SAVE on COAL

It's not too late to save a part of
your winter coal bin by learning how
to operate your coal furnace more eff
ficiently. Here are some of the rules
for getting your coal furnace To pro-
duce the temperature YOU want at a
given time most economically, reports
Consumers Guide, publication of the
Consumers Counsel Division of the L.
S. Department of Agriculture:
|. A draft of air from below the
fire makes it burn more intensely, Il
draft of air from above slows ii down
and cOolS off the fire. SO you must
learn To adjust draft doors and damp
erS in your furnace to heat your house
from hour to hour at the temperature
you want.
.. In the morning when you want a
not fire, increase the draft from below
the fire by opening the ashpit draft
door and closing the check damper.
Make Il clean flame by opening the
fire door damper as far as necessary.
3. For Il cool, SlOw-burning fire AT
night, close the ashpit draft door and
open the check damper and fire damp
er. Remember that fires can't be regu-
lated from hot to cold in Il moment,
however. Experience alone will tell YOU
how delicately your own furnace must
be regulated.
4. a layer of ashes on the CRATE
under the fire bed slows up burning.
The hotter the fire YOU want. the thin
ner the layer of ashes you'd should
leave. Never shake all the ashes down
before You start Il fire or bank il ut
night, and never shake out mbulmed
coal. Vary the ash bed from = to 6
inches, depending on how cold ii is
outside and how hot you want it in
side
;. When you fire your furnace al
ways leave a section of glowing coal
on top beside the new coal. to ignite
the gases coming off the new green
coal. This makes for more complete
burning and more heat.
6. Adjust the smoke pipe dampcr for
your draft requirements and never
change it. Daily regulation of draft is
made by fire door and check dampers
and aShpit draft door.
Z. Never put ashes on top Of Il fire.
The cut down the draft when YOU
want to build up your fire to make
it burn fast.
8. Keep the aShpit cleaned out.
Heaped up ashes hamper air flow, keep
CRATE from cooling evenly and make
it warp so fire burns wastefully.

AFL Praises Agreement For Seven
Day Week In Pacific ShipYdrds

Washington, d. c. ULNS).-Pride in
the agreement reached by American
Federation Of Labor metal trades
unions calling for "round-the-clock,"
seven-day-week production in the Pa
cific Coast shipyards was expressed by
the A. f. of l.. Executive Council, dur
ing it's mid-winter meeting here.
"'rhis is labor'S constructive answer
to President Roosevelts plea for 24-
hour day, seven days a week victory
production" the council declared.
The council recalled that the Pacific
Coast Shipyards were previously in
cluded in a stabilization agreement en-
tered into by the Government. the ALL
Metal Trades Department and the ship
yard owners covering wages. hours and
working conditions and barring strikes
and lockOutS.
"rhe new agreement makes 1t pos
sible for sorely needed ship cOnstruc-
tiOn to continue without interruption
night and day, week days and holi-
days." the council added.
Other Similar Pacts Asked
Relief that similar agreements for
full-time production can be put in effect
i'm many other vital war Industries was
voiced by the council, which pledged
AFL cooperation to promote such
agreements.
One hundred thousand workers are
covered by the Pacific agreement,
which calls for Il basic 4O-h0ur week
with overtime pay for time worked in
excess of that figure. The individual
workers will he on Il siX-day week
basis with their days off staggered so
that a full working crew will be ON
hand three shifts Il day, seven days Il
week.
Overtime Rule Urged
The Executive Council went on to
ask mandatory pay for all Govern
ment employees, saying:
Government employees deserve the
same consideration as do workers in
private industry. 1t would be grossly
unfair for the Government to set
standards for hours of work in indus
try and then violate these standards
with respect to employees in the Fed
eral service Yet this is happening to.
day
Nevertheless, while legislation exists
permitting department heads to pay
overtime to Government employees, this
is not being done in many cases. The
Executive Council believes this situa-
ton should be remedied at once and
rule established for the payment of
overtime to Government employees in
all cases."

help employers whose plants are to

force includes persons who need only
Il short training course to do the new
work. Through Job Family studies,
which show the relation between diff
ferent kinds of jobs, the analyst helps
the employer solve his job problem by
transferring some of his workers from
their regular work to defense jobs
If additional workers from outside
are needed, McNutt said, the employ
ment Office is asked to obtain them. If
there is Il shortage of the particular

the Job Family" study helps to find
workers with related or adaptable

workers to free vocational training
courses. But to expedite the training
process, the job analyst, working in
close collaboration with the Training
Within-Industr Division of the Office

employer plan an On-the-jOb training
program.
''Throughout the country, there are
striking illustrations of Americas in

Countless instances of the changes
taking place are to be found every

DisdvoWs Doctrine
Of Class Wurfure
Hutters' Union Answer To
Trade Commission
Charge

New York City ULNS).-Disavowal
of the concepts of the class struggle
and MARKHAM economic dogma figure
in the novel defense offered by the
United HatterS, Cap and Millinery
Workers International Union and it's
the Federal Trade Commission that
they have violated the antitrust laws

operative organization of employer as
Socations and the union in the New
York metropolitan area.
In the unions answer to the Trade
commission charges, filed by Nj. Her
bert Syme of Philadelphia, union
counsel, the union maintains that its
activities were carried on in pursuance
of the doctrine that the welfare of enl-
ployers and employees are ineXtricably
interviewer.
MARKHAM Concepts RenOlInced
"Respondent unions disavOw the con-
cepts of class consciousness and
MARKHAM economic dogma" the answer
states. They renounce the doctrine
that there is an eternal struggle be-
tween employers and employees that
must finally eliminate in the Dictator
ship of the Proletaria.'
'The welfare of employers and en-
ployeS in our American economy is in
eXtricably interviewer. The establish
ment of fair trade practices, the curb
ing of sharp fluctuations in employ
ment, efficient business management
and commercial stability, are the sine
qua non i'm the maintenance of adequate
wage levels, decent hours just working
conditions, and fair labor Standards y
The unions answer states that these
are the objectives of the Millinery
Sterilization Commission. 1t denies
that these activities have fOstered or
created a monopoly in restraint of
trade.
Fair Competition Promoter
"On the contrary" says the unions
answer, the cooperative endeavors OF
the employers and the union in the
commission, have promoted fair and
free competition, atfOrding the greatest
opportunity to employers in the indus
try. The release from the constant
threat of industrial strife has left the
employers free to pursue their tasks
unhampered. Relief from industrial
warfare has rebounded to the advan-
tage of the consumer During the eX-
iStence of the commission, production
has increased, rather than decreased.
The consumer today can purchase mil
inery at Il price that is substantially
lower than the price level prevailing
prior to the establishment of the COM
mission"
The unions answer sets forth that
the commission was established as a
cooperative effort to bring SOME degree
of stability into the economic chaos of
the millinery industry. 1t points out
that the commission was the OutgrOwth
of the establishment of Il fact finding
body appointed at the suggestion of
Mayor Lii GIlardia in 1897 as one of
the conditions for the settlement of Il
three week strike and lockout that had
paralyZed the industry. 1t was as Il re-

was for an initial order of 5000
Stretchers, made of ash and canvas.
Since prison products cannot be sold in
