MILLION HOMES
NEEDED IN i. S.

CHICAGO, March 23.-The United
States is nearly on million homes be-
hind its needs The shortage win be
overcome during 1919.
William A Bradford, editor Of the
American Builder, made this assertion
here. He said II typifies building con-
ditions and ambitions for the recon-
struction period In the middle West.
~ survey, he said, shows plans have
been laid to employ thousands Of re-
turned soldiers and complete dozens
II projects postponed by war.
The biggest. job in Chicago for the
next two years will be erection Of q
$4,500.O0O railway union station. A
thousand men now are at wOrk on II.
Erection OF apartment houses has
been renewed with . rush.
w. s. Cahill, Chicago architect, de-
Clared conditions here are similar to
those in other localities. The Gov
eminent slogan, Build q home" he
said, has stimulated hundreds Of form
or renters TO build.
"The value Of the building interest
that has been started, primarily to
create jobs. will be inestimable. People
have found out that materials have
not increased In price in proportion
to increases OF labor and living costs"
Cahiu said.

LUMBER PRICES TO
DROP BUT SLIGHTLY

Lumber prices can be reduced only
slightly, II at all. from the war time
figures In the opinion Of representa-
tives of the industry now trying to
reach price agreement with the In
dustrial Board.
Suggestions Of the board for reduc-
tons similar to the slash in steel
prices brought the reply from the
lumbermen that they did not repre-
sent q sufficient percentage OF the
Industry to accept the responsibility
for the lower prices. Conferences
which lasted all day adjourned last
night without an agreement OF any
sort being reached. Efforts to reach
an understanding viii be continued
this week.
At the same time the Iumbermsn,
through their chairman. John II. KIr-
By, claimed that they are loosing
money at present prices. and that re-
ductions cannot be made until the cost
Of labor comes down. This the board
refuses to allow.
Our prices and our production
costs are one" Kirby said, when asked
II he had submitted q new schedule
Of pFiceA
''ouP production. cost has increased
since the signing Of the armistice,
and we are actually losing money on
many Of our present selling prices"
Kirby admitted this may be due
to the present Stagnation Of the bust
ness and building market.

"The first thing I noticed in going
through the town was the enormous
number of placards posted in places
that heretofore had been sacred. The
Rauthaus, churches, schools and even

Newspapers in OuteFfes.
THE newspapers devoted a great
amount Of space to outcries against
the rape Of the German colonies and
to the injustice Of inficting penalties
for the non-delivery of locomotives
and rolling stock. 1t was stated that
In spite of the coal strike and the in

ADAMS HEAD OF
POSTAL TELEGRAPH

Postmaster General BUrleson yes
terday took away from officials of the
Postal Telegraph and Telephone sys-
tens all duties appertaining to the
control and operation Of that service
under Government control"
Those relieved of their managerial
positions were Clarence H. Mackay,
president; W. W. Cook. general coun-
sci; William J. Deegan, secretary.
and ''the board Of trustees or directors
and the owners Of the Mackay CON-
panies"
Adams in Charge.
A. F. Adams, of Kansas City, n
member of the general telegraph and
telephone operating board, WIS
placed in charge of the postal sys-
tenn.
Failure "to carry out the orders and
instructions Of the Postmaster Gen
ersl" under Government control Of
telephone and telegraph was the man
reason Burleson assigned for removal
Of the Postal heads. Among other
charges preferred by the Postmaster
General was that the Postal officials
conducted themselves before tile
public and with the operating force
OF said system in such a manner as
to materially and disadvantageously
affect the interests Of the Government
and the operation Of this and other
telegraph and telephone systems uu-
der Government control"
Charges characterization.
Another explanation for the move
was ''that since the Postohfice Depart
ment refused to grant that company
the compensation asked for by them
these officials have refused to follow
out the instructions Of the department
in the management of the properties;
and failed to put into operation
promptly the wage schedule and the
eight-hour day; and in various ways
endeavored to embarrass and dis
credit the Government operation of
the wires"
Burleson's statement also went into
the old controversy between the wire
administration and the Postal over
the company's former income and
valuation.

in the face.
There is a very pronounced feeling
in my country that the packers are
being jobbed. and-we are going to
get the worst OF it. The producers
will have to stand the burden OF this
prop osed law"
