on ris-
ing rents in an official order giving 20
groups of communities in 13 states a
time limit of 60 days during which to
bring their rents down.
The areas affected, Henderson said,
are those in which defense industries
are concentrated and housing has be-
come scarce with resultant rent goug-
ing.
If landlords in these communities
fail to reduce rents to reasonable
levels, Henderson warned, he will eXer-
else powers given to him under the
Price Control Act to force them down.
In most cases recommendations were
that rents be lowered to the level pre-
vailing on April /, 1911.
Henderson said he will strike hard
and rapidly in Il hundred additional
areas where rents have doomed unfair.
ly. Emphasizing that rent increases
have primarily hit defense workers in
low-income groups, Henderson added
There is no form of profiteerine
that strikes more severely at these
groups than unwarranted increases in
rents In sections of the country where
large defense plants and Army canton,
mentS have sprung up with resultant
sharp increases in population, rents
have scared beyond all reason placing
a distressing burden upon men an,
women giving their best efforts to waG
production"
The American Federation Of Labor
made a national survey last October
showing shocking lack of housing ir
defense areas and exposing heartless
rent gOuging

Fight For Specidl
Payments To War;
Displaced Workers
President Willium Green
Pledges Continued Bat
tie By A. F. Of L.

Washington, ID. c. CLASSIFICATION
of the House Deficiency subcommittee
in rejecting President Roosevelt's plan
for providing special unemployment
benefits for workers displaced by war
time changes will not stop efforts of
the American Federation of Labor to
obtain such benefits, President William
Green of the federation promised in a
statement issued here.
The plan proposed by President
Roosevelt provided an appropriation of
$1O0,OO0OOO for distribution to the dis
placed workers by the WPA. Earlier,
the House Ways and Means Committee
rejected another White House plan,
which would have authorized payments
by the Social Security Board, in addi-
ton to unemployment insurance bene-
fits under state systems.
Action Extremely Unwisc"
President Green, after referring to
the action of the House committee in
rejecting the second plan, said:
I'VE deem this action extremely un-
wise, but we will not let it stop our
efforts in behalf of the millions of
American workers who have been dis
placed from their jobs through no fault
of their own.
Il am going to take this matter up
again with President Roosevelt in the
expectation that some other method
may be found of achieving our objec.
tive.
THE claim has been made by Oppon-
entS of the unemployment cOmpenSa'
ton proposals thus far proposed that
the states are we'll able to take care
of this problem. This is not in accord
with the facts, to put it mindly Fur
thermOre, the states are not logically
responsible for this widespread wal
unemployment.
L. :. "Directly Responsible"
THE Federal Government is reSpon-
sible. 1t is directly responsible. 1t has
issued priority orders which have
closed down thousands of factories and
thrown hundreds of thousands of men
and women out of work. 1t has ordered
The conversion of industries from
DeHce-time to war production and mil
lions have lost their jobs while thc
changeovcr is proceeding. These men
and women were actually put out OF
work by the Government of the United
States and the Government of the Unit.
ed States is morally bound to help tide
them over Il temporary period of un
employment.
Our appeals in behalf of these un
employed workers are not based solely
on moral grounds. From practical
point Of view, it is Il diSgraceful anC
criminal waste of our human resources
| for America to let these millions OF
workers sit around idle when we know
| that in Il short time to come there ma !
| be Il shortage of trained workers il
war industries. We can prevent such
Il shortage by training these unem
p!oycd workers now, while we have the
opportunity, in new Skills and meth
DDS. That is what we propose to ac.
compliSh by this legislation.
Further delay or failure to act
will only handicap America in winning
the war
