Win Prevailing Wage Rul
ing in Syracuse
Syracuse, N. Y.—Building forms
for concrete is carpenters' work. The
prevailing rate of wages for carpen
ters in Syracuse on June 17, 1930,
was $1.20 an hour.
This was the decision of State In

the Bates & Rogers Construction

Chicago. The decision is a victory for
the union.
The company had the contract for
the erection of a road viaduct here,
which was the first construction step
in the elimination of grade crossing?..
Part of the work was building
forms for concrete. Although the men
who built the forms used saws and
hammers, the contractors claimed the
work was not carpentry and paid the
workers 80 cents an hour. The union
claimed the work was carpentry, and
that the men were carpenters and en
titled to the union rate as the legal
prevailing wage rate.

BEWARE OF ASH
CAN HATS
New York City (ILNS)—Hatters
and reputable iiat dealers are up
against the ash can hat—and many
an unwary male buys an ash can hat
and doesn't know it until he suspects
its ancestry by its brevity of life.
The high-standard union made hat
is one guarantee against ash can
quality, but back to the story of the
ash can hat.
Always something of a factor, re
cent months have brought this re
claimed relic into much wider use.
The ash can hat comes from city
dumps, largely. Gathered there, the
discarded felts are baled and auc
tioned at 15 to 25 cents a pound,
ranging about three hats to the pound.

and sweat band, they are sold by re
finishing plants at $7.50 to $14 a
dozen, retailing at $1.50 to $2.50 each.
Chain stores giving a free hat with a
suit use them, too.
New York has 30 refinishing plants.
The country buys about 250,000 doz
ens of these hats yearly, with business
growing. Recently many plants had
to shut down until shipments from
Pacific coast dumps could arrive.
Hats left in hat stores bring a
higher price at the refinishing plants
and turn out a trifle better product.
The federal trade commission is
reported leisurely looking into this
new hat competition.

COTTON MILL WORK
ERS STRIKE
Salisbury, N. C. (ILNS)—Over200
cotton mill workers in the Klumac
mills are idle as a result of a strike
of about 100 weavers who walked out
in protest against a 5 per cent wage
cut, according to local papers. This
plant is unorganized and union "agi
tation," so-called, cannot be blamed
for the situation.

ERHAPS It's a healthy trait
that most human beings like
and are drawn to bright and
glittering objects. At Christ*
mas time this craving Is sat*
isfted in a hundred ways.
When we are children we
look with awe upon the
shimmer of tinsel on Christmas trees.
The wings of the angel on the top
most peak seem like the wings of
those heralds above Bethlehem who
announced the coming of the Christ
child. Our eyes shine half blinded by
the glory of legend and expectation.
When we are older we become (as
wo think) more sophisticated. Tinsel
on a larger scale. Bright lights, beau
tiful decorations, dazsllng entertain
ment. The same child-like needs trans
posed into a more worldly manifesta
tion. But we can't quite forget the
stars or the moon. They attract us
with a strange delight.
And when we are quite old and wise
we know and admit that we must rely
on something which shines beyond us,
a bit out of reach. We remember the
breathless moments of childhood and
the blazing Christmas tree. We knew
wonder In those days and found it
precious.
We think of later years somewhat
obscured by false values. Something
more than tinsel: something less than
simple pleasures—glitter, certainly,
but little of that quality which yields
the magic of happiness.
So perhaps we forget the middle
years and go back to the earlier ones,
feeding on the first Joys of childhood.
The long festoons swinging graceful
ly among the green branches of the
tree! The glimmer of make-believe
Icicles, the powder of make-believe
snow, the cheerful flames of candles
and the laughter of people we loved.
