ON STAR BUILDING
Part of Wa|kout Against
Fuller Company in All Sec
| tions of Country.

ton to The Evening Star building

penters employed by the Fuller Con-
struction Company walked out on
strike. At the same time about 1000
Company on large building projects
throughout the country also struck.

by the Fuller Company. were or
ftered to remain away from work, be-
ginning today. - -
Early Adjustment Expected.
Word was received from New York
today indicating that contractors of
New York are supporting the Fuller
Company in the dispute. Efforts to
adjust the differences between the
employers and the men are being
made by the Master Builders EN-
ployers' Association Of New York. it
was learned. A speedy amicable ad-
justment is expected.
The countrywide strike against the
Fuller company ensued from a juris-
dictional dispute arising over an
award made several days ago by the
National Board Of Jurisdictional
Award in Building Industry in favor
of metal workers employed on the
Hibernia National Bank building in
New Orleans. The metal workers and
carpenters both claimed the right to
set metal window frames and the
jurisdictional board. composed of rep
resentatives of labor, contractors, ar
chitects and engineers, decided in ia
vor Of the metal workers.
The carpenters refused ia accept the
decision and when the Fuller com
pany sought to employ non-union men
in their place a general strike was
called by William L. Hutchinson
president OF the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters, Indianapolis.
600 Strike In New York.
About 500 carpenters are on strike

COURT MUST APPROVE.
Counsel to Ask Endorsement of De-
cision Regarding Light Rates.

The District Supreme Court will
have to approve the decision of the
Public Utilities Commission CONTINUING
existing electric light rates from April
to September 1 before the decision
can be made effective.
This approval is necessary because
Of the injunction issued at the request
of the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany in 1917 restraining the commits
sion from changing rates until the
finally settled by the higher courts.
Counsel for the commission and the
company probably will go before the
court today or tomorrow to request
an o. X. Of the decision.
The official order of the commission
in the electric light case reads in part
as follows:
The commission stated in it's or
der No. 3ss, September 3. 1920. that
the increased rates therein authorized
would increase the revenues of the
company approximately 100000 per
annum. The monthly reports Of the
operations of the company. as filed
with the commission. show that dur
! ing the FIVE and one-half months
from September Is, 1920, to March
l. 1921. the increase in revenue from
the schedules affected by the new
rates has been over $200. 900. or at
an annual rate of approximately the
amount of the commi ssion's estimate,
allowance being made for the fact
that the ensuing six and one-half
months are months of lower con-
sumption.
AT the hearing on the pending ap-
plication the company presented evil
dence to show that during the cal
endar year, 1920 the net operating
income. after allowing for deprecia-
ton at the rates prescribed by the
commission. was S1.107, ,S15.45. or a re-
turn of 6S5 per cent on the fair value
of the company's property. as found
by the commission.
The petitioner includes in the
operating expenses shown on the in
/ come statement submitted in evil
dence the item of federal income
taxes for 1920. amounting to $685.
35S.SS. The commission has expressed
the opinion in recent cases before it
| that such taxes should be borne by
the corporations and not passed on to
! the public. The commission adheres
!: 10 it's opinion that such taxes should
/ not be included as an operating ex-
/ pense. but should be paid from the
, net income of the company.
/ After a careful consideration OF
! all the circumstances of this case the
commission is of the opinion that a
continuance of the existing schedule
of rates of the Potomac Electric Pow
er Company may reasonably be
granted, not indefinitely. as suggested
/ by the company. but for a limited
: period of time.
The commission then orders pres
! ont rates continued until September ]

Japanese Easy to Learn.

Sir Dennison Ross, director Of the
London school of oriental studies, in
an exhortatiOn to his countrymen to
learn japanese, says that this is one
of the easiest languages of the world
to pronounce. "A1ost Of the words end
in vOwels and none Of the consOnants
offer any difficulties" The structure
of Japanese is very peculiar and very
strange to the beginner. It is hard to
realize q grammar which recognizes no
persons and genders-but such is the
case with the Japanese. The language
also has no relative pronouns. How
ever, there is no reason why people
whose mother tongue is English should
fight shy of the language. For prac-
teal, everyday purposes, six months
study of the spoken tongue will carry
IN intelligent man a long way provided
he has competent teachers.
