remedy will remove SCOT and tar from
the heating hurfaces, smoke pipes and
chimneys.
Here's how you do it:
Get the fire into good condition, SO
that the fuel bed is bright or mean
descent, and on the hottest part of
the fire spread several handfuls OF
salt; then close the door and open the
drafts. Common salt, either of the
table variety or fine grain rock salt.

has been found effective.

ing plant Immediately will become
filed with dense white fumes, which
will penetrate to every part of the
furnace, smoke flues and chimney and
in less than an hour the effects of the
salt will disappear. Then brighten up
the fire again and repeat the operation
two or more times until all heating
surfaces have been entirely cleaned.
Later, one application of the salt
treatment once or twice a week will
keep the heating surfaces in clean
and efficient condition. The chemical
action will not attack iron or be in
any way detrimental to the heating

Labor leaders of Richmond were
pleased to learn today through the
division of public works and construc-
ton development, recently organized
In the Department of Labor, that a
spirit of cooperation is manifested all
over the country in solving the after
the-war problems.
'Labor's attitude" says the COM
munication, "is thoroughly concilatory,
according to all advices that have
reached the Department of Labor. An
instance has just come to light at At
lantic City where a 100000 hotel is
under construction.
electrical workers employed else
where in Atlantic City were receiving
STU cents an hour, but the rate Of pay
on the hotel was only IS cents. The
men felt that they should receive the
prevailing wage and informed the COM
pany to that effect.
For time the controversy threat
ened to halt work, but when the men
understood that the company had TAX
en- the contract based on less than 70
cents an hour for electrical workers,
and would lose heavily if they insist
ed on the S71a cent rate, the men will
ingly returned to their jobs and agreed
to stick to the rs cent an hour basis
so long as they were needed.
Assistant Secretary of Labor Louis
F. Post, in an address before a recon
struction conference in Washington
recently, declared that labor is taking
a most reasonable attitude in prac-
tically all the cases brought to the no
tice of the department.
Estimates by trade publications in
the building field indicate that there is
a shortage of approximately seven
hundred thousand houses in AM
erica at the present time. These
figures will be checked up through the
researches of the division of public
works; but they correspondent fairly
we'll with futures given recently at the
conference in Boston, where
it was said that the normal home
building of the nation is approximate
ly 100000 houses each year-assum-

given out to the public will tell some
thing of the extent to which these con.
ditions represent the practice in our
industries. 1t is known however that
many employers have adopted of their
own accord such working conditions
and have found that it is good bust
ness to do SO.
The secretary of the Richmond Cen
trail Labor Council received the fol-
lowing letter from Adolph J. Fritz,
secretary-treasurer of the Indiana
State Federation OF Labor, urging a
large attendance at the meeting to-
night:
THE Federation of Women's Clubs
is again taking an active part In the
legislature pertaining to women work
ing in the different industries, and We
urge that the iaboring people Of your
locality get in touch with the commit
tee representing the Federation of
Women's Clubs in your city for the
purpose Of taking an active part in the
coming mass meeting to be held in
your city on Jan II, and we further
urge your Central Body to do every
thing in pour power to make this meet
ing a grand success.
These meetings are being called in
different localities for the purpose of
discussing the various matters that
will come up before the present legis-
lature for legislation pertaining to the
welfare of women working in the diff
ferent factories.
1--WE also wish to call your attention
to the fact that the State Federation
of Labor stands squarely behind the
Womans S-hour bill, and not 8 or
10-hour bill.
1--WE also stand behind any measure
the Woman's Federation may see fit
to introduce that will be of benefit
pertaining to the welfare of future
Now, brothers, we want you to
throw all your strength into this move
ment and help make these meetings a
grand success, and do everything in
your power to get the desired legisla-
ton for the unfortunate women who
must toll.
You must act quickly, as the time
is short, and thanking you in advance
for the efforts you will put forth, and
to hear from you at an early
date as to what part you have taken
in the matter"

BOILER GIVE OUT.

OXFORD, O., Jan. 17-One OF the
oilers at the village electric light
liant gave out last night. Two of the
hree boilers at the plant have been
nown to be in bad shape for several
months, This fact, and the further
act that the village has no money
With which to repair the damage, has
brought about the agitation for the
purchase of current from outside. One
# the two remaining boilers is liable
give out at any moment; the other
said to be in good shape. AS it
will take from ten weeks to Ave
months to secure outside current after
t has been contracted for, there is a
probability that the people Of this
iillage may have to so back to coaloil
amps before the light question is set
led.

Spirit of Cooperation Shown in
Settling After-War Labor Problems

During the period of the war home
building was practically at a stand
still except for the national housing
projects at shipyards and munitions
works.
There is unquestionably, therefore,
a need of construction of practically
all kinds; there is labor power avail
able at present, and there is the neces-
sity for putting the nation into shape
SO that it may be equipped in the best
possible way for future developments.
