The USHC was a federal agency that existed during World War I. It was part of the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Industrial Housing and Transportation. Its purpose was to provide housing for wartime production workers near arsenals and shipyards. This is the only insignia that I have ever seen from this Government Agency.

ATTACHMENT: Single screw post with disc backing and one stabilization post.
