A.F. of L. Head endorses Wagner Housing Bill. Washington, D.C., April 14. President William Green of the A.F. of L. discusses various phases of the Wagner $1,040,000,000 Housing Bill with Senator Robert F. Wagner (left) author of the bill, and Senator David [...] Walsh, Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Education and Labor. Green appeared before the Committee today to give his endorsement of the bill.
