How A Committee Helped

Latest unemployment figures from government agencies
show improvement with 100000 persons going OF the
unemployment rolls in March The outlook, however while
somewhat brighter does not do with the need Tor or
ganzaon of local full employment committees, as urged by
the American Federation of Labor That such committees
get results shown by the federation in its Labors
Monthly Survey which cited stories from the experiences
of committees already at work. Here is example:
In eastern town, member of the local Carpenter
Union is leader the full employment committee Inc
town needed housing for low income familes many local
workers needed Jobs. The AF member got IN
formation about applying for loans under the Housing Act
of 1949 then with his fellow committee members went IN

other committee members expedtng other projects TO

to nearby pulp mill, enabling it to take several hundred

Other committees the AF says, have been successful
getting state and local projects underway for highway
construction extension of SYSTEM building of schools

improving post offices and other public services by adding

an enclosed front porch window.
A neighbor heard the crash of
