ell for permission to sponsor a carni-
val. May to II, ON property of the

avenue
Granting Of the permit was strongly
opposed by Councilman George &.
Benin. who declared that inasmuch as
the city collected license fees from
various local businesses, such as res
taurantS and the operators of mechan-
ical amusement devices, it would be
unfair 10 local business men TO allow
an outside party to come TO town and
operate free Of charge. The council
man also cited the nuisance value OF
such carnivals TO surrounding proper
~ owners, and lack of facilities for
protecting the public health.
There is an ordinance prohibiting
carnivals within the city limits, but

Benefit from Federal
Housing Project

The City Council recently petitiOned
the Federal Public Housing Authority
To consider WyandOtte and adjacent
communities as a site for housing fac
ilitieS in connection with the Ford
bomber plant. now nearing completion
at Willow Run. In view of local in
tereSr i'll the matter. the following is
reprinted from the Michigan Manufac-
turer and Financial Record:
With the establishment MT of Il branch
office in Detroit by the Federal Pub
lie Housing Authority, definite action
i promised for the housing of approx
imately JOO,OO0 persons in the region
of the Ford Moor COmpany's bomber
plant ut Willow Run. The Detroit of
flee is headed by Col +. Charles Starr
who regularly is stationed al the Fifth
rt tgiOnal office i'll Chicago.
Col. Starr stated that at least lOO.-
ONO workers would be employed at the
Willow Run plant by June, 1913. 1t
is recognized that dispersal and diff
fusion of workers throughout built-up
areas already supplied with utilities
is highly desirable" Col. Starr said.
But the difficulties of transportation
imposed by the rubber shortage will
force lis 10 make many concessions
and compromises. In all probability.
the solution will lie somewhere be-
tween this plan and IA sO-called bomb
er city"
There is reason TO believe that the
Mil h
er plant operation with a trained per
sOnnel, taking approximately 3j,OOO to
10000 men from its Rouge plant" Col.
Starr continued. Whether these peO-
pie will continue TO live in their pre-
sent locations is not known. 1t is a
problem with which We must reckon.
Following closely upon the opening
Of the Detroit branch office, the State
Land Office Board decided that 2O,OO
vacant lots in the area west Of De
trOit will be offered 10 the Federal
Public Housing Authority as home
site for Ford bomber plant workers.
We understand the federal govern
nAnt does not buy land except through
condemnation said AuditOr-General
Vernon j. Brown. chairman of the
Oul nave bNCh dppANASSN'
III it is possible for us to Use the ap-
Draised values as the basis of friend
ly cOndemna ion suit, we are prepa red
To go as far as we can.
The lots in question reverted TO the
state for non payment of taxes. Brown
said most of them already have side
walks. sewers. power, water and other
household facilities necessary for
househOlders. Brown has cOntended
for months that housing for defense
workers logically might be built on
tax-reyerted lots. where needed facili-
ties already exist. rather than i'll a
nsw subdivision where all improve
InpntS must be installed.
Some idea Of the scope of Detroit :
Forthcoming housing problem was in
dicated recently by w. j. Guinan. ex
eclrtive director Of the Builders AsSO-
ciai ion 0f Metropolitan Detroit. He
said that DetrOit's full war prOduc-
ton schedule will require 10000 mi
grant workers between now and June
1913. and that these probably will in
clude 10000 men with families. or al
estimated total OF $4,000 persons
This would require 10000 housing
units 70 he built in the Detroit area
within the next Is months, or 1900
more than were built in Detroit from
1g21 To 1910 inclusive.

plants which ordinarily account for
50 per cent Of the manufacture in the

There will be deficit Of 10000 in

ductiOn, part Of which may be- made
up by workers within committing dis

BY PAUL BARKLEY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30-(P0
Surrender of the 35 hour, five
day work week was posed today
as a question facing John l..
Lewis's United Mine Workers
convention opening Oct 6 at
Cincinnati
Lewis, meeting yesterday with
coal mine operators at the re-
quest of solid fuels coordinator
Ickes to consider longer working
hours to increase coal produc-
ton for war needs, said he
could not commit the UNIV IN
advance of its convention.
Expressing the opinion that
miners would not give up the 80
hour week unless il was shown
conclusively that it was neceS-
sary for the war effort, Lewis
suggested another meeting be
held with the operators oct. Il
after the Cincinnati convention,
Lewis insisted that any long
or hour negotiations be under
taken on a national basis instead
of by regions, into which the BIZ
luminous coal industry is broken
up
Negotiations with the anthra-
cite operators would be handled
separately.
LcwiS's proposal failed to win
an informal vote of approval at
Yesterdays meeting, a majority
of bituminous operators favor
ing negotiation on a reglonal
basis.
IF we have to break the in
dustry up into segments to ne
gotiate, it means conclusions
will be delayed while one group
of operators takes refuge behind
the other, each saying let the
other do it, the mine leader de-
clared.
After rejecting Lewis's pro-
posal for national negotiation the
meeting adjourned upon agree
ing on one thing-to report 10
Ickes on what had transplred.
This apparently left the mat
ter where it stood when the fuel
coordinator called the meeting.
In asking for a longer work
week, Ickes said the manpoWer
problem in the mines had be-
come serious, but Lewis con-
tended that more efficient and
consistent operation of mines
should produce all coal needed
for the war.
Ickes announced meanwhile
that dealers and consumers Stor-
ed an estimated 5,104 900 tons OF
bituminous coal during August,
bringing the total soft coal stocks
