Start Fall Season With Clean Darkroom

If your darkroom is as musty
as a night club At am, now is
the time to get 1T In shape for the
cold weather months. Long
months of disuse due to the sticky
heat of summer have undoubtedly
left their mark on your home
laboratory and If you didn't bother
to clean 1t up last spring. the
chances are that it is a sorry sight.
Aside from the esthetic stand
point you will have to pitch in
and give your workroom good
going over just to be on the safe
side because dirt, neglect, and dis
order are the prime enemies of
the darkroom worker.
Take everything out of the lab
from chemicals, film and paper
to the enlarger and contact
printer. The main reason for
this is that dust will very likely
be present in quantity from one
end of the room to the other. Nov
ing boxes and bottles while you
dust is not enough. Get every
thing out. Then go to work.
Ordinary dirt and dust that is
tracked in to the darkroom on
shoes is bad enough. 1t settles on
glass surfaces of your film car
rier, enlarging lens, or contact
printer. It sticks to the surface
of negatives, to be magnified into
giant blobs on your prints.
Use q Vacuum Cleaner.
This kind of dust is fairly easy
to get rid of. You can take q
vacuum cleaner in and give the
room a thorough cleaning. Pay
particular attention to corners and
cracks in shelving. Also use the
cleaner on drawers and cabinets,
both inside and out. But don't
stop here. -
Far more insidious and harm
full is chemical dust. This starts
floating around each time you pull
cork from a bottle, every time
you mix a batch of developer,
Shortstop. or fixing bath and
whenever you slop few drops of
the mixtures on the floor or shelf
film forms that turns into dust.
Then when you walk around the
darkroom or move containers
over the chemical patches little
clouds Of chemical dust rise and
float around the room and wind
up on your films and prints and
in your working solutions.
A more forceful treatment is
needed to rid your darkroom of
this menace. Go over the entire
place. from top to bottom, with
soap and water, using a rag on
the walls and shelves and a good
mop on the floor. After this a
thorough rinsing Of al surfaces
with clear water should leave the
darkroom in good shape.
If the walls of your darkroom
are made Of plywood or one of
the more porous substitutes you
can get in a little preventive
maintenance by coating top and
sides with a good grade OF paint.
This will fill up the small crevices
and surface irregularities that
are hard to keep clean. The floor
should then be painted with a
rubber base paint. Ordinary

a catch-all for a lot Of useless
odds and ends of outdated paper.
broken exposure meters and other
useless equipment. Start out fresh
with the determination that your
workroom is there only for the
purpose of processing films and
prints and see to it that nothing
but those things that you will
need are moved back in.
AS final suggestion we urge
you to buy. if you do not already
have one, a large metal garbage
can to use as a waste basket.
This can be painted on the inside
with a chemical resistant paint.
Wood and composition trash bas-
kets have no place in the dark
room because they absorb much
of the harmful chemicals that go
into them by way Of wet discard
prints and film.

tempt to settle the strike. In a
statement later Mr.. Glover said:
''We have informed the Secre-
tary of the Army that the Switch
mems Union of North America
will restore full and complete
service on the Chicago, Rock Is
land & Pacific Railroad Co. WheI
and If the Government seizes the
profits of that railroad as well as
the labor of free men.
1.-THE President has said that
the United States is not at war.
Is the democratic President of a
democratic country saying that no
railroad union can conduct legal
strike in peacetime?"
AS authority to take over the
railroad, Mr.. Truman used law
passed in 1916 to assure operation
of the carriers in World War /.
1t is still on the statute books and
was last used in May, 1948, to
take over all of the railroads when
three unions. including the
Switchmen, threatened general
strike.
Wouldn't Work Under Seizure.
However, in 1948 also the unions
refused to work under seizure, but
they called off the strike when
the Government obtained an in
junction in District Court.
The Switchmen on June Is
struck against five Western rail-
roads, but they called off the
stoppage against all except the
Rock Island when Mr.. Truman
threatened drastic action. At the
time the President called the
strike unjustified and said it was
stopping shipment of grain and
cattle.
The union held then that cur
tailment of the strike had removed
the emergency. It said it would
continue the strike against the
Rock Island, contending that other
carriers served the same territory.
Lets see them make an emer-
gency out of that" a union Spokes-
man said then.
Pressure for an end of the strike
has been building up since hostili-
ties began in Korea.
Demand 5-Day Week.
The switchmen struck in sup
port of demands for a 40-hour,
five-day week at the same pay
they now get for a six-day week.
A presidential emergency board
recommended a 40-hour week
with an 18-cent an hour pay
boost, about half the amount the
switchmen are demanding. The
union rejected it.
Mr.. Glover released what he
said was the unions latest pro-
posal for settling the strike. The
union said it made this proposal
Friday night. In turning down the
third Government request to end

Of these. only Mr.. Mahoney is
given much of a chance in the
primary against Gov. Lane, who
is seeking his second term.
Mr.. Mahoney, former State
racing commissioner, spoke warm
ly of Senator Tydings. But he
commented that the Senator
might run into difficulties in some
counties.
Senator Tydings declared he
was prepared to meet such
troubles and recalled 1888, when
President Roosevelt tried unsuc-
cesSfully to purge him. "I have
always loved trouble" he grinned.
Senator Tydings said:
Il belong to a party that has
many faults. Any man who says
that a party is faultless is not
telling the truth"
But, he added, Americans were
better off under Democratic than
Republican administrations.
Senator Tydings stressed the
necessity of a firm stand against
Russia in Korea.
Mr.. Mahoney, before Senator
Tydings' address, took note of
Gov. Lanes absence and said it
was because he is spending all of
his time trying to get Howard
jackson (former Baltimore may
or or some other candidate to
run against Tydings."
The Senator indirectly brushed
this off later, saying: st don't

called to Gov. Williams:
"Soapy, you don't deserve it.
I don't blame you, but I've served

of his family connection with soap

The warden said most of the
prisoners in the mess hall went
away quietly when the alarm
whistle was blown.
"A few tried to get into it, but
I know who they are and they
will be taken care Of" the warden
said.
He added that State police from
the Marquette post arrived quickly
and were prepared to quell any
general rioting.
All Upper Peninsula State police
were ordered to the prison, leav-
ing only one State trooper at each
post.
