Master Builders Resist ^ as:e Hike Association Fears Increase ill Discourage I'xpecled Building Boom in Spring. The Master Builder*' Association of Nebraska went on record yesterday *« ahing opposed to "any material Increase In wage* for building trades men" and also against Increases In material prices. Grant Parsons, president, explained that the resolution was passed be cause the association fears any large increase In wages or building material prices would "discourage a building boom expected (his spring." "We don't wish to antagonize labor. Bor do we wish to make any hard, unbending rules against wnge in creases," said E, H. Brown, commis sioner of the association. "We feel, however, that any big wage Increases would so discourage building that It would work a hardship on the build ing tradesmen as well as the contract or*. The prospect Is for a real build ing boom in Omaha and Nebraska this spring." John M. Gibb, president of the Cen tral I.abor union, took exception to the statement of President Parsons Wednesday that there is a building la bor shortage in Omaha and Nebraska. "Contractors who are unwilling to pay’ wage scales which are being paid In all metropolitan cities may have difficulty getting workmen." said Pres ident Gibb, "but contractors who are paying the recognized wage scales are having no trouble." President Parsons replied to this by declaring that there is*a shortage not only In Omaha, but throughout the country. He said at the present time, during an off season lull, there may lie plenty of labor hero to sup ply the demand. Edwin J. Brunner, editor of the American Contractor, and Earl E. Stokes, secretary of the National Am ciallon of Builders, addressed the master builders yesterday afternoon and at the banquet In Hotel Fontenelle last night. By means of an X-ray clock, X-rays may now be measured as accurately as sn electric current. Road Conditions (FornUhnl hv the Omaha Auto Club.) Lincoln highway, oast ; Roads good.

Thousands of sensitive music-lovers have never purchased phonographs because, for them, record surface sounds spoil the music. Other thousands pa tiently endure the ever present scratch and scrape and try to overlook it. Columbia’s already fa mous discovery of a new and unbelievably quiet surface material for rec ords has opened up a new epoch in phonograph plea sure. Now you may buy records of the music you most delight in—the well loved ballads, arias from the famous operas, the lilt and swin£ of dance music, songs of the violin, the surging harmonies of great orchestras — all noticeably free from ob jectionable surface sounds. All of the Columbia Records out to-day are made with this wonder fully quiet and pleasing new surface. As an example, we cite the latest song hit, "“You Gave Me Your Heart.” In this tenor solo, sung by Edwin Dale, there’s sen timent and setting, tune fulness and tenderness in all their beauty, un marred by distracting scratch or scrape. “A Picture Without a Frame,” the selection on the other side, is equally attractive. Tear out this list and take it to a Columbia Dealer. Listen to any or all of these Columbia New Process Records. You, too, will acclaim them the smoothest, most quiet, most musical records you have ever heard.
