companies. In April, 1916, 5l9.-
600 or 49.5 per cent of the total

telephone industry. The tele-
phone industry absorbed $4,000

between April, 1915 and April.
1916.
In spite Of the rapid growth
and decentralization of the tele-
phone industry in local corn
munities, and the need for addi-
tonal workers. it remains diff
cult for Negro workers to get
one Of the S44 81 per week jobs.
Particularly is this true in At

VET HOUSING WILL
GET TOP PRIORITY
Hope. To Provide Homes
For 100000 GI Fami-
lies By Sept. 80

WASHINGTON, June 15.-UD-
The government announced tonight
it will grant top priorities on ma
terials for the Emergency Veter-
ans Housing Program to speed
completion by Sept. 80 of tempo
rary dwellings for 100, 900 ex-GIs
and their families.
Housing Expediter Wilson W
| Wyatt said lack Of equipment ano
materials has seriously retarded
the projects. He said the delays
threaten "to prevent thousands Of
veterans from entering universities
and colleges this fall"
The dwellings are allocated about
equally between educational insti-
buttons and cities to relieve the
"rnost acute cases of distress
among veterans"
The goal for the entire year is
completion of 200, 900 units through
conversion of surplus war housing
military barracks and other gov
eminent buildings. So far, only 49,.
500 dwellings have been started
and 15,395 completed, Wyatt re-
ported.
He said the rate of beginning con
struction has reached an alarm
ing rate of decrease" falling to a
new low during the last week OF
May.
"These %priorities will continue
only for the time needed to cure
or prevent shutdown OF projects,
Wyatt said. ut is expected their
use will be limited largely TO the
next 80 days"
He estimated priority ratings
will be extended to only about three
per cent of all materials produced
during this period.
The new assistance, Wyatt said,
should make possible completion
Of half the goal by Sept. 80. There
after, he added, continuous con-
struction should go forward SO
that by the end of 1e46 "all 300
