his eyes beseechingly Hindleyward,

but the papers were in Mr.. Hindley' s

In this connection 1t will be recall

copy of the initial announcement of

Automobile Factories Can't Keep Up With the Demand
HOUSE OF u rENEMENrs
To Be Built at Windsor at a Cost of
100000.

Burlington, April 23.--That the only
solution of the housing problem is for
the employers of large numbers of peo-
pie to build living accommodations
for Their help is the opinion of George
0. Gridley, manager of the Windsor
branch Of the National Acme COM
pany, who was in the city last night on
business. His branch is now building
in Windsor what will be one of the
largest apartment houses in New Eng
land. 1t is to cost in the neighbor-
hood OF 100000 and will contain 72
apartments of four and five rooms
each. In addition to this his company
is just completing ten apartment
houses for two families each. In all
the Acme company has constructed
about rs houses in addition to these.
This new apartment house for which
the ground is now being broken, will
be 365 feet long and four stories high.
Ii will be of tapestry brick with lime
will be equipped with bath, electric
stoves, operated from the central pow
er plant, and will contain practically
everything that is found in a first.
class city apartment house 1t Is hop
ed to have this completed by Novem-
Der /.
Mr. Gridley's company has prev
iously built club house for the en-
ployees, who now number about 1000.
The club house is 100 feet long and
two stories in height. On the first
floor is the gymnasium, where basket
bali and other games are played. In
the basement are the bowling alleys,
pool and billiard tables, etc. The club
house contains reading rooms and all
other comforts Of first class club.
Motion pictures are also given in the
club house.
Although housing conditions have
been bad in Windsor Tor some time,
the movement of industries TO smaller
towns has included that place, with
the result that hosiery and shoe fac
tory are on their way there now, In
fact the hosiery factory is there now
and is one reason for the shortage
of houses. The National Acme com
pany also assists their employees TO
build their own homes. and has the
second largest building and loan as.
sociation in the State.
The factory is one of the largest
in the State and not an automobile op-
perates which does no. contain some
parts built on machines manufactured
by the National Acme company. The
main factory, which is really one big
room is 900 by 270 feet in size. and
there are other buildings attached.
This factory has had a wonderful
growth in the past few years.

BUILDERS RAISE WAGES
Keep Promise to Pay More II Living
Cost Grew.

New York, April PA general vol
untary wage increase of 81 day for
all Of the 10000 building workers in
this city will be granted May l. it was
announced last night by Roswell d.
Tompkins, secretary of the New York
Building Trades Council,
The increase, which will amout al.
most to $700000 a week, has been
granted by the Building Trades En-
ployers' association in accordance
with promise made last winter at
the end of the building lockout that
future increases in the cost of living
would be met by further pay increases,
Secretary Tomplins further eX-
planned the increase as mark of ap-
probation for the way the workers
have lived up to the agreement for
1920 since the first of the year and as
step designed to discourage the de-
velopment of radical sentiment.
Mr. Tompkins added that similar
increase will be granted next year
unless the living cost is pushed down
by the prosecution of profiteers.
Both the actual increase and the
promise of another are expected to aid

Interchurch World Drive to Be-

ALL VOLUNTARY WORK
Was In Marash at Time Of the Massa-
cres and Now Back in
Constantinople.

Middlebury April 24.-Five million
workers, a million more people than
the United States had under arms at
the end of the war, will be engaged
during the week, April 25 TO May in
putting across the great United Fin
ancial Campaign in which thirty dis
Itinct denominations are joining in the
Interchurch World Movement to raise
the huge sum of $336,777.572.
This is the sum required to enable
the thirty cooperating denominations
to perform their fair share OF the re-
ligious life OF the world. The estimate
lis based on careful survey OF the
needs of the United States and OF the
various missionary fields
And this vast army of five million
will be, in an overwhelming proper
tion, voluntary army. At the head
comes the National Campaign Cabi-
net, made up OF representatives OF
each denomination, with a campaign
director general Then come the re.
gional united campaign directors again
working in cooperation with the de-
lnominational directors. From them
the organization spreads out fanwise
TO the state united campaign directors
and the denominational directors for
the states. Under these come the
county united campaign directors and
the county denominational directors,
who in turn head up the directors OF
the united and UNCONVENTIONAL cam.
lpaigns in the community. And so the
Organization extends down TO the To-
cal church teams and the teams oil
friendly citizens who will canvass the
individual.
In al cases the campaign directors
will be assisted by committees, vary
ling in size according to local require
lments. lit Is easy to see now how
the army of five million Is recruited
| Multiply the state representatives by
4S, the county representative by 3.
600, the community representative by
tens of thousands, and the local church
and citizens teams by, say, 100, 1000 and
the result will be somewhere in the
lnelghborhood of five million people
all working together to put across the
biggest financial campaign ever un
dertaken on a basis OF voluntary Civ,
