Urges Minority Housing

New. York OPA)-Private en-
terprise has failed in the "tremen-
dous relatively untouched market
for minority group housing"
Franklin d. Richards, Commiss-
ioner of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration, told members of the
New York Savings Bank Assn. If
private enterprise doesn't do the
job, the government will start
direct mortgage lending without
using the banks, he added.

work.
1t will only be when orders are
sufficient that all brothers ano
sisters who have been layed off car
be brought back to their jobs. Ou1
sincere hope is that orders for oul
product will begin rolling in and all
can be returned to their jobs. Mr.
McNicol assured the committee
that when these members could be
brought back to work he would
personally see that they got their
.~just dues.
President Fazio and the shop
committee are doing a creditable
job in handling the disputes that
come before them. However, all
members are urged to try and
settle their troubles with the fore
man before taking their grievance
to the committee which is the pro-
per procedure to eliminate unnec-
essary friction.
Bros. Ralph Singleton an d
Lewis Singleton, both casters,
were granted transfers to Local
Union "a at Wellsville, Ohio. We
wish both brothers the best of luck
at the Sterling China Co.
AS each day passes the members
of the N. B. of o. p. and the
U.S.P.A. are finding ourselves suf-
fering more because of the Porto
Rican situation. This is competi-
tion of the most unfair type and
Local SO will support one hundred
percent any plan or idea that will
ease the situation. This is a matter
calling for a united front by all
parties concerned and although our
national officers are doing every
thing possible to meet the situa-
tion, we hope all members give
them the support they need to
carry on this fight.
President Fazio had a very un-
pleasant duty to perform at our
Mast meeting in suspending broth
sers Kenneth Longinette, w. E.
Lemasters, Cecil Martin, Melvin
Feathers, Lonnie CASTOR, Dewain
Webb, Frank Tangari, Fred Will
Jams, John Richison and General
Posey. 1t is regrettable that some
members always want to take ad-
vantage of bit of decent leniency
extended by a financial secretary
or shop collector. From now on
this type of favor will be discon-
tinued.
There are some members on the
verge of suspension in dues, fines
and percentage and unless they
straighten up their affairs by our
next meeting, the axe will fall.
This is unnecessary expense and
constitutes a loss in insurance
benefits for which members of their
families may have to suffer.

Million Added To Purchasing Power
By 75-Cent Wage, New AFL Contracts
Postal Employees,
Other Government
Workers Get Raise

Washington. - Additional pur-
chasing power for millions Of AFL
members and other workers total
ing more than one-half billion dol
lars annually are provided by:
~ Signing of a new minimum
wage law.
(2) Pay raises for 10000 gov
ernment employees.
81 Thousands Of new contract
increases recently negotiated by
AFL unions.
This "shot in the arm" for the
nations economy means more jobs,
better living, higher production
and consumption spread through
out the country.
1t resulted largely from the eff
forts Of the AFL to raise the legal
minimum wage from 40 to Is
cents by congressional action; to
amend government wage laws to
raise salaries, and to win pay in
creases and other benefits in con-
tract negotiations with private
employers.
The AFL will continue its drive
for broader coverage Of the mini
mum wage law. AFL unions will
insist on more money and other
benefits in contract negotiations
the remainder Of this year and in
1850.
President Signs Wage Law
AFL President William Green
headed a group Of AFL officials
who witnessed President Truman's
formal signing of the amendments
to the Fair Labor Standards Act
raising the legal minimum wage
from 40 to Is cents an hour. The
new minimum goes into effect
January 25.
With Mr.. Green were Richard j.
Gray, president of the AFL Build
ing Trades Department; James A.
Brownlow, secretary treasurer of
the AFL Metal Trades Department,
and Harry O'Reilley, AFL director
of organization.
Mr.. Truman said that the law "is
a major victory in our fight to pro-
mote the general welfare Of the
people of the United States" He
said he regretted that its coverage
had been limited by restrictive pro-
visions.
The AFL's 68th convention in st.
Paul voted to fight in the next
year to expand the coverage of this
law instead of beginning an i'm
mediate compaign for the 81 hour
ly minimum favored by previous
conventions.
Mr.. Truman said the new law
will almost eliminate child labor,
help employees to recover unpaid
back wages, encourage annual
plans of employment, and streng-
then restrictions on industrial
homework.
Also on Mr.. Truman's desk for
signing before November l were
bills to increase the annual salaries
of postal employees an average $225
a year and classified civilian work

Glamora, the goddess OF the
sun. was the most beautiful OF
all the goddesses. She loved 10
sketch the wonderful sights OF
her home town on canvas. In
the springtime. she could draw
the fields as they were being sown,
In the summer. the fruit trees
began to blossom. giving her the
chance TO use many colors in
her pictures. The autumn brought
harvest time and quiet, peaceful
scene for her art work.
In addition to her artistic abil-
ity, Glamora was an enchantresS.
She loved her country so much
that whenever an enemy came
near. Glamora would change the
person into an animal These
animals were fat. but they were
very light. They fioated into space
and were never seen again.
The god, Pluto. wanted to marry
Glamora for her secrets OF en-
chantment. He said. For your
wedding gift I will give you al
the art supplies you want" One
day Pluto decided he would
visit Glamora and ask her father
Jupiter. for Glamora's hand in
marriage. Glamora was in love
with Apollo. who had shared all
their happy moments together. As
Glamora sketched each day, Apol-
10 would sing OF love and far-away
places that he had visited.
When Glamora heard OF Pluto's
plans to see her. she decided TO
run away from her family and
friends. In her rush to get away
she carelessly packed her belong
ings and all her treasured art
supplies. but failed TO securely
close the lid Of her suitcase. She
had Just finished packing when
she heard hoofbeats. Looking out
of the window. she saw Pluto
riding on his black horse. coming
nearer and nearer. Glamora ran
out OF the castle and got on her
enchanted horse. She swiftly few
away. She rose so quickly in the
air that her suitcase opened and
out fell all the paints. They fell
all over the sky and around the
sun Just as 1t was setting. That
is why today We can enjoy the
wonderful beauty OF the sunset
