the weekly labor press to supply the
place Of the daily press. They are
convinced. however. that well edited
labor papers are the best media for
disseminating news OF purely class
interest
Unless one accepts the assertion OF
radicals that the daily press is venal
and dominated by antilabor influences,
there is no reason to believe that labor
cannot get a square dear by dealing
openly and frankly with the public
through the columns of general news
papers, these leaders say.
1T seems strange" famous news
paper editor once remarked to the
writer, that you trade unionists, who
are always complaining that our judi
cial system needs some revision to ac-
commodate labor organization develop
ment, should constantly neglect a
court that means more to social move
ments than any other. l mean the
court Of public opinion.
1T is difficult to obtain news from
labor unions, even when controversies
are raging. Many leaders are secre-
tive, and some others are consistently
hostile toward the press. You know
you can't win a case in any court un-
less you submit the evidence. / should
think unions would make a genuine
effort to acquaint the public with
their purposes. Otherwise what else
can they expect but distrust?'
It Is apparent that the general trend
Of opinion among leading labor Off
Gals is strongly in favor of conceding
the public's right to knowledge of
union activities.

C.. Nj. P. Office Structure

Approximately S200,0 900 is added to
the building total for the year through
the erection of a fine new office build
ing for the Central Maine Power Com
pany. This structure is now well un-
der way and the contract calls for it's
completion by June, 1927
The Central Maine Power Company
has long felt the need of more com
modious quarters and with the talk
ing over of the interests of the COM
pany by the New England Public
Service Company and the proposed
transfer of several departments to
this city this became of paramount
importance. The Bradbury property
at the corner of Green and Bradbury
streets was accordingly purchased. the
Bradbury homestead RACED and the
work of constructing this new Office
building was begun.
The new building will be three
story office building. built OF brick
and designed more along the lines of
college building than of the standard
office building. It will thus be in
absolute harmony with it's surround
ings and from its ideal situation will
command one of the finest views along
the Kennebec. Ample thought has
been given to the lighting problem
with the result that the building Will
be well lighted and ventilated through
large number of windows
The construction work is under the
direction of the Morton C. futile
Company, which is also handling the
gigantic power project of the COM
pany at Gulf Island in the Androscog-
gin river above Lewiston.

pleted early this summer The nine
apartment building compares most
favorably with any building of a
similar nature in larger cities. hav-
ing up to the minute features
throughout.
Service and convenience were the
principles kept in mind in planning
and constructing this house. The
exterior is of the substantial Colonial
style and the house is so located that
every room of every apartment OBJ
tains outside light and ventilation.
1t is a three story structure and the
floor plans are the same throughout,
providing three apartments of two
rooms, bath and kitchenette on each
floor. There the three southern eX-
posure suites. three on the north
ern side of the house and three on
the west.
The front vestibule contains the
mail box and communication system
for all of the nine apartments. This
is the famous Couch system which
permits the apartment dwellerS to
answer their ring by means of an in
accommodating telephone system
from their own suite and to open
the door by electric control without
the necessity of answering it in per-
son.
Within the house all woodwork Is
of North Carolina hard pine in natural
finish, and all floors are hardwood. The
lighting system, both in the service
corridors and in the apartments is am
pie and the fixtures of beautiful Flor
entine design and finish
The suites consist of a combination
living and dining room, a cross VEN
tilated chamber, spacious kitchenette
and standard bath. The kitchenettes
are fitted with built-in china closets,
"Favorite" gas ranges, white porce-
lain lavatory sinks, and the most
modern Sevel electric refrigerators.
In the service Railways on each
floor are installed metal traps for
the disposal of waste, garbage and
rubbish. The refuse is thus conveyed
to an incinerator in the basement.
where 1t is burned. The electric lights
in the service Railways are a part of
the house service as is the furnish

heating which is by the Hoffman

this matter and to report.
