COUNCIL TURNS DOWN PERMIT ON GROSS BUILDING

City Council at special meeting last night turned down, under pre- sent plans proposed, the request of Harvey Hodge and Cliff Duffy to renovate the Gross building next to the bakery for business purpos- es. The Council decided the plans for renovation did not meet with the requirements of the building code which would provide for four and one-half hour resistant fire wall between the Gross build ing and the E. J. Wheeler bakery building.
 Hodge and Duffy appeared be- fore the Council and explained they had obtained a lease on the pro- perty and planned to renovate 1t to include a restaurant, automobile show room and hotel rooms on the second floor. They said they had not anticipated the construction of a costly fire wall in their plans. Dr. Wheeler, owner of the adjacent property, was present and said that he would insist on the flat roof provision of the building code be- ing complied with as a protection to his property.
 The Council appointed E. w. Hunter, street maintenance man, as fire marshal, replacing Dale Miller, former street man and now deputy marshal here.
 A first quarter deficit of $1,- 556.32 for the Bishop Rowe Gener- al hospital was authorized paid out of the health and education fund.

The AFL-CIO director Of or

the continued advance of the |
working men and women Of 4
America"
John w. Livingston described |
the existence Of vast pools of
unorganized workers as a threat |
to the well-being Of union mem
bers and to unions as institu-
lions.
Mr.. Livingston addressed 300
labor leaders at the CLIO !
Industrial Union Departments
two-day conference on the prob |
lens Of the white collar worker.
The big labor organization is
mapping plans for a huge drive
to unionize an estimated Is mil
lion salaried workers, and the
conference was called to stimu-
late interest and ideas. Only al
small percentage of these white
collar workers are now members
Of unions.
Manual Workers Gains
Through unionization," Mr..
Livingston said, manual work.
ers have equaled and surpassed
general Office workers in almost
every economic consideration"
The union lis the answer to
white collar workers problems, :"
MIR. Livingston said, and he
added that the AFL-C1o has
the resources to bring the fact
to the workers.
There will be no stopping
until the white collar worker has
been organized in every field,
in every region, in every State
and city in the land" he de-
clared.
Mr.. Livingston said ONCE
workers need to organize to pro-
tect themselves against loss Of
Jobs because Of introduction Of
automation, the industrial de-
velopment in which machines
and instruments are used to
handle tasks formerly performed
by workers. He said automation
is every bit as pressing q prob
lem In the ONCE as in the fac
tory.
Cites AutOmatiOn's Advantages
The principal speaker at last
nights session, DR.. Allen v.
Astin, director Of the Bureau
Of Standards, defended the de-
velopment of automation as Of
fering the opportunity Of i'm
proving the economic well-being
Of all people.
"Automation," he said, "can
be directed for good Of both
management and labor. ! do not
believe these machines should
be considered as competitors to
the labor market, rather I be-
lieve that computerS should be
considered as new tools avail
able to man."
