Show THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2i( ,M OREM-GENEVA TIMES OHE to Investigate Vererans Housing: Complaints Builders and veterans were reminded today that Veterans of World War II or their families famil-ies must still be given first chance to rent or buy new housing hous-ing construction for rental or sale. Disclosing that a new group of field agents.were on the job to check violations of this law, Fred E. Ray, Area Rent Director, Direct-or, Provo Defense Rent Area, said that the veterans' preference prefer-ence provisions apply to all houses and apartments completed complet-ed after June 30, 1947 and prior to April 1, 199,, other than those buili for owner occupancy. Mr. Ray explained that besides requiring that veterans must be given exclusive rights of pur chase or rent during the period of construction and for at least 30 days thereafter, the law sets forth certain affirmative steps which builders must take. -, Signs lo be posted A builder must: 1. Post a sign or placard in front of each housing structure or on the con struction site, during construction construct-ion and during the period of offering of-fering to veterans. Such placard or sign must contain, legibly, the rent or sale price of the unit un-it or dwelling; the fact that the accomodations are offered for rent or sale exclusively to veterans vet-erans or their families for the prescribed period; and the name and address of the person authorized auth-orized to sell or rent the hous ing accomodations. If the rent or sale price is reduced after the placard or sign is posted, the price on the placard must be changed accordingly. Newspaper Advertising Required 2- Publicly advertise all such housing accomodations by newspaper news-paper exclusively to veterans or their families on at least three (3) days during the first 20 days of the 30-day preference period. The advertisement must be carried car-ried in a newspaper of general circulation in the community. It must contain the same information inform-ation as is required for the placard pla-card or sign. (This appiles unless un-less the units are already sold or rented to veterans or their families). 3. Take any other steps which are customary In the community commun-ity for making a public offer- ing of housing accomodations. 4. If the dwelling remains unsold un-sold and the seller lowers the original offering price, he must reoffer the dwelling to veterans for an additional seven (7) days period before it can be offered to the public. This applies also to subsequent resale of suchJ houses at any price. Penalties Violations of this law, Mr. Ray pointed out, is a federal of fense and a convicted violator is subject to fine and imprisonment. imprison-ment. Complaints of veterans may be filed at the Provo Area Rent office, 48 North University, Univer-sity, Provo, Utah. New Agents on Job Mr. Rjy also said that the recruitment re-cruitment and training of seventy-five field agents of the office off-ice of the Housing Expeditor assigned as-signed to the West was now nearly complete and that investigation invest-igation into violations of veterans veter-ans emergency housing program regulations as well as violators of the veterans preference reg ulations were being launched GENEVA WARD Beth Moon 0581-R1 The Primary children will be entertained at a Hallowe'en dancing party on Monday afternoon after-noon at 3 p.m. LeRoy Whitehead, author of The House of Israel gave an in-; parts of Utah and Calif irnia troduction to the book at the I eryone is invited. cession and games, fortunes caps and food will be for sale-Proceeds sale-Proceeds of the Carnival will be used to carry in the MIA actv-ties actv-ties and to send Christmas gifts to the missionaries.

Although they know this, leaders of 16 railroad rail-road unions are demanding a five-day, Mon-lay Mon-lay through Friday, week for one million railroad employes. They want 48 hours pay for 40 hours work in itself a 20 wage increase. . They also demand a minimum of 12 hours pay for any work performed on Saturdays, and 16 hours pay for any work performed on Sundays and holidays. On top of all this they want an additional ' increase of 25c an hour for every employe! You'd Pay the Bill! Summing up these demands, they mean that these union leaders seek to force the railroads to give one million employes an annual raise which would average $1500 per employe! The.total cost of this would be no less than 1H billion dollars per year, which is more than twice the expected net income of the railroads thi.s year. . You'd pay the bill, because if these in-' in-' creased costs are forced on iiw raiiroad. they must have still further rate and fare increases. Demands Unreasonable These employes have had substantial raises during and since the war. Their average weekly week-ly earnings are higher than the average weekly earnings of workers in manufacturing industries. indus-tries. They have more job security than the average worker in American industry. They also enjoy paid vacations, a retirement system sys-tem and other advantages more generous tur the average worker receives. In coiUrast with the demands of these 16 unions, which add up to the equivalent of 48c an hour, the Conductors and Trainmen recently settled their wage request for an Increase of 10c an hour. Railroads Run for Everybody Not Employes Alone The railroad industry must serve not one but many groups producers, businessmen, shippers, ship-pers, passengers and the general public-night public-night and day, every day of the year. These unions are proceeding in utter disregard of this important difference between railroads and other industries. Industrial plants can be shut down over weekends and holidays, but freight, mail, express and passengers must continue to move. Everybody who enters railroad rail-road employment knows this. Strike Threat On September 18, 1948, the leaders of these 16 unions began taking a strike vote. But the threat of a strike will not alter the opposition of the railroads to such unreasonable demands! 103 VKST We are at fi ADAMS STREET CHICAGO S, ILLINOIS are publishing this and other advertisements to talk with you irpt Vrd r.bout matters which btp irnpnrrcnt to eve. b dy.
