Boston, Mass, Nov. 12.-England is
free of much Of the labor unrest which
we are experiencing. Labor troubles
have decreased drastically in recent
years. From a peak in 1925, the an
nual number of workers involved in
disputes has dropped 85 per cent. Not
only the return of prosperity, but the
high degree of unionization, are re-
sponsible for this improvement. Total
membership in trade unions in Eng
land at present is 100000, or nearly
one-half of all male industrial work
ers. Our own figures are roughly T.
OCO,OOO union LENDERS. This is about
one-fourth of our male industrial
workers.
Yet, surprisingly enough, union in
tereSt in England seems to be on the
wane. Labor leaders over there are
now trying desperately to stage a
demonstration" as they call it. They
recently have had hard time in get
ting even small audiences. When |
asked one of the leaders the reason
for this difficulty, he said:
"SSome years ago when labor was
fighting for recognition, this hall
would be many times over-flowed
when I called a meeting. Now, when
every one is member of some labor
union and when collective bargaining
is universal, the wage workers have
lost interest in union activities"
New Slant On Labor Issue.
This is typical of what heard
everywhere in England. lndustrialists
over there believe that American en-
ployers are foolish to fight labor IN
it's attempts to organize and bargain.
A manufacturer said to me: "A boiler
explodes only when the safety valve
is tied down." Labor is well employ
ed wherever I go. Unemployment has
been cut in half since the crisis New
buildings are going up everywhere.
Total construction is double the level
of five years ago.

Washington, Nov. IL (AP)-Presi-
dent Roosevelt said today he would
talk with private power utility execu-
tives next week, presumably about
his efforts to get them to lower pro-
perty valuations with view to bring
ing down electric rates.
He told a press conference he did
not know whether they would take up
the need for construction in the utility
field. A lag in such construction has
been mentioned in recent. presidential
conferences on methods to induce pri-
vate capital to go into the housing and
heavy building fields.
In the housing study, the president
said two prime factors were being
given attention, namely, to get capt.
tai to go into the field, and to gain the
double objective of low interest and
low building costs.
The lower the costs are, the Pres
dent said, the better it will be for the
buyer and renter of homes.
The President, meanwhile, said his
message to Congress would be sent to
the Capitol on Monday, opening day
OF the special session.

TO MEET THURSDAY
Northeast Conference Also to Take
Up Question of 0vercrowding
of Many Buses.

The final meeting of the Dedication
Committee of the Joint Conference Of
Northeast Citizens Associations, plan
ming to formally open the new fire
house at Thirteenth street and Rhode
Island avenue northeast on May 4,
will be held Thursday evening to draw
up final plans, A. F. E. Scheer, chair
man, announced yesterday.
The meeting will be in conjunction
with the regular meeting Of the con-
ference at No. IL precinct, he stated.
To speed up traffic and also for
safety reasons the conference will con-
slider plan proposed by the Dahlgren
Terrace Citizens Association propos-
ing a ban against street car passengers
standing in the front and rear plat
form wells. Much overcrowding exists
today, he said, and much valuable
time is lost in trying to discharge or
take on passengers in the tightly
packed areas.
Another measure to be considered,
also from Dahlgren Terrace, is pro-
posed special tax on all trucks regu-
larly travelling through the District.
Maryland and Virginia now place q
tax on District trucks which do busi-
ness in these States and it has been
suggested that the District might levy
this tax as an additional source of
revenue for street repairs. The trucks,
usually heavy laden, do more damage
to the streets than the average auto
mobile, it was pointed out.

Three heavily traversed streets con-

The only sidewalk now there is on the
north side of Concord avenue west Of
Blair road, he said.
In the morning and evening each
day." Dixon declared, children walk
along the side Of the streets with the
rush-hour traffic passing by. Through
the efforts Of our association, co-op-
Grating with the Keene School Parent
Teacher Association, we were success
full in obtaining very satisfactory po-
lice protection at the intersection OF
the three streets-both in the morn
ing and in the evening. However,
these policemen can only protect the
children at the intersection and not
after they leave it on their way home
or to school"
The association will seek funds from
District officials to have the projects
installed, he said. The meeting will
be held at the Keene School at 8 pm.
