I LABOR DEPARTMENT IS APPREHENSIVE OVER LABOR LAW PROVISIONS H-T» ’ - . - - York, Pa.—John VV. Gibson, As idant Secretary of Labor, said that the Labor Department was “apprehensive” over the Taft H art ley Labor Act. He declared there wag “a very real danger” that the law con tained “elements which might be the forerunner of dire conse quences.” It was the Labor Department’s first official statement on the new law since its enactment on June 23, althought Secretary Lewis B. Scbwellenbach spoke out against many of its provisions when they vcre still pending in Congress. Mr. Gibson’s speech was for the summer industrial conference of the United Wallpaper Company. He had been invited to give an analysis of the new law, but he bad told the sponsors of the con ference beforehand that he would not attempt this. And tonight he raid: ' The fact is, no comprehensive analysis exists, and the host of embryo analysis which have come from parties at interest are in dined to leave one in a state of bewilderment. i can ten you, however, that ';ve in the Department of Labor, like many employers ami leaders ot the American labor movement, ^ie apprehensive over some of the tesults which may come out of Its administration. • Most of the law will be admin istered by the National Labor Re lations Board. The Labor De partment has only two or three duties under the act. dr. Gibson’s objections appeared to be on the ground that the law put* the Government further into Irbcr-management relationships. RI AL WAGES LAGGING DESPITE PAY RAISES Washington, D. Ci-^Eamings of factory workers hit a new high in June of $48.91 a week, but in tei ms of “real wages” the work ers are worse off than a year ago and in much poorer position than nring the war, Department of Labor reports showed. During^ the past 12 months, weekly earnings in manufactur ing rose by less than 13 per cent, while the official living cost in dex shot up 18 per cent. The gap is even greater com: ' pared to the peak wartime year , of 1944. Weekly earnings then aveiaged $46.08 a week. “Take- j home” pay now is only about 61 pci cent higher than the 1944 av- j eiage, while living costs are 25 per cent greater. Thus, in terms of buying pow-j r, the earnings of factory work eis are 19 per cent below war time levels. Furthermore._the June “take. home” wage of industrial workers will buy only as much as $30 did back in 1939, the Department , said. FHA MORTGAGE ACTIVITY , NOW AT RECORD VOLUME Washington, D. C.—The Fed eral Housing Administration in the first half of 1947 received a record volume of applications for mortgage insurance, with all dwelling units involved totaling about 276,000, Commissioner Ray mond M. Foley announced. Approximately 200,000 new units were covered by the total, Mr. Foley said, with more than a third in multiple family rental housing projects. There were 1, 671 rental housing project appli cations, comprising 66,702 units. In addition to applications on mortgages covering new con struction, FHA received applica tions involving approximately 76-, 000 units in existing one to four family dwellings. U. 8. FARM LABOR HOUSING AVAILABLE TO FARM CO-OPS . Washington, D. C.—A bill per mitting non-profit farm associa tions to buy housing facilities of the farm labor supply program was signed by President Truman.

There are 52 permanent and 70 temporary housing camps with ac commodations for 69,000 people.
