FIRST AID to the
- AILING HOUSE
! by Roger C. Whitman
Dusty Concrete Floor

DUSTY Concrete FLOOR
QUESTION: We have just built
a house, and our cellar has
smooth floor. But when we dance
on it, it becomes very dusty. The
more we sweep the dustier it gets.
Could you recommend something
to put on it to keep it from dust
ing? If there is some kind of paint
we could use, what is it?
ANSWER: There are special
paints for concrete floors some of
which have a rubber base. These
will also cure the dusty condition.
There are other ways of finishing
a cellar floor, such as with asphalt
tile. There is also an Inexpensive
method of hardening dusty con-
crete with waterglass solution.
But if this is used, the floor can
not be painted afterward. There
are commercial hardeners that do
permit painting later on, however.

The Georgia Press Association

weeks after her scratched and
bruised body was found in the

Exclusion of all but persons con-
nected with the case was ordered
by Hastings Court Judge Dirk A.

admitted. however.
A week has been set aside on
the court docket for the case
and a panel of 66 men has been
summoned so that a jury Of Ia
can be selected. Women are not
permitted to serve as jurors in

the case here, some observers feel
that it will be impossible to select

Bias Against Labor
Charged 10 Denham
By AFL Union Chief

LAKE PLACID. N. Y, June Is
Richard L. Gray. president OF
the Building and Construction
Trades Department of the AFI
. said today that Robert N. Den
ham, general counsel of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board.
was biased against labor"
Mr.. Gray also contended that
Mr.. Denham was unfair In his
administration of the Taft-Hartley
law"
Mr.. Gray addressed the fourth
mid-year meeting of the building
industry employers Of New York
State.
He did not elaborate other than
TO say that Mr.. Denham helped
write the Taft-Hartley Act and
now "pretends he is merely ad-
ministering a law given to him
by Congress"
Referring to the Congressional
Record. Mr.. Gray said Senator
r. c. Donnell, Republican. of Mis-
souri,, was quoted by Senator
Pepper. Democrat, of Florida. as
saying that Mr.. Denham had
furnished him with a memoran-
dunn on provisions to be enacted
into the law"
Says Denham was "Gratified."
Mr.. Gray said Mr.. Denham later
Stated to a Senate committee
that he was exceedingly gratified
to learn that all Of his recon-
mendations had been accepted and
made part Of the law"
Mr.. Gray did not specify the
provisions suggested by Mr.. Den
ham.
Informed of Mr.. Gray's remarks
Mr.. Denham told a reporter that
in late 1916 Senator Donnell had
asked him to submit suggestions
on how the Wagner act could be
improved.
Mr.. Denham added that before
Senator Donnell received the sug-
Restions, the Senate committee
had practically completed draft
ing the Taft-Hartley Act.
Mr.. Gray's remarks were made
In reply to an address by Mr.. Den
ham to the building industry en-
ployers Thursday night. At that
time. Mr.. Denham said he was
"intolerant" of jurisdictional dis
putes and he warned labor unions
that the NLRB would take quick
decisive action in settling such
disputes.
Calls Administration Rigged.
Mr.. Gray also said the Taft
Hartley Act and its administration
was "rigged against labor in many
instances and denies labor its
right to be heard" He added that
1t was unfair, unjust and un-
equitable to deny all parties their
day in court"
Mr.. Gray also referred to the
AFL's termination on June / of q
14-month-old agreement between
the Building Trades Department
and National contractor groups
under which labor and manage.
ment, with an impartial chair.
man, settled jurisdictional dis.
putes.
He said the union acted because
"there was evidence that some o1
the contractors weer going behine
our backs and urging owners oI
building projects to file complaint.
with the NLRB."
Mr.. Gray voiced the hope thai
calm minds would prevail" unit
an agreement was reached thai
would be fair to management anc
