Heroic, though often misguided, a.

the labor unions for better wages and
living conditions. they are beginning
to be less successful with the methods
Of the strike than In former years.
Last year the unions met with un.
usual defeat in the case OF many of
their larger strikes. This is due to
three causes-growins organization of
the employers in opposition to the
unions, the use OF the injunction and
union liability rulings by the courts.
and the disapproval of open violence
and industrial disorder by the public.

USE OF BUILDING TILE.
The Method Of constructing Fireproes
Buildings.

The elimination of the fire hazard
in modern buildings is based upon tAs
principle that all supporting iron OF
steel Orders, columns. and beams
must be protected from fire by some
material which is poor conductor oe
heat and not easily disintegrated or In
jured by high temperatures. Burned
clay materials. such as fiat. hollow,
porous. and semi-porous terra Gotta
blocks, and certain grades OF burned
bricks, are commonly employed for
this purpose. Owing to the relative
lightness OF these materials and their
high fire-resisting qualities. most steel
frameworks of large buildings are In
cased in hollow or fiat terra Gotta
tiles laid in cement mortar. Many q
these clay tiles and blocks are burned
in the making to 2.O00-2,5O0 degrees.
