There can be no gainsaying the fact
however, that the immediate need is FOR
increased production. With decreased
working hours this is impossible. Labor
unions are making a great mistake in
asking both higher wages and shorter
hours. The laboring man is sure to be
the sufferer in the long run. for he has
now started to burn the candle at both
ends. Labor must be warned OF the
danger of shorter hours and the conse-
quent lessned production.
Possibly the history OF recent strikes,
particularly that on the Interborougn
Rapid Transit lines in New York city,
which died aborning, indicates that
labor is beginning to realize that It
may carry its demands for Increased
wages beyond n poiut where a patient
and long suffering public will docilely
submit
"As a means of bringing about n better
understanding between employer and
employee rapid strides are being made
in various sections OF the country by
what are termed community councils
BY intelligent cooperation, as by getting
all els sses together, one solution OF the
problem Is helping to do away with sus-
picion and distrust
''In order to produce and distribute
the largest possible volume OF commodi-
ties whether viewed from an economic
or financial viewpoint, the remedy for
the present situation is the same: there
must he more regular and efficient work

cieties to cut down eXtravagant buying,
Tor America must both work and save.
There are many ways to work but only
one to save. In many sections of the
country the question of price is almost
wholly disregarded, so great is the de-
mand for commodities.
while building conditions are not
necessarily a safe gauge of prosperity,
they come near being the safest meas
ure we have At present the whole
trend Is toward greater industrial ex-
pansion, based partly on the quickened
business life of the country and part of
what seems to be the fulhlment OF Glad
stones prediction that some day the
United States would achieve the COM
hercial supremacy of the world.
1T is estimated that building and
engineering projects costing $500. OO0,-
600 were contracted for during the first
seven months of this year. The chief
activity is in the territory east of the
Mississippi River and north of the Ohio,
where, according to the estimate of one
large engineering company contracts for
work valued at 81 ,29S,22S 900 have been
let so far this year. This territory COM
prises Industrial America, and the in
crease in building contracts may be re-
garded as a fair basis for estimating
the trend of industrial opinion ms to the
immediate future OF the country.

JERSEY INSURANCE CHEAPER.
Premium Rates Fall on EIimina-
ton of War Charges.

Fire insurance premiums have taken
a big drop in New Jersey as the 10 per
cent. war surcharge on ordinary policies
and ~ per cent. surcharge on manufac-
turing and other mill properties have
been eliminated by an order from Atlee
Brown, expert in charge of the New
Jersey schedule rating office in Newark
The surcharge became effective in April,
1918, and was for the purpose of meet
ing war conditions. Its elimination will
mean an annual saving TO property own
ers and manufacturers in New Jersey
of several hundred thousand dollars
Holders Of policies issued since April,
1913, which still have some time to
run can secure a refund of part of the
extra premium they paid, according to
the length Of time still to run, by pre-
senting their policies to their brokers
and having them rewritten. The crcu-
lar issued by Mr. Brown, after announc-
ing that the 10 per cent surcharge shall
no longer be applied, further points out
"All policies commencing on and after
September !. 1919. shall be written less
the surcharge at the present published
rates. All policies commencing prior to
September /, 1919, may be cancelled pro
rata (including pro rata OF the sur
charge) If rewritten for a year or Longer
term at the present published rates All
policies cancelled must be at the short
rates No return premium can be given
by Endorsement"

BUILDINGS FAVORED
AS WAR MEMORIALS
Community Houses, Hospitals
and Schools Are Planned.

The Bureau of Memorial Buildings
OF the War Camp Community Service
reports that 25f communities in the
United states have decided to erect
buildings In memory of1their men who
served in the war. OF the memorial
buildings to be raised, 1872 will take
the form of community houses, each
to function as a free recreation and
social centre. Six of the structures will
be municipal office buildings.
More than 700 American communities
now are considering the putting up of
memorial buildings instead of shafts
or monuments, the Bureau of Memorial
Buildings also announces. 1t Is cam
paigning throughout the United States
for the community building type of
memorial. Such an institution, the
Bureau heads maintain. is a living in
huence in every community and serves
constantly hs n reminder OF the men the
community gave to the national fighting
forces.
