WIRING LACK HALTS
SAVING OF LABOR
Tight-Fisted Builders Blamed
for Limiting of Use of
Electrical Devices.
Tight-lsted builders and back
number architects are blamed by a
Pacific coast eJectrical society for
obstructing the wider use of home
labor saving devices by America's
overworked housewives.
Thousan4s of women still bend
over the washtub, hundreds of thou
sands are still condemned to un
counted heufs of dishpan drudgery,
millions still sweat and suffer at the
ironing board, because designers and
builders of dwellings fall or refuse
to provide the wiring connections
which would permit these menial
tasks being done by electrical ma
chinery.
"Ask any electrical dealer what
limits most of his sales of appli
ances," says this authority, "and you
will almost always get the same an
swer, I. e.. the premhises are not wired
to accommodate the articles, and,
moreover, In the case of washing ma
chines, ironing machines, dish wash
ers, and ranges) no space has been
provided in laundry or kitchen in
which to locate thfem.
"The buyer then faces the expense
of alterations and additional wiring,
which, to the average housewife,
seems extravagant and perhaps pre
hibitive, and which, we must admit,
is all out of proportion to what the
cost would have been had these
simple requirements beene provided
when the house was built."
"Although the prospective buyer
may have been sold on the electrical
idea and really wants the device, be
ing willing to pay its purchase price,
there is a psychological reaction and
revulsion of feeling on the point of
paying, in addition, the cost of rem
edying the result of someone's neglect
or oversight in the way of wiring.
"With a feeling akin to resertmont.
the prospect may throw up her hands
and decide to do w'thout, consoling
herself with the thought tat she
cannot afford such an outlay. (As a
matter of fact, she is deceiving her
self because she can't afford, re
gardless of price, to do withou* a
mears of saving herself daily labor
or providing increased comforts.)
"You can imagine how this situa
tion is 'intensified if the prospect is
not the owner but merely a tenant of
the house and must, taierefore, pay
for wiring and outlets to be perma
nently Installed in her landlord's
premises. There is a point where
human nature -revolts at imposition.
Why, then, we are now entttled'to in
quire, is not the home, whether house,
flat, or apartment, property wired in
the first place to avoid such compli
cations?
"Practically all living abodes are
designed not by the ultimate owner
or tenant but by an architect or
building contractor, hence these voca
tions become a'link In the chain of
the trouble."
Adopting the slogan. "An Outlet
for Every Appliance." Californians
are rapidly overcoming this condi

Since her marriage she has virtually
been a prisoner in her room being
denied permission to go out alone.
Every time she "escaped" for a
short stroll some members of her
husband's family followed to make
sure she lived up to the code. For
infractions of the code she was con

placed on a platter outside the door,

Her husband has given her about
10 cents a week since their marriage,
though he earns $32 a week as a
chaufeur.
After the birth of her baby, her
father-in-law struck her with an iron
pail, and left a neighbor te carry her

without attention for forty-eight
hours.
Counsel for the husband denied that

men were wounded, one probably
fatally, in a riot near the estate of
John D. Rockefeller yesterday. Fight

Catskill baseball club, of Brooklyn,
who were passing Tarrytown on their
way to Ossining for a baseball game,
began to throw empty bottles from
busses at persons along the road.
One struck a policeman. When he
warned the Brooklynites to cease he
was answered with a volley of mis

the two held up six busses at the
point of their revolvers.
A veritable barrage of bottles was
laid down then, and more policemen
hastened to the scene, The fighting
lasted half an hour, and more than
100 persons took part.

A display .and sale of such extraordinary proportions that all previous
events are dwarfed-In comparison.
Merely to *nhpgunce our August Sale of Furs this year, without an explant
ation of the: chi $ condition of the Fur market, would be doing our customers
an iniustlc. - - -
To state it briefly: * - f
Raw pelts are now- low in price. There is, however, a great lak - skille4
labor, due to a strike which started several months ago (mention of which was
made in our June Sale annoutcement). The strike, is still on, with no indica
tion as to when it will end, and every furrier, designer and cutter in New York
is out. This condition has tied up the Fur industry to the extent that not - a
manufacturer is operating.
The strikers will not return to work unless they gain their points (shorter
hours and higher wages), and having accomplished this the extra cost which will have
to be added to every garment makes it practically impossible for Furs to- come
down in price. In fact, we are so certain that there will be no decline in
prices later in the season that we will guarantee the August Fur Sale price -until
December 1, 1920.
Fortunately, Lansburgh & Brother Furs were bought some time before the
strike, the assortment is the handsomestever assembled in August, the prices
are 25% to 40% lower than the present Fur market makes possible.
