WAR IS CURTA|[|NG'
ALL CONSTRUCTION
Need Of Steel for Government
Purpose Works to Eliminate
Building Operations.

Current developments of far-reach-
ing importance indicate no immedi-
ate likelihood OF a resumption of
building and construction operations
outside Of emergency work for the
government. The continued heavy
demand for steel for the Army and
Navy has produced an acute situation
in that market.
The War Industries Board is con-
fronted with government estimates
which exceed by more than 100000
steel mills. The Emergency Fleet
Corporation has asked Sor an addi-
tional 100000 tons during the next
twelve months. With the continued
heavy shipment OF troops abroad and
the general speeding up Of the war
program. the labor market is mar
rover. which situation will contrib
ute further to the curtailment of
building operations.
1t is estimated that the total con-
struction work of the country dur
ing the year. outside of government
demands, will not exceed $500, ,000, 900.
which compares with $1,000. 10000 of
1915. A summary of the nations bust

Firms engaged in the building in

formed the Federation Of Building
Industries for the purpose of CO.
operation with the government in war
construction work. An interesting
report has just been issued by this
federation based on questionable
sent to the members of the organiza-
tion. The salient points of the re-
port are as follows:
The general supply of building ma
terial is limited and affecting Serious
ly the government program. -
Supply of labor varies in dinerent
parts of the country. Mechanics in
the building industries have been at
tracted to government operations. al
though by no means uniformly work
ing at their own particular trades.
In view of the reduced production IN
the building industry. there seem to
be sufficient skilled mechanics Tor
present needs. There is universal
shortage of common labor. Govern
ment employment of labor has result.
ed in considerable increase OF
wages. This fact. together with the
government paying for overtime, has
tended to cause dissatisfaction and
the indiscriminatingN demand for Ia
Dor at high prices has tended to pro-
duce general inefioiency-
1t is generally accepted that the

tually caused the postponement or
