whereby money on deposit - in the

lo niunieipalilies for the purpose of
building model homes for ils citizens,
in accordance with a resolution
adopted by the American Federation
of Labor convent ion today. An alter
native suggestion, contained ill the
resolution, is that the government
shall establish such a system of
credits that the people may borvow
money for a lone; term of years at a
low rate of interest to build their

"We believe if is an easv nuttier
for the government to take such I
steps to relieve the working people in
the industrial centers of the unsani
tary homes that are now unfit for
hnhiljithui,'' the resolution snys.
All state federations of labor and
organized labor everywhere were
urged in an adoplcd resolution to
make the injunction question the
pjirnmounl issue in all of their future
political activities. Such Activities
should be continued, the resolution
says, until n law is operative in ev
