HOW LABOR DISPUTES HALT
| WORK ON HOUSING PROJECT
Chicago, Dec. 7 (ANP)—Addi
tional information regarding al
leged labor abuses in the building
industry, as result of which con
struction has been retarded on
the Ida B. Wells low rent South
side housing project, was report
edly placed in the hands of L’o
F. Tierney, special assistant to
I the U. S. Attorney General, this
I week.
Tierney and his associates have
| been investigating the building
' industry in Chicago for mop than
a month, the local quiz following
the recent Federal investigation
in Washington, during which
testimony was given by Gen. Rob'
' ert E. Wood, chairman of Sears
Roebuck and Co.
Declaring that not raw?' than
20 per cent of Chicago’s 80,000
building construction employes
were at work, the head of a well'
known building firm (-aid on
Tuesday that the unnecessary
working regulations and restric
tions have brought the situation
to the point where contractors
are afraid to 'begin work on
houses for fearing of losing
money.
He also said that demands of
the Chicago Building Trades
Council—compos; d of 27 unions
—have caused the local building
in lustry to come to a virtual
standstill. As an example of a
•‘petty dispute” holding up a con
struction, he pointed to the con
troversy which delayed building
for two months last Summer of
the $7,000,000 Ida B. Wells Fed
eral housing project for Negroes
on the Southside.

He said when the contractors—
Thcmpson-Starrett Company—at
tempt, d to use a truck concrete
mixer to transport concrete from
a central plant to each bu lding
on the job, the Hod Carriers’
Union and the International
Union of Operating Engineers
r fused to work, claiming that an
in 'ividual mixer should be main
tained at each building.
After conferences with Mayor
Kelly and a F'ederal conciliator,
the unions finally agreed to al
low tfye company to use the truck
mixer, provided it did not use
city streets or go off project
property. The builder explained:
“This mpant that the Thompson
Starret firm had to build a con
crete mixing plant on the pro
ject and keep the truck there.
Furthermore, it had to pay a
hoisting engin^sr $15 a day for
pulling a lever, something a la
borer could have done at mach
lower pay.”

BIRTH OF A SONG
From ASCAP Files
By Joseph R. Fliesler and Paul Carruth
BOB MILLER was born in rural Memphis, Tenn., in the
heart of the hill billy country. .It was not until he was
ten that his talent for music was discovered.
Orphaned at an early age, he ran away at thirteen, large
for his years, made his way as a piano player, did odd^obs—
and went back to Memphis.

Relatives and friends furnished help for him to finish his
education at the Southern Conservatory of Music in Memphis,
and later at the Chicago Conservatory of Music.
