500, 900 TO BE IDLE
IN CHICAGO TIE-UP
Head of Builders Agency Says
Loss Will Be Sl,500,00O
Each Dav.

CHICAGO, July AT midnight the
manufacturing district tributary to
Chicago began to pay sl,5C0,0oO a day to
settle the city's building tie-up and force
arbitration.
The figures were supplied by James
Fryer. manager OF the Illinois Lime
Company, president Of the Builders
press committee of the city's allied ma
terial manufacturing interests. s..
II estimate that 1000 men employed
by Chicago mills, and probably an addi-
tional 100000 in Wisconsin, Indiana and
Ohio plants which furnish supplies to
Chicago builders, will be out of employ
ment by Tuesday" he said. II estI-
mate that the loss per man will aver
81. 800, 600 a day and the the loss may con-
tinue Indefinitely This question must
be settled now for all time.
There will be no more deliveries
from any of the Chicago yards.
BY closing time at noon Wednesday
1t is expected that more than 200,CO
men will be out Of work and nearly
200 industries silent while manufac-
turers and contractors wait for the l6.
900 striking carpenters to decide to ar
bitrate their differences with the Car
penter Contractors Association.
Mr.. Fryer announced the shutdown
had already taken place. At the yards
OF the Chicago Union Lime Company
forty fires of one of the two kilns were
extinRuished and at the Artesian Stone
and Lime works five of six kilns have
ceased to operate.
Agreements on file at the office of the
Carpenters District Council show that
nearly 100 contractors have withdrawn
from the Carpenter Contractors Associa-
ton and signed the wage scale of ~
cents asked by the carpenters.
According to John A. Metz, president
OF the council, nearly 1900 OF the 49,
600 carpenters are at work. Sufficient
material is on hand to supply the con-
tractors for six months.

Retails Trade Is Quiet in
Fifth Reserve District

Retail trade generally is quiet in the
Fifth Federal district. embracing the
District, Maryland, and Virginia. and
part of North Carolina, according to
the Federal Reserve Bulletin, just is
sued.
The bulletin says that the retail trade
is rejecting Economics practiced by
ultimate consumers. These are mani
fest particularly in cotton and tobacco
territories.
Some OF the cotton mills claim to be
making money" the report continues,
but 1t Is probably the fact that most
OF them are satisfied with nominal
profits
LUMBER is in poor position, with
little prospect of Improvement in the
near future. Tobacco has been over
planted
While not unduly optimistic, the. re-
port says that any advance made has
been fairly held, and that conditions
are good.
1t seems from the reports of other
districts that the wave of economy has
been general, and business was as a
rule dull during June. In the Clcve-
Iand district, however, business in some
OF the large Industrial plants is de-
scribed as almost booming, as a result
probably of war orders. General BUSH
ness IN the District is only fair The
tone from the West rs more optimistic.

that the advertisement was not the
