HOPE WAVES
FOR BLOCKING
STEEL STRIKE
Only Emergency Action by
Roosevelt or Congress
Can Help.
GLOOM COVERS CAPITAL
General Johnson May Make
Final Appeal Thursday
to Unions.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, June 11.-Threat
of a Gripping and probably bloody
steel strike grew so strong today that
only emergency action was believed
capable of preventing it.
Three final steps were under con-
sideration. President Roosevelt
might make an appeal to aroused
labor. Congress might rush through
special legislation. Or General
Hugh S. Johnson could attempt a
personal appearance before union
lists who meet Thursday to decide
definitely whether to walk out Sat-
urday night.
Officials made no attempt to con-
ceal. their gloom over the situation.
The angry withdrawal from Wash
ington of militant rank and file
leaders of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation Of Iron, Steel and Tin Work
ers left negotiations here at stand
still.
u
These leaders rejected a proposal
sumbitted by General Johnson for
an arbitration board. The plan had
been accepted by the Iron and Steel
Institute but the union heads char
acterized it as a trap" to tighten
the company union chains that bind
workers in the steel industry"
The principal hope for averting
the strike seemed to lie in action by
President Roosevelt or congress.
Under consideration is a proposal to
substitute for the Wagner labor dis
putes bill a second measure dealing
directly with the steel crisis.
This would be a bill setting up
a form of arbitration similar to that
provided in the railway mediation
act. This action would follow the
general lines of the arbitration pro-
posal Of General Johnson which the
steel workers rejected. 1t is in line
with the mediation arrangements
in the automobile and cotton tex
tile industries. sszas~-4---.---e
Wagner Report Cheerful
With the steel picture growing
darker, Chairman Robert F. Wag-
her of the national labor board pre-
scented a brighter outlook of ma
tional labor conditions.
He said the national and regional
boards had handled 3,755 cases to
June /, involving 100000 workers.
All but 100000 workers, he said,
have been returned to work or kept
at work or had their disputes adj
justed.
Forbeek More Forceful
Mr.. Tighe insisted there was no
split within his union as he laid
final plans for the convention.
Nevertheless, a belief persisted
that the fate of the strike lay sole
" on whether the majority of the
200 delegates saw eye-to-eye with
him or with Mr.. Forbeck.
Mr.. Forbeck, younger, sees in the
NRA's section lathe collective bar
gaining clause-Amalgamateds one
big chance for dominance in the in
dustry.
The unions recognition ultimatum
expired yesterday with not a single
favorable answer received. Unless
Tighe's diplomacy can find way tc
avoid a strike and still save the
unions face, or unless marked con-
cessions come from the mill owners
2 strike aDpears certain.

C0L0R-FAST CONCRETE
ADDS TO HOME BEAUTY
Tested Product May Now Be
Used for Walks, Drives,
Porches or Terraces.

Concrete, once drab and uninter-
esting, has borrowed colors from the
rainbow to become an important fac
tor in the beauty of the home.
Dependable, color-fast concrete in
a variety of shades have been de-
veloped as the result of testing and
experimenting. Patterns may even
be applied by laying cut-to-order ce-
ment flagstone, colored or uncolored,
in various ways, or by painting the
design of ordinary concrete.
Walks and drives, which form an
inseparable part of the home grounds,
can make or break the effectiveness of
the lawn. With colored concrete now
readily available and easy to use,
grounds can be made a harmonious
setting for the home if little thought
is given beforehand to the landscap-
ing plan and color scheme.
In addition to walks and drives,
colored concrete makes distinctive and
serviceable foundations, porch floors.

Permits for repair work to homes

during August exceeded those issued
for the same month last year by a
greater percentage than those OF any
major city in the country, figures re-
leased today by the Federal Housing
Administration disclosed.
During the month the figures show
290 repair project permits were Is

pared with 22l projects, valued at
S143. 766 in August, 1888. This shows
a gain of almost 200 per cent in value
and approximately 81 per cent in the
number of projects.
Greater Value Involved.
While the value of permits issued
in Cleveland last month exceeded
those for August, 1888, by slightly
more than 200 per cent, the number
of projects represented was less than
the year before.
The F. H. A. figures were compiled
for the Nations 25 leading cities and
show an increase of more than ST.
600. 900 in repairs during August over
the same month in 1888. along with
a lump of around 1000 projects.
In August last year, 8,495 repair
permits were issued in the 25 cities,
valued at SIS, 5,723,059. Last month the
number of permits was 9,3l5, and the
value of proposed Improvements, ST.
769,451.
Small Losses in Nine Cities.
Only of the 25 cities showed small
losses, but the gains shown by the
rest were relatively much larger,
though none were so large as Wash
ington's.
The F. H. A., in releasing the fig
ureS, said:
Additions, alterations and repairs,
the types of construction being en-
phasized in the better housing pro-
gram of F. H. A, showed a decided
upward trend in August as compared
with the same month last year, ac-
cording to official reports made by
building inspectors of 745 cities to
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, De-
partment of Labor
THE increase in the number of
projects was 93 per cent, every Sec
ton of the country running ahead
of last year. The increase in value
was ia per cent, but was not evenly
distributed, ranging from a gain of
949 per cent in the South Atlantic
States to a decrease of 1875 per cent in
the Mountain States.
Greater Gain Percentage.
Large cities showed a greater per-
centage of gain than the country as
a whole. In the Is largest popula-
ton centers of the country the gain
in the number of these projects was
10.1 per cent, while the increase in
value was 1873 per cent. Washington,
Cleveland, New York, Baltimore, San
Francisco and Indianapolis were the
cities showing the greatest gains.
"InaSmuch as the better housing
program did not get under way until
around the middle of August, officials
of the Federal Housing Administra-
tion advanced the opinion that the
reports for September would begin
to give more accurate picture of
just what the present effort is de-
veloping in actual accomplishment"

PROPERTY VALUE
INCREASE IS SEEN
Lewis T. Breuninger Be-
IieveS Present Prices Will
Not Long Remain.

A warning to the public to take
advantage of the present low real
estate market prices for favorable
investments or home purchases was
issued today by Lewis T. Breuninger,
Capital realtor, who said that he
expected a large increase in prop
erty values here within short time.
The statement of Breuninger fol-
lows:
1T has been a well-known fact in
economic circles that real estate is
always slower in recovering from a
depression than other lines of
business. This latenesS in the re-
covery of real estate has been popu-
larly called the "lag." This lag" in
the recovery usually is from six to
nine months behind recovery of other
commodities. While real estate has
recovered somewhat from its very
lowest point of the depression, it is
still considerably back of the progress
made in many other lines.
Changes Predicted.
But real estate will not long re-
main in its present position. 1t will
undoubtedly increase in value in the
very near future. 1t is only because
of this lag" that it has not already
done so. However, there is one great
advantage in this so-called flag. "
namely, the opportunity it affords
those who want to wisely invest their
funds to buy real estate at low levels.
This opportunity exists today, but as
is often the case, it is being taken
advantage Of by only few-those
who are wise enough to know that
real estate is an excellent purchase
now. These are generally persons
who know market conditions thor
oughly. The general public, as rule,
does not come into the real estate
market until it has gone up consid-
erably. Is there any reason for them
to stay out? Certainly there is no
legitimate reason why every one
should not have the advantage Of this
information and should be permitted,
if they so desire, to buy property
while it is still low in value when
compared to other commodities.
Money Beginning to Flow.
"It is true that the inability to
finance real estate transactions in the
past two years has been large de-
terrent factor, but this condition is
rapidly being changed, for money is
beginning to flow into real estate
channels. The very fact, however,
that money is coming into real estate
channels undoubtedly means that be-
fore long real estate will 60 up in
price"
