Brickmakers Say
Material Cost Is
From Lack of Men
Witnesses Before Legisla.
tive Housing Committee
Say Production Expense
Is Now Up l25 Per Cent

The high cost of building material is
partly due to shortage of unskilled
labor, which is curtailing production,
two dealers declared at yesterdays ses-
sion Of the joint legislative committee
investigating housing conditions here.
The witnesses were Charles E. Muir
tina, Of the building material firm of
Murtha & Schmohl, and William Max
we'll, treasurer and chief executive of
the Long Island Brick Company.
Both emphatically denied that a COM
bination of dealers is responsible.
They endeavored to show the commit
tee that a combine is impracticable.
"1f man were making brick fast
and was loading up his yard and he
wanted to move some of them," Mr..
Murtha said, "he would shade the price
a little, but to-day they cannot get
labor enough, and not all have started
to make brick. There are lots of brick
layers and plasterers, but no common
laborers."
Say They CoddIe Workers
Senator Charles C. Lockwood, chair
man of the committee, called Mr.. Muir
tha's attention to the testimony of
President Hanna of the Central Fed
eral Union at a previous hearing, at
which the latter estimated that 200,-
600 building trade workers, 60 per cent
of them unskilled, are out of Jobs.
81 don't know what he terms un-
skilled labor" the witness said, "but in
our business we coddle the men to keep
the gang we have. We pay them $24
a week all the year round. The hours
are from 1880 a. m. to $3.50 p. M, and
we close at 1 on Saturday from June /
to September Is. We give them all
holidays with pay. That's how we keep
them"
"Do you think that all dealers sell
at the same price for the same quality
of brick?" asked Senator Lockwood
IL don't think so. Only recently l
saw couple of figures that were. less
than mne," Mr.. Martin replied
In fifteen years, he said, the cost of
manufacturing building material has
climbed 125 per cent He said he "is
living on the past and hoping for the
future"
He Wants Them All
Mr.. Maxwell told the committee shat
if the price of brick was fixed on the
law Of supply and demand it would
even be higher than it is. He said
labor is lacking.
II heard one of your members say
while ago that there were two hun
drcu alen competent for wheelbarrow
labor going around looking for jobs, )"
Z tak Of I,
now, at fifty cents an hour, for an
eight-hour day. If they care to, they
can put in eighteen hours We have
secured New York and other places,
and there is no labor available"
The Interrogation of officials of in
surance companies on the availability
of funds for investment, in real estate
was resumed. Charles A. Peabody,
president Of the Mutual Life, testified
that his company still owes $4,000, 900

future generations, and they are the
hope of the world"
McAdoo Praises System
Mr.. McAdoo followed Mr.. Vogel and
extolled the merits of the Boy Scout
movement, the purpose of which is to
lnstlll in youth respect for authority,
truthfulness and all those virtues that
make for better citizenship and real
Americanism. The speaker based his
appeal upon the fact that all persons
are interested in the welfare of grow
ing boys, and that the Boy Scouts or
ganization is holding out an opportu-
nifty to do something real-something
material and substantial in behalf of
the nations boyhood
Mr.. Edwards, chairman of the greater
city campaign said:
"The Boy Scout movement is the
skirmish line against Bolshevism.
Every anarchist hates the organiza-
ton.
"There is more effective patriotic
propaganda in the Boy Scout and Camp
Fire Girl movements than in all other
Americanization efforts combined.
"The officers of the army and navy
Of the future are coming from the
Boy Scout ranks. The camp fires of
the Scouts are beacon lights of patriot
ism.
"England in her peril called to her
boys and in one day 10000 Scouts took
mems places on the coasts and on the
sea and released 10000 fighting men
20 hit the Huns. The Scout training
W. buy with our contributions is tho
cheapest thing in military values. Boys
sometimes run away from home; they
never run away from camp A Scouts
uniform is the mark of a soldierlv
boy A Boy Scout is known by his
good manners"
Fill No-Man's Land
There was n No Mans Land in
france. There is No-Man's Land in
American public opinion; place
where some people are not quite sure
about the value of OUT Constitution
and our Flag. The Boy Scouts and
Camp Fire Girls will occupy that de-
batable ground with live forces.
Fill the scout ranks and keep the
jails empty. The greatest temperance
movement on earth is the one that
takes the boys and girls out of doors
and teaches obedience and joy in SER
vice and self-control. The boys who
march as scout will never tramp as
tramps.
