BOARD UNDECIDED
ON APPEAL MOVE
Desire to Base Action on
Decision Rather Than
Injunction Seen.

Whether the Labor Relations Board
will appeal from Judge Merrill E.
Otis decision in Kansas City yeSter-
day, that the Wagner labor disputes
act is unconstitutional, is to be de-
termined this week.
Edwin S. Smith, a member of the
board, said he did not care to COM
ment further than to say Judge Otis
apparently diSregarded the funda-
mental principle on which the act is
baSed-that any interruption OF man.
ufacturing due to unfair labor prsc-
tices would interfere with interstate
commerce.
1t has been known in labor circles
here that the board wants to test the
acts constitutionality with a case
carried 10 the Circuit Court of APP
peals in the manner prescribed by
the act-an appeal from a board de-
cision.
Court Record Used.
In appeals from the board deci-
sions the boards record. including
testimony taken at its hearing, goes
before the court. In an appeal from
an injunction case in a district court
the courts record and not the boards
would be used. Before starting a
case the board makes an investiga-
ton Of labor practices at the plant
in question.
Two board decisions already are in
the circuit. The Fruehauf Trailer
Co. Of Detroit appealed from a
board order to stop alleged unfair
labor practices, while the board asked
the court to enforce a similar order
against the Pennsylvania Greyhound
Lines. Inc. a motor bus interest of
the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Adkins Refuses to Rule.
Justice Jesse C. Adkins of District
Supreme Court declined Friday to
rule on the acts constitutionality
when he refused 10 enjoin the board
from holding an election to determine
whether the United Textile Workers
represented a majority of the en-
ployes at the Gate City Cotton Mills
at East Point. Ga. He granted the
company a stay, however, pending an
appeal to the circuit court,
The company and Mrs Lola EcholS,
err cmploye. contepded the act would
abridge their freedom of contract and
was unconstitutional.
Employers generally have contend
ed the act was unconstitutional.
Their lawyers have said the Supreme
Court repeatedly had ruled that
manufacturing was not commerce,
and thus that Congress had no right
to attempt to regulate labor relations
In manufacturing
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor. said
he would not accept Judge Otis deci-
sion as final.

decision is based on sound principles.

Monument TO GET
STONE FOR HAWAII
Officials of Park Service
Call for Bids for Setting
Memorial.

A new memorial Stone-the first in
many years-will soon be placed in
the Washington Monument to honor
Hawaii.
Oficials of the National Park Serv-
ice have called for bids for setting the
stone. A ceremony of dedication will
be held next month or February, after
1t is in position.
The stone bears this inscription in
the language of Hawaii: "Ua mau ke
ca ka alma ka pono." This is
translated THE life of the land is
preserved in Righteousness" and these
words were spoken by King
Kamehameha after the British nag
had been hauled down in l843.
Coral Sandstone.
The Delegate from Hawaii, Samuel
Wilder King, a former United States
naval officer, is mainly responsible for
securing the new Hawaiian stone for
the Washington Monument. When he
came here he found that the Paradise
of the Pacific" as Hawaii is known,
was not represented. He took up the
question with the Legislature OF
Hawaii and secured the necessary
funds and authorization. Now the
stone has just reached Washington.
1t is of coral sandstone, typical Of
Hawaii.
Charles A. Peters, jr., assistant di-
rector of the National Park Service,
which has jurisdiction over the Wash
ington Monument, explained yesterday
that the policy is to permit installation
only Of stones representative of Terri
tories, States and foreign countries.
South Dakota and Arizona were
among the last State stones placed IN
the shaft here.

distinct streams of commerce, one end

the -four into which the wheat has
been manufactured is loaded on cars
for shipment to Iowa. The mill is at
the end of one of these streams and
at the beginning Of the other, but it
is a part Of neither. In every opin-

Ruled Against n. X. A.
Judge Otis has handed down two
other important decisions affecting
New Deal legislation.
In December, 1884 he ruled against
the price fixing clause in the N r. A.

Care Necessary
In Foundations
For New Homes

Building units vary greatly in
strength, as they are made BY
thousands OF manufacturers OF all
degrees Of competence. If they are
to be used for your foundation walls.
insist that they be made by some
manufacturer who has a reputation
for turning out good material. II
your wall is buried not more than
five feet below grade level, units
eight inches thick are all right, but
for walls deeper than that, 12-inch
units should be used.
The mortar should be q rich
cement mixture, and should be
spread carefully and evenly on all
bearing surfaces Of the units. and
the vertical joints between the units
should be completely filled. that Is.
unless there are two separate mortar
beds with a space between them. In
most localities, walls built Of con-
crete units are less expensive than
solid concrete walls.
Where unusual ground conditions
occur-for instance, II the house Is
built into the side OF a hin, or the
ground is not very solid-it is better
to use the poured walls.
Where these units, or brick or
stone. are used for foundation walls.
the mortar joints are the impor-
tant points to consider. A brick or
stone or cement unit wall is no
better than its joints. You should
be guided in selecting these by a
competent architect or contractor.
Blythe a. Stats of Brownsville and
Harrington is q firm which can give
you excellent advice along this line.
In stone walls. the filling Of all
the crevices with mortar takes es-
pecial care, on account OF the ir-
regularity OF the surfaces Of the
stone.
Brick walls should be II inches
thick below grade, and the stone
walls from Is 10 "a inches thick
depending upon whether the stones
have flat surfaces Oh are rounded.
stone and brick. where the walls
are exposed above grade, make a
pleasing appearance. particularly
with the older types Of architecture.
The walls of areas around cellar
windows and the sides Of outside
cellar stairs should be securely tied
to the main cellar wall In poured
concrete walls this can be done by
placing steel reinforcing rods In the
main walls at the time OF pouring
with their ends projecting. When
the area walls are built. these ex-
posed rods are imbedded in them
and tie them TO the foundations.
The same method can be used IN
walls built Of building units. or the
walls Of the areas can be built at
the same time as the main walls
and the units Of each bonded or
interlaced.
