48-HOUR CROSSING
OF ATLANTIC AIM
Boat Planned by Speed King
Z Will Make Daring Attempt
Next Year.
BY Consolidated Press.

BY Consolidated Press.
& MIAMI BEACH, March 21.-An at
tempt to link two continents by a
4S-hour squirt across the Atlantic in
100-foot power boat is to be made
by Gar Wood, speed boat king, and
: a party of five widely known figures
in the. motor boat world. including
{. F. Chapman, secretary of the Ma
ttonal Power Boat Racing Commits
sion: c. F. Kettering, experimental
engineer of Dayton, Ohio; Gordon
HammersIey of New York City, and
two others yet unnamed.
Commodore Wood, who is here to
participate in the annual regatta, is
working on designs for a. super-feed
boat capable OF maintaining a pace
of 100 miles an hour or more. He
hopes to make the attempt early next
year. Although the dominating factor
in construction of the craft will be
speed, the boat will be amply large
TO accommodate seven passengers and
carry $500 gallons of fuel
The start will be made from New
York, with Southampton, England, as
the objective. says Commodore Wood.
Provision will be made for refueling
about midocean.
Present construction plans call for a
100-foot craft, built along the trim
lines of Commodore Woods Baby
Cars. of multiple step design and
equipped with six twin Liberty
motors, which are to be especially de-
signed by Commodore Wood at his
Detroit plant.
Steered by GyrOscOpe.
Perhaps the most important factor
in the design of the boat will be the
use of gyroscope for steering. Com
modore Wood has made experiments
hero with a gyroscope equipped power
boat, and finds that the device will
hold the craft on an absolutely true
course, he says. 1t will not only re-
1ieve tedious hours at the wheel, but
will make for quicker passage and
steady the craft in choppy seas.
Passengers will be provided with
special headgear to protect ears
against the roar of the motor and
enable them to communicate with
each other by means of telephone sets
which will be part of the headgear
equipment.
Commodore Wood says he has been
assured of the sanction of the Power
Boat Racing Association and hopes
by this spectacular feat TO conclusive
ly demonstrate the advance made in
power boat construction in recent
years.
"A speed boat capable of making
even $50 miles an hour is not an idle
dream the commodore says. IF the
French make challenge for the gold
cup, I intend to build boat that will
astonish the motor boating world.
My next Miss America will be
marked Improvement in many re-
spects over racing boats of the past
two years"

CROWD SHOWS LANGLEY
NEEDS ASSEMBLY HALL
More Than $50 Parents and
Teachers Throng Corridor and
Rooms for Meeting.

The need of an assembly hall at
the Langley Junior High School was
dem at meeting of the
Parent-Teacher Association Tuesday
night, when more than $50 parents
and teachers were crowded into the
all and scroolrooms.
The committee appointed at the
February meeting to investigate why
the mcfarland Junior High School
had been given an appropriation for
the erection of an assembly hall and
additional wings reported that the
need for classroomS at that school
was imperative and it was decided
as an economy to erect the assembly
hall at the same time. The commit
tee reported 1t was told an appropria-
ton for the assembly hall at Langley
would probably be made next year.
Complaint was made by some par
ents because there is no sidewalk at
the school. 1t was voted by the as
ISOLATION to appropriate funds for
flower beds and lawns to be made in
front of the school. This work will
be done by volunteer children, with
the approval of their parents.
Representative r. G.. Lowrey of
Mississippi gave a dialect talk. The
glee club and orchestra of the school
rendered selections.

Building Construction at
Record Top; Residences
Lead Business Structures

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, d. c., Sept. l6.-Bulid-
ing construction for the present
calendar year is the highest ever
known and of the total value of the
buildings which are under way resi-
dences represent "A per cent. This
includes both individual homes and
apartments.
Business buildings represent % per
cent of the total value of 1925 con-
struction so far. The term includes
both commercial buildings and fac
tories.
Public buildings are Is per cent OF
the total. These include not only
buildings built with public funds but
also such CONSTRUCTION as churches
and hospitals. Public works and utili-
ties are 16 per cent of the total.
While residential construction ex-
ceeds all other classes, it is not quite
so large a factor as in the building of
last year, when about 46 per cent Of
the value of construction was account
ed for by residences. The actual value
of residential construction this year
is larger than last, however.
The figures on construction values
are taken from the surveys conducted
by the F. w. Dodge Corporation which
reports on the value on contracts let
over most of the country.

New Public Utility
Courses Offered BY
University of Illinois

Urbana, ILL.,, September.-Establish-
ment of new graduate courses in pub
lie utility finance and administration
in addition to the utility courses stud
led by more than 100 students last
year, has bee nannounced by Charles
M. Thompson, Dean of the College of
Commerce of the University of Illi-
nois.
The public utility companies de-
mand for university trained workers
has brought widespread interest
among undergraduates, and although
established only two years ago, the
courses in principles, operation, man.
agement and regulation of public util-
tiles have been among the most popu-
lar in the College of Commerce.
The twenty graduate students now
doing advanced study in the economics
of public utilities at the University
of Illinois, probably constitute the
largest group devoted to the study Of
single course in any graduate schoo
In the United States, according to the
Dean. Sixteen annual scholarships and
fellowships ranging from $500 to $500
each are available to graduate stu
dents meeting the established require
ments.

Power and Light Costs 90
Down; Now 10 Per
Cent Below 1913 Level

Washington, d. C., Sept. 16.-Elec-
trio current is one Of the few things
which cost the American consumer
less today than before the war. with
inereasing use and production. the
price Is constantly dropping, accord
inc to figures gathered By the De-
partment of Labor.
The present average cost Of electric
itv IN representative cities through
out the country is 10 per cent below
the level Of 1913. This marks drop
of about l per cent in the last year
for in 1924 the average cost was = per
cent below 1913. The 1923 cost was
7 per cent under 1913, that Of 1922 b
per cent under the 1921 per cent.
There are several reasons for the
decline in price.
Greater production of electricity
means cheaper production per unit as
in the case of other commodities. The
greater production has been brought
about by increasing demand both Tor
industrial and household purposes.
Utility plants also have achieved
greater economy in the use of fuel
50 that a ton of coal produces more
kilwatt hours than formerly.
Furthermore, waterp0wer Is coming
into Increasing use in this country and
this is another factor toward cheap
ening production. Waterpower, how
ever, is not available in all sections.

Opposition In Carpen-

the aged and infirm members of the
union and apply the proceeds Of the
sale to an old age pension fund to be
used for the payment of pensions 10
members.
The national headquarters here has
been advised that the Los Angeles Dis
ffict Council Of Carpenters has unanl-
mously adopted a resolution opposing
the plan.
The general offices of the union re-
Gently asked a referendum vote on the
subject of the disposal of the Florida
site. The action of the Los Angeles
council asks that the proposition be
voted down on the ground that such 4
home can take care of more members
in a better way than the proposed pen
sion plan. The resolution points to the
Union Printers Home in Colorado
Springs and Mooseheart and Moose
haven Sailors Home as examples ot
homes for the well being of union
workers. The resolution also. points
out that the carpenters have a large
number Of inidgents in the ranks aud
only a reasonable allowance with which
to care for them, making it necessary
to adopt the most economical method
in providing for them. The council
then asks that the carpenters vote
down the proposal of sale. The refer
endum is now in the process of being
taken.
The property is at Lakeland, Fla,
and was bought by the union for
100000. Since the Florida land boom
it is believed that the Lakeland site
will double in value within the next
five years. The property has been
considerably improved and is regarded
as valuable site. 1t could be sold
today for much more than it cost.

National City Bank Pre-
diets Biggest Volume of
Retail Business This Fall

BY International Labor News Service.
New York City, Sept. l6.-"The
opinion prevails that conditions are ia
vorable to a large volume of business
this fall probably the largest ever
handled, but the productive capacity
of the country is now thought to be so
large in all lines that there is no UNI
easiness about ability to get goods as
wanted, or at the present price level. y
The foregoing summary of general
business prospects, based on its re-
markable statistical advantages, is
given out by the National City Bank
of New York for the current month.
1t is an encouragement for those who
have been optimistic about the indus
trial and commercial self-sufficiency
of America regardless of European
conditions. 1t is also pointed out that
Europe is rapidly returning to a
healthy condition of finance. No dan
ger of flooding this country with cheap
products is expected now as the result
of the war debt accommodations made
by this country, according to the
banks experts.
The continued absence of the specu-
lation spirit is feature of the com
mercial situation. The principal fac
tor in the state of confidence is the
balance restored between agriculture
and the other industries. Prices OF
foods have risen five points since Ma,
but there is little price imitation
Touching on the European situation
and the future of industry here, the
banks statement continues:
Great re-inforcements are coming
to the worlds wealth producing re

Indiana Federation of
Labor Holds Big
Labor Day Celebration

BY International Labor News Service.
Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 16.-The
Indiana Federation of Labor, in con-
junction with the Central Labor I'm
ion of Indianapolis, staged a huge
Labor Day celebration at the State
Fair Grounds in connection with the
opening of the State Fair.
William Nj. Houston, international
organizer for the United Mine Work
ers of America, spoke to several thou
sand people. The day was given over
entirely to labor and its hosts, and
thousands of workmen representing
virtully every organized craft in the
state, participated. The usual Labor
Day parade was abandoned owing to
the hot weather and the crowded con-
dition of the city incident to the fair.
Mr., Houston discussed labor queS-
tions in general and the conditions in
the coal industry in particular. He
dwelt on the fight the miners are max
ing for higher wages and better con-
ditions in the hard coal fields and re-
counted some of the experiences the
organization is going through to es-
tablish the union in West Virginia,
Kentucky and Tennessee. He said the
miners do not intend to give up organ
ization work until the non-uniOn fields
have been conquered and the miners of
those states given something more
than starvation wages and virtual
slavery.
The celebration was one of the larg-
est held here for many years and
showed the solidarity of union labor in
the Middle West.

The miners are taking the strike as
a matter of course, leaving the settle
ment in the hands of the scale COM
mittee and the international officials.
Many Of the miners have gone on va

Indiana Mines Reopen.
lndiana's some 10000 coal miners
may get look-in on work this fall
if the general strike in the anthra-
cite industry continues for 30 days or
longer, in the opinion of Tyler G..
Lawton, president Of District IL,
Indiana. United Mine Workers Of
America.
A number Of mines in the central
and southern Indiana coal fields have
resumed OF are preparing to open,
Most of these workings have been
down for many weeks. A number of
the larger mines in Sullivan County
are reported to have received substan.
tial contracts and are enjoying a com
plete revival.
Mr.. Lawton, in discussing the stu
alton in the soft coal fields of the
Organized States, said that in 1902 a
condition existed similar to the one
existing now. At that time the an
thracite miners were called out in a
generl strike and stayed out for more
than nine months. Almost immedi-
ateily the bituminous industry re-
sumed full operations, he said.
Miners Hit by Slump.
Conditions in the Terre Haute field
are reported improving and more than
20 mines are working perhaps half
time or more at the present. Indiana
miners have been hard hit by the
slump in the coal industry owing to
inroads made by non-union coal from
West Virginia and Kentucky.

Output of Pig Iron
Turns Upward From
Low Point In July
By International Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service
Washington, D. c., Sept. 16.-The
output of pig iron in the United
States again is mounting after reach
ing low point of the year in July.
The output for July was 1884, 24
gross tons. That of August was g.
704,476 tons. Prospects are that COM
ing months will see the gain con-
tinued.
Pig iron production reached its
highest point Of the year in March.
when more than three and one-half
million tons were produced. 1t went
just below three million tons for May
and continued the decline into July.
Pig iron production this year has
been well ahead of last year for every
month so far. 1t is probable that no
month of 1925 will see a figure even
as low as the corresponding month of
1924.
Pig iron is one of the most trust
worthy business barometers. Last
year production turned upward after
July. 1t is now generally admitted
that July saw the country come out

Miners Prayers EfficaciOus !;
, Workers In Okla. Fields
Respond to Call for Strike

By international Labor News Service
indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 16.-The
prayers of the miners in the Henryet.
ia, Okla, coal fields, who implOreJ
divine help in opening the eyes of
non-union miners, and who were ar
rested and jailed because eli their
prayers and singing, have apparently
been efficacious, as the great majority
of miners who were forced into en-
ployment at starvation wages have
laid down their tools and gone on
strike.
The headqurters Of the United Mine
Workers here has been advised that a
strike call issued by President William
Dalrymple of District 81 has been
answered by at least 1900 miners who
have been working internationally in
mines where the 1917 scale or less has
been forced on the workers.
At HartSh0rn, Okla, more than TO-
900 men, women and children gathered
to hear the strike call read and to
attend a demonstration which lasted
throughout the day. John Z. White,
former intentional president of the
United Mine Workers, and David
Fowler, of Pennsylvania, made
speeches.
1t is said that virtually every local
union in District 81 was represented
at the meeting. The district includes
Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas.
