LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR

October, 80

EDITOR. The West vorginianl
Since you have published a 1ette1
from Parkersburg criticising my let
ter supporting Colonel c. W. Watson
for q. S. Senator, may ask the
courtesy Of little space to reply?
In my letter stated my reason for
supporting Colonel Watson although
have been and am a Republican.
That reason was that when Watson
was in the senate several years ago
he treated our comrades generously
In pension and oSler matters, that he
brought comfort and help to many a
veterans home in West Virginia by
giving heed to requests from soldiers
and their families who were some
times IN distress, and by serving us
as cur Senator as no Official has ever
served US before. Ny appeal was to
my comrades to Join In this non-polf
tical movement to send to the United
States Senate, by our votes and in
nuence. Colonel Watson, the soldier
end friend OF the old soldiers, their
widows and children.
My comrade in Parkersburg who
criticises my endorsement Of Watson
prints his own endorsement Of Ell
l5ins. VIII. you kindly point out, MI
wherein It is wrongful to endorse one
Editor, wherein it Is wrongful to en-
dorse one candidate and praiseworthy

NEW CONSTRUCTION
is STABILIZED
Decision Of War Industries
Board Cheers Builders and
Material Makers.
PLAN rs ANNOUNCED
Council of National Defence to
Consider Projects and Make
Recommendations.

New war time building rules issued by
the War Industries Board reveal that
jurisdiction In the matter Of building
construction has been placed in the
hands of the Mayors Committee OF the
Council of National Defense as far as
New York city In concerned. Construc-
tion throughout the rest of the State and
In New Jersey will come under the juris-
diction of the State Councils Of National
Defense at Albany and at Trenton. A
subcommittee OF the Mayors committee
will he named probably this week by
Henry Mcdonald. director general Of the
State Council at a conference to be held
either to-day or tomorrow at his Offices
in the Hall 'of Records, says the Dow
Service Daily Building Reports to-day.
This committee will have full jurisdic-
ton in the matter OF passing upon pro-
jected local building plans.
Highway work will not be handled by
this committee, according to present
plans. but will he vested entirely with
the State Commissioner of Highways for
New York and New Jersey.
Surveys have been ordered on all
building activities in the territories In
the jurisdiction of the local representa-
tives OF the Council OF National Defense
through their respective State chairmen,
who are asked to report as promptly
as possible. with their recommendations
concerning the necessity for such con-
struction. 10 ID. r. McLennan. chief Of
the Non-War Construction Section of the
Priorities Division, War Industries
Board, Washington. D. C.
The encouraging feature about this
new turn in affairs Is that instead of
six boards or bureaus having jurisdic-
ton over building construction and ma
terial supply, the War Industries Board,
the State Councils OF National Defence.
the Department of Labor. the Capital
Issues Committee and. In a way. the
Fuel Administration, under this plan are
all coordinated and the possibility Of
conflict of orders governing the essen
tiality of proposed construction Is en-
tirely removed.
Sentiment in the building trades on
Saturday morning was to the effect, in
a majority of instances, at least. that a
step forward had been accomplished as
far as stabilizing the general building
situation. The actual effect upon con-
struction probably will be no different
than that which has been prevailing for
six or eight months. Building operations
having full justification for proceeding
will have the opportunity of laying the
merits of their proposition before a
tribunal vested with definite authority.
II will give the building material manu-
facturers more definite bases upon which

mands.
