Contractors Threaten To Shut
Down Summer Work.

Topekans who are planning to build
houses or other buildings this summer
are liable to be faced with new diff
culties in addition to the high cost of
materials. 1t seems that the carpen-
terS union is going to ask for "a ] s.
cent an hour raise in wages on April
1. 1t is also stated among the con-
tractors that the demand will not be
met
Since the news of the threaten de-
mand for the raise in carpenters
wages has gotten out, the Topeka con-
tractors have been so arranging their
affairs, according to the talk at the
Chamber of Commerce this noon. that
they will have no more business on
hand that will require the services of
carpenters, union or otherwise.
The carpenters are going to de-
mand the raise from the contra ctors
on the grounds of the high cost of liv-
ing and everything" w. H. Kerle
secretary of the Topeka Industrial
council, said over the telephone this
afternoon.
1t is possible that the Chamber of
Commerce will follow out the prece-

Thirty-SeVen Planes Instead of 10000.
Critical senators feel strongly on the
airplane question. They profess to be

scortiing TO Senator New Indiana, show
that, tho $40. 600, 900 has been appro-

more has been asked for, only thirty
seven battle planes will be delivered in
France by July l instead of 10000

a portion of the critics are partic-
ularly angry over what they term
tendency to choke off honest criticism
of the war administration and the

that Americas airplane program is

While admitting that airplane work
is two or three months behind sched-

mechanics had been sent to France

that raw materials needed abroad for
airplane construction had been sent
in great quantities. This was done in
answer to urgent requests from al

Had To Make Tools First.
Delay in production of finished
airplanes here is partly due to mis-
calculation as to the tremendous
amount of tool construction heces-
sary for large scale production of
liberty motors and planes. Tooling
machines, jigs, gauges and cutters,
had to be built before actual manu-
facture of engines could begin.
