PACIFIC FIR GOES
TO NEW YORK FAIR

NEW YORK (SpeciaD Good old
Douglas fir" from the Pacific Northwest
will provide the foundations for the most
spectacular Of wonders at the New York
Worlds Fair Of 1889.
This was learned when the Fair Corpo-
ration offices in the Empire State build
ing announced the purchase of more
than 100000 worth of ir pilings from
the National Pole Treating Company
This particular lot of hr sticks will be
driven into the ash fill Of the 12l6h-acre
exposition site to guarantee the support
of the two unique structures forming
the Theme Centre of the Nations Fair.
These are the 200-foot Perisphere, a
globe seemingly supported on the waters
of fountains, and the Trylon, 7OO-foot
triangular needle or beacon and broad
casting tower.
Shipments of the 1860 sticks. 95 to 80
feet in length, are taking place this
month, after creosote treatment has been
accorded them either at the National Pole
and Treating Company's plant at Hill
yard, Washington, or at the Minneapolis
yards.
This Is the Fairs second purchase OF
Ar from Northwest sources. An order
for ITO sticks of similar length was filled
early this year from Oregon cuttings.
This earlier shipment Of piling supports
the Fairs 100000 Administration Build
ing already erected on the grounds.

SOUTHERN PINE GOES
TO NEW YORK FAIR

NEW YORK Especially. Southern
yellow pine from the Eastern Shore.
Maryland, and from points in Delaware,
Virginia and North Carolina is already
going into foundations in the central area
OF the New York Worlds Fair of 1889.
Grover Whalen. President of the Fair
Corporation. has just announced the pur-
chase of 430 sticks of pine piling, in
lengths up to 80 feet, from Nichols
Brothers, of 80 West Street, Manhattan,
and Norfolk, Virginia. Shipments Of this
lot are originating at Frankfort. Della
ware, Preston, Maryland, and Melfa and
Cheriton, Virginia An order for piling
Of similar size is being filled at points in
North Carolina.
The pine sticks are being driven into
the ash-meadoW fill of the l216la acre
exposition site where they will serve as
part Of the foundations for bridge abut-
ments near the Theme Centre and
amusement areas of the Fair.

The world laughed in turn at the
men who discovered telegraphy, radio,
airplanes and motion pictures. Just
as they razzed the steamboat.
The human race is still at it. Some
even yet laugh at research and statls-
tics and organized information-and
at modern publicity public relations.
There are some who think public re-
lations are the inhabitants of the poor
house, or the guys down in city hall.
It's mad and crazy world. Things
happen fast enough to make people
dizzy. And they do get dizzy. And
some have to work SO hard all day at
their jobs that they can't think when
they're through.
But leaders have to think-and plan
and know the latest and be up to
snuff and on the job, alert and alive
and truly wise in the serious sense
of the word They're getting more
that way-but they can keep going
that way without going too far.

AN EXPERIMENT IN Co
apEP TTnN

Greenbelt, Maryland. a place de-
signed by the much berated Rex Tug
well as model town, is to be the site
of another experiment. 1t has hous-
ing for nearly 900 families; and occu-
pancy will begin within a month. And
now corporation headed by E. A.
Filene, merchant and philanthropist
of Boston, will take over the job of
supplying mercantile service to this
community without profit.
1t is certainly a noble experiment,
not the first one Mr.. Filene has made;
and he nearly always succeeds. The
Consumer Distribution Corporation,
organized last year by Mr. Filene as
the nucleus for series of cooperative
stores, will make this it's first real
venture 1t will run a general mer-
chandise stoe, food and meat mar
ket, drugstore, motion picture the
tre, barber shop, filing station, "and
other services which community Of
900 families will need
Co-operatiyes do about a quarter Of
the retail business of Great Britain.
They are the basis of Denmark's $ pros
perity They are potent in other Scan
dinavian countries; and wherever
they come, they Tighten the load Of
the consumer. But up to date, except
for the purpose Of marketing certain
limited crops, they have made no
such advance in this country as has
been scored in half dozen other
countries. Perhaps this will be the
turning point.

BUILDING TESTS ,
WALLS FOR FAIR

NEW YORK Especially Although the
the opening date Of the New York
Worlds Fair is still almost two years
away, the Fair site already has one
building that mystifes all persons who
pass that way and one that is OF great
interest to the contractors and builders
Of the whole country. The big sign says
1t Is the "test building"
The building can be made to do
lot Of things just short OF late dance
step. 1t can be made to twist. heave.
buckle, sag or otherwise comfort. all at
the viii OF the Fairs engineers. 1t has
a sawed-off tower arrangement on one
end. Some sections Of its walls are daz-
cling under the sun and are, obviously.
encrusted with bits Of broken glass. Its
four walls, in fact comprise 43 different
set-ups Of material. supports and surface
coatings. When its day is done it will be
made to collapse by the turn of screw.
The unique building is typical OF moth
ing other than itself, say Fair officials,
since it is just set of walls, upon which
to try out the merits of various types OF
wall coating and stucco treatments.
The durability, appearance and struc-
tural peculiarities of walls are of great
importance to the Fair. since its 300
buildings will require around 100000
square feet Of such enclosures.
The interior of this wall laboratory
Is given over to the Corporations illumi-
nation engineers and their experimental
ton with new lighting devices.

1000 New A. F. of l..
Members in Wisconsin

Milwaukee, Wis. (AFLNS)-The
disruptionist activities of Lewis COM
mittee for industrial organization IN
Wisconsin have evidently not interfer-
ed with the substantial growth OF
unions loyal to the principles and pol
icies of the American Federation of
Labor and opposed to dual organiza-
tions.
This fact is strikingly revealed by
the report of j. j. Handley, secretary
Of the Wisconsin State Federation OF
Labor. that $4,000 new members had
Joined the federation since July, 1886
This large number of progressive
trade unionists, Mr.. Handley said, ex-
ceeded by six to one the dues-paying
membership of those CIO unions
which had been affiliated with the
State Federation of Labor, but which
have either been dropped for non
payment of per capita tax, or have
withdrawn.
The annual convention of the State
Federation of Labor will open at Man
itowac on September 21. The speak
ers include William Green, presiden
of the American Federation of La
Dor, and Francis Perkins, secretary o
labor.

WE FONDLY HOPE

The form of release most frequent
ly given out by the National Medi-
alton Board begins with the legal
formula, ".In the Matter of Soandso VS..
Whichanwhat, summarizes the case
usually in less than half sheet of
typewriting, and ends as follows:
"On the basis of the mediation
agreement referred to, the National
Mediation Board hereby closes its file
A-342.
by order Of the National Medi-
alton Board.
George A. Cook, Secretary"
The National Mediation Board is
official peacemaker for the railroad
industry The statement that its file
in any case is closed means that a
labor dispute important enough to
invoke the services Of the board has
been settled, finished, ended, done
away with. The settlement Of labor
disputes on railroads has become 50
common that the board uses form
letter to state the matter, and not
one per cent of the population of the
country ever hears about it.

Two generals on the Japanese side,
moving against the Chinese north
west of Peiping, have been killed by
their own revolving troops. One was
Japanese commander of high stand
ing and reputation, the other was an
officer of the puppet state of Manchu-
kuo. Probably the rebelling troops
were Manchukuans, enlisted-or con-
scripted trained by Japan. The
private army" of another Manchu-
kuan general who has been fighting
for Japan has not only rebelled, but
has deserted to the Chinese, carrying
its arms and equipment.
These dispatches come from Janan-
ese sources, not Chinese. Such a de-
velopment is the grimmest kind of por-
tent for Japan. If the revolt was plot
ted and planned, the natural conclu-
sion is that the plotters have gone
farther, how much farther neither
Japan nor anyone else can tell at
the present time. If the revolt was 8
spontaneous uprising, it shows that
the people of Manchuria, under Japan
ese rule for many years, have reach
ed the exploding point.
And as if they desired to rouse al
China to the exploding point, tht
japanese have rained bombs on Can
