eco EAST, YOUNG MEN,"
AUTO TRAILER MAKERS
TELL THEIR statesmen

Trailer coach makers in the
past have concentrated selling
drives in the west and south,
where the spaces are wide and
the call of the road strong.
But in 1913, they say, they're
going after the fasteners.
Symbolic of the swing is the
decision of the Trailer Coach
Manufacturers Association to
hold future conventions and
exhibits in the east as we'll as
the west.
Statesmen for the mushroom
ed trailer industry-it's doing
ten times it's pre-war business.
This year trailer sellers
hope to sign up more than co.
600 buyers; in 1911 total out
put was only 1000.
The twelve and a half doz-
en- trailers ION stage" at the
convention here range from a
utility model selling for mea-
ger 81, 295 to the swankies
tagged at $4,000.

The TheOCra+

The 1913 models CLEAN with
many new gadgets and inno-
vations. For instance, a new
33-foot trailer with a built-in
nursery.
A trailer with built-in sun
porch that folds against the
back wall when the family is
ready to hit the road; a model
with a fireplace. It works, too.
The president of the asso-
citation, says "the economy of
trailer living is now our prime
selling argument" Industry
statisticians armed with cal
culating machines have figur-
ed it costs an average of $21 a
month the year round to in
habit a trailer. This includes
space rental, heat, electricity
and water, they say.

Nearby schools will be used as

Parent Teachers associations,
teachers, and ministers are CO.

met with business men in the La
Toilette Park area to draw them
into the movement. Police cap
tains have given helping hand
too, according to Miss Ryan.
Both projects are temporary

immediate needs of homeless vets.
Both follow the CHA's non-dis-
elimination policy. Thirty-nine
units are opening at the LaFol-

clearance agency, opposed Dy
Lined up behind the proposed.
agency, one can expect to find
the Chicago Plan Commission,
real estate and similar groups.
Motivating their action is a desire
for an agency which will side
step public housing and maintain
segregation in housing.
1t was the Chicago Plan Com
mission, an Influential organiza-
ton, which originally proposed
creation of a separate agency for
buying, clearing, and re-selling
land
UNLIKE the Chicago Housing
Authority, which already has
these powers, separate agency
could disregard the problam of
housing families made homeless
by its action. 1t could get around
the no-discrimination policy laid
upon public agencies.
A proposal TO erect separate
land clearance agency was in
froduced in a council sub-com-
mittee recently by Alderman
Clarence Wagner t14th ward).
The corporation counsel's Of
flee was instructed to prepare
an ordinance for submission to
the commission.
Chairman of the sub-commit-
tee is Alderman George Kells.
Kells asserts he will fight the
measure with all his powers, de-
nouncing it as the end of low
cost housing for the people who
need housing most.
BUT Kennedy, closely associ
ated with the Plan Commission,
has made repeated reference in
his campaign speeches to the
need for land clearance agency.
One can expect the Plan Com
mission to be strengthened by
Kennelly's election.
Under certain conditions not
now existing in Chicago, a CEN
tralized land clearance agency
would undoubtedly have much
merit. Under existing conditions
there can be no doubt that it
would serve to block low-cost
housing and enforce racial segre-
cation in housing.
