Wagner Acts Effect.

But, under the Wagner act, this
action OF the corporation tended to
interrupt interstate commerce be-
cause by interfering with the free
action of its employees in the matter
of the organization of their own union
the company was taking action calcu-
lated to bring about strike. And
strike would have interrupted inter-
state commerce.
Now, it is nothing new that work.
Ing men have a right to organize their
own union; nor that they have right
to demand collective bargaining. The
new thing is this: That any interfer-
ence with the exercise of those rights
is liable to interfere with interstate
commerce, and so becomes unlawful
1T is unquestionably true that
always hitherto the burden for the
blame has been placed upon the work.
ers. This time, by process OF per-
fectly legal legerdemain, the shoe was
discovered to be upon the foot of the
employer and so we now learn that
employers as we'll as workers may not
engage in any collective activities
which tend to interfere with the flow
OF goods which are to enter the stream
OF interstate commerce.
1t must be borne in mind that the
Wagner labor relations act does not
attempt to set out any new rights Of
labor but does attempt to set out
unfair labor practices on the part Of
employers. BY that very reason, the
Wagner act does not change other
existing laws in relation to labor and
labor activities. Therein lies potential
danger.
Unquestionably the decision on the
Jones & Laughlin Steel Co. case has
enlarged the legal conception of inter-
state commerce. BY the same token
this enlarged conception has CORE
spondingly extended the control by
Congress over trade unions as well as
over employers and over their activi-
ties. 1t is equally true that by this
decision the jurisdiction of our Fed
eral Courts has been enlarged to a
like degree 1t is to be remembered
that employers prefer the Federal to
tn State Courts bcause Federal judges
are not elected but appointed, for a
term without end, excepting by the
process of Impeachment, resignation
or death.
More serious than all else is the
absorbing question: Have the Sher-
man and Clayton antitrust laws
been correspondingly enlarged to
cover the collective activities Of labor
and, II so, to what extent are our
labor organizations now liable to triple
damages under the Federal anti
trust laws?
Jones & Laughlin Decision.
LET us bear in mind that the
decision in the Jones g. Laughlin
case was predicated on the second
Coronado case. BY the same logic
and reasoning is there not now the
danger that labor may find itself
handcuffed and shackled by the
illusive and restrictive provisions OF
Federal antitrust laws?
Time and experience alone car
tell what the future has in store fol
labor. While rejoiceful in the ap.
parent forward step taken, let us
not be unmindful of the danger,
lurking in the procedure followed
Let us be certain that in our ecstasies

O. | understand the Federal Hous-
ing Administration is showing hous-
es that can be bought for $2,500.
Where can they be bought or built?
A. This Is not quite correct The
Federal Housing Administration has
prepared a bulletin showing sug-
gested plans of five small houses to
illustrate the principles of econom-
ical construction methods, mater
ials and design. At that time the
prices at which they said these
houses could probably be built were
from $1,000 to $500 for the small
est house in which acceptable STAN
dards could be achieved and 81 100
to S2,500 for the largest house illus
trated. These prices included only
the cost of the house itself, without
a cellar, and did not include the
price Of land, utilities, grading,
landscaping. walks, or any other eX-
penseS that might be incurred. 1t is
possible that with a very ineXpen-
sive lot needing no grading, plant
ing, or walks the small three-room
house might be built even today SO
that the total outlay should not be
more than 81 500

lamp behind the davenport, one of
the new I. f. S. types, has a 10-inch
plastic bowl concealed behind the
shade. ami carries one of the new
three light bulbs from which three
different amounts Of light may be
obtained at successive turns OF the
switch. Note that it is placed be-
hind the divan, where the light re
flected upward bathes the entire
room with a soft glow, while the
light sent downward Eliminates the
full length Of the divan.
The end table lamp beside the
easy chair is also of the /. T.. S.
type, and gives q generous amount
Of light from one l00-Watt bulb.
These two lamps form the start
of the lighting program in this. iV-
ing room. Later on, second end
table lamp matching the one now
used will be purchased, and the two
placed ON matching end-tables at
both ends Of the davenport. The
floor lamp will then go over to the
rear of the fireside chair.
The owners of this home feel that
the money spent on their lighting
program will do more to keep them
in step with modern home progress
than a similar amount could pos
sibly do in additions to or changes
in the furnishings. Don't you
agree with them?

BUSINESS of the real estate crash of
1880 was the overproduction of
homes in the higher priced ranges
which found their way into Tho
hands of families unable to afford
them, according to Hays.
Unless steps are taken to supply
the types of houses which the pub
lie can afford to buy this same sit
uation may appear again, resulting
in another crash of serious proper
tionS.
1t was pointed out that, while
there Is an enormous deman1 for
small houses, builders must not
fail to build houses in the more eX-
pensive brackets. Concentration ON
inexpensive houses to the eXclu-
sion of larger houses would seri-
ouly handicap the recovery OF the
building industry.
Many Types
The building of any one type OF
| house to the exclusion Of any other
is dangerous for the building indus
try, particularly in a period Of eX-
panding activity The industry
must be ready to supply houses to
every class OF buyer, if it is to make
the most of its opportunities.
In one city in New York State
the building industry has found
that concentration on the medium
priced field to the exclusion of all
other classes is as unsatisfactory
as the building of only expensive
houses. In this instance 80 per
cent of the houses built during one
year were priced at between $4,000
and $4,000.
No Appeal
1t was found that the houses
were too expensive for the buyer
with small means and did not APP
peal to the buyer with a large in
come Many buyers have post
poned home ownership because the
houses were too expensive, while
another group has not bought be-
cause the houses were too small
Some buyers with small incomes
have purchased houses which cost
more than they could afford to pay
simply because they have become
convinced that houses costing less
than $5 1000 must be faulty in some
respect. Other buyers, well able to
buy more expensive houses, have
finally purchased a smaller house
because they have been unable to
| find what they wanted.

The home that wants TO avoid
being lust another house" must
keep pace with the new aids that
science is bringing to modern hous-
ing to insure more comfortable liV-
ing. And it is just such aids that
the nighttime appearance Of your
living room will reflect if it is
lighted with the new I. L. S. lamps.
These lamps, made in a wide va
riety Of types by numerous manu-
facturers. and sold by good stores
everywhere, carry tags certifying
that they comply with the scientific
Specifications of the Illuminating
Engineering Society. They provide
soft, diffused light that is kind TO
the eyes and, at the same time, har-
monize with any decorative scheme
Millions of them have been sold,
and millions of eyes are thankful
Until your home has some of
these lamps, you'll never know
what real eye-comfort and decora-
tive beauty can be provided by por-
table lamps. This is not to suggest
that you buy a number of them at
once, but that you at least make a
start with them toward putting
your home lighting ON a scientific
basis.

it's endorsement of small-house
demonstration projects.
Hays pointed out that in many
cities builders are concentrating ON
the construction OF the more eX-
pensive type of houses, failing to
build a sufficient number of small
dwelling units. Continuance Of
such a policy may result either in
overbuying assuming too heavy
financial obligations) or the post
ponement of home purchase by
thousands of families who are now
desirous of owning homes.

strain on roof and ceiling be too
I much?
A. First determine whether the
wall is a bearing partition. If not q
bearing partition, it can be remov-
ed with safety. If it is a bearing
partition, it is essential that a prop
erly designed support be substituted
for the wall. 1t is advisable to con-
suit an architect or engineer on
such a problem.
O. Is there any way to remove
cement that has been spilled on
brickWork
A. Brick masonry is cleaned by
scrubbing it with a weak solution Of
muriatic acid. The acid is mixed
with water in the proportion of
part acid to 6 or 8 parts of water
and is applied with a stiff-bristled
brush. The wall should be thorough
ly rinsed with clean water after this
application.
@. Must ross-bridging be nailed
at both top and bottom?
A. 1t should be double-nailed at
both top and bottom. The purpose of
bridging is to Stiffen the ioist and
distribute TO the adjoining joists the
heavy loads that would otherwise
bear upon a single joist.

OF Color Scheme
Before Deciding

Properly chosen color can make
a room seem larger or smaller. can
aid in Illumination and have a de-

eryone living in the house. 1t is
advisable to check on the effect of
colors before decorating a room.

SIZE OF LIVING ROOM

Porch space may be used as an
addition to the living room by en-
closing the porch and making a
double doorway between the rooms.
The same color scheme as is used

Gus one should be employed in the

NEED FOR SHORTER
HOURS STRESSED
AS World Labor Conference
Opens

Geneva (ILNS) Further reduction
of hours Of work was urged in the
opening session Of the twenty third
meeting of the International Labor
Conference here. More than SO coun-
tries were represented.
Sean Lemass, minister for indus
try and commerce of the Irish Free
State, was elected chairman of the
conference. Lemass was nominated
by Edward F. McGrady, assistant
secretary of labor of the United
States, who heads the United States
delegation.
Jaromir Necas, minister of social
welfare of Czechoslovakia, and chair
man of the governing body Of the
lLO, in addressing the conference at
the opening session, emphasized the
need for reduction of working hours
in industries in which modern meth
ods of manufacture and the economic
depression have produced extensive
unemployment.
II am convinced" he declared, chat
even if economic activity recovered to
the peak of the highest prosperity, we
should never solve the unemployment
problem without far-reaching read
justments in hours Of work
Workers Look to Conference
Unemployment in the modern
world is not merely the result of eco
nomic circumstances It's causes are
structural and permanent. The most
modern methods of manufacture
those which are included in the gen
eral term naturalization, have re-
lieved the physical fatigue of the
worker, but they have increased the
nervous strain and reduced possibili-
ties of employment.
If, then, the proposed reduction of
working hours in the industries most
affected by unemployment is at least
a partial remedy, we should endeavor
to insure that technical progress
shall be a blessing and not curse
for the workers. Hundreds Of thou
sands Of unemployed workers in the
textile, printing and chemical indus
tries, who are living in anxiety and
want, have their eyes fixed on the
conference. The conference must not
