FROM THE OLO MILL STREAM Moat of the industry to out Piedmont Carolines was "down by the Old Mib Stream” when this century began. The rains came, and sometimes the Utt|e riverside plant went out with the flood Then adventuresome engi neers began to turn power wasting at tails and shoals into electricity They transmitted it to sites located a sate dis tance from the rivers These sites rapidly grew into towns Factory loss by flood ended Such river sites as could be reached and profitably de veloped were "used up" Too. It was found that, in time of drought, streams proved in adequate to power needs in the awakened Piedmont t i i By 1920, facilities (or steam generation were begun and have con tinued steadily until today they provide most of the power deliver ed by the Duke System One plant now under construction, the third in our present expansion program, will produce' as ere than ewe sixth as asacb power as was need last year ia all the territory served by the Sake rawer CeaipaBy. DURE POWER COMPANY "tfu. J3kJmont (Jto^uu. Textile Workers Win [ Gnka Plant Election HEY, BOSS! New York. — The American worker'* high production is due largely to the fact that he actu ally uses more minute* of every hour he is on the job than is the case in the United Kingdom. That is the impression pained by Francis Q. Mulligan, tailor's presser of Coop A Co. of Wipans, Lancs., following his 6 weeks’ tour of the United States with a United Kingdom productivity team. Tennessee Women Form Auxiliary Nftshville, Tenn.—The Tennessee Federation of Women's Auxiliaries of Labor, the state branch of the National Organization, the Amer ican Federation of Women's Aux iliaries of Labor, came into exist ence in a statewide conference November 15, at Nashville, Ten i nessee, w hen Mrs. Herman H.

The American Federation of Women’s Auxiliaries assisted ma terially in sponsoring the National Union Label Show of the Union Label Trades Department. Mrs. Herman H. Lowe is its national President. Home Building Sets New Record Washington.—All previous hous ing records were broken in Novem ber, when 93,000 new nonfarm dwelling units were started. November starts brought the ‘ total thus far in 1949 to 937,100,1 according to preliminary estimates of the U. S. Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. This 11-month total surpasses the 937, 000 units begun in all of 1925, the former peak year in homebuilding. There is little doubt now that the total number of new units staffed this year will exceed a million. November housing activity marks the fifth consecutice month during which previously existing records for the month were shattered. The sharp seasonal drop usually char acteristic of this time of the year has failed to materialise in 1949. Gains in both privately and pub licly financed housing have con tributed to the increased volume of homebuilding activity in 1949 compared with 1948. Asheville. N. C.—The AFL Unit ed Textile Workers trounced the CIO by a 4-to-one vote for 3,0<Jb employes at the American Enka Corp. as the climax to an abortive CIO raid.

The CIO total was less than one-half the number of cards shown National Labor Relations Board field agents. The company, pending outcome of the election, stalled negotiations on a new contract with the AFL. Hard-hitting machenry set up by United Textile Workers Local 2598 officer^, hop and chief stew jards, rank and file members and international representatives car 1 ried the AFL to victory. In urging a vote for the AFL, Textile W’orkers President Anthony Valente told the workers in a pre election statement: “You can protect your AFL sen iority rights, the wages which we have won, the AFL paid holidays, the years of work and achievement which today places the Enka work er in the forefront of all rayon workers.” Throughout the campaign, AFL officers insisted that terms of the contract then in effect must be ad hered to and that neither the com pany nor the CIO would be Allow ed to tear down the conditions built for . Enka workers over the past 10 years. KEEPS KALAMAZOO CONTROL Washington.—A proposal by the Kalamazoo, Mich., rent advisory board to decontrol the city and county of Kalamazoo has been dis approved by Housing Expditer Tighe E.
