With landscaping, a few trees
and shrubs the house will take
on additional personality, and
while it may not have the spacious
atmosphere of the dream house"
it is an attractive cottage that
any home owner could be proud
Of.
Simplicity and good proportion
rule in it's appearance. The house
Is intended for a narrow lot but
the simple gable relieves its plain
ness and presents a pleasing front
to the street. The tight cornices
and low slope of the roof indicate
o New England ancestry.
Foundation
Just what to expect with mini
mum building cost is a question
that comes up again and again
The foundations for the small
house must be made strong but
there is no point to concentrating
on a heavy concrete foundation
that would serve for a three or
four floor apartment. It is in ways
such as this that wise contractor
can decrease the cost without in
any way impairing the soundness
of the building. The house pic
tured uses hollow concrete block
walls.
The wood clapboards used on
the house give distinctive charm
to it that is distinctly American
It has a friendly air.
While the simple lines OF the
siding are adapted to the informal
treatments that are necessary for
this small home, it has the advan-
tage of being flexible so that
changes and improvements can be
made economically from time to
time. Electric wiring, telephone
and radio wiring can easily be
brought in from the outside with.
out expensive damage to the wall
spacing.
The original wood siding was a
rough laand-sawed variety that was
Tapped one on the other. The mod
ern level or lap siding is like this
original type and comes in 4, 5, 6, g.
10 and 12-inch widths. The 8-inch
and wider bevel siding is often
called the bungalow siding.
While this type is perfect for the

 Green, pounding his gavel, upheld t:.is protest and out of the melee came the short, determined figure of Genis, standing on the front row and waving for recognition.
 "Mr. Chairman" Genis cried "what do have to do to be recog- ni2ed2"

 Green In Fervent Plea
 Greens arms stretched to the ceiling and his voice shook as he uttered plea that was almost Q prayer.
 My friends" he shouted, T will sacrifice anything--there is nothing I will not do to prevent c split"
 Again he seized the microphone in his left hand and brandished his right fist over his head as he de- nounced the attitude of the Lewis group.
 "They refused to accept the ma jority rule of the 1o35 convention.
 "They made their choice. Why weren't they good sports if they wanted to be represented at this convenient Why didn't they accept the majority decision instead of trying to impose Q minority rule on the A. r. of L.7"

 The federation president brought the anti-LewB delegates to their feet roaring their applause as he concluded with Q fervent plea for unity and declared that "the door is still open; the hand of Fellowship Is stretched out to theSn."
 The president of the teachers federation arose to apologize that he had misunderstood the name of the union Morrison was calling.
 The roll call droned on and the hall was noisy again as Morris hurried through the end of the del- egation list.
 As he concluded and announced the result, Green slammed his gavel on the table and told the delegates to come back ct Il Q. m. for the next session.
 The convention had completed its action on the gravest split in labor's ranks In half c century, with the outlook for peace unity uncertain.

 whether the convention decision meant the formal beginning of Q split in labor,s ranks that would tear the 6e.year.old federation apart or whether 1t would inaugu. rate another unsuccessful rival union remained in doubt as . re- suit of the vote to confirm action Of the council in suspending the rebel unions.
 The Lewis group was left "hang- ing in the air." position less satis- factory to them than would have Been definite and complete expul- Nion. At the same time, the federa- 4ion was in the position of having the insurgents n the outside" and Af being able to take advantage of any developments in the future xither to make peace or to revoke Inc charters of the 0.

 Defense for Lewis
 X The CL.O. unions, charged with nreatinR dual unionism by seeking fo set up one big union in each industry as contrasted to the feder- ktion craft union policy, were de- tended by many but the delegates controlling the big blocs of votes Here prepared to confirm the coun- els suspension.

 Submarine Tactics
 "The council used submarine tac- ties. They resorted to economic treason to sabotage million work CTS out of the American Federa- ton of labor"
 Down in the front row, Q short, baldish delegate, sendor Genis of the Minneapolis Centray Labor union, rose as Lewis left the stage.
 "Mr. President" he cried. "Mr. President"
 Green turned to the other side of the hall and recognized Jonathan Eddy of the Newspaper guild for . brief statement in defense of the CIO.
 A dozen delegates leaped to their feet along the rows of pine-board tables as Eddy finished, but Genis was in the forefront waiving his hand for recognition.
 Green brandished lis gavel back and forth across the floor and final.. ly pointed to John P. Frey head of the ,Mteal Trades and most de- termined advocate of expulsion of the rebel unions. Frey Was Outspoken Tossing aside his cigar, Frey strolied to the microphone to charge in c deep rumbling voice that the C.I.O. leaders were "insincere" and that Lewis particularly was incon. sistent in advocating industrial unionism but refusing to submit to 1t when 1t threatened to take mem bers from his United Mine workers.
 "The C.I.O. leadership has re- sorted to coercion and force in its raids on local unions." Frey said.
 Jerome Davis, president of the Federation of Teachers, was recog- nized as Qenis clamored vainly for Greens attention. AS the tall grey" ing leader of the teachers arose, Qenis turned hopelessly toward the delegates on the floor, spread his nhIlCi5 WiuS huu uohSN' "taSv IVY have to do to be recognized"
