London, Feb. 28—Final plans
have been approv- d bv the London

cost of approximately $275,000. Be
sides providing a large assembly
hall for labor conventions and suit
able meeting places lor the var
ious individual trades unions, the
building will contain restaurants,
club rooms, and a moving picture
theater. A unique feature will be
a general provision store on the
ground floor for the purpose of
supplying food and clothing to mem
bers during times of industrial

ed at least 33 per cent in the
handling of their strike funds. In

rangements are being made to
show especially films "telling dis
tinctively labor stories", which will
be accompanied by a large orches
tra and a pipe organ with music pe
