A new type of concrete, product
of burnt shale, may mean the build
ing of towering skyscrapers, dwarf
ing even the soaring buildings of
New York, some of whose towers are
1000 feet high. Structures of 100
stories or more may result.
The new building material, which
was discussed before the annual meet

Testing Materials in a paper by f.
E. Richert and V. P. Jensen, research
experts of the faculty of the Uni

sequently, they pointed out, in a
building of given size the weight Of
concrete being less, the strength and
dimensions of the steel structure de-
signed to support it can be materially
reduced, resulting in an enormous
proportional saving of net weight and
decrease in foundation load

ANTHRACITE PEACE
MEANS MUCH

That five and one-half years
agreement between anthracite miners
and operators will be nationwide in
its effect.
First, it means long peace to an
important unit of the United Mine
Workers, and will permit that organ
ization to devote its energies in the
bituminous industry that is in a de-
moralized condition following the
operators repudiation of the Jack
sonville agreement
Every prophecy made by union
officials regarding conditions in the
bituminous fields has been verified.
Operators, in their effort to cut
costs, slashed wages below the sub
sistence point. Coal communities have
been destroyed because of this low

Operators acknowledge their mis-
take and government officials are
discussing pleas to them by miners to
call conference of the interested
parties in the hope that new poll
cies will replace cut-throat competi-
tion that has brought destitution and
ruin.
With peace assured in the anthra-
cite region, President Lewis and his
associates can devote every effort,
without distraction, to developing a
spirit of cooperation in the bitumi-
nous fields that is now so marked in
anthracite

By enlarging the definition of prop
erty, the equity court places no limit
on his power.
If workers efuse to patronize an
unfair employer, this is an attack on
property" because equity has ruled
that patronage is property"
Free speech, free prose and every

LAW AND EQUITY NOT
THE SAME

Trade unionists should keep in
mind the difference between equity
and law when they agitate against
the labor injunction.
Unionists should not be trapped by
judicial jargon, that classes a court
order as the law of the land"
A law court is guided by statutes,
by the constitution, by rules and pre-
cedents that must be adhered to or
the court will be overruled on appeal.
The same law court judge, when
he announces that he is sitting as a
court of equity, is not restricted by
law or constitution. His conscience is
his only guide.

WATCH THOSE "CREEPING"
WAGE CUTS

Billions Of dollars that are invested
in installment buying precludes popu-
lar approval of nationwide reduc-
tion movement.
The strategy of low-wage advo-
Gates is to profess faith in high
wages, while quietly enforcing what
it soothingly called "wage readiust-
ments."
Former business depressions were
blamed on high" wages, and wage
cuts were urged by economists and
business men.
This policy has been discarded. In
dustrialists are now expected to give
lip service to the high wage prin-
ciple, while they quietly "readjust"
wages. This "readjustment," of
course, is downward.
The Magazine of Wall Street is an
exception to the rule. That financial
publication frankly declares:
I'VE hate to mention it, but it may
be that one way to increase work and
labor income and restore prosperity
is for organized labor to take a lower
rate of pay"
The policy of creeping" wage cuts
is slyly advocated by the Wall Street
Journal, which drops this hint to
manufacturers:
Cost of living is down consider
ably from last year, and a 10 per cent
reduction in wages is not SO drastic
as one might think"
Trade unionists should be alert to
the new plan to reach an old objective.
Living costs are not "down consid-
erably." They have dropped but
three per cent-three cents on every
dollar the workers spend to maintain
life. Yet these workers are asked to
accept a cut of ten cents on every
dollar. they receive as wages.
Workers should not be lulled by
the creeping" wage-cut policy. A

That hit workers and contractors in

that Kind of business. Soon it will
not be possible to victimize workers
that way.
There can be no such thing as a
non-union contractor in any part OF
the country unless he can get non
union men to work for the miserable
wage he usually offers.

ISN'T THIS A FAIR QUESTION

tor makers have not done this. Isn't

quick return of normal conditions
should buy an automobile or anything
else made under Concealed pay

/" Where with our
Tree Li,tl. H.,s.:,
we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes hippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

All across the country temperatures
ragged high and wild this past week.
Men and women died because they
could find neither coolness nor rest.
In spots relief came, but for most
folks in most places-barring those
delightful mountain and shore resorts
where most folks don't live-it was
just plain furnace heat.
Heat poured up off the pavements
and out of the skies in Arizona and
Texas, it blistered across Kansas and
Missouri, it made Chicago a swelter-
ing pool of struggle and treated New
York almost as badly.
Over the Southern States a blanket
of heat and humidity was laid down
through which humanity weltered and
almost mired.
Through it all work went on-wage
earners went to their places and did
their daily work. Those who had no
jobs would have been glad to have
jobs-glad to stew and sweat and
swear for the weeks wage on a sticky
Saturday afternoon.
One other thing went on as usual
the work of organizing the unorgan-
lied.
One of the marvels of the decade
is the steam and speed and life of
this great organizing campaign.
There are not as many organizers
as there were on the job, but the
stream of new members keeps COM
ing. It's amazing. Not the least
surprised are the employers.
The life force that is in trade un-
ionism doesn't fluctuate with the ther-
mometer. 1t grows stronger, day by
day, week by week.
Recently-in the midst of the hot
test weather-one state announced
that its union membership had
doubled
South Carolina is the first state to
meet the American Federation of
Labor's Double Membership" slogan.
And in midsummer!
AS the South grows stronger the
whole country grows stronger.
Not long ago bids for a government
construction contract was opened
The seven lowest bidders were non-
union contractors from the South.

to workers as the old-fashioned wage
reduction. Both have the same re-
sult-lessened purchasing power and
an extension of the present industrial
let-down.
The billions of dollars that are in
vested in goods bought on credit
makes it improbable that retail busi-
ness men will favor a general wage
reduction.
This can be silently accomplished,
however, by the creeping" policy of
wage adjustments" while loudly
protesting faith in "high" wages
as an academic proposition.
Trade unionists should understand
the new system that is less theatrical
than the old method of lowering
wages.

pluses at the next harvest is bar
ried to this plan.
Alexander Legge, chairman federal

of the farm act. He denounces pol

and declared that "stabilization will
work admirably on seasonal surpluses,
but it cannot be made to work on
permanent cumulative surpluses."
