REFRIGERATOR
SALES RISE

Basing it's gas refrigerator sales

ton Of a much neglected house.
hold problem of paramount i'm
portance, the Washington Gas
Light Company has achieved it's
goal Of selling more Electrolux air.
cooled gas refrigerators from Sep
TENDER l until Christmas than
have ever been sold in a like pc
Rod of the company's history.
The company announces an in
crease in sales for the period of
more than 800 per cent over last
year, with November showing over
400 per cent increase over the
same month of 1882.
The keynote of the campaign
was the need Of proper refrigera-
ton Of the household food sup
ply in winter. In the past, women
have not associated winter with
the need of food protection. This
is a fallacy, however, for the
kitchen in which food is stored
is part of the living quarters of
the home, and as such IS kept at
a temperature of about 70 de-
greeS. It is always summer in the
kitchen, and food will spoil if kept
unprotected very long at this tenn
perature. Even food storage in
cellars is not satisfactory, for such
rooms, often unSanitary, rarely
have temperature as low as so
degrees.

RenOUating NOw Advised
To Assure LOW-COst Job

Property owners who act i'm
mediately may still avail them
selves of low-cost removizing and
upkeep painting before labor costs
soar upward under the code Of
fair competition for the building
and construction industry.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics,
Department of Labor, attributes a
current rise in the cost of building
materials generally to slight ad-
vances in prices of paints and
painting material, following the
passage of the code for the paint,
varnish and lacquer industries No
vember Is.
The wage provisions Of the code
for the painting, paperhanging

MANY FEATURES

OFFICES
Location Away From, Noise
and Confusion Is Now
Desirable

When Washington was young,
The first thought of an office
building would visualize a site in
the congested district, so that
gradually these busy locations
soon vanished. Little or no room
remained for more structures Of
such a character.
This problem was no problem at
all, however to builders of the
Carpenters Building. They rea-
soned that a few yards out of the
way would prove an advantage.
rather than a disadvantage, and
time has proven them correct.
This building, although out of the
zone of noise and confusion, is
within walking distance of every
contact business man needs to
make.
Tenants of the Carpenters
Building are enthusiastic about
the reasonable rentals, the light
and air of their offices, and the
splendid service always available.
The parking bugapoo, so annoy
ing elsewhere, is not in evidence,
either, as the location at Tenth
and K Streets offers many choice
spots throughout the day and
evening when cars may be parked
safely, and without anticipating
q ticket.

Collective Bargaining Denial
at EdgeWater Called
NRA Challenge
By International News Service

Organized labor's fight against
the Ford Motor Company flared
up again today with an announce
ment by william Green, president
of the American Federation Of
Labor, that he had filed a brief
with the Recovery Administration
charging the Ford Company with
refusing to permit employees at its
Edgewater, N. j. plant to engage
in collective bargaining.
Violation Charged
Green charged the Ford Com
pany violated section IA of the
National Recovery Act both be-
fore and during September %,
the day on which a strike took
place at the Edgewater plant. He
added:
"NOt only has the manage
ment of the Ford Motor Com
pany refused to bargain col
lectively with its employees at
Edgewater, as required by law,
but in addition it has stated
AVE- CAARAVJVD WIN SwVPPCU "VAA
for the purpose Of redresSing
griev0uS wrongs are no longer
considered employees Of the COM
pany.
"This attitude of the Ford
Motor Company constitutes a
challenge to the Government.
Either the Government is SUI
preme or the Ford Motor Com
pany is outside the pale of
the law, and subject to its own
corporate rules and procedure.
It is incOnceivabIe that the
Government would surrender
to the Ford Motor Company or
to any other corporation"
Boycott VisiOned
Threatening a general boycott
of Ford by organized labor, Green
said the A. F. of L. might sup
plement Government action by
advising its members not to buy
Ford cars until the company
changes it's present. attitude.

Amid wailing, patriotic ex-

fear that was growing in her
