BUILDING TRADES
PRAISED BY LEADER
Radical Tendencies Almost
Unknown in Industry,
Wright Declares.

american building trades unions
probably are more nearly free from
the influence OF bolshevism and de-
structive philosophy than any other
section OF the labor movement"
writes Chester NJ. Wright, former
director of the Bureau of Public In
formation of the. American Fedora
ticn of Labor
Mr.. Wright. who is associate editor
of the International Labor News
Service. is one of the foremost
authorities on labor matters and has
made an extensive study of the COM
munist movement in the United
States. He is at the present time
English speaking secretary of the
Pan American, Federation of Labor
and public relations director for the
Bricklayers. Masons and Plasterers'
International Union
Splendid discipline within the
ranks and high wages are credited
by Mr.. Wright with being the main
reasons for the building trades
unanimity in rejecting communistic
propaganda and boring from with

Miller Builder and Economist:

American building trade unions
probably are more nearly free from
the influence of bolshevism and its
destructive. philosophy than any
other section of the labor movement.

ed clothes basket if possible. The
basket for the boudoir should be eX-
actly the reverse, and be as smart
and dainty as the other furnishings
of the room permit. The waste paper
basket for a mans den or study may
be of metal. which can be made orna-
mental by Stimulating bronze in tones,
or being smartly painted.
Baskets of Silk.
Scrap baskets of silk and satin are
among the de luxe models. Though
these are necessarily among the most
costly to buy on account of the hand
work put into the making, they are
a type that the home decorator can
make. Ii is well to remember that, for
the object of decoration alone. silk
scrap baskets lead. They can be
daintiness itself and objects of ele-
gance, whether done in rich tones or
delicate shades.
In Many Styles.
Wall baskets, whether of basketry
or not. are among the most attractive
from the point of view of decoration.
In them trailing green may fall in
graceful lines against the background
of the room or gay little flowers stand
in Stiff beauty. Serving baskets for
bread, rolls and other food may be of
finely woven strands of splint, of raf-
fla, of reed. etc. or they may be made
of china, silver or glass. The selec-
ton of them should not be without
careful consideration. for baskets
when put TO use as containers of food
must add decoration to tables or their
purpose is poorly served.
Painted Baskets.
An interesting method of making
baskets chime in with decorative
schemes is to have them painted to
go with the wallpaper, the design on
the hangings sor some motif that is
emphasized in the room. The home
decorator can transform simple and
uninteresting baskets that cost but a
trifie into smart models in This way.
A good design to use and one that
can be painted in the colors desired
to be accented in a room is the basket
pattern, which some of you already
have. If others would like it please
send q self-addressed and stamped en-
velope with a request, and it will be
sent free. Direct to Lydia lie Baron
Walker, in care of this paper.

Baskets, whether they are OF bas-
kerry or not. may add decided decora
tive elements to q room. The most
prominent of the baskets for the dou-
BILE purpose of decoration and utility
are scrap baskets. Another large kind
is the basket for soled clothes. Then
there are also smaller types, such as
work baskets, preferably covered ones.
for then only the ornamental elements
Of them are visible. And there is an
endless assortment of sandwich and
bread baskets. handkerchief and glove
Eases in basketry, flower and fruit
baskets, cake and candy baskets. etc,
and even knitting bags of basketry
may enter into decorative schemes.
The selection of Il scrap basket
merely is a matter of no little moment.
The size should he adequate for the
room in which it is to go, and the
color and style must NOT be over
looked. For example, the basket for Il
bathroom should lie small and severe
in type, and correspond with the soil
Evening star., 1926-03-27
Planning the Bathroom

Plan the bathroom in advance, not
at the last minute, and allow plenty
of space for the fixtures. which should
include tub, shower, pedestal or wall
hung lavatory and a low.down tank
combination. For the kitchen, choose
preferably a 36-inch high, modern one
piece sink complete with drainboard
and therefore easily cleaned.

THE president of the building

Outbreaks Are Fewer.
"While there have been sporadic
local outbreaks of communist propa-
ganda in building trades unions
these have been perhaps fewer than
in any other direction in the labor
movement.
Two main reasons contribute to
the freedom of the building trades
from the propaganda which has so
sorely plagued the ladies' garment
