"J. D. Adams Factory Here Doubles] Hiumination With Dead White Paint|
or ROGER BUDROW
1 ALWAYS THOUGHT PAINT WAS JUST PAINT. It n't. If you think so, you should see what has happened n the J. D. Adams road machinery factory here. Not long ago, P. C. Yoke, plant engineer, decided there t for the men to work by. So he made tested and read up on paint exnents. Then he ordered everything in the factory, ceiling, pipes, overhead cranes, etc., down to a few feet from the floor painted a gleaming white.

What a difference! By actual pasurement of light, the illuminaon in the Adams factory has been
¢ creased two to three times.
2 Mr. Yoke then went into the tool room and got: rid of what, in’ the trade, they call “machine tool gray.” He had all the machinery painted a much lighter gray. That made a further : improvement. So he will: have all Mr. Budrow ihe machinery in the place painted a light gray. * The next step was changing over to fluorescent lighting which stepped up illumination to four or five (times the original illumination. Now Mr. Yoke is getting ready to ‘fry something else in “paint engiring.” It is called “spotlight- >» The most familiar example the white golf ball against a fairway, What if the ball Ee green?

Per Man 2% Times Our Shipbuilders.
a LONDON, Sept. 25 (U. P).—A § British newspaper today praised the | [feat of Henry J. Kaiser, Pacific | |coast shipbuilder, in turning out a 10,000-ton Liberty ship in 10 days. : “Never before has there been such of Indusisia) Seganisaon,”
to men employed, the Amershipping output still was far behind the British, adding that “the output per man of the workers in British shipyards is two and onehalf times greater than that of individual workers in any other coun-
States employs eight times as many men as Britain in shipbuilding. It pointed out that American yards operate on a 24-hour day, whereas British shipbuilders work only 10 hours and close down because of blackout regulations. “Unlike the British, who had unfortunate experiences with such things in the last war,” it said, “the United States sends prefabricated materials to. the shipyards.”
Use 250 tp a Ship i
The newspaper said British shipbuilders employ an average of 250 men fo each ship berth, and rarely more than 300, compared with 850 men employed on a single ways in the United States. “Yet there Is one yard in this country producing a 10,000-tonner every month,” it continued. “It takes 250 men about 48 shifts. The New American record has taken 850 men 30 shifts, plus time taken by thousands . of workers in shops where the parts for American ships are prefabricated.

Traders Awalt Outcome of AntisInflation Bill; Soy- | beans Inactive.
CHICAGO, Sept. 25 (U. P.)— Grain futures continued today to Suctusts narrowly pending the outcome of anti-inflation legislation. Wheat was off %-% cent at the end of‘ the first hour, corn unchanged to off % cent, oats up % to % cent and rye unchanged to up % cent; soybeans were inactive. The wheat pit opened quietly with prices easing in sympathy with the cotton recession and talk of a compromise on the parity amendment.

3-Day Cleveland Dispute To Be Negotiated;
Pressure Exerted.
CLEVELAND, Sept. 25 (U. P.).~ | Strikers at the Aluminum Co. of | America plant voted at noon today to return to work pending the sete tlement of a dispute which caused a three-day interruption of proe duction. Alex Balint, district director of the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers union (C. IL 0.), said the strikers would begin returning to work at the 3 p. m. shift. | He said other shifts were expected to follow suit, A conference will be ‘arranged with company officials this aftere noon, Balint said, to negotiate the issues which caused the strike, ine cluding “unadjusted grievances” on wages and a bonus. Company spokesmen said they “understood” that the strikers had voted to return to work but added that they would wait until the 3 p. m. .shift to “see the proof of the pudding.” The strike, which started Tuese day when 225 workers in the plant’s key smelter division walked out, has crippled the production of aluminum ingots needed by 7000 workers in other departments. They were joined yesterday by 200 other elter workers. > S. army air force investigators predicted earlier today that the government would take steps to end the strike. Later, the war labo® board in Washington sent a telee gram to Balint asking him to get the men back to work. Balint said he had not received the WLB telegram up to the time the strikers voted to return. Manufacturers outside Cleveland earlier were reported to be exe erting pressure upon the WLB to settle the walkout to avert a threate ened shortage of ingots which are used in making castings for aire: craft engine blbcks and other are mament equipment.
