THREATS
OF Builders Dissolve AS
Workers Stand Firm

Washington, D. C.-Threats of local
construction bosses to import build
ing trades workmen to take the
places of employees striking for in
creased wages appears to be the first
hurdle the employers have failed to
get over.
Instead of establishing schools to
train workmen, as they promised to
do, or to bring in non-union workmen
from other cities, the builders are ad-
vertising in local papers for workers,
while one large contractor and several
smaller ones have closed agreements
with local painters.
The Central Labor Union, as re-
suit of news stories to the effect that
local financial institutions will back
the builders to the extent of refusing
to lend money to construction firms
who grant increases, has sent letters
to all banks in the city asking the
extent of their participation in the
conspiracy. One bank-the Mt. Yer
non Savings, controlled by the Inter-
national Association of Machinists-
fatty denied any connection with the
employers combine. Others adopt an
evasive position, while the majority
have not yet had time to reply.
The purpose of the central body is
not only to verify the truth of the
claims of the Operative Builders Aso-
sociation, but to ascertain to what ex-
tent the inanciers are aligned with
employers of building labor, and what
steps the bankers are willing to adopt
in the effort to keep down wages. 1t
is believed to be the duty Of labor to
find out where banks stand, because
it is not good business to deposit
money with banks and then have
those institutions strangle organized
labor with its own money.

BETTER ILLUMINA-
TI0N
Is Urged as Step to Prevent
Eye Strain

BY International Labor News Service.
New York City.-Indifference to
lighting and failure to recognize con-
ditions which are harmful to the eye
are in large measure responsible
for eye troubles.
Poor illumination in home, school
and workshop has multiplied the evils
of defective vision so rapidly that
well tested measures to combat them
must be taken in home and school by
the householders and teachers of the
nation, according to the Eyesight
Conservation Council of America.
Simple rules do not appear to be
effective, it is declared, though the
lighting problems Of the home are
not difficult to solve, and sound plans
for every room are readily available.
