Unity can be established, they

"That there is a will for labor

sponsored by public utility lob
byists, which if successful,
would have meant increased
electric rates for the little peo-
pie.
The a m m n d m e n is would
have cut the Interior Depart
ment appropriations for build
ing power transmission lines
from government dams in the
southwestern part of the coun-
try.
AS a result, the government
will now be able to build lines
to distribute the power it pro-
duceS, and private utilities will
no longer have a monopoly on
the cheap power that belongs
to the people.
Among the chief beneficiaries
of public power transmission
lines and the resulting lower
electric rates are farmers. Farm
ers are usually subjected to un-
reasonably high electric rates
in areas where electric power
is controlled by a private utility
monopoly.

Bricker was present and cast

"The time, therefore, for the
AFL and CIO to act is now. 1t
is up to the leadership to exert
its influence beginning on this
Labor Day, 1949, to determine
to have united house of labor
within the year.
"These gentlemen hold in their
hands for Is million workers
their wages and hours, seniority
and working conditions, sick
benefits and pensions that are
continually being threatened and
menaced by the persistent divi-
sion in labor's ranks.
why can't both the AFL and
CIO launch the campaign for
amalgamation with the slogan
unity within the year, proclaim
ing it from every park, rostrum
or picnic ground where a labor
celebration is held, promote il

halls?
Let labor union speakers
broadcast it to the nation, tell
it to the world-unity within

that there are problems, perhaps
numerous and many of them
weighty that will have to be
considered. But whatever they
are, they are human problems

RaiImen Rap Mean
Trick OF Railroads

CHICAGO LPA) - Leaders
of Railroad Brotherhoods are up
in arms over an attempt by
some railroads to deprive rail
workers of the use of free passes
for train travel weekends.
The Pennsylvania, Americas
largest railroad, led the way
with a circular to all its work
ers calling upon them to stay off
the trains Saturdays and Sun
days, except in emergencies"
or for special reasons.
The "Pennsy" timed the de-
cree with the Inauguration of the
40-hour week for "non-operat-
ing" workers. Out of nearly a
million such employees who
went on the shorter week, the
great majority now have Satur-
days and Sundays off-and for
perhaps the first time in their
lives they're able to go on two
day weekend trips to beaches,
fishing sites, or to other amuse-
ments.
If they're stripped of pass pri-
vileges on those days, that would
take the joy out of the hard-won
five-day week, union leaders
said.
If the railroads really go
through with a attempt to take
away the right of railmen to
travel on passes during week
ends, we'll fight back" declared
President c. E. Leighty of the
Railroad TelegraRhers, who is
chairman of the joint bargaining
committee of the unions repre-
senting the incorporating

|So|id Colonial Table
costs Few Dollars
And Bit Of Carpentry
BY DouqIos Tuomey

If you have been looking for .
solid, pleasing Colonial table. you
can have it if you want to spend
a few dollars for lumber and are
capable of doing a bit of plain
carpentry.
The table described was built
by a Connecticut cabinet-maker
to complete a dining-room set with
six fine, old Windsor chairs and q
long, open serving table or side
board. While the original was
made Of cherry, the table may be
built of ordinary fir. pine or
maple. and stained and finished
as desired.
8 Pieces Of 2-by-4.
The building starts with cutting
eight pieces Of 2-by-4 for the
double cross-trees which form the
feet and the tabletop supports.
These are each 2 feet long and
the ends are beveled down. The
next step is to set a 30-inch length
between pairs Of the cross-trees to
furnish two leg assemblies. These
are screwed together solidly. The
final step is to lay the three H.
inch wide planks across the top Of
the cross-trees and fasten them in
with screws. The entire table top
measures 5 feet in length and 80
inches in width.
For q particularly good job. the
screws should be countersunk and
small wood pegs set. in the holes
to hide the screw-heads.
Stained and Shellacked.
The wood may be stained light
or dark mahogany or any type Of
wood wanted, and should be fin
ished with three or four coats Of
shellac rubbed down with steel

1900 Houses.
Single-family houses were
started at the rate Of 1000 or
more month during August, Sep
tember and October, bringing the
total for the first 10 months Of
this year to 1900.
SO far this year. the total num-
ber of single-family houses started
has exceeded last years total by
more than 230 units, though trail
ing below the total for the same
period in 1947.
Construction cost Of single
family houses, as reported by
builders, averaged $10.100 for the
first 10 months of this year, IN
comparison to $10,700 for those
started in the same period IN
1948.
For apartment projects. the
average cost per unit was esti-
mated at $6. 400 this year.
The averages, said BIS. are
affected by the size and type OF
the project as well as the cost OF
labor and material. Cost Of land
and site improvements are ex-
,1,,dsd from consideration in Strik.
ing averages.
Meanwhile, BIS and the Once
of Domestic Commerce OF the
Commerce Department reported
that new construction valued at
more than $1,700, ,000.0 was put
in place throughout the United
States during November.
Larger Than Last Year.
This volume boosted the years
construction total to SIT TOO. .000.-
600 by the end Of November
which was 2 per cent larger than
that for the first II months OF
last year. Private construction
Jagged by 5 per cent. but public
agencies spent Is per cent more
for new construction this year
than during the same period the
year before.
The November construction
total was down 8 per cent from
the revised october estimate. but
was still 8 per cent more than the
total for November, last year, the
agencies said.

struction activity SO late IN the

November was valued at $700. .000.-
900, 3 per cent less than the re-
vised estimate for October, but
IA per cent more than the Novem-
ber, 1948 figure.
Through November. however
the total value Of new nonfarm
residential construction put IN
place was still 5 per cent less In
l949 than In 1948, largely as
result Of the lag in BODYBUILDING
early this year.
Construction Of most types OF
private nonresidential structures
In November equaled or exceeded
October levels In contrast to sea-
sonal declines usually expected at
this time Of year. A small contra
seasonal advance in construction
Of stores. restaurants, garages
warehouses and Office buildings
resulted from the large volume OF
contracts let for these types Of
commercial buildings during Sep
tember and October.
Industrial, religious. and hospi-
tai construction also held up well
In November. .
Farm and public utility con-
struction declined seasonally.
Publicly financed construction
amounted to $466. .000, 900 in No.
vember, 13 per cent less than the
revised total for October, but Is
per cent more than in November
1948. Seasonal declines marked
all principal types of public con-
struction activity. except educa-
tional building, which advanced
per cent, and hospital construc-
ton, which was off only slightly
from recent exceptionally high
levels.

Trend in Furniture
Is Toward Blond or
BIeached Type Woot

THE modern trend in furniture
appears to be toward the blond OF
heached type Of wood. Many
home-owners who have redecorat-
ed their houses have refinished
and recovered the furniture in this
modern style, and the complete
change in the house interior has
been most striking.
kIt is a fact that an old mahog-
any finished chair with a leather
Stat or a heavy tapestry seat, can
starcely be identified when the
wood frame is bleached and the
1&ather or tapestry replaced with
q bright orange or f1ower-pat-
tSrned cloth.
The real bleaching of a piece
Of furniture is done by painting
the wood with . solution Of lye.
This requires expert handling. as
tie lye eats through paint, varnish
or shellac with great rapidity, and
then attacks the wood itself and
takes every bit of color out Of 1t.
The lye must be removed
quickly and the wood washed
thoroughly with water to kill the
action of the lye. After drying,
the wood must be sanded to re-
move the light fuzz raised on the
surface by action Of the bleach.
tThe sayoa ef1ect as real bleach
ing is quite easily obtained by
using paint remover to get down
to the bare wood. then coating
the surface with white paint and
rubbing it well into the grain and,
after it has partly set. wiping 1t
off.
This leaves the wood with the
pale. bleached-out appearance de-
sired, plus white streaks in the
deep grains. The exact color and
finish of the surface is obtained
by rubbing with steel wool.
The finishing Of the job may be
done with a light wax, well rubbed
In; or with shellac. which is
rubbed lightly after 1t dries with
steel-wool to produce a satin
finish.
When an entire set Of furniture
Is being done, the first treatment
should be tried out on a small
pieces such as a stool or end table.
