In spite Of speculation in modern
house building and the shoddy mate
rails and methods OF construction too
frequently seen. the fact remains that,
on the whole, we build better today
than they did in the good old days"
OF our forefathers. And this, too, in
spite Of the fact that the problem Of
building today is infinitely more com
plicated than that which confronted
the builder of colonial times. owing
to the unexampied complexity OF com
mercial and industrial conditions now
marking a transitional period in the
development OF American city and sub
urban life. In the olden days all life
savored more or less Of the country,
with its comparative simplicity of con-

transformed. The marvellous progress

of new materials and processes and

ing as such. Moreover, the architect
and the builder Of today have advan-
tages that were not at their command
a century ago. The range OF available
and adaptable building materials has
greatly broadened, thus giving a selec-
tion that did not exist in former days;
and this advantage is emphasized by
vastly improved transportation facili-
ties which place at the disposal Of the
builder the varied materials, not only
OF this entire country. but OF the en-

reached. The union representatives
intimated that their plans already nad
been made. President McCreery is
sued a statement that the nine crafts
in the federation had turned matters
over to the international officers and
would await their action.
The letter from President Markham
of the Illinois Central road to Secre-
tary Kramer of the international union
says, in part:
Never before in the history OF our
dealings with labor organizations have
we been asked to change contracts ex-
cept in the usual manner provided
therein, viz: That the thirty days for
NAL notice which has always been re-
garded as an essential feature OF same,
be given.
THE required thirty days notice
not having been given in the manner
provided in each of the different con-
tracts, we regard them as still in ef
feet and must again decline to enter
into negotiations with other agencies
for the purpose of making changes
therein.
THE paramount interest in this con-
troversy is that OF the shipping and
travelling public; and being convinced
that it is the ultimate purpose Of the
federation to consolidate railroad serv-
ice employees into one organization, the
management does not feel that public
opinion would sustain it in entering
into an agreement which would place
in the hands of one body the power to
throttle the commerce of the coun-
try"
When a copy OF the letter was shown
to President McCreery he dictated the
following statement:
IF this letter is authentic. it is very
evident to us that the officials of the
Illinois Central are seeking to force
the issue prematurely. That could be
the only conclusion to draw from
