More Funds Given to
Formers Group
For Looms in Stute

An increase in appropriations
for farm-operating credit for
the fiscal year that began July
l was announced this week by
Claude B. Conant Jr., county
supervisor of the Farmers Home
administration.
~Conant said the amount for
operating loans in Montana is
81, 795, 900, a 20 per cent increase
over last years funds. The
agency is also authorized to in
sure farm real estate loans made
by private lenders and to make
direct farm ownership loans in
the state.
direct or insured farm pur-
chase loans are available to
qualified farmers, tenant S,
Sharecroppers and veterans who
can find sound-value farms
and who cannot get the credit
they need elsewhere" Conant
pointed out. Loans are made
or insured only on farms that
will pay out in terms of their
long-range earning capacity
rather than at today's relative
ly high farm prices.
Conant's statement continued:
Funds are also available for
water facility Development, and
flood emergency loans can be
made in the western part of the
state.
Changes recently made in the
insured mortgage program are
designed to broaden o%pportuni-
ties for family-type farmers to
become farm owners. Lenders
now get three per cent interest
instead of two and a half pei
cent. Borrowers pay four pei
cent interest on both direct and
insured loans, with the one pei
cent difference in insured loans
going to the Farmers Home
administration for insurance
charges and administrative ex-
penseS. The agency services the
loan without extra cost to the
borrowers or to the credit in
stitution.
Lenders now have an assured
market for mortgages. From
now on, they may turn over thu
mortgages to the government
after seven years and be paie
in full. It is felt that these re-
visions in the Bankhead-Jone;
farm tenant act will provide 9
greater incentive to private
lenders to help farmers buy
arms. AS formerly, all types OF
loans will be ACCOMPANIED BY
supervision in good farm pract-
Ices and veterans will continue
to receive preference.

Unions Agree To
Freeze Wages AS
Spur To Building

New York (LPA) = If building
and construction costs continue to
restrict erection of sorely needed
homes and industrial plants and
public works in New York, the
blame will not lie with members of
the unions in the industry.
Under an agreement announced
last week, employers and the Build
ing & Construction Trades Council
of Greater N. Y.-AFL have frozen
wages until July l, 1949. Wage in
creases averaging about 5 per cent
for some Of the crafts were incor-
porated in the agreement, which
covers 10 per cent of the quarter
million workers in the metropolitan
area.
President Howard McSpedon OF
the council and Chairman Fred j.
Driscoll of the employers group
also announced that formula for
another wage increase when the
agreement expires depends on how
much the cost of living index of
the Bureau of Labor Statistics rises
between now and July 1, 1949.
Earlier in the week, McSpedon
had told a subcommittee of the
Joint Congressional Committee on
Housing, which held hearings here,
that something must be done to
encourage starting of apartments
whose rent middle and lower-in-
come families could afford.

Overseas Gables
Quie+ As 5000
Workers Strike

New York (LPA)-Two thirds OF
normal overseas cable facilities
were shut off when 5000 communi-
cations workers left their jobs last
week. Companies now struck are
Mackay Radio, Commercial Cables,
IAll-American Gables, and Western
Union Cables.
Employees of the All-American
Cable Co., are represented by an
unaffiliated union, but its stri ke
plans have been coordinated with
those of the American Communica-
tions Assn which represents the
workers in the other firms. All OF
the companies except Western
Union are operating subsidiaries OF
the American Cable & Radio Corp,
which in turn is a part of the In
ternational Telephone & Telegraph
system.
The unions have asked for 80
per cent wage increase and con-
tinued union security guarantees.
AGA President Joseph Selley told
the press that "The four compan-
les have rejected our demands out
of hand and have provocatively pro
posed extension of the present
working hours, wage cuts, and a
free hand to eliminate employees" "
Forest l.. Henderson, executive
vice-president of American Cable d
Radio claims 1947 operating losses
force the company to refuse con-
sideration of any wage demands.
Federal Conciliator John A..
DAILY, admitting that no progress
had been made towards an under
standing between the unions and
the three IT&T companies, had eX-
pressed hope of averting a walk
out in Western Unions cable dl-
vision. He thought that Western
Union might have been willing to
agree to the same sort of fact
finding board that it accepted fin
ally in its dispute on non-Wage
issues with its domestic operators.
While AGA has in the past at
tempted to prevent innsbruck cable
companies from absorbing the eX-
ira load available to them during
strikes, it will not employ this stra-
tegy now, President Selley said.
The Quota system has been aban-
doned in the current dispute to in
crease competitive pressure on the
IT&T companies.
