"HE English style two-story living
room, with exposed beam ceiling,
is the outstanding feature Of the
house design selected by the
Washington Chapter Of the
American Institute of Architects this
week for publication in The Star.
The dwelling illustrated today was
designed by A. F. Thelander, architect,
Of Clarendon. Va. and follows the plan
Of home designed by this architect
for Mr.. and Mrs. c. F. Rothery IN Con
Club Manors. Va. The house Is the
ninth in q series approved by the cnap-
ter for publication in The Star Tor the
benefit of its readers.
planned to suit a sloplng corner lot,
utilizing the lower side for the garage
entrance. thus permitting use Of the
entire rear yard for garden purposes,
the house Is strictly English In style,
and designed so that the main living
portions overlook the rear garden.
First Floor Features.
The first floor features, beside the
large studio living room, with its ex-
posed roof trusses and cypress-paneied
side walls, include combination den
and guest suite, which adds decidedly
to the living comforts OF the house,
according to the architect.
An open staircase with wrought Iron
balustrade is built in the corner OF
the living room and leads to balcony
which oVerlooks the living room and
also gives access to the second moor
hall The combination den and guest
room provides a room for family use
as a library, and may readily be con-
verted into sleeping room for guests.
The guest room is thus far removed
from the family sleeping quarters.
The dining room is reached from the
end Of the entrance hall, as well as
from the den through a small serving
vestibule. A group Of easement win
dowS opening onto the garden and
French doors leading to the rear porch
are additional features OF TINS room.
The kitchen, planned with an eye
to utility and convenience, Is reached
through a small inclosed sun porch,
which also may be used as flower
room or breakfast room, Mr.. Thelander
points out.
Second Floor Plan.
Two bed rooms and communicating
tile bath comprise the second floor plan.
The master bed room is in the rear Of
the house, with windows on the sides.
French doors open onto a balcony which
overlooks the rear garden.
The basement plan includes laun-
dry. lavatory and heater room In addi-
tion to the garage. Air conditioning
equipment and an oil burner also are
provided in the plan.
Exterior treatment in this case was
Of rough clinker brick, with stone trim
around the doorway. The woodwork
on the outside Is stained . weathered
green color.
The dwelling could be built in the
Washington area at current costs Of
labor and materials for between $10.-
900 and $4,000 in the opinion of the
architect.

REA[TOR |NDORSES
PRUDENT INITIATION
Says Currency Expansion,
With Mortgage Relief. Will
Restore Market.

Prudent imitation coupled with en-
actment of the pending mortgage bill
will at one stroke effectively check the
drift OF distress properties into the
market and at the same time attract
sufficient new capital into realty chan
nels to d1spel the paralysis which has
gripped it for more than three years
in the opinion of Herbert T. Shannon
president of Shannon & Luchs Co., real
tors.
The potential investor, in the light
of this weeks DEVELOPMENTS" saws Mr.,
shannon, lis beginning to regard his
long-idle liquid assets with a degree OF
uneasiness. He realizes that il the ad-
mlnistration succeeds in its purpose to
restore, through imitation, the COM
mcdities price index to the levels OBJ
tained in 1926, this will mean a cheap
ening OF the purchasing power of the
funos he has available for investment
Security Sought.
"The first concern of the investor, OF
course, Is security. Real estate values
have unquestionably hit bottom and
are due for a rebound Moreover. in
such investments security is combined
with assured maintenance of the pur-
chasing power of the dollar, and at
present price levels they offer a most
attractive assured return.
THE small investor remains stead
fast in his belief that only a rising
market warrants investment. Today
with imitation, promptly inaugurated
and prudently controlled, a rising mar
ket appears assured for the near future.
The real estate business is bound to
come in for its full share in this general
Improvement of conditions"
Sees No Rent Boost.
Mr.. Shannon anticipates no material
increase in rental levels In the i'm
mediate future.
Rents and wages are inextricably
Mixed" he says Until wages re-
bound, there can be no substantial in
crease in rents, and here, where so
high a percentage Of the population Is
attached to the. Federal pay roll, this
wage problem has decisive effect on
rental levels. Imitation, however, must
therefore restore the demand for real
estate, bringing gradually an increase
in rental rates."
Revision OF the District appropria-
tions bill is seen as another hopeful
factor in the real estate situation
"The increase recommended by the
Senate in the Federal contribution to
the Districts expenditures is in itself
of no great importance, but the action
brings new hope to the harassed tax
payers" says Mr. Shannon. Postpone
ment of next years million-dolla re-
payment of park and playground pur-
chase advances is likewise encourag-
ing. Such actions cannot materially
affect the Districts tax rate, but they
are helps in the necessary recasting OF
the city's real estate outlook"
Evening star., 1933-05-06

Inc aim OF the conference, as eX-'
planned by the National Association of
Real Estate Boards, which is taking an
active part in the planning of the meet
ing, is to bring out the notable advances
in home designing, construction meth
ods and lowering of home building costs
as these have been developed.
New Ideas Developed.
The conference will measure the pres
ent "pent-up" demand for modern
housing and will give some indication
OF the direction home building NAV be
expected to take when anticipated con-
struction in this direction is renewed.
1t Is pointed out that new ideas in home
building have been developing in draft
ing rooms and laboratories while actual
residential construction has been at
minimum. "
The National Association of Real Es-
tate Boards will participate in the con-
ference through Edward A. MacDougall
OF New York, chairman Of it's Housing
Committee, and Herbert U. Nelson. ex9
executive secretary of the national body.
The conference comes in the form Of
forerunner of the twentieth annual
convention of the national realtors

STEEL BOSSES KID
H PUBLIC WITH
FAKE WAGE NEWS

WASHINGTON-(FP)%us who
was the American Iron and Steel In
stitute trying to fool when it report
ed to NRA that steel companies "have
increased the average weekly wage
of steel workers? The statement was
passed on to the press by President
Roosevelt and Gen. Johnson with OBJ
vious citation, but an examination of
the institutes figures fails to con
firm its claim.
The institutes own figures show
that the average weekly wage of
| piece and tonnage workers before the
lNRA code was written in June was
S18.36. In September, after the code
had been in operation several weeks,
the average wage was $1S.15.
But that is only half the story. Ac-
cording to the U. S. labor depart
ment, retail prices went up 10 per
cent between June and September. In
other words, to maintain the June
wage level, the steel worker in Sep
TENDER should have received 5000 a
/ week.
Due to the increase in orders, the
steel industry was able to increase
the number of employees by % per
cent. Now hat production has fall
len to 38 per cent of capacity, it is
expected that later figures will show
a drop in jobs.
In its report, the steel institute
skips lightly by the Weirton, Am
bridge, Clarion and Buffalo strikes.
The institute informed Gen. johnson
that during this trial period of the
code, there have been few complaints,
either from members of the code or
from outside sources, alleging viola
lions of the labor provisions of the
CODE"
Nevertheless hardly any of the ma
jor steel corporations, such as U. S.
Steel, Jones & Laughlin or National
Steel recognizes either Of the nation
al unions, the A. F. of LIS Amalga-
mated Assn. or the left wing Steel
and Metal Workers Industrial Union.
Montana labor news., 1933-11-30

ference in the degree of labor organ
ization in the two divisions of the in
dustry is very great and very signifi-
cant. Nothing of this is recognized
in the code proposed.
Degrading Wage Rates.
"Some 80 per cent of the workers
in building construction are highly
skilled. Open construction, on the
other hand, relies very largely upon
unskilled or common labor. Building
construction workers take great pride
in their skill; they serve a long APP
premiership to acquire that skill.
"The proposed code ignores these
facts. 1t proposes a minimum wage
for unskilled workers, but fixes no
wage for skilled workers. This will
inevitably tend to degrade the wage
standards of the vast majority of
those skilled workers employed in
building construction. This is mani
testify unjust"
Emphasis was laid by Mr.. Green
on the lack of recognition of building
construction in the length of the work
week set up in the code. He said:
40 and 4S-Hour Week Condemned.
"a possible 4S-hour week is pro-
posed. This is entirely inapplicable
to building construction. The 40-hour
week has already been generally es-
tablished in this portion of the con
struction industry through collective
bargaining, and in a significant por-
ton of the industry an even shorter
week is in operation.
"The long work week proposed is Of
no value whatever in an industry in
which some 80 per cent of the workers
are unemployed, and have been unem-
ployed for the past three or four
years. This portion Of the industry
must have a shorter work week if re-
employment is to be achieved"
Hits Employers Dictatorship.
Mr.. Green also insisted that the EN-
ployers' dictatorship which the code
establishes for its administration is
especially reprehensible. He said:
81 have emphasized strongly the po-
sition of labor that no code must sci
up administrative machinery whereby
employers alone govern the operation
of the industry under the code, anc
| dictate to labor how collective bar.
gaining may be conducted and how the
agreements resulting from such bar.
gaining may be made applicable. This
is especially important in building con
struction. | repeat most emphatically
hat the successful operation of any
industry under a code is dependent
upon the active and daily cooperation
of labor"
In order to give labor an active
part in the administration of the code
Mr.. Green suggested the Organization
of a joint industrial relations board
for the industry, consisting of an equal
number of representatives of employ
ers and employees under the direction
of an impartial chairman. A number
Of industries have already organized
such boards, and provision for boards
of this nature have been made in some
codes already approved. Available ex-
perience in this connection assures us
that these boards represent the most
constructive agency for the advance
ment of the purposes of the act"

EASTERN
NOTES

NEW YORK-(FP)More than 5000
Paterson silk strikers are still out.
They had agreed to go back after the
National Labor Board had arbitrated
the strike but spread the picket lines
again when they heard that the silk
bosses were going to disregard the
National Labor Board decision.
ssa
The Paterson strike is in its 14th
week and strikers have set up a relief
bureau to see their families through
the winter if necessary. AT one time,
the strike had extended throughout
the east to include more than 10000
strikers but settlements were reached
in nearly every silk center except Pat
erson.
In an attempt to break the strike,
the bosses for the 'steenth time an
nounced that the plants would open.
And, for the 'steenth time, no plants
opened when mass picket lines were
prepared.
NfN
S%tratford, Conn, police arrested IL
of the LOG strikers at the Sikorsky
~airplane plant on a charge of "breach
of the peace" for yelling "Scab" at
strikebreakers. But, the strikers told
the police, after all, they were scabsl
*#a
The Sikorsky strikers, who are or
gained in the Aeronautical Workers
Union, A. F. of L., are out strong.
Company officials have refused to
negotiate.
The hosiery workers at the Merrill
hosiery plant at Hornell, N. Y, on
strike for 10 weeks, went back to work
with their demands for higher wages
and lower hours granted.
***
After a 6-week struggle, 450 Amer
lean Federation of Hosiery Workers
strikers at Pen Argyll, Pa, returned
with practical union recognition. An
important feature Of the contract is
the provision that strikers have the
right to reopen wage negotiations
every two months to adjust them to
the price levels prevailing.
*s&
Demanding union recognition and a
wage increase, 260 metal workers,
organized in the United Metal Work
ers Union, walked out of the John T.
Lewis Co. in Philadelphia. The
Lewis Co. is a subsidiary of the Natl.
Lead Co., the lead monopoly.
The strike of bakery drivers, or
gained in the teamsters' international
against the 10 plants of Dugan Bros,
large wholesale New York City ba-
kers was strengthened when two
other teamster unions refused to deli
yer vegetables or oil to the baking
plants.
The drivers were also joined in their
strike by inside bakery workers, in
Guiding wrappers and maintenance
men, organized in the Amalgamated
Food Workers.

When the Levor mill in the Glovers-
vile, N. Y, strike decided to resume
operations with scabs, 600 strikers
threw a 24-hour mass picket line a.
round the plant and kept both bosses
and scabs prisoners for 10 hours.

Still we forget loves sorrow in loves joy,
And cherish tears with smiles for loves dear sake;
Only in Heaven is bliss without alloy.
