Labor Union Membership
At All-Time High

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-A gain
of about one and one-half million
union members in the last year, to a
national total of about 100000
members, has been registered by the
United States trade union movement,
according to reports of various unions.
Unofficial figures from AFL, CIO
and unaffiliated labor organizations
forecast that the official totals, to be
made public at the national labor con-
ventions, this fall, would register this
new record high in union membership.
The AFL total, based on per capita
dues payments from 106 national and
international unions and federal labor
unions, including the Machinists who
have since withdrawn, were given in
June as 6,250,000.
The CIO meanwhile has recouped
the loss of 100000 caused by the with
drawal of the United Mine Workers
a year ago, and added more, according
to CIO spokesmen, who gave the cur
rent CIO total as 100000.
Unafiliated unions, including the
mine workers, the four railway broth
erhoods, with total membership of
bout 100000, the typographical
union, with $4,000, the brewery work
ers, with 10000, and the independent
unions among telephone and other in
dustries with unknown numbers, ac-
count for total of not less than one
and one-half million workers.

Change Little Steel Formula

(From Cigar Makers Official Journal
1t is our considered opinion that
the Little Steel formula will of neces-
sity have to be changed, and soon.
If and when the formula is changed
the War Labor Board can rightfully
take into consideration the enormous
increase in the cost of living food
especially-in the area affected.
Furthermore, the War Labor Board
should pay some attention to allowing
more reasonable wage increases for
workers in industries where wages
are substandard or near the sub
standard level, the cigar manufacture
ing industry, for example, where a
percentage increase in our opinion is
far from being equitable. There is a
vast difference between percentage
wage increase for a worker whose
minimum is $100 an hour and cigar
maker whose minimum is 40 cents an
hour.

FHA Starts Survey
To Gauge Ability 10
Meet etHousing Demand

The local office of the Federal
Housing Administration, along with
other field headquarters, has started
an investigation into capacities of
the construction industry to take up
postwar home building activities,
Commissioner Abner H. Ferguson
said today.
FILA also has began consultations
with the building materials industry
to estimate quantities of supplies
and equipment available for housing
when restrictions are removed.
The two Investigations are re-
garded as imortant In the MIA
program because it is expected find
ings will provide a foundation for
prospective demands for new pri-
vately financed housing in these
markets after the war, location of
desired sites, and the probable ca
pacity OF industry to meet the
market.
Have Close Contacts.
while FHA operations under
wartime conditions are concentrated
primarily on assisting the construc-
ton of privately financed war hous-
ing, the Importance of prompt re-
sumption of large-scale building
operations after the war points to
the wisdom of making all possible
advance preparations for the post
war markets." Mr.. Ferguson de-
clared. eve are therefore under
taking this survey in order to be
better prepared to assist the build
ing industry in reviving normal &C
tivlties Immediately after the neces-
sary wartime restrictions on con-
struction are lifted"
FHA field officers are in close con-
tact with private building opera
tions in all sections of the country.
AS one of the operating units of the
National Housing Agency, the FHA
processes priorities applications for
all dwellings built under MIA local
quotas for privately financed war
housing and insures mortgages
financing upward of IS per cent of
all private war housing. Ip the i'm
mediate prewar period, about 35 per
cent Of all new private housing was
financed with FILA insured mort
cages and built in accordance With
FHA minimum standards, it was
pointed out.
In the current survey, FLA field
ofhces will supply information on
the following questions for each
metropolitan area in the country:
l. Is there sufficient land suitable
for residential development. and
