* PASTERERS EARN " VERY HIGH WAGE Some in New York Making as ~ Minch as $119 a Week- New York, Aug. 6.—As predicted in building trade circles two months ago, “snowballing” has begun in the plas- tering trade, The demand for plas- terers is now reacning its peak and the mechanics, whose agreed wage is $12 a day, are already receiving $14, while demands have in some instances been made on employefs to grant work at double rate, bringing the pay of plasterers up to $119 for a seven day weck. The plasterers are now in the posi- tion in which the bricklayers found themselves two months ago, when there was a demand for at least 10,000 bricklayers and a supply of hardly more than 6,000 available. It was then said that after the buildings in the course of construction were top- ped out the other trades would fol- low the example of the bricklayers and wages of $14, $16 and $18 for plasterers, plumbers, tile layers, mar- ble workers and painters would be the rule. ' Instead of following exactly the ex- ample of bricklayers and demanding higher bonuses for day's work and re- fusing to work overtime, the plaster- ers' demands have taken the line of insistence on overtime work. Accord- ing to Christian G. Norman, chair- man of the board of governors of the | building trades employers’ association, plasterers on some jobs quit when the eémployers refused to grant overtime Saturday and Sunday at double pay, making $42 for the extra day and a half. t Two weeks ago most of the plas- terers were receiving $12 a day, but since the great demand for their serv- {ces their wages have gone up to $14. As was the case in the bricklayers' dispute, employers and employes are blaming each other for the unsettled situation, the former declaring that the mechanics are threatening to quit unless they get overtime work, while the men allege that employers began the ‘“snowballing’” by offering double pay for overtime. Employers are awaiting with inter- est the attitude of the journeymen plumbers, whose services will be in great demand when the plasterers have finished their work. Several months ago the journeymen plumbers and the master plumbers agreed on a ‘wage of $10 a day, and in an attempt 1o eliminate “snowballing" the union promised to discipline any of its men who demanded higher wages, and the employers on their side said they would fine any members offering higher wages than the agreed scale. The agreement was then hailed as one that would stop “snowballing."” The trades whose services will be greatly in demand after the plasterers and the plumbers are through with their work are the tile layers, marble workers and painters. There is a scarcity of tile layers and marble workers, and there are already rumors of impending ‘“‘snowballing” in these crafts. * Despite the settlement of the brick- layers’ strike a month ago, the build- ing trades have not yet reached a point of stability. Yesterday 250 der- rickmen and riggers were ordered on strike by the Derrick and Riggers' union following the unsatisfactory conclusion of three months of negotia- tion with the employers for an in- crease of wages from $9 to $10 a day. Most of the men are employed by the Employing Stone Setter's Associa- tion.” Their work is to turn the ‘winches on the derricks that hoist the stone on buildings and to help unload the heavy blocks. The derrickmen work with the marble and stone cut- ters, skilled mechanics whose dalily wage {5 $10. The employers contend that to grant the derrickmen the same wages would unsettle the situation with respect to the marble and stone cutters as well as the skilled men in other crafts, The derrickmen assert that in 1919 the employers promised there would be a differential of $2 between their wages and that of the stone setters, | who now recelve $12. The employers say that if the additional dollar is granted the derrickmen and stone cut- ters will insist on an additional dollar on the ground that there has always been a differential of $3 betwéen their craft and the derrickmen, who are| considered experienced laborers and not ‘skilled workingmen. If the strike should continue it will | tie up all the front stonework now going on in New York, but will not affect interior work. 'PROCESS INCREASES - MOTOR FUEL YIELD Ford Company Trying New Pro- | oess at River Rouge Plant | Detrait, Aug. 6.—Process to increase fivefold the amount of motor fuel produced from each ton of coal will be put into effect shortly at the River Rouge plant of the Ford Motor com- | | pany here. This announcement is made by Wallace Campbell, vice-presi- dent of the Ford Motor company of Canada in connection with the start- |ing of work on a similar ‘plant for distilling benzol from coal, to be lo- | cated at Ford, Ontario. Under the new plan low tempera- ture distillation will replace the pres- ent high temperature process. Pres- ent methods give 2.2 gallons of benzol, 7,000 feet of gas, 8 gallons of tar and 30 compounds of sulphate ammonia from each ton of coal, leaving a resi- due of 1,140 pounds of coke. Under the new process, as explained by Mr. Campbell, Ford engineers will obtain 10 gallons of benzol, 4,000 feet of gas, 20 gallons of tar, 3 gallons of creo- sote and there will be a residue of 1,- 500 pounds of -coke. Creosote is not obtained under the present method | of distillation. Will Incrase Value It is estimated that the low tem- perature distillation of coal, as plan- ned, will increase the value of the product of each ton of coal by $2.00. The River Rouge plant will be able to distil 4,000 tons of coal a day, or an increased productivity of $8,000, while the Canadian distillery will han- dle 400 tons a day. { resuit of experiments carried on for the Ford company by Emil Piron, a New York chemist, and V. Z. Cara- cristi, a New York consulting engi- neer. The practicability of the plan was tested in a demonstration fac- tory recently built at Huntington, West Virginia. As soon as the pro- cess had been satisfactorily demon- strated, plans were made for instal- ling the system in Ford plants here ({and in Canada.

Gets Job in New York to Learn First Handed New York, Aug. 6.—Princess Meer Damady, direct descendant on the ma- ternal side from the Safavid dynasty of far-away Persia and daughter of |a Hadji, a Moslem who has made a pilgrimage to the sacred shrine at Mecca, arrived in New York wecently to study American customs and taste of American freedom. She is working in the novelty factory of Charles Bloom, 15 East Twenty-sixth street, as the first step in her study. In Sep- tember she will enter Wells college at Aurora, N. Y., to specialize in economics and sociology. “Those are things I must lear sald the princess, discussing her pro- gram, “because if 1 am to help the women of Persia I must learn to do everything here in America. In Persia people do not think very highly of work with the hands. At first I was very enthusiastic for the work, but now I am—what do you call it?— ‘fed up.' " The princess intends to return to Persia to campaign against Oriental ideas of how to treat women. It is only in the last 20 years, she said, that liberal western ideas had begun to leaven Persian society through the influence of American missionaries. A few girls now receive an education in the mission schools and in turn teach their country women. Education has been denied women because it was feared they would write love notes if they knew how to write. “But,” sald Princess Damady, “they wrote them anyway. They got some- one to write them."” “My brother would kill himself,” said the princess in reply to a re- | quest for a photograph, “if he saw me unveiled in a picture in a news- paper. He is on a pllgrimage to the sacred shrine with his wife now. They have gone away and left six children in the care of the servants. The eldest is only 15 years. They pendence, Kas. Brief News Dispatches Fro‘All. Over the Aorld Harding funeral train is suddenly halted at Chappell, Neb,, when tire slips from locomotive driving wheel; train proceeds after delay of about thirty-five minutes. Gov. Jonathan M. Davis of Kan- sas is reported seriously ill from in- fluenza, at executive mansion in To- peka. Mrs. Harding requests simplicity in funeral services for late President with" as little display as possible in Washington and Marion. President and Mrs. Coolidge at. tend services at First Congreégational church in Washington, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Stearns of Boston. Mrs. Harding asks that body of president be accompanied from Wash- ington to Marion only by those with ——eeee— e spend thousands of dollars on those pilgrimages. Those are some of, the things 1 want to end.” Shortly before Princess Damady left Persia a girl educated in the American mission school at Teheran appeared on the street without a veil and was arrested and put in jail for three months, she said. ‘When the princess was leaving Persla she started in company with an English missionary. At the bor- der they were halted for their pass- ports. When the Persian officials saw that her father bore the title Hadji, Indicating that he had been to the shrine at Mecca, one said to his companion in French, “C'est ridi- cule.” Princess Damady started her cam- paign for equal rights for women at that moment. She turned on him sharply and demanded: “What s ridiculous about it? I am a human being. I am entitled to seek an education where I will and try to help my people. There s nothing ridiculous about it at all” | Her dark eyes snapped as she re-| lated the incident, and it was not difficult to imagine that even an Orientai customs official did not falk back to her. “I do not want to Americanize whom he spent the last days of his life, Negro is taken fro Sardls, Miss,, by mol after reported confession upon white woman. county jail at and hanged to attack Gen, Lee Christmas shows improve- ment at New Orleans after blood transfusion operation. —_— Woodrow Wilson authorizes state- ment that he will varticipate in Harding funeral ceremonies at Wash- ington Wednesday “as far as possible.” Fifty houses are damaged and seven persong injured by freakish wind storm at West Springfleld, Mass.

This will leave but two cases of scarlet fever and two cases of diphtheria the only cases un- der quarantine in the city. RESIGNS FROM COMMISSION Although Mayor Paonessa has not as yet received the resignation of R. J. Dixon as a member of the build- ing commission, Mr. Dixon will resign from the commission it became known today and a letter so stating is on its way to the mayor's office. Mr. Dixon intends going south this winter and is resigning at this time so as to per- mit the city to have plenty of time to break in a new man. He says he will give his services for the next Perslan women,” she sald, "but to Persianize them along the lines of month or two to help train his suc- cessor.
