In assembling the question naire data submitted for examination and consideration. Sine* the passage of the Walsh- Healy Aet, June 30, 1936. some 200 industries have had the wage provisions of the Aet applied to them and it was a ease of unusual recognition on the part of a Federal Government agency that SCPl was requested to work out the details of applying the wage pro visions of the Act to the structural clny products industry. This window display In the Architects' Building, Let Angeles. Calif., was et uo by Simons Brick Co. in conjunction with the Curtis Publishing Co. Its purpose was to counteract possible reflections on the clay products industry from an artie'e. 'Shakes." published in the Saturday Evening Post, in which earthquake damage was referred to in connection with a hollow tile and Br,ck high school of faulty design and construction.

SCPl Works Out Wage Application On May 5, 1938. Mr. Klingenfeld got in touch with the Institute, requesting that a discussion be held. Mr. Gravelle immediately took the matter^ under study and held several conferences with Mr. Klingenfeld. Further' action was suspended until after the annual con vention of SCPl. at which time the Labor Committee of the Institute was appointed. On February -3* 1533, the Labor Committee met with L.

In the technical papers on the program, emphasis is being placed on problems of decided sractica! interest to plant men--the papers listed on the following pages indicate this. We urge the clay men in attendance to participate freely In the discussion so that they may get the full benefit from ideas which generate from the technical sessions and hotel corridor confabs. Two general sessions on firing and on toxicology are arousing much enthusiasm. Refractories men will find much of value in the papers of their division. The ladies are not being neglected--'their tour of Toronto and Eaton's department store, luncheon at the Old Mill and tea at Eaton's, plus the dinner-dance and the "Night at the Pig and Whistle Tavern" will keep them well entertained. Toronto local committees in charge of arrangements ere as follows: Honorary chairmen: A. U. Cote, The CooksvIIIe Co.. Ltd.; Gen. C. H. Mitchell, Univ. of Toronto:. Wilfrid Mavor, Ferro Enamel Corp. Executive committee: Chairman, W. C. McGolpin, National Fireproofing Co.. Ltd.: secretary, Gordon C. Keith; president, Canadian Ceramic Society, H. A. Bevens, Insulation Products, Ltd. Our next issue will carry a complete eye-witness report of all the convention's activities. SCHEDULE OF AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY 42nd ANNUAL MEETING Sunday. April 7 Monday. April *. Tueedar.
