Z BUILDERS HIT.
BY LABOR At
j. 8. HEARING
John B. CoIpoys, Labor Union
Delegate, Voices Opposition
to Giving Either Firm Work

Scorching denunciation of the
w. B. Rose Construction Com
pany and the Virginia Engineer
ing Company as deStroyers Of
wage and living standards fea-
tured hearing before a special
committee appointed by Secre-
tary of the Interior Wilbur to
consider bids for erection of a
new tubercular building at St.
Elizabeth's Hospital.
John B. Colpoys, delegate Of
the Central Labor Union. acted
as spokesman for a large group
representing practically every
labor and building organization
in the District. The organiza-
tions unanimously oppose award
for the building to either the
Rose or the Virginia company.
Below Wage Scales
The Rose Company is North
Carolina firm, which brings non
union labor from that State; the
Virginia Engineering Company
is a Newport News firm, which
also uses only nOn-uniOn labor,
the committee was told.
Both pay from 40 to so per
cent below the union wage scale,
the protesting committee charged.
Mr.. Colpoys charged that award
of the contract to either of the
firms opposed would put the Gov
ernment in the position of being
itself destroyer of wage scales.
Rejection of the Rose and Vir-
ginia Engineering Companies bids
was urged on the ground that
the firms are allegedly irreSpOnSi-
BILE and incompetent.
Two Under Bond
That two officials of the Rose
company are under $1,000 bond
each on technical charges of man.
slaughter growing out of the col
lapse of a scaffold at Stuart
Junior High School, the second
crash within a few weeks, was
cited as tending to show ire
sponSibility.
Attention was called to the spe.
cial committee hearing the argu-
ments that Major H. L. Robb, AS
sistant Engineer Commissioner
declared he believed skimping on
the project was instigated by
Rose.

Meanwhile, Frank Martel, presi

benefit hotels and restaurants
He stated:
Organization of walters and
cooks in places where beer is
sold is to the interest of hotel
and restaurant prOprietOrS.
Blind pig operators are trying
to get walters to work for
nothing and depend solely on
tips. Hotels and restaurants
cannot compete with such con-
ditiopS."

from the West Coast and has
destroyed the Atlantic Fleet.
1t is now the work of the air
corps to beat off the invaders.
Later the great aerial armada

attack the cities they are now
rushing to defend.

Women are joining In the movement
urging the labelling Of all the people Of
England, which was started recently.
They believe that the plan would be Of
particular value as q protection to them
It Is thought that it would help wives
In identifying deserting husbands and In
preventing bigamy, for the identity Of
both persons would have to be proved
before marriage. If the plan of carry
ing Identification cards or disks, such
as are used in Japan, Is adopted. the
record of the marriage would be made
on the document. Another plan pre-
sented is the thumb-printing of every
one. The labelling idea is expected to
give additional protection to men as to

 Young men unsteady; girls live ly and in demand; papas, firm, but declining; mamas, unsettled, wait ing for higher bids; coffee, consid- erably mixed; fresh fish, active and slippery; eggs, quiet, but expected to open soCn; whisky, still going down; onions, strong; yeast, rising; bread stuffs, heavy; boots and shoes, those on the market are soled and constantly going up and down; caps and hats. not so high as last year, excepting foolscap. which is stationery; tobacco, very low and has a downward tendency; silver, close, but not close enough to get held of"

and what does that vast Territory hold in the way Of present and fu- ture promise? To the pioneer, whether he is engaged only in clear ing his own little homestead or is directing the destinies of a large industrial enterprise, this State in the making holds promise of either success or isappointment, depend ent upon his ability to grasp and utilize it's offerings. For the fit who, through experience or readi- ness for effort, are willing to cope with and surmount difficulties, this northern land holds out an alluring invitation and a welcome.
 Within its far-flung borde. 5 Alaska presents so wide a diversity of physical features, climate, and industries as to appeal to almost every taste. Here, the densely forested mountainous areas of south eastern Alaska, with it's multitude Of deep-water fiords, challenge the enterprising to undertake the de- velopment of mines, fisheries, timber resources, and water powers There, in central Alaska, is a region of broad alluYial valleys carved in .oId mountain-built mineralized rocks and trayersed by rivers which form the main avenues of travel, that invites settlement by home builders, agriculturists, miners, and trappers. Again, the fastnesses Of the Alaska Range and other noun tain groups possess magnific eh , scenery, wild animals, and mineral deposits that beckon the miner, traveller, or other lovers of nature to revel in their bounty.
 But Alaska's appeal does not consist only in it's undeveloped re- sources. In it are homes with equipment and charm comparable to those in any similar communities ln the States, towns with all the modern facilities to supply the diverse requirements of people who need and appreciate not only ma terial but intellectual enjoyment, and industries that are pouring out each year needed products worth scores of millions of dollars. Even in some Of the remote parts of the country existing means of com fortable transportation by boat, railroad, and airplane or of com munication by mail, telegraph, or radio annihilate the desolateness Of isolation and bring the comforts of civilization to the residents.

HILLS BROS' METHOD OF ROASTING COFFEE ALWAYS ACCURATE
Patented, Exclusive Process Controlled Roasting-Creates Marvellous, Unvarying Flavor

Just as the accuracy of bewhisk- cred Father Times hour-glass de- bends upon an even, continuous flow :. a little at time so the matchless, unvarying flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by Controlled Roasting - Hills Bros patented process that roasts evenly, continuously i. q little at time.
 This continuous process has ad- vantages over ordinary roasting methods. It guarantees a perfect roast for every berry in the blend. Bulk-roasting doesn't insure such a thing. Sometimes the coffee is roasted right. But frequently, it may be underdone or overdone, with an unpleasant flavor resulting.
 That can't happen to Hills Bros. Coffee Every pound is developed to perfection - to the fullest and finest flavor. It is a flavor no other coffee has, because no other is roasted the same way.
 Vacuum cans keep Hills Bros. Coffee ever-fresh. Air, which de- stroys the flavor of coffee, is re- moved and kept out of these cans. Even ordinary, "air-tight" cans won't keep coffee fresh. Order Hills Bros. Coffee today. Ask for it by name, and look for the Arab trade mark on the can.
