PAINTS ARE HELD
BY BRICK HOUSES
No Special Treatment Is
Necessary Prior to
New Work. .s

Brick houses do not require special
treatment when they are repainted.
They usually receive and hold for
years any paints designed for use
on wood or cement.
The first step should be to point
up the structure if mortar between
the bricks is crumbling Efflorescence
Of water-soluble salts often appears
on unpainted brick structures. These
salts are mainly compounds of calcium
brought to the surface by absorbed rain
water. Before painting the wall the
eflorescence should be removed by
dry brushing or by scrubbing with
water.
Before painting, new brick buildings
should be allowed to dry for several
months. The priming coat in such
instances should contain a very SUBJ
stantial amount Of high-grade exterior
spar varnish to act as a sealing film.

ANTI-LABOR BOSSES
WOO PUBLIC, SAYS
NLRB ECONOMIST

Washington, D. G. (ILNS) David
J. Saposs, chief economist for the
NLRB, charged that anti-union en-
ployers are seeking to mobilize public
opinion to defeat labor unions in at
tempts to bargain collectively. He
made his charges in pamphlet en-
titled, "Anti-union Activities in the
United States"
Forbidden by law to interfere with
their employees rights to organize,
these employers and their allies have
turned from open opposition to indi-
rect, anti-union maneuyers and strate-
gems in order to fulfill their old OBJ
jectives," Saposs wrote.
s'In their attempts to confuse and
intimidate their employees and to
evade the National Labor Relations
Act, they have recognized the impor-
tance of capturing the support of the
third party the public.
Accordingly, they have concen-
trated their energies on creating pub
lie opinion hostile to organized labor.

Corporation of North Chicago to re-
