BUILDING A HOUSE IN A DAY.

Somebody asked the other day what
Edison was inventng. We have be
come so accustomed to this wizard
keeping busy on our problems, ana
cannot conceive Edison ever taking
a rest
Edison is an institution, like Con
gress or the postotfice department;
only Edison costs US nothing, and is
always doing something worth while,
But Edison has been on the job, as
usual, and among tile other things he
has evolved is something in the way
OF house that bids fair to solve this
rent hog problem,
Edison all these years has been
pounding away at the concrete house
'sprcblem. and though he has appar
emily solved it several times always
something popped up to modify his
victory.
This time it looks as though he
i had it.
y His latest offering is a two-story
concrete house that it is promised,
can be built in one day
A good looking house; big, roomy
house that's warm in the winter and
cool in the summer; that will never
wear OUT, that needs no paint ana
that can be built even now and be
rented for $23 a month
No frame house can be built ap-
preaching these specifications that
can be rented for less than twice 1913,
and unless there be some hilbert
hidden drawback this Edison house
should be life saver
And if private enterprise viii not
utilize it, then cities should go into
the house building business until this
present search vi living places is
supplied: for sHday all over the coun.
try families are actually suffering be-
cause they cannot secure decent abid
ing places at a rent they can afford
Until the housing problem is solved
il is public menace, and the private
landlord certainly has given MS no
hope.

THE MOLDER
nv w. r Dineen)

(By w. r. Dineen)
The molder's life is a gay old round
Pound away, pound away, pound
away!
Strange soft notes in the common
sound
of poems and butts, as the rammers
beat;
Ard the softer crunch of the mold
er's feet,
As over the tempered sand he treads,
On cope, or novel, or open beds,
Dancing about, like a child at play,
Then grabs rammer and pounds
away.
A busy life has the molder man
Shovel in, shovel in, shovel in!
Then tucks the bars, as a colder can;
Fills a cope, then rams it snug,
Roaming the holes of each long sprue
plug;
Calls for alife,-but-stop-what's
that
Hand on your ears, hehas got a rat!
The air is filled with an awful din,
AS he shovels out, what he shoveled in.
He quiets down, as his buddies say,
"Try again, try again, try again!
Maybe your sand is dry today"
And in the cloud there comes a rift,
He tries again, and nice clean lift,
Raps his pattern, yanks it out,
His facing bag he jerks about,
AS gently the motto soothes his pain,
The molder's motto, 'Try again"
But hushed at last is the molder's
tune
"The blast, the blast, the blast!"
Roars out in the early afternoon;
Now is the busy time of day,
When the liquid metal is borne away
Ard exemplified are the words once
said,
by the sweat of your brow you must
earn your bread"
And if sweat be the price, he should
never fast,

APPLETON HEADS
|. F. OF 7. U.

It will be gratifying news to the
great body of constructive trade un-
ionists in America, and to the host
of his personal friends, that William
A.. Appleton has been elected Presi-
dent of the international Federation
of Trade Unions at the congress in
Amsterdam. 1t will be pleasant also
to learn that Mr.. Appleton was NOM
mated for that office by Samuel Com
pers.
William A. Appleton has been for
years secretary of the General Fed
Grafton of Trade Unions in England
In 1917 he visited the United States
as head of delegation representing
the General Federation of Trade I'm
ions. One of the most cherished pos
sessions IN his rich collection of me-
mentoes is an illuminated address
presented to him by Typographical
Union No. 6, of New York, during that
visit.
Appleton always has been staunch
friend of the American Federation of
Labor and an ardent admirer of its
policies and achievements. More than
any other European leader of labor,
he thinks in accord with Samuel Com
pers.
During the war Appleton was tire
less in his work for victory Night
and day he drove his brain and his
powerful physique under a burden of
war work that would have baffled
most men. His tasks ranged all the
way from sending books and letters of
cheer to soldiers to the delicate tasks
of high diplomacy which he performed
entirely unofficially in almost every
conceivable direction.
1t is a hopeful sign and one that
will find welcome in America that
Appleton, constructive, progressive,
democratic to the core, should be Sc
lected from among all Europeans to
head the international labor move
ment at time when so many signs
of intellectual vagary have been COM
ing from that side Of the world.
Just what the election of Appleton
signifies in the way of changing trend
in the whirl of European labor may
not be clear at the moment, but the
one certain thing is that Appleton, as
head of the international labor move
ment, viii leave his impress upon the
whole movement.
Hitherto it has been the secretary
of the international that has been the
executive officer and who was looked
to as head of the world movement. The
election of Appleton changes that sit
uation. President Appleton viii be
