SPIRIT OF LABOR
 DECLARED SOUND
Radical Changes May De- velop, But Industry Will
 Benefit z, Z

Three hundred members and guests of the Industrial Foremen's Club heard Professor Ordway Tead of Columbia University predict a radical change in labor conditions which will spread throughout the country, in an address at the Gen. tral YMCA last night.
 William l.. .Caligan, president of the club, presided at the meeting which was preceded by a dinner.
 Since 1917, Professor Tead said, company unions have been widely organized in an effort to improve relations between employers and employees, with excellent results.
 The speaker said, however, that the company union Is nlimited i scope and is not the equal of a cor poration in bargaining power. For that reason, the corporation is al- ways the winner in contests be- tween the two.
 Professor Tead expressed the opinion that employers would have to be less severe in dealing with their help in the future. A new angle has been created in the bus the MIRA, and employers will have to 'leave the chip off their shoul- ders hereafter" according to Pro lessor Tead.
 The new spirit in labor is mo- thing to be alarmed att, he said. Tt is a sound tendancy and will ultimately benefit industry"

pleased with the way that construc- ton firms followed the designs which he made for the building. Promises Help
 When the interior lights, in the lobby and offices of the building are completed, Major Totten believes that the structure, both inside and out, will be one of surpassing beauty. He had not known till this morning that interior fixtures were never installed and promised Post master James T. Kelley that he would do his best at Washington to see that steps for their immediate installation were taken. The lights were contracted for more than a year ago by 8 Baltimore firm which has since failed and new bids have been asked by the treasury depart ment.
 The ceiling of the lobby, accord ing to Major Totten, will most probably be painted a pastel shade though he said this morning that the present white finish is attrac- tive. The interior painting is now being done under governmet con- tract.
 Major Totten revealed this morn- ing that the panels on the outside of the building, were executed by his wife, whom he married when she was Swedish artist here for an exhibition 12 years ago.
 Wife's Initials on Panels
 Outside the building, Major Tot. ten pointed out to interviewing re. porters his wife's initials in the panels-so small as to be almost in- distinguishable. The panels almost invariably, excite words of praise from persons who have not seen the post office before.
 Major Totten was long associated as a designing architect with the treasury department, then went in- to business for himself. While com pleting designs for the local build ing he was also engaged to design the huge new post office at New ark, N. J.
 The echoes in the post office lobby which have confused many Waterburians are explained by Ma jor Totten as the result of the dome type of structure.

|$l,OOO DAMAGES
 SOUGHT BY GIRL
Mary Rinkus Sues George SaGslla in Assault and
 Battery Action

Damages of $l,000 are asked in an assault and battery suit filed in the common, pleas court today by Mary Rinkus against George Sad- ula. The plaintiff claims she was struck and knocked down by the defendant and that as a result she suffered bruises and hurts in addi- tion to deep humiliation. The as- sault is lleged to have occurred oct 10, 1894.
 The suit is an aftermath of a city court appearance in which Mary was the complaining witness and George ordered to pay a fine.
 In her story in city court Mary said she was attending dance in Brooklyn on the night in question when George appeared.
 It seemed that she and George would make a good match in Georges way of thinking and that he several times attempted to have her so believe. On this par ticular night she was in the conn pany of another suitor and when George appeared, asking for her company in a dance, she declined.
 George enraged at her refusal to dance so he came up with a right jab to the chin and duplicated the jabbing to her escort. This jab to the chin is worth $1,000 to her, Mary now asserts in the suit filed today by her counsel, Attorney A. Henry Weisman.
