Open-ShOppers Go
Over to Unions
(By Federated Press)

Chicago-Withdrawal by three of
the largest contracting firms from the
Landis award builders association is
seen by Chicago labor as the breaking
up of that open-shop combine. The
firms which are returning to union
shop conditions are Thompson-Star-
rett, John Griffths & Son, and the
Fuller Construction Co., all doing a
national business.
"The action of the building contrac-
tors means the open-shop committees
teeth as a power in the building in
dustry have been drawn" says Ed
ward Ryan, president Building Trades
council. "Officials of these contract
ing firms are men who have been
brought up in the building industry.
They were forced to employ inefficient
building workmen imported by the
citizens committee to fill the positions
of union mechanics.
eThis drained their resources to a
point of bankruptcy. | look for other
contractors to secede from the Lands
award group"

GET CLEAN AND STAY CLEAN
Communication to Metropolitan News
paper Would Seem to Be Apple
able to Any Community.

A communication to the Kansas City
Star says:
"No time to clean up now," says
DR.. D. 81. Bullock. When there are
piles of rubbish and trash around the
city, must we wait until May l to
dispose Of them? Is that modern
health theory? Is not prevention the
best cure?
Our vacant lots ere alive with trash
it blows in our eyes and throats, 1t
is in evidence wherever we go in GER
tain Districts. The town Is alive with
trash now, why wait until May to
clean it up? Do we take bath only
once year? Are we not compelled
to wash our faces and hands dozen
times a day for the dirt and SCOT?
Any time dirt and trash accum-
ulate Is cleanup time. You cannot
keep up with Dirt unless you clean up
as you go along, same as with
garbage or any kind Of housekeeping.

Concrete Old Building Material.

The precedent for the use Of con-
crete is at least 1900 years DID, struc-
lures Of old Rome having dressed
masonry facing on concrete core. On
exposed foundations Of many ancient
structures may be seen the board
marks Of forms, just as on concrete
buildings erected now in the metro
politan district, says the New York
Times. This material, withstanding
the ravages of 1000, years, Is easily
available in the form Of concrete block
or tile. Building department lists show
nearly 300 manufacturers Of concrete
units in Brooklyn alone, and there is
probably an equal number In Queens.

Costly EdQs

Up in Allentown, Pa, the othes day.
I heard a Schwab story, writes cor
respondent Of The Nations Business
Charlie has a large up-to-the-minute
farm on the outskirts. The townspeo-

that his favorite joke is to tell each
and sundry that If ever they need any
thing In the way Of eggs or butter or
anything on the farm, just to go and
take 1t. "Tll let you have 1t at cost"
he adds. His friends laugh heartily
"Charlie's eggs" one Of them assure,

Five trees are being cut down for

This warning comes from Alexander
Macdonald, who devotes his time work

In 1850 New York ranked first In

third in line. Western lumber states
will have much the same story to re-

Organized labor's greatest enemy
is the luke-warm union man. He
bears the same relation to the union
that hypocrite bears to the church.
When the labor movement is falsely
measured it is generally by the stan
dard of the trades-union hypocrite.
