had been attacked.

Association, was presented to the

president, who was presiding.
In the letter, read by Mr.. Willett,
Mr.. Melcher characterized the Fed
Grafton vote of June 2, opposing the

having been passed by only 4 votes
at 1880 that night"

she was a member of the Federation
committee which drafted the reso-
luton, attacked the Housing Asso-
citation In a short speech to the

Housing Association had tried to
depreciate property values" and
that to keep it in the Chest would
handicap" the attempts of the
Chest to raise its budget from the
public.
Defending the four groups at
tackled, President Ernest Griffith of
the Council Of Social Agencies said
contributors to the Chest were not
expected to agree with the work OF
every agency in the Chest. Mrs
Albert w. Atwood defended the
Housing Association. DR.. G. G. Will
kinson, first assistant superintendent
of schools in charge of colored
schools, explained work Of the
