tain, after making due allowance
for the lack of dependents of single
workers and for variations in the
number of wage-earners and de-
pendents in a family, the health,

and (2) "the value of the service
or class Of service rendered"
BY requiring the Wage-Hour Adj
ministrator to appoint Industry
Committees Immediately to lower
or boost the minimum down as low
as soc or as high as zoe, the Ball
bill would give an incentive to GER
tain industries to discriminate in
employment against married work
ers with dependents and in favor
of single workers without depen-
dents. As former Senator Tunnel
Of Delaware said on the Senate
floor the last time this idea was
offered, "What do we want, a
nation of spinsters and bachelors? :?
Or, assuming the biological urge to
be what some people say it is, do
we want to put a discount on mar
riage and the family as the basic
pattern of American life while we
put n premium on free love-"
The use of the words "value of
the service" goes back TO depres-
sion days, as labor witnesses told
Ball, back to the time when work
ers could be hired for as little as
SO a week.
4. The House tacks a ride on an
appropriation bill transferring the
US Employment Service out Of the
Labor Dept to the Federal Secur-
ity Agency, against the pleas of
both the AFL and the CIO, and
the press and radio don't even men

b. Big industry, acting in appar-
ent concert, attempts to smother
labor's demands for wage increases
by phoney price reductions" most
ly in headlines. Steel, meat-pack-
ing, electrical goods, autos etc, fall
i'm line, say no to wage demands,
and nine unions representing p
10000 workers are provoked to
the final desperate resort of the
strike.
6. Most vital, labor has no can
didate for President who can unite
the decent people of the country
for recapture of the White House
and the Congress at the polls next
November. Wallace, Taylor and the
Communists continue to split our
ranks, making more likely the cleo
ton Of thoroughly reactionary
President and Congress.
All this, plus the international
situation, is "A dim reflection of the
evil that will be upon US if labor
fails TO get winning candidate
and a majority for him and sup
porting candidates next November.
Everything in between, including
wage negotiations and strikes, is
a holding operation.

Mr.. Duffy spoke at 1000 a. m.
with Reese coming to the same
platform at in the afternoon. Our
president is not certain, but be-
lieves Reese was present at least
during a part of his speech.
Mr.. Reese began his talk by say
ing that since the representatives
had heard all about Scio in the
morning it was hardly necessary
for him to say anything further
but that Duffy's charges were alb
solutely untrue. Reese, it is well to
note, did not attempt any further
to refute Duffy's charges. He then
launched into his usual rambling of
glorifying himself as the master
psychologist, bringing into play his
tremendous influence for making
his employees idolize the man LEV
Reese" which resulted in "A rebuild
ing miracle after his plant burned
According to Reese his employees,
with only pottery experience, prov
ed themselves geniuses in building
trades work. He cited the instance
of women employees who perform
ed all kinds of building tradesmen's
tasks, taking special pains to re-
late how a group of women volun-
teered TO put the roofs on the new
buildings. How one young woman
who after climbing to a high scaf-
fold suddenly became overwhelmed
with fear sat motionless until fin
ally Reese, the master, ascended
the ladder and after talking to her
in his inimitable way gave her con
fidence to arise and go down the
ladder, but after she had descend
ed half way inspiration sprang in
the heart and soul Of the young
lady and turning she said, Lew Pm
going back up this ladder and do
my work" And from that time on
he said she could walk a beam
with as much confidence and as
expertly as any CONSTITUTIONAL iron
workers who ever came on To such
a building job.
After Reese had talked at some
length. as a parting shot at Presi-
dent Duffy he said, 81 do not be-
lieve in preaching the Golden Rule,
i practice it. If cannot say some
thing good about somebody, | will
not say anything" He then con
cluded momentarily with this gem,
"that gentlemen is exactly why |
am standing here before you say
ing nothing"
After Reese finished his speech
he approached President Duffy and
ask if he could talk with him. Duff
fly readily accepted the invitation.
The conversation opened with
Reese asking what he, Duffy hoped
to gain by speaking as he did in
the morning Of the Scio Pottery
operations. Duffy replied that he,
Reese had been having plenty Of
opportunities to talk and surely
the Brotherhood representatives
were entitled TO their say publicly
also. Intrusions and Interruptions

NIT any further conversation be-

Solution Of Housing
Problem in Is Months
Possible, Woods Says

If Congress would mobilize the
Nations resources, the serious hous-
ing shortage could be solved in a
year and half, Housing Expediter
Tighe E. Woods declared today.
Mr.. Woods, addressing represent
atives of labor and veterans groups
in q conference at the Washington
Hotel, said rent control is neces-
sary only as long as the. shortage
exists.
| During the. last session, however,
Congress was not made sufficiently
aware of the seriousness of the
housing situation, he asserted. Un-
less it Is made aware of 1t in the
future, he predicted, rent control
will have to be continued for years
to come.
Cites District Conditions.
The present Rent Control Act is
scheduled to expire April l. There
was no disagreement at the con-
ference this mroning as to the
necessity of extending rent con-
troll for at least one more year.
A recent survey has shown the
present building program is totally
inadequate to satisfy the demand,
Mr.. Woods said, and the houses
being built are often not in the
vital low rental bracket.
In Washington, he pointed out,
some 1000 persons were living in
trailers and 10000 were living dou-
bled up with other families last
year. There are 5000 families on
waiting lists now for low-incOme
units, he said.
Rent Act Criticized.
The Housing and Rent Act passed
by Congress in its last session bore.
most of the blame for a rent sit
uation which the group generally
felt is unsatisfactory. Mr.. Woods
described the protection of tenants
under the act as "woefully weak"
and said Congress would be asked
for stronger controls to protect ten
ants from illegal evictions or the
threat of eviction: Such matters
now are handled by local courts, Mr..
Woods said, and in some places the
rights OF tenants are adversely af-
fected because of this.
Tenants are now inclined to
agree to any illegal rent increase,
he said, because the fear of eviction
and subsequent loss of shelter is
greater than any other considera-
ton. This fact is to a large extent
responsible for an extensive black
market in the rental field, Mr..
Woods said
Provisions in the act which permit
tenants to sue for treble damabes
in the case of illegal rents are
seldom used. the expeditor pointed
out, because the possibility of
financial benefit cannot outweigh
the alternate possibility of loss of
shelter.
Sees Act Misinterpreted.
An Interpretation Of the act con-
corning evictions was challenged at
the conference by Leo Goodman,
director of the CIO National Hous-
ing Committee.
According to MIR. Goodman, the
ONCE Of the Housing Expeditor has
interpreted the act so that a tenant
can be evicted within 60 days of the
time a landlord gives him notifica-
ton of his intention to start eviction
proceedings. This Interpretation,
Mr.. Goodman contended, is contrary
to the spirit Of the law, which would
allow a tenant 60 days before my
legal process for eviction could be

With reference to the recent de- cision of the Circuit Court of App peals affirming Judge Folta's order in the mandamus case brought by the Territory for repayment of $350,- 00O.O0 to the general fund by the Veterans Board, Norman Haley, Ter ritorial Commissioner of Veterans Affairs made the following state ment:

By direction of the Veterans Board, our office has held SITS, 100000 pending the Appeal Courts decision.
