Housing Starts
Drop In Oct.

WAHIN TON, D. c. -
Housing starts dropped in Octo-
Der when builders started 10000
new permanent nonfarm dwell
ing units. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics, u. S. Department of
Labor announced this and re-
ported further that this is de-
cline of 5000 from the Septem-
Der estimate.
The starts are $4,000 under
October 1947, the peak month
for last year, when a housing
boom occurred in the autumn
months.
This year, with the return to
a more normal seasonal trend,
housing starts maintained a high
plateau of almost 100000 units
per month during April, May.
June, and July.
During the first 10 months of
1948, over 100000 new perma-
nent nonfarm dwellings units
were put under construction,
compared with 710,50 units for
the corresponding months of
1947.
Construction of rental-type
units continued to play an i'm
portant part in the 1948 housing
VI Day, rental units comprised
gains. In the period following
around II percent of the total
number of units under construc-
ton. The proportion rose to IA
percent during the second half
of 1947 and to 20 percent in the
first half of 1948.
However, this is far under
the record attained during the
housing boom of the middle and
late twenties when 40 percent of
all new dwelling units put un-
der construction were Of the
rental type.

President Harry Martin, who Is

flew to the convention from Bu-

gathering that ERP is quickly
winning the confidence of Euro
pean labor movement despite the
fact that the Russians made an
earlier start in the propaganda
field.
The convention passed a for
eign policy resolution reaffirm-
ing support of UN and the Eu-

resolution also reaffirmed CIO
opposition to Franco Spain. A
minority of about 5 delegates op-
posed the resolution along with
one giving CIO officers author
ity to consult with the British
TUG about the future of the
World Federation of Trade I'm
ions.
Communists Counted
Another important resolution
on which the Communists stood
up and where counted was the
one on political action, which
hailed the election results as
great victory for the American
people and rejected any and all
proposals for a third party. Muir
ray had earlier given a tongue
lashing to the pro-CPers for
their role in the Wallace cam

Two important quest speakers
devoted their talks to the need
for new labor legislation in this
country. Labor Secretary Mau-
rice Tobin declared that the Nov.
2 election was "a clear and posi-
tive mandate fro mthe Ameri-

Hartley law, raise the minimum
wage, increase social security
benefits, strengthen the Labor
Dept, establish a low-cost hous-
ing program and raise the stand

Republican Senator Wayne
Morse asserted that simple re-
peal of the Taft-H Hartley act is
not enough. What is needed in
my Judgment" said Morse, "is
which repeals the
Taft Hartley act and re-enacts
the Wagner act with some need
ed revisions that will correct in
Justices and make it fair to both

convention, of course passed
resolution calling for immediate
repeal of TIL and restoration of

were passed calling for enact
