MORTAR FORMULA
ALREADY ON BOOKS
Building Inspector Hennessy
Suggested One Be Drafted

When Building Inspector Ed
ward J. Henneesy recently pointed
10 the absence OF an ordinance
specifying formula for motar as
one hindrance to the enforcement
OF safety laws In construction, he
apparently was unaware OF the ex-
istence of a law. on tho books for
more than 10 years, definitely set
ting forth the formula which must
be used.
The ordinance, copied today at
the office of the inspector, from
the book In daily use by the In
spector, reads as follows:
Sec. EOS. "All brick laid In nom
freezing weather shall be vet I'M
mediately before being laid. The
brick used in all buildings shall DO
good. hard well-burned brick. The
sand used for mortar in all build
ings shall BE clean, sharp sand
(Plainville sand preferred) and shall
not be finer than me standard sam
pies kept In the office OF the inspec-
tor of buildings. Cement mortar
shall be made OF sand and cement
in the proportion OF not more than
made OF not more than four parts of
Portland cement, or two parts sand
TO one part Rosendale. and shall be
made of not more tina nfour parts OF
sand. Lime mortar shall be made of
rot more than four parts OF sand to
one part Of lime. and shall be thor
oughly slaked. Cement and lime
mortar shall be made Of one part OF
lime, one part OF cement and three
parts OF sand to each"
Inspector Hennessy's statement
followed the finding that several
apartment houses had been erected
or were being erected with mortar
not containing quantity Of cement
which the building commission felt
was sufficient to insure safety. He
considered recommending adoption
Of an ordinance fixing the cement to
be used in mixture, but he did
not DO SO.
: The mortar mixture used in the
West Main street fix-apartment
house from which tenants recently
moved speedily as a move for safety
will be studied when the building is
being partially RACED soon,

HUBBARD SPEAKS
ON BUS EXPANSION
Industry Guilty Of Abuses Which
Hurt Railroads

New Haven, Nov. 1S-Business
men OF today, unless neglectful Of
their responsibilities, must take heed
Of what past experiences has shown
in the history OF canal, railroad and
other means Of transportation for
the purpose Of meeting the present
day situation brought about by the
recent advance in motor transporta-
ton, according to L. Kent Hubbard,
president of the Manufacturers as
ISOLATION Of Connecticut, who ad-
dressed the annual meeting at Os-
born hall, New Haven, this after
noon.
The fact that in many cases the
operators OF motor freight and pas
senger haulage have been guilty Of
rebating and other determinations
with the result that they have been
given practically the free use Of
highways, streets and terminals,
opens the door to a period OF depres-
sion like unto that brought about by
the railroads years ago.
Consolidation and coordination
must take place, stated the speaker
who added that, fortunately for the
motor trucks and motor bus regu-
lation of transportation agencies has
reached a fairly reasonable status,
although a condition Of over regu.
lation exists.
Inevitable and necessary Is the
immediate federal regulation Of
| interstate motor trucks and COM
mon carriers said Mr.. Hubbard and
he outlined several principles which
should be employed in arriving at
fair and reasonable legislation.
state regulation of motor vehicle
common carriers engaged in pas
senger traffic has been placed on a
fairly firm basis. he said, and he
urged that common carrier motor
trucks also be compelled to secure
certificates of public convenience or
necessity from the public utilities
commission, although trucks oper
| ated as an adjunct TO private bust
ness should not come under that
commissions jurisdiction. He fur.

isolated groups of wage workers.
In 1884 the Maryland legislature
authorized the organization of trade
unions and declared their object to be
ITO promote the well being of the
members in their every day life and
for the mutual assistance in securing
the most favorable conditions for the
labor of their members" The same
Legislature enacted a law which pro-
vided that ian agreement or comb
ton by two or more persons to do,
or procure to be done, any act in con-
temptation or furtherance of a trade
dispute between employers and work
men, shall not be indictable as a con-
spiracy, if such act committed by one
person would not be punishable as an
Offense."
In 1886 congress enacted q law to
legalize the incorporation Of national
trade unions" This was taken to be
trap, as it was evident that the OBJ
ject of those who supported the pass
age Of he law was to place trade un-
ions in a position where they could
be proceeded against in the courts.
This law, however, gave labor the
right to organize, otregulate wages,
hours of labor and the conditions Of
labor, and for the protection Of indi-
vidual righs in the prosecution of la
Dor. The effect of this law, as in
that enacted in Maryland in 1884, was
to remove the common law disability
Of combination to raise the wages and
establish working conditions.
Sherman Antitrust Law.
While the Sherman antitrust act Of
1890 was said by it's supporters not
to affect labor, still it was used af-
forwards almost entirely against the
wage earners. Then came the Clay
ton act of 1914 which declared that
the labor Of a human being is not
a commodity or article Of commerce"
It also provided for jury trials in
certain contempt cases. The Clayton
law was enacted in 1914 but the fed
eral judges paid little attention to it.
But the agitation kept up by labor
was so persistent and aggressive that
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1925-07-24

the supreme court Of the United States
finally decided that jury trials in con-
tempt cases as provided in the Clayton
act were constitutional.
These few milestones along the
pathway from slavery to the present
time are merely given to show the
work labor has had and still has to
do.
The American Federation of Labor
does not believe in revolution. It be-
leves in evolution. 1t asks legsila-
tive bodies for nothing that it can
do for itself. It is non-partisan in
politics but partisan as to principle,
the principle Of equal rights and Free
dom.
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1925-07-24

The organization of the American
Federation of Labor was not for the
purpose of simply forming an organ
ization. It was organized under COM
pulsion for self-protection as the wage
earners realized that the betterment
Of their economic condition was ma
tional as well as a local issue. At
first because Of oppression and autoc-
racy in industry, which was then so
prevalent, individuals were compelled
to unite in local unions. Then as their
perspective became wider they saw
it was necessary to establish national
organizations Of their crafts. Then
