REGINA (CP)-The Trades and Labor Congress of Canada Friday urged the federal government to make available low-rent and low- cost homes to families in medium and low-income brackets.

A resolution adopted at the 'i'LC's annual convention said lack of housing in some areas is "criti- cal" and that the existence of slums endangers health.

The congress proposed:

Maximum down- payment of 10 per cent on homes built under the National Housing Act; maximum interest rats of three per cent on Ni-IA loans; a 30-year period for paying off mortgages; encourage- ment of municipalities to enter into construction of low-rental homes. subsidized by the federal govommsnt where necessary.

Jack Bruce of Toronto, Cana- dian head of the plumbers' union, said the housing situation is a nat- ural calamity.

(C?) -Mayor Ralph Eagan of Militown. clinging doggedly to hope that the dying textile mill here can be saved, ap- pealed to the plant's union employ- ees Friday nlght to volunteer a wage reduction program "of some magnitude. disregarding any di- rections from their parent organ- izaiinn.

Fighting grimly to ward off the economic catastrophe menacing the border community, Mr. Eagan said it was ha duty as mayor to tell the union workers the amouni of the pay out should be their sole responsibility.

The mayor, who once worked in the mill. said he has called a mass meeting of citizens for 11 a. m. today, on the high school grounds, to remind them of their obliga- tions to themselves and the com- munity as a whole.

HAD PRIVATE TALK

Mr. Eagan disclosed that he had had a long private conversation with the president of Textile Sales Ltd., Alan C. Salter of Montreal and said he felt the company would "seriously consider" a pay slash offer that could be regarded as "encouraging."

"Regardless of what may be a precedent in the labor movement, it is essential that the union here come up with something that will be encouraging to the company. in the way of reducing production costs," Mr. Egan said. "The work-

ers must act on their own. They

OTTAWA (CP) -The govern- ment's budgetary surplus was trimmed in July to s28.7l2,000 from 345,370,000 a year ago as both tax revenues and expenditures con- tinued to decline.

The small monthly balance brought the surplus for the first four months of the 1954-55 fiscal year to 31.17.756.000, some 390,000.- O00 less than the 3230,407,000 in the same period last year, the fin- ance department's treasury state- ment showed Friday.

The big hole on the collections side was in corporation income tax, which in July declined by some 523,000,000 from last year's figure. On the spending side, the drop was concentrated in defence where expenditures decreased in the month by 354,000,000 ' The government last year spent about 3200,000,000 less than the S2,- 000.000,000 estimated for the year and it may be heading for an-
