ROOF COATING 



* Leaking Roofs cause large losses in feed and equipment — as 

 well as the ultimate destruction of buildings. These losses can be 

 stopped either by adding a ne\v roof or by reviving the old one ^vith 

 I.F.S. ROOF COATING at 3/4C per square foot. 



LF.S. ROOF COATING stops rust on old metal roofs, — seals 

 broken seams and fills expanded noil holes. A metal roof will never 

 wear out if kept protected with LF.S. ROOF COATING. 



* LF.S. FIBROUS ROOF COATING revives 

 the felt of old composition roofs which have 

 dried out and cracked open. This is an 

 especially prepared roof coating — gives 

 long time protection and wear.

 roundly con- 

 demns the labor organizers, the C.I.O. 

 and its leader, John L. Lewis. He sees 

 nothing in the Committee for Industrial 

 Organization but a bid for power and 

 domination of industry and politics by 

 Lewis. He reads a paper which is notori- 

 ous for coloring its news. And I must 

 admit that reading the same paper 1 

 had come around to the belief that it is 

 high time to call a halt on the high- 

 handed methods of labor leaders whose 

 chief interest, it sometimes appears, is 

 in getting a checkoff on the worker's 

 pay envelope. 



It's easy to read one side of a case 

 and make up your mind. A lot of folks 

 do just that . . . the reason there is so 

 much prejudice among metropolitan 

 newspaper readers against a national 

 program for agriculture. I had about 

 come to the conclusion that the C.I.O. 

 is a racket. Then in came a man whose 

 honesty and integrity I respect. He 

 threw some light on the other side of 

 the picture. 



He pointed out that work in the steel 

 mills is exceedingly hard and dangerous; 

 that the steel workers have never been 

 organized, never had a real voice in 

 managing their own affairs, in securing 

 better working conditions. He reminded 

 me that the United States Steel Corp. 

 had signed an agreement with the labor 

 organization when a majority of the 

 workers voted to allow it to represent 

 them in collective bargaining; that this 

 company was having no strikes or trouble. 

 He compared the tactics of the inde- 

 pendent steel company heads to those 

 used by a certain milk distributor during 

 a producer's milk strike. In that contro- 

 versy gangsters employed by the distribu- 

 tor were largely responsible for the de- 

 struction of the company's milk trucks — 

 an effort to arouse public opinion against 

 striking farmers. 



Then you read this from "a Steel - 

 worker's Wife": "I, too, am a steel 

 worker's wife, but 1 think Stan Lee 

 Kapustka is right. The C.I.O. is a 

 real godsend. Nly husband works at a 

 steel mill which has signed a contract 

 with the C.I.O. insuring the present 

 minimum wage scale. Men are now 

 treated as human beings instead of in- 

 dustrial slaves. The plant's working con- 

 ditions are improved considerably and the
