O 5 years ago, when Curtis announced the Silentitc double-hung windowo reeearch work was gtarted on a companion product-dr "1osulnted" Casement Window. Now -having etood field and laboratory tests triumphantly-it, too, is announced as worthy oL the Silentitc name.

Thie new Silentiw Casemet* ie a complete unit, including all operating hardware, Ecreens and ineulating glass; and with all parts machined, pre-fit and carton-packed. All frame parts are interchangeableo permitting maximum turn-

Compared with steel caeements. thie new Insulntcd, wood cagement should save l7 out of every I00 fuel dollare! That'e the finding baeed on tests in the Pittsburgh Teeting Laboratory. Silentite is draftless. Raino snow, dirt or duet cannot seep through. And there's no rattling or ewinging in the winda fault of most caEements.

>k {< :F one subject, and ""r, """:""lonru, the center of attention of the employers of the nation today; the new hour and wage legislation now before Congress. The aim and purpose of same, allegedly, is to put more men to work by cutting down the amount of time each man may work, and to improve the living standards of the American workman. If we may judge from the widespread condemnation of the plan that we read and hear on all sides, there is considerable difference of opinion on the subject. The cry of "regimentation" and "dictatorship" rises much higher than it ever did during the lifetime of NRA.

The income tax evasion investigation now starting in Washington will pack the headlines when it gets under way. And it will serve to smoke-screen the fact that the Supreme Court pack effort is deader than a last year's bird nest. There is no chance for the proposition to pass, either in the original or modified form. Any compromise would be as bad as the original. The American people are not going to see the Supreme Couft become a political football.

The law proposes that maximum working hours and minimum wages shall be fixed by statute; and that a board of control be created to administer same. Some of the proponents of the bill urge that a flat rate be made for the entire country; others contend that differentials shall be established to fit the varied conditions that prevail in different sections. ***

It seems to me that this proposed legislation must come from the same mental hopper that created NRA (which no one of the Supreme Court judges, not even the so-called "liberals," could say a word in defense of), that plowed under the cloth crops when millions were naked, and destroyed the meat crop when millions were hungry. It is as practicable as the famous Potato Control Act, which would have compelled the housewife who raised her backyard full of potatoes to get a Government permit and a Government stamp before she could sell them to the corner grocer. It has all those same earmarks, in my small judgment. The theory is fine. Everybody work less, and thus absorb the unemployed, and at the same time give every worker more leisure to enjoy life. The only objection I see to it is that to save my soul I can't seem to apply it to the average business situation today, and make it fit.

To begin with, it would reduce the working hours and increase the wage of the average business. And when you reduce the hours and increase the wage scale, you increase the cost. Just so long as two and two continue to make four, that result will definitely follow. Which means the price must go up. If not, then the employer must swallow the increase, which would be just another tax-a very, very heavy tax<n his business. t!ft

Unless I have entirely l,ost the use of my reason, and likewise lost the ability to do simple addition and subtraction, the immediate result of the effectiveness of this proposed hour and wage law would be reduction of production, reduction of consumption, and slryrocketing of prices generally. And who does this help?

I can understand that in some of the highly mechanized industries they could comply with the terms of this proposed legislation, and continue to operate. But I am thinking of tens of thousands of places throughout the country, and particularly throughout the Southern States, where no possible twisting or turning that I can conceive of, would make it possible to comply with this law, and continue to operate. For instance, take a Southern sawmill of modest size, operating say 54 hours a week and paying 25 cents an hour. Reduce his maximum work week to '10 hours and increase his minimum wage to 40 cents, and there is no way on the face of this earth for that mill to run a single day. There are thousands upon thousands of such mills that would have no possible choice but to close for good. They are barely living under present conditions, eking out the most difficult existence possible. They can't operate an extra shift. They can't increase the cost of their lumber, and sell it at a profit. They would simply have to quit and let their men go back on relief.

It isn't only small mills that would find themselves in that fix. Small industries of every sort would be tarred with the same stick. And even the larger industries, where most of the cost of production is the labor payroll, would find themselves facing impossible problems. Industry isn't something that can be measured with the same measuring stick throughout. No two mills or plants in the same line of business have the same costs, the same problems. On all sides you will discover examples to prove that all industry cannot be measured by rule of thumb. I could fill tfiis vo-lume with cases that I personally have heard and read about'

No intelligent man can doubt that this proposed wage and hour law, if applied to the lumber industry, would greatly reduce production, increase costs, and lose tens of thousands of men their jobs via the shut-down route. And all these efforts at regimentation strike at the life of the less able worker. When NRA was in the offing and everyone knew they would have to reduce working hours and hire more people, what did thousands on thousands of employers do? You know as well as I do. Weeks before NRA became effective they weeded out their forces, fired all the weaker ones, and then when they reduced working hours and had to do some hiring, they took back on their payrolls only the best help they could find. The weak sisters and brothers went on relief. It invariably works that way. Raise a man's labor cost and he is going to be forced to get the best labor possible for the money he is forced to pay. ***

The lumber industry of the Southern States is organizing to contest the hour and wage legislation to its very utmost. They feel that if regulation of hours and wages come, regulation of prices will necessarily follow, and that there will be no stopping lfie efforts at regimentation. In fact, Secretary Wallace, undoubtedly speaking for the White House, declared in his recent address on "The Government's Future Role," that the Federal Government must become a "stabilizer," rather than an umpire, and must oversee all corporations, labor unions, and farm organizar tions, using the taxing power 31d regulation of wages' etc., to enforce its provisos.

He would be an "nntrrl"r,.r"l"ua, *no would doubt if this hour and wage legislation is passed, it will be only the first step in a campaign of regulation and regimentation of industry that will never be voluntarily terminated by this school of thought. Where it would lead, no man knoweth. The time to try to stoP this Juggernaut march is in this, the first step. Surely the man who breathed a sigh of relief when NRA died, and remarked, "Well, that's the end of all that monkey business," was too great an optimist. ft apparently was only the start.

Seth Butler Active In Fiesta

Seth L. Butter, well known San Francisco Bay district lumberman, Northern California representative for Dant & Russell, was one of those public spirited men who were responsible for the success of the recent Golden Gate Bridge Fiesta in San Francisco.

Mr. Butler was assistant parade director for the two great parades on Thursday, May 27, and Saturday, May D.

He is Captain of the California Grays, crack military organization, which had its largest turnout since 1932 in the parade on May 27.

It is interesting to note that Mr. Butler has been a member of the California Grays since 1905. He was a First Lieutenant in the World War, and has been Captain of the Gravs since 1919.
