ALASKA JUNEAU STRIKE CASE TO
 CIRCUIT COURT
Labor Board Petitions Vir- ginia Court to Carry Out
 Orders for Back Pay

SEATTLE, Wash, OOct. 2. - The National Labor Relations Board at Washington has petitioned the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals at Richmond, Va, to enforce it's order and findings against the Alaska Ju- neau Gold Mining Company. Charles w. Hope, Regional Director, an- nounced here today. He was the examiner who sat at the Juneau hearings last Spring
 Hope Said he had been notified of the move by the Board and that "the case was the first Territorial one to be handled by the Board" He said the Boards order, hand ed down last July 31, ordered the reinstatement of 29 employees with back pay from the date of the A. J. strike on May g, 1885; also ordered cessation of encouraging member ship in the Juneau Mine Workers Association, a so-called company union.
 The Regional Director said the petition for enforcement to the Cir cult Court followed notification he had received, transmitted to the Board by the Company's counsel, declining to comply with the order. He stated that the company's coun- sel had informed him of plans to contest the order, challenging the constitutionality of the Wagner La- bor Relations Act and the jurisdic- tion of the Board through to the Supreme Court.
 The. Director said he had seen no estimate of the amount of money involved in the back pay order.
 LONG SESSION AHEAD
 The action by the Labor Board means that the case again will be aired, this time in the Circuit Court and probably carried to the Supreme Court later, following the decvision of the Court of Appeals.

Outmoded Living Rooms Can
Be Transformed Under FILA
tion's Single Mortgage

Houses constructed about the turn
of the century, in many cases, in
clude living rooms (knoWn more
familiarly IN that era as parlors)
which are out place, dull, and un-
attractive to the modern eye.
Such homes, however, frequently
are of sound construction and still
have many years of service ahead
of them. Intelligent tranSforma-
ton Or conversion of such living
rooms is easily effected under terms
of the Federal Housing AdminiStra-
TONS Modernization Credit Plan,
In such cases, it is advisable to con-
suit with a qualified architect or
building contractor prior to start
ing work, as such advice in the be-
ginning generally more than pays
for itself in savings both in mater
ials and labor.
Built-in shelves and cabinets not
only, tend to enhance the beauty of
the room, but also materially in
crease utility with a minimum us
age of floor space. Simplicity should
be the keynote OF modern interior
decorating. Thoughtful home own
erS will find in most instances that
such conversions may be done at
very reasonable costs. For full par

Builders Week To
Be Observed Soon


DAYTON, Ohio.-Plans are de-
veloping rapidly. for the observance
of a Builders Week, which will
probably be held in March. New
construction will be the theme of
the observance, which will be fea-
tured by a weeks display of appli-
ances, building materials, etc, in
the windows of Dayton's leading
mercantile establishments.
Coordinating their efforts for
this occasion will be the retail mer-
chants, the financial institutions,
the American Institute of Archi-
tects, the civic organizations, the
building supply dealers and build
ers, and all others interested in
construction and modernization.
The Federal Housing Administra-
ton will maintain an information
booth at all strategic centers. The
merchants during that week will
tie in their newspaper advertising
for the benefit of the building in
dustry-especially those members
whose appropriations will not at
this time permit expenditures for

FLA AVERAGES
ON MORTGAGES
ABOUT $4,000

WARRINGTON. -. Q. - The
average amount of a home mort
gage made under the Federal
Housing Administration Single
Mortgage System extends for a
period Ct l6l2 years for a principal
amount OF $4,000, representing 70
per cent of the valuation OF the
property. Federal Housing Admin
istrator Stewart Mcdonald an
nounced today.
Through December 1885,, the
administrator said, mortgages va
lued at S17O,0OOO00 had been ac-
cepted for insurance. This amount,
in addition to the 80 per cent
equity of $51,0O0,O00 advanced by
the owners, represents the total
hcme investment interest of the
Federal Housing Administration OF
1921 900 900.
Our analysis indicates that 73
per cent of all Federal Housing
Administration insured mortgages
are for amounts less than $4,000;
mortgages on new construction are
mostly for $4,000 to $1,000, while
the average refinanced mortgage
falls into the $1,000 to $4,000 group.
This difference is compensated
for in part by the fact that mort
cages on new construction repre-
sent a higher percentage of the
property valuation than refinanced
mortgages and that the period Of
years in which the mortgage is to
be paid off is longer for new con-
struction mortgages than for those
refinanced.
"AS a consequence, the monthly
payments fer both new construc-
ton and refinanced mortgages are
about the same. The man who
builds a new house gets a 20-year
mortgage and borrowS up to 80
per cent of the value of his prep
erty, obligating himself for a
monthly payment of about the
same amount that a person who
refinances the mortgage en- an
existing house pays under the Fed
eral Housing administration single
mortgage plan.
THAT the Federal Housing ad-
mlillSIraClOn pldll dppedlo W pei
sons of moderate income is evi-
denced by the fact that monthly
payments ON these mortgages
range from $21 to $36 per month.
On the basis of an expenditure of
20 per cent OF the family budget
for housing, these payments pre-
suppose an annual income of from
l,2OO to $4,000 for almost three
quarters of the families benefited
by the Federal Housing admins

CLOSET LIGHTS
PRESENT MANY
FINE PROBLEMS

The ever-present question of
lights in closets has several solu-
tions, but each one has its disad-
vantages as we'll as its advantages.
The simplest of all is the ceiling
light that is operated by a pull
chain. The danger of closing the
door and leaving the light burning
is always present, and it is annoy
ing and expensive to open the clos
ct and find the light burning mer-
rily from the last visit to it, per-
hapS the day before.
The next method is the light
with the switch on the outside of
the closet There is the same dan
ger here unless a pilot light IS
provided with the switch. This
glows red while the light is on,
SO only the most absent-mlnded
professor could ignore it.
Another type is the door switch
which automatically turns on the
light when the door is opened and
turns it off when it is closed The
only trouble with this type is that
if the door is left ajar the light
continues to burn. Good training
can overcome this objection.
The latest thing is a light that
when turned on burns for a stated
time, | minute or 3 minutes, or
whatever time is desired, and then
goes cut. This obviates the danger
of leaving it going, but it may go
out lust as the owner is rummag-
Ing among the shoes for pet pair
of slippers. However, this type
offers the best safeguard, SO per-
haps the occasional inconvenience
Of being thus caught can be put
up with. If your closet has no light
at all, you can ootain the neces-
sary funds for the installation OF
wiring through any private finan-
cial institution which holds a con-
tract of insurance with the Federal
Housing administration.

Production and Jobs

The amazing industrial progress Of the
summer months, time when output
usually subsidies, would be more satisfac-
tory If employment kept pace with pro-
duction. But jobs have Jagged about 20
per cent behind output, and payrolls have
Jagged about 30 per cent, as measured by
the averages of 1922 to 1925. If this gap
continues, what becomes of the familiar
economic argument that machinery
doesn't really make unemployment-that
the men displaced by machines find other
work kthrough the continued increase
of machines and the jobs connected with
them?
Open-minded people, studying these
matters, may withhold judgment for
another year or two. Then, If private
enterprise fails to absorb workers who are
idle or on public jobs, there will have to be
borne, directly or indirectly, by in
dustry through taxation.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1936-09-12

gets down to the point where sub
stantial vote in most states has been
recorded.
According to the announcement Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt has Whitfield
away the lead of Governor ALI M. Landon,
while Representative William Lemke, the
union party candidate, continues to run
a poor third. So far the only real interest
in the candidacy of the N. U. s. J.-backed
congressman is in Minnesota. Again we
say. that this may mean nothing at all,
but to those who are vitality concerned
with the presidential ambitions Of the
union party man, it might seem like the
beginning of the end. We would not
make that prediction, though.
The Digest poll in Maine may be bit
significant. The President has closed the
gap there. BY the time the next vote
standing is made, however, Maine will
have voted and we'll know how close or
far away the Digest poll is going to be.
It's too bad that more ballots could not
have been secured prior to the states own
election, as the 1000 now recorded are not
a true index Of what Is apt to happen IN
Maine next week.
There Is encouragement for both the
major parties in the Digest poll standing
of yesterday President Roosevelt's fol-
lowers can point out that he is cutting
down The early Landon lead. Landonites
may retort that in certain states that
democrats have been claiming lately Lam
don went into the lead Immediately. Your
guess Is as good as the next mans.
