Another decision was required on the
local housing problem. The recent loca
tion of the Fletcher Army hospital and
the war industries in our vicinity has
created a housing shortage wldch has
resulted, not in building additional
houses, but in questionable business
practices. Some have exploited the
shortage into inflationary real estate
values on proierties which have paid
for themselves several times and re
quires much lalior and expense to
modernize.
A projierty remains empty, »wlth
heM -from tenants, as scrfifvtty operates
in a manner which forces citizens tn
purchase in a competitive market
where prices are arrived at because of
the shortage and rent soars each time
a house changes tenants.
The Central Labor Union delegates
were instructed to start action by con
tacting the pro|ier authorities ami ask
that sufficient government apartments
be built to accommodate the personnel
of Hie hospital ami the homeless citi

At No. 5 Plant
A very interesting discussion on sili

discussion at the last regular meet

Dall China Company, here in East
Liverpool, has taken definite steps to
wards aiding their employees. It was
also brought out that the Harker Pot
tery has taken an interest in helping
the silicosis victims to obtain treat
ments.
The workmen play a part In this. It
is their dut.#to lie clean around their
own benches, keep their clothing ami
work aprons reasonably cl-un by
changing at least once a week. By so
doing it will tie aiding the firm in its
application for a machine to adminis
ter the treatments. The company can
not tie exjiected to do its part in this
if the workmen fail in theirs.
President Frank Dales laid much
emphasis on the vital work of the

is plenty of work for the committee
