However, the vcry fact that Farley

They are quite so.

HOPE OF PEACE
IN SHIP STRIKE
DWINDLES

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. %
G.N.SJ.-Hope for an early peace
in the Pacific Coast maritime
strike Of $1,000 men, now in its
fifty-fifth day, dwindled today.
Thomas G. Plant, chairman of
the Coast committee of ship
owners, blamed Harry Bridges for
failure of peace negotiations.
A statement issued by the joint
policy committee of the Maritime
Federation of the Pacific declared
early settlement of the strike is
impossible" until fundamental de-
mands of the seven striking unions
are met.
One of the fundamental issues
involved is settlement of the East
Coast Seamen'S strike.
Although Bridges has declared
on several occasions that settle
ment of the East Coast seamen's
strike must be made before the
West Coast strike is ended, other
spokesmen for the striking mari
time workers declined to go this
far.
Despite the fall of gloom cast
over the strike situation by the
series of statements for both sides,
Assistant Secretary of Labor Ed
ward F. McCrady, who has aban-
doned plans to return to his home
in the East for the Christmas holi-
days, was successful in arranging
a conference to be held today be-
tween the masters, mates and
pilots union and shippers.

The rooms on the first floor are
compact and are of nice size-not
so small as many apartment
rooms.
The exterior of the house is
frame and clapboardS are used to
give an appropriate texture to the
wall surface.
The sloping roof, by the way,
suggests the Dutch mouse Of New
York with the slope continuing
over the porch. Adding to the
character Of it is the steep end
gable, by tradition a part Of the
frame house. The slight second
story overhang is reminiscent Of
certain early New England homes.
Best Material
This is the thumb-nail sketch
of the house which is charming
with it's open porch and colorful
awnings and shutters. Placed back
on a wide lawn with sweep of
cool green it makes a delightful
picture for summer.
It must be remembered that in
figuring the cost Of this house,
the price will vary considerably in
relation to the grade of materials
used. If you use the finest woods
for the clapboarding, the living

sulation. This would be approx
mately $3.50 extra. It does include
the heating system, plumbing, and
the lighting fixtures.
The Attic
With the attic left unfinished
the educated guess on its cost
would be $4,850, as built in
the outlying districts. This cost
includes the base price after the
lot has been purchased. The mini
mum cost estimated for finishing
off the second floor is $3.50.
If built in the District just as
pictured, the cost would be about
$3.50 as the minimum. Allowing
$3.50 would be safer. Prices as
estimated here are as of the cur
rent market.
The shutters add to the individ-
uality of the house and can be

On the other hand, the mode

lumber is a bad investment in a
