PLATING SALTS MADE HERE
IMPORTANT CHEMICAL

Plating salts is one of the most
important products manufactured
by a local concern. These salts
which are used in the plating of all
metals are manufactured on a large
scale by the Roessler s. Hasslacher
Chemical Company Of this city. The
art of plating n metal on another
by such simple means as immersipg
a piece of iron In a copper sulphate
solution has been known for thou
sands of years.
Modern plating did not commence
| or. any scale Until the invention of
the dynamo about 1850. From that
time on the art has progressed and
broaaened in all lines until there
are very few branches of industry
that do not use some plated ma
terial.
You will have difficulty in finding
a room in your house that does not
contain plated articles such as lamp
bases, photograph parts. picture
frames, book ends, door hinges,
| pins, jewelry, casters, silverware.
coasters, gas and electric light fix
lures, polished stove parts and bath
room fittings. Different metals are
plated on different bases for many
different purposes; some for decor

both.
\ Among the more common metals
plated every day are gold, silver,
nickel, copper and zinc. Combina-
lions of metals may also be plated
out in definite proportions, an ex-
ample of which is brass.
Without plating processes we
would have to do without many of
the modern conveniences we enjoy
and the price of many others would
be considerably higher than at pres
n AS an instance take the mod
ern automobile lamp. Many are of
steel which is copper plated and
finally silver plated and polished. II
these lamps were solid brass and
then silver plated they would cost
more than at present. The finely
polished bumpers are not solid
nickel but steel nickel plated as
also are many of the cars fittings.
BY multiplying such instances it is
soon apparent that without plating
the cost of a car would not only be
considerably higher than at present,
but it would be less good to look
upon. The household sewing ma
chine fits in the same class and also
many other articles. Far less jew
elry would be worn as 1t would take
an ardent youth indeed to keep up
a supply of solid gold knickknacks
and platinum pins.

PROPOSE BOARD TO PREVENT
STRIKE BY ARBITRATION

The creation of a permanent Ar
bitration Board to prevent strikes
lockouts and other costly delays In
the building industry in st. Louis
was urged in a letter from the
Master Builders Association, COM
posed of employing contractors, to
the st. Louis Building Trades Coun-
Gil of the building trades unions.
The letter was suggested by recent
remarks of John H. Donlin, presi-
dent Of the Building Trades Depart
ment of the American Federation of
Labor at Cincinnati. in which Dom
lin declared that the nation was
tired of strikes and lockouts and dis
gusted with such institutions as
make them possible.
In the letter to the st. Louis
Council, signed by r. L. Rinehart,
president of the Master Builders
Association, the contractors organi-
cation concurs in Donlin's views.
and suggests a permanent arbitra-
ton board as a solution of the prob
lem.
