CIO Textile Workers Sponsor
Own Housing at Front Royal

should be constructed to facilitate
the recruiting Of rayon workers for
the expanded tire cord plant of the
American Viscose Corp.
The union argued that the hous-
ing should be loW-cost, to be rented
or sold for monthly payments
within the budget of the average
textile worker. 1t contended the
development should be permanent,
because operations at Front Royal
are expected to continue at about
the same level as required in war
time.
Legislative limitations on public
housing funds make it impossible
to provide sufficient number of
permanent rental units now, Mr..
Edeman said.
To test its own ideas, the TWUA
organized legal corporation known
as the Old Dominion Housing Corp
to build and hold title to the de-
velopment it will operate. Initial
capital was subscribed by union
members, some funds being invested
directly out of national and local
union treasures. The corporation is
nonprofit.

Something new in public housing
being tried at Front Royal, Va.
The CIO Textile Workers Union
America has started work on a
,0-uni' nonprof1t, FHA-insured
project for textile workers.
Construction started several days
ago, and a brief ground breaking
ceremony was held yesterday, with
union and Government officials par
ticipating.
While the textile workers and
other unions have sponsored other
wartime housing developments, Of
ticialS say this is the first time a
union project has been organized
along lines similar to that used
in other FHA projects.
Test of Economy.
Aim of the experiment, says John
w. Edelman, Washington repre-
sentative of the TWUA, is ito test
the possibilities of reducing cost
while improving standards in hous-
ing built for war workers and to
establish pattern for home build
ing in planned communities for low
and middle income workers in the
postwar period"
The project now under construc-
tion will cost approximately $780,
900, and the union has purchased
ground and applied for priorities
for an additional 100 units, rails
ing the cost of the proposed 15O-
home development to s75O,OOO.
IF this project had been carried
out with private capital along GUS
tomary lines" Mr.. Edelman told a
reported, 1T would have an ap-
praised value of something like
81 $50 900. BY squeezing out all the
profits we hope to keep it to
$3.50 ,oO0."
If the plan is successful, he said
the union plans to extend it to other
textile centers.
Ceiling Fixed at $4,990.
Ceiling prices of $4,000 have beer
fixed by the War Production Board
and the National Housing Agency
Union officials say the houses will
sell for approximately $500 down
with monthly payments below $50
Monthly rentals will be about $35.
"The size and Inability of the
union-sponsored houses will be su.
perior to the ordinary run of dwell
ings built by private builders under
wartime priorities, Mr.. Edelmar
declared.
"All units in the Stonewall Heights
development, the name being given
this job, will be masonry con-
structed with full cellar and foul
rooms on the first floor. An in.
sulated, but unfinished, second hool
is included. After the war, the sec.
ond floor can be readily converted
