the new apartment house at the southeast corner of West End
av and 80th st.

Talk has been revived of a strike of Union Carpenters-against
the use of non-union trim. This strike has been threatened each
spring for some years past, but has not hitherto resulted In any¬
thing. In the past year, however, the men have been so suc¬
cessful that they may think the time more propitious Jor them
now. The district council of the United Brotherhood of Car¬
penters and Joiners have appointed a special delegate to or¬
ganize a plan of campaign.

The American Parquetry Co., with offlees and plant at the foot
of East 110th st, are the sole agents for the Cantwell system of
wood block flooring for flreproof buildings. They desire to call
the attention of architects and builders to this method of laying
wood blocks on a cement foundation, and state in the beginning
that it is the only system at present in use by whicli tlie floor
can be held down firmly on its bed of asphalt, with no possi¬
bility of detachment. Mr. Cantwell has perfected a system
wbich, by the means of a series of steel rails, set in and flush
with the surface of the cement bed, and a small auxiliary clamp
or key to engage under top arm of rail and over a rebate in tha
wood block, a positive hold is had on the cement foundation
<see advertisement). They guarantee this floor to stand every
test, and will furnish full information and estimates on applica¬
tion.    Telephone, 23 Harlem.
