mateIy 10000 homes started by at

mate was conservative. ConStruc-

dicted.

ton may come in l948, it was pre-
dicted. In 1912 builders produced

Of how the United Mine Workers
collect the money.
While the various UNIV districts
may be required to contribute, law
yers point out, Justice Goldsborough
took jurisdiction over the case, and
presumably no other court would be
involved in the matter. It all de-
pends, of couSse, on what the Su-
preme Court does.
Mr.. Lewis personally was fined
$4,000 for contempt of court in re-
fusing to obey Justice Goldsbor-
ough's order which would, in effect,
have kept the miners at work pend
ing settlement of the Governments
petition for injunction. The Dis
trict also would receive so per cent
of that fine, but that would be a
small matter compared to the
amount which the court ordered the
union to pay.
If the District collects the So, ,100,-
600 plus, 1t would go into the gen.

ment, Mr.. Pilkerton said, to be spent
