Congressmen Oppose 'Camp'
Senator Joseph Guffey and Congressman James A.
Wright informed city officials today they were
combatting the establishment of a "labor camp" in
or near Duquesne.
Only note of doubt was given by Wright. The
Congressman stated that W. P. Seaver, assistant
commissioner for development of the Federal Housing
Authority, had received his protest personally, and
that he was contacting the regional office of the
authority.
"He has advised them (FHA) to contact you in order
to pick a site satisfactory to the City of
Duquesne," Wright said. "However, if no other site
is available, he states that nothing can interfere
with the war effort."
Wright assured the city he would do all he could to
prevent "assignment" of a housing project of this
type to the city.
Senator Guffey, in a telegram to the Mayor and
Council, stated, "I doubt very much if the trailer
camp will be established. The matter is having my
attention."
Officials last week fought what they claimed was a
plan to set up a trailer camp or housing project
for transient mill workers at the city line in west
Mifflin Borough. It was to house a number of men
who were to be recruited from various areas for
work in district war industries.
