By FRED W. PERKINS Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—Symp-| _ toms of new efforts to soften the

Justice Department's. campaign against building-industry conspiraeies that involve labor unions as well as employers appeared today following Robert H. Jackson’s accession to the Attorney Generalship. ‘ Congressmen closely allied with

the American Federation of Labor, |

liam Green, A. PF. of L. president, who recently disagreed with Attorney General Murphy on whether the Anti-Trust Laws apply to labor unions, called on President Roosevelt,”but the latter said this subject had not been brought up.

erals would bring no let-up. Mr. Jackson, as Solicitor General, was in close touch with the widespread operations under assistant Attorney General Thurman W. Arnold, and is sald to be determined on carrying the job to completion. The campaign has been one of the most popular law-enforcement efforts of the Roosevelt Administration, according to expressions reaching the Justice Department, It-is important also as evidence of the New Deal's determination to root out illegal practices in laborias well as management. | The principal menace facing the inquiry is the matter of money. The Budget Bureau, with the President’s approval, cut|the anti-trust enforcement fund from last year’s $1,300,000 to $1,200,000. The anti-trust division has said it needs $2,000,000 to expand its campaign in the year beginning July 1.

The question is still before the House Appropriations Committee. i

Fines Aid Costs

The committee has been told that anti-trust expenditures should not be looked at| from “the budget-bal-ancing viewpoint, because fines collected in the “first six months of this fiscal year from anti-trust convictions totaled twice the appropriation for the entire year. And potential fines are even greater. | Pittsburgh | is the prize example so far in results of this character. But general figures of the U. S. Housing Authority show gradually falling costs/ on the unit dwelling basis. A similar trend is reported showing up in statistics of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.
