"Proof of Backwardness."
"Still greater proof Of the back
wardness of the steel industry in its
wage policy Is shown by the returns
of the 81 industries studied by the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board as
to changes in actual and real weekly
wages during the period 1923-36. In
this comparison the steel industry
ranks last both as to actual money
wages and real wages.
Our committee would bring to the
steel workers economic and political
freedom: living wage to those lowest
in the scale Of occupations. sufficient
for the support of the worker and his
family in health and modest comfort.
Above this basic wage. our committee
believes that differentials should be
paid to other workers according to
skill, training hazard and response
bility.
There is but one other fundamen-
tai motive which the Committee for
Industrial Organization has for union
izing the steel industry.
1T ds simple and direct. 1t Is to
protect the members Of our own Or
ganizations. We know, although we
are now free men and women, that so
long as millions Of other industrial
workers are without economic and
political freedom a condition exists
which is a menace to our freedom.
Labor Accepts Challenge
"Organized labor in America accepts
the challenge of the omnipresent over
lords of steel to fight for the prize Of
economic freedom and industrial
democracy. The issue involves the Sc
curity of every man or woman who
works for a living by hand or by brain.
The issue cuts across every major eco
nomic, social and political problem now
pressing with incalculable weight upon
the 130 millions of people Of this Ma
ton.
"On such an issue there can be no
compromise for labor or for thought
full citizenship. I call upon the workers
in the iron and steel industry who are
listening to me tonight to throw on
their shackles Of servitude and join
the union of their industry. I call
upon the workers in the textile. lumber,
rubber, automotive and other unor-
ganized industries to join with their
comrades in the steel industry and
forge for themselves the modern in
struments of labor wherewith to de-
mand and secure participation in the
increased wealth and increased pro-
ductive efficiency Of modern industrial
America. ***
"I unhesitatingly place the values
represented by 10000, 900 human be-
ings engaged in industry and their
go, ZOO, 900 dependents as being above
and superior in every moral consid-
Grafton to the $4,000, 900, 900 Of in
animate dollars represented by the re-
sources of the American Iron and Steel
Institute or to the additional billions
Of inanimate dollars that perforce may
be allied with the empire Of steel in
the impending struggle which the In
stitute. in the brutality Of its AFRO
gance, seeks to make inevitable" i

Rehobeth and Ocean City are, OF
course, the favorite detectives.
Ocean City is Maryland's premier
shore resort, and during the sum-
mer season the population often

En- route to Rehobeth Beach or

two ferry lines from Annapolis.
The shorter ferry route is via
Matapeake, but the car owner de-
string to spend more time in cross

to Claiborne.
The Del-Mar-Va Peninsula is, Of

areas in close proximity to the Ma

is important that they accent the

An uncanny little instrument

you whether the light is sufficient
for various seeing tasks. This
service can be had free here in
Washington. The representative
makes this test without charge and
merely recommends changes that

1t is not always necessary to re-
place fixtures in order to have
proper lighting. Often a shade
shaped so that the light is reflected
properly will be sufficient.
New bulbs may help. If you are

Is
Objective

Although nearby beaches and
mountains attract by far the
larger number of District motor
lists who seek weekend Surcease
from the city's summer discom-
forts, the Gettysburg National
Park, scene of the terrific strug-
gle between the forces of the
North and South during the War
Between the States, is the objec-
tive of many who seek brief but
interesting expeditions.
And while many vacationiStS
arrange their itinerary so that
the famous battlefield will be in
cluded in their trips there are
perhaps as many others who
make Gettysburg the major OBJ
jective of their tour.
Guides report that while auto
mobiles bearing tags from many
States are parked daily in the park
while their owners and paSSen-
gers make a more or less 1nten-
sive study of the site Of the bloody
three-day battle, there is scarcely
a day that passes that does not
bring its quota of cars from the
Nations Capital.
The tour to Gettysburg is one
that can be made, and with profit,
over the weekend but many, eSpe-
cially those who are interested in
history or military tactics, either
plan to make their visit to the
field leisurely or to make a series
of trips to the site.

The new system is being in
stalled with as little confusion
as possible. 1t has meant tenn
porary Encouragement, but the
old fixtures are remaining and
no change has been made in
room plans.
While the new wiring was in
stalled to provide safety, it also
has outlets at strategic points
that make emergency setupS pos
sible.
When such Importance is placed
on wiring by those in the Execu-
tive Mansion, it is certainly
worth more than a passing
thought by home owners. Even
in new homes wiring is apt to
be risky unless special attention
is given it.
Job for Expert
The size of the wire, the num-
Der of circuits needed are best
left to an expert. This is all
worked out in a scientific way
at the present time. Wiring will
depend on the construction OF
your home. Frame houses take
one type, while the concrete
homes require another.
When a new house is pur'

PaneIed Walls
Effective

Paneled walls are equally effec-
tive in a dignified library or a
summer living room. Their sug-
gestion of mountain ruggedness
makes them particularly adapt
able to the latter use, for they
give a feeling of mountain lodge
or desert ranch-houSe that is a
long cry from the city apartment.
Wood paneling that is easily
applied is being made by a num-
Der of companies today.
A family which owned a house
in the country decided on the use
of paneling for the entire first
floor. The living room was done
in knotty pine. which blended

The Washington times., 1936-08-22

chased and the method OF wiring
is questionable. it is economy to
have an electric contractor check
on this to see if safety precau,
lions are necessary.
There are certain features that
a home owner should be inter
ested in. One is to see that an
adequate number Of outlets are
provided to take care Of not only
immediate needs but also future
ones. In winter if you have a
fireplace, you may wish to serve
here your Sunday night suppers.
If you have provided outlets for
heating appliances, then chatting
dish or waffle iron can be plugged
in and a delicious hot dish served
before envious guests. This is
only one example Of many ways
that outlets placed at strategic
points will increase convenience
and comfort Of living. These out
lets are quite a bother to install
after the job has been completed.
Electric Eyes"
Another suggestion has been
made in regard to making houses
more burglar proof. In some
cases the electric eye has been
used for this especially in sum-
NOR COTTAGES. However. for dwell
ers in the suburbs, two dash
lights can be installed on the
outside of the house just under
the cornice and focused on the
lawn.
A switch in the bedroom or liv-
ing room would make it possible
to flood the lawn and make a
most unattractive setting for any
burglar.
This same idea can be carried
out with interior lights. All the
lights in the house can be con-
trolled from one switch in the
master bedroom. In case Of noise,
the flip Of the switch will flood
the whole house with light.
No longer need the blown" fuse
darken the whole house. That
welcome news comes from an ex-
pert who suggests wiring on two
circuits. When the lights hooked
to one are blank, lights on the
other circuit are still in order.
The Washington times., 1936-08-22

SldeStepping all the impressive,
but confusing, terms like foot
candles, wattage, voltage, etc.,
the plan was described to me like
this:
It seems that on a bright day
the intensity Of the light outside
Is so times as great as just inside
the window. Since eyes were
made for outdoor distance vision
this sort of thing fits into the
picture beautifully.
Prevent Glare
The eye does not need to make
o tremendous amount of adjust
ment during the day. But in the
evening with sewing and reading
to do, there is a different story
to tell. The average light bulb
used gives you only 1900 of the
light your eye was built to use.
AL this goes to show that eye
strain, nervous tension, needless
expenditure of energy and a
couple Of frown wrinkles really
aren't necessary, according to
these experts.
Their theory is to light the
room evenly with Semi-indirect
lighting. Part of the light is
thrown to the ceiling, the rest
is diffused evenly down over the
reading or working surface. In
this way all Of the glare and
bright spots found in ordinary
lighting are avoided. 1t furnishes
a general light that is comfort
able to the eye. 1t is thrown
over the room evenly.
These special lights which do
all of these things have been de-
signed so that they stand high
enough to give sufficient spread
of light. The bulbs instead OF
being frosted are concealed inside
of reflectorS that diffuse the
light. This avoids the type Of
bulb as annoying to the eye as
the direct sun out of doors.
The shades Of the light are
scientifically shaped and proper
toned. They are lined with a
material that reflects a maximum
amount of light. In fact, they
seem to have all the desirable
features needed. Best Of all, they
