OLD FIRE ALARM
RULES MODIFIED
Tenants and Owners May
Now Install Less EXpen-
sive Signal Systems.

Revised rules, modifying the existing
requirements for interior fire alarm
signal systems, have been adopted by
the State Industrial Commission. This
is another victory won by the Real Es-
tate Board in its battle to lessen some
troubles that beset landlords and ten
ants.
Il was a year ago last summer that
the Real Estate Board called the atten-
ton of the Labor Department and the
Fire Commissioner to the fact that the
existing requirements for factory build
ings, as defined by the labor law, made
necessary signal systems that were more
complicated and expensive than condi-
tions warranted. The Fire Commission
or thought so, too. He had, however,
no power 10 modify the ruling. More
over. the Labor Department also agreed
that the requirements were too rlgid
and further stated that the necessity Tor
revision was being considered. Later,
hearings were given at which the Real
Estate Board was represented.
The new rules say that systems shall
be approved as follows: Class A, for
installation in buildings not exceeding
four stories in height, occupied by not
more than one factory tenant, with not
more than 100 persons employed above
the ground floor; Class b, for lnstalla-
ton in buildings not exceeding SIX
stories in height, occupied by not more
than one factory tenant, IN when not
more than $50 persons are employed
above the ground floor, and Class G.,
for installation in all buildings not
specified in classes A and b. GLASS =

poses Of these requirements.
The various systems shall comprise

in number and size to be clearly audible

which prevail when the factory is in

ated the systems must conform TO the

SAY STRIKE IS UNJUST
Contractors Urge Boss Painters to
Join Association.

The United Painters and General
Contractors' Association has sent let
ter to real estate owners, managers OF
property, operators, brokers and build
ers, urging them to ask the boss paint
ers who do their work to Join the as
ISOLATION and TO fight "our and your
battle together"
The United Painters and General
Contrnctors' Association says: "A
strike has been declared by the
Brotherhood of Painters and Paper
hangers Union, without just cause or
grievance, for tho purpose Of imposing
unjust hardship upon the boss painters
and the trade in general. These con-
ditions, which we believe are unjust,
include an increase In wages from %
to 30 per cent and additional nom
working, pay-drawing representatives,
such as shop stewards, job stewards,
etc.
"The inclosed agreement which the
Brotherhood Of Painters Union want
to enforce on the master painters is OF
great interest 10 you, as III VIII Serl-
ously affect the income of your prop
erty. You, as a real estate owner, man
ager or operator, know that eventually
these increased burdens must be borne
by you. :,
GAS real estate is at present much
overtaxed and overburdened with ex-
pense. so that il has no attraction for
investors, any increased, unjust burden
forced on boss painters would only ag-
gravate the present depressed condi-
ton of the real estate owner, manager
or operator, and would drive capital TO
other channels for investment. We,
therefore, urge your cooperation with
the boss painters; we ask you not TO
press the boss painter TO complete
work which can be held in allegiance
until the union leaders have been
brought to such terms as are reason
able and fair, not only to us, but 10
you, who in the end must foot the bill.
ave call your attention to the fact
that such boss painters who have al
ready signed the agreement with the
union have done so in the belief that
property owners can afford and will
pay the increased cost and charges
necessitated by the union demands. In
fact, this has been the union argument.
Do you believe this argument Ia fair to
you"

Model Broadway Quarters
for Globe Wernicke Co.,
Near Canal Street.

Starrett e. Van Week, the architects,
have completed plans for the recon
struction and remodelling of the build
ing at 451 and 453 Broadway, which has
been purchased by the Globe-Wernicke
Company. The alterations are most
elaborate and il is said will represent
an expenditure Of 100000.
The improvements are to be made TO
meet the ideas of Lester S. Woodward,
the New York manager Of the COM
pany. who is firm believer that this
section of Broadway, near Canal Street,
will again become the important busl-
ness centre II was some years ago. 1t
was after some careful study in this
respect that Mr.. Woodward decided TO
purchase the premises for his company,
which, with the cost of the changes, to-
gether with the value of the property,
will represent an investment of APP
proMmatelv 100000. The Broadway
subway, now being built, will nave d
station at Canal Street.
The front of the building will be OF
Colonial design, set IN specially de-
