Labor Spy Exposed.

In a recent issue of the Labor Her
aid. published at Allentown, Pennsyl-
yania, Dave Williams, the editor,
publihsed a report on a Pittsburg
labor official, who was exposed as a
detective and spy in the ranks of
union labor. The men named in the
charges is Robert W. Beattie, who IS
an officer in the Firemen and Oile
Union, holding the position of vice
president and editor of the Journal
Of that organization. He was also
secretary of the Pittsburg central
body and president of labor bank.
President Tim Healy of the Firemen
and Oilers Immediately demanded the
resignation of Beattie as an officer
and member of that organization.
Continuing the Labor Herald says:
"Beattie is not the only one who
is known to be in this dirty game and
the members of the labor unions Will
not be safe until the unions are rid
of every dirty rat placed in them to
report the activities of these unions
to the manufacturers. The extent to
which these manufacturers have gone
to get reports on certain unions can
be estimated when it is stated that
Beattie has been in the employ OF
some agency for almost twelve and
one-half years, during which time he
has served on the Steel Strike Com
mittee of 1919."-Illinois Tradesman.

Food llnsfs Are Same.

Washington, July Food costs
hold their high figure, according to
the United States bureau of labor
statistics. Last May there was a de-
crease of two-tenths of l per cent in
the retail cost of food, as compared
with the previous month. This change
was so small that the department
says it was not sufficient to affect
the index number. 1t would be a
saving of but 4 cents on every $40
expended.

Bakers Expose Plot.

New York, July 12-Organlzed
bakers exposed a plot to mulct them
of heavy damages, and Judge Glennon
of the superior court dismissed the
charges.
The suit was filed by a bakery
proprietor who demanded $1,000 be-
cause the unionists asked "high
wages" and injured the business.
Alleged threats by the workers were
not sustained on the witness stand,
and Judge Glennon indicated that he
would order an investigation for the
purpoes of ascertaining if the plain
tiff committed perjury.

COOPERATIVE
PLAN SOLD
Building Under Construction
at Lanier Place Nearing
Completion.

The new Cooperative apartment
building being constructed at 1905
1anier place northwest, is rapidly
. nearing completion, and the apart
ments are being placed on the
market.
Edmund ]. Flynn, who is
handling the property, states that
five have already been sold. In
giving his views of cooperative
apartments, Mr.. Flynn says:
"Out Of the very natural desire
for the ownership of a home and
the multitude of advantages offered
by. apartment houses as dwelling
places has developed the plan Of CO
operative ownership Of apartment
buildings.
"Under this plan the buyer Of a
unit has all the sense Of proprietor.
ship and control inherent in the
ownership Of residence, combined
with the convenience and efficiency
Of an apartment home.
1.-THE apartment home may be
selected for it's conveniences with
avoidance Of household cares or be-
cause it solves the problem Of how
to live within ones means in an
expensive location.
"A ICHduL OWuCE Will saw dP
proximately half of the commercial
rent value of his apartment, in
Guiding interest on money invested
This is possible because by own
ing his own apartment home the
tenant owner saves the entire profit
that another would make If he
rented, together with the income
tax which must be paid on this
profit. In addition he effects
material savings by reason Of the
collective action of the tenant
owners in occupying. their OWE
apartments, thereby eliminating al
losses due from vacancies, uncol
lectable rents, brokerage fees fol
renting, excessive decorations an6
repairs due to the carelessness OF
frequent shifting of tenants. In
addition the subsequent increase ir

tand the union guard disarmed
The union, as we'll as Ell Aguila
Company, then requested the media
ton of the department of industry,
commerce and labor. Due to the
fact that Manager Jacobson, of Ell
Aguila Company, was absent from the
city at that time, the conferences did
not begin until March IL. They were
held in 6he City of Mexico. The pro-
ject previously presented by the gov
ernor of Tamaulipas was adopted as
basis for the conferences. Ell
Augifa's representatives assured the
mediators that they were ready to
accept these principles and were in
accord with the workmen's requests;
but that they could not accept them
due to the fact that the American AS
sociation of Petroleum Producers pre-
sided over in New York by Mr.. Guy
Stevens, and of which Ell Aguilaa is
member, prevented the company from
taking into consideration some of the
workmen's demands.
Outsiders Among Firms Repre-
Sentatives
The company was represented at
the conferences by Manager Jacob
sen, Mr.. Van Zollen, manager of the
Dutch Company, LA Corona" and
by Mr.. Tompkins, of the American
Association of Petroleum Producers
of New York. The workers were
represented by some of their fellow
workmen of the refinery. and by Rey-
Haldo Cervantes Torres, secretary of
the Mexican Federation of Labor.
While the conference was in har-
monious progress the representatives
of Ell Aguila stated that they could
not continue the negotiations while
Secretary Torres, who is not employ
ed by the company, continued as rep
resentative of the workmen, pursu-
ant to instructions received by the
company from the Producers Asso-
citation. AS the union refused to
yield the right to be represented by
persons of their own choice, and since
Mr.. Tompkins was also not employed
by Ell Aguila Company but repre-
sented an outside institution, the con
ferences came to an end on March 16
Since then the Aguila Company has
refused to resume the conferences.

Building Council Warns
of Inferior Construction
As Maker Of High Rents

By international Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C. - Industry
must organize for service, for con-
structive effort, for orderly continu-
ity, for justice to all who participate. !"
In the spirit of the foregoing ex-
tract from the report of the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor adopted at the federation's
1923 convention, the American Con-
struction Council has issued a warn
ing against irresponsible groups"
in the building industry which are
blamed for large percentage of i'll
ferior construction. Poor construc-
ton and inferior materials make for
higher rents, the warning says.
The American Construction Coun-
Gil, which represents all elements in
the building industry, is a conscious
attempt of the industry to regulate
itself Believing that the ills of the
building industry should be cured, its
abuses eliminated, not by govern
mental and court action but by vol
untary work of the industry itself,
the council proposes to wage war on
inferior construction.
Warns of Two Evils
Elimination of bad construction
and unsound financing in the industry
will be a big step forward, the coun-
Gil believes and with this in mind, its
president, Franklin ID. Roosevelt,
warns against these evils in the fol-
lowing statement:
"One very serious situation con-
fronting the country requires special
attention. A large percentage of
present-day building construction
throughout the country is distinctly
inferior in quality and unsound in
financing. Thousands of such struc-
lures, now under way or recently
erected, especially in housing, are
subject to such rapid deterioration
that within ten years time, some
times less, they will be practically
valueless.
"This rapid depreciation, coupled
with unsound methods of promotion
must entail enormous loss of the prin-
cipal investment, besides entailing
serious expense and heavy additional
burdens for repairs and maintenance
after few years. A still further
burden is added by the higher rates
of insurance due to the use of inferior
materials and poor construction. All
these make for higher rents.
''This situation results from the
activities of irresponsible groups
found in every element of the indus.
