Tho attraction will Do continued for the remainder of the week, being spon- sored for the building fund for the community hall at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel church.

These swimming acts are offered with the compliments Of the management and sponsorers and have proven to be immensely popular.
 Last night the high dive of Cap tain LaValley was executed with amazing skill since headwinds had arisen only Q few moments before he was to mountthe ladder rising to his perch. The peak of the plat- form could plainly be seen wavering as he set flame to his costume.
 Besides the diving exhibition the midway Is crowded with other amusements where patrons may at- tend Q complete one-ring circus, Midget show, athletic contests, side show, reptile show, and the motor drome where daring riders of ex- treme courage provide many thrills when at great risk they climb . wall of death. A merry-go-round, whip, plane ride, and ferris wheel are also among the popular fea- lures. Various concessions and re- freshment stands serve to attract more attention.

I dences of identical steel bids, which the gtecl-makcrs insist Te- suit naturaly from fixed elements in tho costs.
 In any case, even if there were collision in such bids, the inSti- ute would not have the power to dictate the prices, ib members assert.
 Union organizers insist that tho institute is practicaly "union" of the BtOeiiiaBterB, Wl1oge proBid- Ing spirit is still that prince of "outsido organizers" the elder j. ?. Morgan, who came from out- gIdo the steel business to organize It's greatest corporation, .. 6. Steel.
 But tho steelmagterB are specific in their denial that tho Institute is anything but c trade association of long standing. It received on admitted impetus during NRA days when it became the code authority of the industry, and It's prestige was enhanced at that time.
 Records Reveal Little
 The appeal of President Farrell of the Steel Corporation to the in- stitute in 1881, bitterly opposing ce-cutting, iS well known, and 1t b quite possible that informal conferences between members dur- ing one of the annual sessions carry more weight in the industry than the actions spread on tho institute'B public records. Its annual pTDcoed- lngB gre innocent records of speeches and papers on steel trends, pe1d- ing legislation, general policies, and technical progTebS.
 The federal trade commission in- vestlgated the institute c few years ago. and in 1924 the "Pittsburg plus" basing point for steel prices was abolished in favor of . mul- tiple- passing system. Grace, Irwin and Tower were active defenders oi the basIng.point system in recent hearings before the interstate coTn' merce committee of the senate. I Such are tho ostenSible activitiel of the steeImastcrS' "union." Il there are any others, it will be uT to the keenly critical steelworkers

attempt to establish the closed union shop.
 But in this the institute acted merely as . convenient mouth- piece to express the uniform point of view of its member com- panies, the institute claims.
 "The institute formulates no policies, for imposition upon mem. bers, exercises no control over members, and acts in no manner as . supervisory body. 1t Is simply an association 10 provide such service for its members they they require, but each member com- pany maintains complete inde. pendence of action in every re- Spect," explained Executive secre- tary Walter 6. Tower.
 Prepare Lobby Data
 The institute prepares material for public consumption and for lob- bying against national legislation like the Wagner labor relations act, the social security bill, and the Black S0.hour bill.
 Its committee on industrial rela- tons, "collectively and through It's individual members" has done much "toward developing an industry wide common understanding of such matters of vital importance" as in- dustrial relations and labor legisia- ton, reported Tower to the institute institute in i036.
 Two years ago tho institute be. gan publication of "eteel Facts" on international periodical on the induAtry, which has run as high as 30o,000 copies.
 Last fall, Interior Secretary IckeS called for bids on c large WPA project. Four companies bid for tho business, and Ickes refused to award the contract when oil four bids turned up identical.
 It was this and similar incl. dents that led John Lewis to de- clare sardonicailv that Tt may Dc admitted that when tho corpora tions associated with this institute speak with ono voice" when "lt has repeatedly appeared that prices

THE HOUSE THAT STEEL BUILT

 This the house that steel built, No danger of roofs that leak: Built to withhold the elefnen1, High winds or lightning streak. There's never . cause to worry About sagging or Totung caves, Tn this most modern structure Of perfection that skill achieves. There's no creaking of FafteFs, No moaning of wind in the walls, Built to endure indefinitely, Impregnable as old castle walls. Cool in summer, warm in winter, The steel built house is pretty good: it may be the last word in construction But l prefer little one of wood

Effect of Landon's Address Still Is Only q Guess .. Labor Stand Is No Bid for Union Support Appeal Co Be to Conservative Ele- ment of Nation,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-07-29

Reduction of taxes and expenses through elimination of waste and useless government bureaus has been promised by all politicians since time immemorial. It is hard for either Landon or Roosevelt to be specific about such cuts, because most big, expensive agencies of gov- ernment are usustained by pressure groups with large voting strength.
 The fact that the next congress will be democratic also suggests it. self as an impeachment to Landons plans. One of the smartest things Landon might do would be to appeal in advance for the cooperation of conservative democrats in Congress next January.
 This would help meet the charge that, even if elected, he would be powerless to effect reforms in the face of hostile legislative body.
