Star Building Getting "Face Lifted"
Repairs Under Way to Prevent Further Deterioration of
Marble in 38-Year-Od Structure.

TINE 38.year r-old Star Building Is
having It's face lifted" and
treated with preservatiye sub.
4 stances expected to thwart the
ravages Of time and weather for at
least 10 years.
When the building was cleaned by
sand blasting last Fall-the first
beauty treatment the exterior had re-
ceived since 1t was washed with soap
and scrubbed In l921-it was dis
covered that much Of the Rutland
Vermont marble facing was very fri
able. that is, it was easily crumbled
or pulverized.
The condition of the building was
not regarded as hazardous, but 1t was
decided to undertake major repairs
to prevent further disintegration of
this Pennsylvania avenue landmark.
Facial surgeons" from the con-
tracing division of the A. C. Horn
Corp, Long Island City. N. Y, have
been at work on scaffolding for about
four weeks, and the operation Is ex-
pected to continue at least another
six weeks.
Extensive Investigation.
The contract for this work was
awarded only after extensive investi-
CATION by the building superintend-
ent's office Of The Star. C. w. Welsch
interviewed architects, construction
experts, Bureau of Standards and
Weather Bureau scientists and others
with special knowledge about the ef-
fects of time, weather and dirt on the
marble surfaces Of buildings. He went
to New York and learned what was
being done there to preserve several
famous buildings and monuments.
1t was concluded that authorities
are agreed that there is no certain
method to preserve stone, that no
known method will yield permanent
results and that the rate of stone
deterioration varies according to diff
ferent types of building materials,
climate and exposure to dirt. smoke
and acid conditions. Although some
authorities feel there is nothing which
can be done to prevent or retard
deterioration, the method being en-
ployed here is regarded as an effec-
tive deterrent to decay.
Experiments in England. dating
back to 1922, and at the Bureau of
Standards have shown that the chief
causes of building disintegration are
of chemical origin. Not sudden
temperature changes, but acid pene-
tration and erosion we're found to be
the worst agents Of damage.
Acids In Rain Water.
Rain water, falling through a city
atmosphere filled with carbonic acid
and sulphurous gases, absorbs these
substances and transmits them to
building stone. These acids dissolve
the carbonates in stone and leave the
masonry more porous with each ap-
plication.
Another cause of stone failure Is
the crystallization OF salts in marble
surfaces. Absorbed moisture causes
the crystals to expand and threaten
to split the stone. Smoke also intro
duces damaging substances which
render marble friable.
The face lifting" work on The
Star Building involves removal of all
loose mortar in masonry joints. re-
pointing of the joints with well-bal-
anced, finely ground mortar, water
proof1ng of the backs Of the roof
parapet walls and repacking Of open
mortar joints.
The final step In the protective
process is application of chemicals to
all marble and grSnite surfaces.

HOUSING FIGURES,
REACH NEW HIGH
$50, 900, 900 Mortgages In
sured in 0ctober-750,OOO
Homes Needed.
By the Associated Press.

0s thc hssoSiAtco
Housing ofIicials yesterday disclosed
statistics on which, they said, Stewart
Mcdonald, the housing administrator,
based his prediction to President
Roosevelt this week that 1887 would
bring an increase in home construc-
ton.
Arthur Walsh, assistant admins
traitor, said the volume OF mortgages
insured by the Housing Administration
hit q new high Of around $50, 900 900
in october. This compared with q
September figure of s44.316.s0 and a
volume of s1l, los, ,683 in the first month
Of such activity-May, 1885.
New Dwelling Needs.
Economists have estimated" Walsh
said. that there is urgent need for be-
tween 750, 900 and 800, 900 new dwell.
ing units in the United States.
"In 1884, before Federal housing
mortgage assurances we're available,
only 10000 dwellings were built. The
figure was tripled the following year
and by the end of next month there
will have been constructed approxi-
mately 250,0o0 dwelling units"
Statistics also show q steady In
crease, walsh said, in the amount the
public Is spending for undermining
and repairing homes.

NEGROES TELL OF
LABOR SLAVERY
In Arkansas Trial For
PeOnage

! Jonesboro, Ark. (ILNS)-Seven Ne
groes took the stand in federal court
and swore that they had been arrested
without cause by Paul D. Peacher,
city marshal Of Earle, Arkansas. All
swore-and this was not denied-that
they were fined S25 each and sentenced
to jail for 80 days; and that they all
worked out their sentences on the
farm belonging to the man who ar
rested them.
The defense admitted the arrests,
the fines, the imprisonment, and the
place where the sentences were work
ed out Peaeher claimed only that
the men were loafers, that their ar
rest was an official act" and that
they had regular trials"
The defense tried to attack the
characters of the witnesses, but
were stopped by the court. s'The guilt
or innocence Of these men is not in
volved in this trial" said the judge.
"The intent with which Peacher ar
Erested them and whether they had a
fair trial are the issues" The trial
was held under the federal anti
peonage law, and the charge against
Peacher was that of aiding and abet-
ting in causing persons to be held as
slaves
Winfield Anderson, 81, was one of
the witnesses. He testified that he
owned his home in Earle, and had a
steady income of a pension as COM
pensation for injury. He was arrested
at his home last May, without any
explanation; was taken to the justice
court of Mayor T. S. Mitchell, charged
with vagrancy, sentenced to S25 fine
and 30 days Imprisonment, and sent
to the Peacher farm to work out the
sentence.

Of Labor convention.

per various things, like the plant is
going to be moved. That has lost
some of its value, now, because EN-
ployes are mostly skeptical." I"
1t turned the trick at Middletown,
however. Bergoff and some of his men
went into the plant and began taking
down some of the machinery. That,
with the whispers that the plant would
be dismantled, brought telephone calls
from strikers and other citizens. The
managers of the company 'relented"
after just the proper show Of hesita-
ton, and there was a regular love
feast of ice cream, soda pop and ball
lyhoo, which strikers, strikebreakers
and executives Of the plant all absorb
ed together
False Names Used
"My men and women went to visit
the different employees on strike" ex-
planned Bergoff further. "They the
employes-were told that if they had
any grievances against the company,
they could take them up with the COM
pany after returning to work"
did your employees go into the
strikers homes ?" asked Daniel A.
Shortel, counsel for the NLRB.
Bergoff admitted that they did,
and that most of them used false
names.
"A number Of these strikebreakers
take different names when they go on
jobs" he continued. "They don't
want their families to know what kind
of business they're in, so they take
different names. | myself registered
under the name Of Brady, if that's any

Bergoff is reputed to have made
