Wisconsin Acts
To Aid Housing

Chicago (ILNS). - Wisconsin
Legislators recently took a major
step toward providing state money
for veterans housing. The National
Association of Housing Officials
says that the Wisconsin legislature
approved a proposed constitutional
amendment which would permit
the state to subsidize housing for
veterans.
Some $8,0O0,O00 was made avail
able for this purpose by the legis-
lature last year, but the money is
bottled up because the state sup
RENE court ruled that the state con-
stitution bans expenditures for
internal improvements
The proposed amendment would
exempt veterans housing from the
restriction. Before the amendment
can be finally adopted, it must be
approved by the regular session Of
the Legislature next year and then
by Wisconsin voters, probably next
April.

Painters Strike
To Break Dead ock

New York City (ILNS).-Two
thousand painters quit work Sept.
/ in Queens borough against 22
employers in an effort to end a
deadlock in negotiations that have
extended month beyond the ex-
piration of their contract. -Four
locals of the Brotherhood of Paint
ers, Decorators and Paperhangers
of America are involved in the dis
pute.
A union spokesman said the
strike would affect only those jobs
that are being done by the 22 con-
tractors who are association MEM
bers. Among them are several con-
struction projects and work at
Creedmoor State Hospital and
Queens General Hospital. Picket
lines were put around those pro-
jects where members of other
trades unions were employed, but
the hospitals were excepted.
The union had agreed to a one
month extension of the contract,
which expired July 81. A union
spokesman charged the employers
had failed during that month to
show any willingness to reach
peaceful agreement. The union is
demanding base pay of $275 an
hour. The employers have offered
$3.50. The old contract had a base
of $3.50. A union spokesman point
ed out that much of the work is
seasonal. He said many painters
were unemployed 5 months of the
year.

ALP FOR WALLACE

New York (LPA)-The Ameri-
can Labor Party of New York state
this week placed Progressive Party
candidates Henry Wallace and
Glen Taylor at the head of its
ticket. Once representing a number
of AFL and CIO unions in the
state, the ALPS trade union sup
port is now limited to left-wing
led ClO affliates and AFL locals.
Rep. Vito Marcantonio, party
called Wallace the cline
al political descendant of Franklin
Delano Roosevelt" and bitterly at
tackled President Truman, who he
said "has a sordid record against
the people who toll" But Marcan-
tonio's fiercest attacks were aimed
at New York's Mayor William
O'Dwyer who had ALP support
during his election fight, but has
since denounced the ALP and dis
charged city employees whose jobs
were obtained by ALP patronage.
Meanwhile candidate Wallace
was the target for eggs, tomatoes,
and rocks as he toured North
Carolina. Pres dent Truman
promptly branded the assault upon
MS opponent as "a highly un-Am-
srican business"

Massachusetts Program To Build
2O,O 900 Homes For Veterans Started

Chicago (ILNS).-Nearly LOG
Massachusetts cities have applied
for aid under the states new $780,
100000 housing program, the Ma
tional Association of Housing Of
ficials reports.
The program provides for NUM-
cipal construction and management
of 10000 low-rent dwellings for
veterans. Municipalities may issue
bonds to cover costs of land assem-
bly, and construction. The cities will
hire private builders to do the job.
Local housing bonds sold for this
purpose will be guaranteed by
$200,000,000 in state credit. In ad-
dition, the state will foot the bill
for part of the construction costs.
State subsidy is limited to $5,000,-
600 a year for 25 years, and to 2.5
percent of development costs of
any one project.
Already the number of local
housing authorities in Massachus-
etts has more than doubled as a
direct result of the program. Local
tiles must have housing authorities
before they are eligible for state
aid. The assistance is provided
through the state housing board.
More than 60 of the SO communit-
les that have applied so far created
their housing agencies since the
program started in May.
The amount of aid any one city
may get in credits is generally
limited to percent of the munich
pal assessed valuation. On this
basis, Boston may issue bonds up
to $48,000,00 and have them guar
100 percent by state credit.
The Massachusetts housing board
is also managing another housing
program which has a potential of
10000 units. Boston alone is build
ing 1,700 dwellings under the latter
program, which provides direct
subsidy for years by the state to
cover 10 percent of development
costs. Local housing authorities
may rent the dwellings for 5 years
after which they must be sold.

Truman Campaigns
For Ten-Year Plan
To Better Health

Washington (LPA) - President
Truman's administration will &C
before the voters this fall with
blueprints for a ten-year program
to improve the nations health-i1
the Democrats who have drawn uE
the plan are returned to office.
Federal Security Administrator
Oscar Ewing sent the ten-year pro-
gram to the White House last
week.
National health insurance-the
proposal strongly advocated by or
ganized labor and opposed vicious
ly by organized medicine repre-
sented by the American Medical
Ass'n-is the key point in the pro-
gram.
AFTER ALL" Ewing reported to
Truman, eve are dealing with hu-
man lives and human suffering and
anguish. Every year, over 100000
people die whom we have the know
ledge and the skills to save.
"This stark fact proves that the
present system is inadequate. By
and large, only the well-to-do and,
to certain extent, charity patients
get satisfactory medical care. The
in-between groups-other than the
fairly small portion who are cover
ed by voluntary insurance plans
are the ones desperately in need of
better care.
IL see no possible way to pro-
vide funds needed for adequate
medical service to these in-between
groups, who constitute the vast
majority of our people, except thru
a system of national health insur-
ance."
While, Ewing says, vast gains
have been made by medical science
in the past generation, there is
still much unnecessary loss. Here
diC Jilc IdClS.
Every year, 325,000 people die
whom we have the knowledge and
the skills to save.
Every year, the nation loses A.
100000 man-years of work thru
bad health.
Every year, the nation loses $27
billion in national wealth thru sick
ness and partial and total disabili-
ty.
Ewing's report to Truman pro-
poses increasing the number of
doctors and nurses, increasing the
number of hospital beds by 500,
aiding local public health organiza-
tions to become established, in
creasing research, and the health
program.

Sfufe, u. S. Lubor Officials Should
Leod In Fight On Unemployment
Frances Perkins Declares In Speech

Washington, d. c. (ILNS).-
State and federal labor officials
should demonstrate efficiency, plan
comparatively and take leadership
in the prevention of unemployment,
Frances Perkins, former Secretary
of Labor, told delegates to the In
ternational Association of Govern
ment Labor Officials recent con-
vention in Charleston, w. Va.
Miss Perkins spoke in response
to an award "for leadership in
building labor standards for AM
erican workers" given her at the
convention.
Unemployment" she said, "is
one of the great hazards that still
hovers over America. We believe
we have put some factors into our
economy in the form of wage-hour
and child labor legislation, old age
and unemployment insurance and
public employment Offices that will
slow down, and we hope will tend
to prevent, a sudden drop in en-
ployment to the point Of disaster"
The former Secretary urged
labor officials to develop "a coop
erative plan" of public works, of
work sharing, of opening up new
fields of opportunity and new IN
dustrial products ''that can go into
operation quickly" should it ever
become necessary.
Although labor departments do
not have exclusive jurisdiction IN
all these fields, she believes they
should take leadership in advance
planning because they are legally
responsible for the protection OF
those people "most desperately al
fected by slump"

Lack of Markers Brings Destruction
Of New Brunswick Vegetable Crops

st. John, N. B. (ILNS).-While
people are forced to pay highly ex-
orbitant prices in the stores and
scarcities are claimed, farmers are
plowing up their vegetables be-
cause of lack of markets. The Sun
bury County Cooperative, compos-
ed of 70 farmers, has announced it
is unable to market about 10000
basket of tomatoes and the cucum-
Der yield, and that only a small
percentage of the cabbages are be-
ing sold. The cooperative can sup
ply 1000 dozen of cucumbers every
day, but can't sell more than fifth
of that. The wholesalers refuse to
handle the vegetables at any price.
Not IN many years have the vege-
table crops been so heavy. There
have also been big yields of grains,
berries, apples, plums, etc. But the
wholesalers have turned thumbs
down on buying more than about
one-fifth of the field and orchard
crops offered.
Present indications are that at
least so percent of the vegetable
crop of 1913 will be plowed under.
In some instances, the percentage
will be more, even up to rs and 80
percent of the total. The growers,
including the cooperative units,
have been trying desperately to sell
the vegetables but the wholesalers
and also the Gamers manifest little
or no interest. There is great op-
portunity for consumer groups to
buy in big lots at low prices, but
the consumers have not been or
ganized.
At some locations the vegetable
yields have been the heaviest in 80
years. Although millions of people
in Europe, Asia, Africa are hungry,
no effort is made to assemble some
of the crops for overseas.

Lake Seamen Join
AFL- Seafarers

Montreal QLNS).-The Canad-
ian Lake Seamen's Union has

the same time Pat Harrison, found
er of the Canadian union, retired
from the organization. He formed
it more than year ago, when ne
broke with the Canadian Seamen's
Union, charging it was Communist
dominated.
Sullivan's union obtained con
tracts with several Great Lakes
shipping companies which refused
to treat with the CSU and the lat
ter opposed CLSU activities bitter
ly, contending that the CSU was
the recognized bargaining agent OF
lake seamen.
Announcement of the CLSU-SlU
merger came from the office OF
Frank Hall, vice president of the
Brotherhood of Railway and Steam
ship Clerks. 1t said he brought the
parties together; that before nego-
tiations started the CLSU agreed
to the STU condition that Sullivan
be retired from the scene"
The merger means that the
CLSU loses its identity and now
becomes a part of the SIU's Canad-
ian district. The STU embraces
deep-sea as well as Great Lakes
operations.
The announcement said that the
contracting parties viewed the
merger "as complete answer to
the difficulties Of the strike situa-
tion on the Lakes" since the mem
bers Of the CLSU as result Of
the merger, "now are represented
by a strong international American

Farm Labor Union
Battles Import OF
Unneeded Mexicans

Washington (LPA) - A hard
fought battle is going on behind
the scenes in Washington to pre-
vent the wholesale use of Mexican
farm labor as a mobile striking
force to halt any moves to unionize
agricultural workers in the factory
farms of California.
Last week, an AFL delegation
went to Director Robert Goodwin
of the Bureau of Employment Sec
urity, and Certifications Officer
Willard Kelly of the immigration
& Naturalization Service. They re-
peated the protests that had orig
mated in California when the Natl
Farm Union-AFL revealed that
5000 Mexican workers had been
certified as needed in the Fresno
County area. The union claims that
there is plenty of local labor avail
able if prevailing wages are paid,
and says the way the 5000 workers
would be used violates information
al agreements with Mexico.
Goodwin first said that his office
had not yet approved the state
certification that the 5000 workers
were needed. Confronted with evid-
ence that it was already okayed by
his agency and before the immigra-
tion officers, he backtracked.
He told LPA that he had been
in error, that the 5000 figure was
correct, but that that's not import
ant, because certifcation can be
changed at any time up until actual
recruitment starts" He said that
an official Of his agency is now in
California, and on the basis of
telephoned information the 5000
figure will be cut "to fraction"
Pressed over reports from the
Mexican border that recruitment
of the workers has already started,
Goodwin said "even after they get
into this country, if we find domes-
tic labor is available they will be
sent back" NFLU officials say that
it's common knowledge that many
Mexican contract laborers Jump"
their contracts and remain in the
US illegally.
Said NFLU President II. l..
after the interviews with
the federal officials: Neither the
finance farmers nor the government
agencies concerned in this matter
have seen fit to recognize the vital
of the NFLU in the inter
national migration of farm work
ars in the western hemisphere. The
A Associated Farmers are taking
overlook, stock and barrel-the
Iabor recruiting machinery of the
state of California. They enjoy
special privileges Of information
and representation in Washington.
"The NFLU has repeatedly voic-
ed its concern over the Mexican
workers themselves. We recognize
that when they are brought here
neither the United States nor the
Mexican government gives them
adequate protection in their con-
.ract rights. Experience has shown
hat they are exploited in various
ways; that they are subject to the
yhims of the corporation farmers;
hat no provision is made for the
of legitimate griev-
Inces; that thousands of them 90
'ack home penniless, disillusioned
nd prejudiced against our country.

The Nome nugget., 1948-04-21

WASHINGTON,-(P)-John L. Lewis escaped a jail sentence to- day but was fined S2O,O00 per sonally and his United Mine Workers $1,4O0,OOO for contempt of court.
 Judge T. Alan Goldsborough accepted government recom- mendation for those fines, but said it had been his own inclin- ation to send Lewis to jail.
 The fines are just double what the bushy-browed UNIV chief and his miners had to pay after they similarly were found guilty in 1946 of contempt for ignoring a courts stop-strike order.
 Then Goldsborough fined Lewis $10,0O0 and the union S3,500,000, but the Supreme Court cut the unions fine to S700,000.
 The fines .Goldsborough impos- ed yesterday were only for crim- inal contempt. The judge granted a motion to consider a penalty for civil contempt against Lewis and the union on Friday.
 Lewis and the union each were held guilty by the judge on Mon day of both civil and criminal contempt.
 In civil contempt, penalties are usually based on damages done. So penalties are often fixed to increase if damages continue.
 This might result in Goldsbou- ough's imposing a daily penalty in event the miners do not work in protest against the criminal contempt fines.
 Many were out of the mines to- day, following the outcome of the
