ditions in the rental Of space in apart
ment houses.
Stressing somewhat the Importance Of
income in the consideration of the sale
and exchange of apartments, Mr.. Luchs
stated that the valuations arrived at on
this basis are more nearly accurate
when the rentals received reflect normal
conditions rather than the higher level
when there is a shortage or a lower
level when there Is an overproduction
In analyzing the subject OF business
property dealing, Mr.. Luchs stated that
estates and certain types of investors
prefer high grade business properties
located in the city central downtown
business district even though frequently
they do not pay the same measure Of
return on the investment as some other
types OF properties. The special desire
for this type of investment property. Il
was pointed out, Is due primarily to the
enhancement In value based on the
yearly increment which Is in almost
direct ratio with the increase In the
city's population.
Large sites in the downtown section
have become very scare. and for that
reason are considered extremely vall-
able. Expansion of business and devel-
opment of major propositions create a
demand for such sites in keeping with
the trend Of the city's growth. Care
fully selected properties in the 100 per
cent retail shopping district, in the
opinion of Mr. Luchs, offer the highest
form Of investment with the most def
mite assurance Of permanency and in
crease In value, as business interests
ere highly centralized in such sections

FeatS Of drilling and cutting hard
substances that have heretofore re-
sisted such efforts are now easily ac-
complished by the use of carboly, COM
posed of tungsten carbide and cobalt.
the carbide being extremely hard and
the cobalt giving it the necessary
strength for cutting tools. Cobalt
chromium alloy cutters, which had
given the best previous service in cer-
tain kind Of work, required redressing
for every $50 parts machined; the new
tungsten carbide tools, operating under
identical conditions finished 1900
parts before they required sharpening.
Usual cutting tools will not AFFECT o
glass rod, instead, q rod of glass in a
lathe will wear OF the edge of a cut
ting tool that is pressed against 1t.
The tungsten carbide tool quickly cuts
into the glass and can even be used for
cutting a screw thread into the rod.
Likewise. hard porcelain insulators can
loe nachined on a shaper with the new
material. For drilling hole in con-
crete and rock it has been found SUI
perior to all the previous methods.

Mr.. Luch's opinion that they have ap-

primarily to the fact that the increase
Of population In the District has caught

in population during the past year with

WORKERS TO FILL
SQUARE FOR KUN
Workers Party Urges
Mass Attendance

Tomorrow at 1 p. m. in Union
Square thousands of New York work
ers will join with their fellow workers
throughout the world in demanding
the immediate and unconditional re-
lease of Bella Kun, Hungarian Com
munist leader, who is now held pris
oner by the Austrian government.
The arrest of Bella Kun and his
threatened extradition into the bloody
hands of the Horthy -Bethlen regime
of Hungary, where certain death
awaits him, has aroused tremendous
resentment among workers in every
part of the globe. Protest meetings
in various countries have thus far sue
ceeded in preventing the Austrian
government from turning over the
leader of the Hungarian workers to
the Hungarian fascists.
The meeting will be the largest Of
its kind since the Sacco-Vanzetti de-
monstrations in Union Square last
year. The New York section of the
International Labor Defense, under
whose auspices it is being held, has
distributed thousands of leaflets and
appealed thru numerous other chan
nels to the workers Of New York to
join in the movement to prevent the
murder of Bella Kun by attending the
mass demonstration in Union Square,
The release of Bella Kun will be de-
manded by many prominent leaders
of the working class, who will speak

STRIKE is A MASS
PROTEST AGAINST
SPEED-UP SYSTEM
Movement May Spread
to Standard Oil
Especial to The Daily Worker)

Especial to The Daily Workeg)
BAYONNE, N. j., May 17.-Over
$500 unorganized workers in the re-
fineries of the Tidewater Oil Co., at
Constable Hook, Bayonne, have gone
out on a spontaneous strike in pro-
test against the inhuman speed-up
and slave conditions imposed on the
oil workers by the Tidewater firm.
Prior to the strike, the workers were
all members of a company controlled
union. The strike is expected to
spread to the Standard Oil plants,
employing over 5000 men.
The strike was called at 430 p. m.
on Wednesday, when SIS still men in
Crude Still No. 1 walked out. The
strike was directly precipitated by
the action of the Tidewater firm in
discharging John Rooney, a veteran
pumpman, without hearing before
the Workers Council, composed of
twelve men representing the workers
and twelve representing The Tide
water. Over 500 workers joind the
strike on the midnight shift. Twelve
hundred workers who came to work
yesterday morning refused to report
when they were met at the gates
by strike committee and informed
of the strike decision. The only mer
at work yesterday were 200 salaried
employees.
Complaints that the Works Coun-
ell was nothing but blind for the
company's action in repeatedly re-
doubling the speed-up have been
made by the workers frequently.
Among the contributing causes to
the strike were the action of the
Tidewater in demoting old employees,
nearly eligible for pension, to jobs
for which greatly reduced wages
we're paid, thus enabling the company
to cut the pension and also the insti-
tuition of terrific speed-up by lay
ing off many thousands of workers,
forcing each of the remaining work
ers to do the work of two or more;
and the maintenance of a stool-pigeon
system.
