27s per cent, compared with so per
cent here. 1t has been necessary in
Great Britain for the government to
guarantee the investor against pos
sible declines for a period of five
years. In this country, however.
building permits show how rapidly
the boom is gaining headway.
Americas building boom naturally
should be greater than EnEland's.
The great majority Of builders here
have not been affected as they have
In Europe. They are IN a position to
get needed materials more readily.
The country's finances, despite large
loans made to foreign powers, are
stronger than ever before. There Is
every reason to believe the prosperity
that is now being enjoyed will con-
tinue for some time. The main factor
likely TO disturb, confidence as to what.
the future will bring to the pro-
fession of architecture and to the
building industry Is 20 be found In
what is called the unrest in the. labor
situation.
There has also arisen a further
problem for the architect and builder,
and that has developed from the in
creasing demands of labor for recog-
milton in the readjhstment of living
conditions. Ultimately these demands
are sure to work out for good, for a
higher standard of living and for
truer Americanism. But at present
the immediate effect of the demands
upon construction initiates against
the successful operation of capital,
which cannot so quickly adjust itself
to greatly increased cost. There Is
no doubt that a greater purchasing
power of the mass o. the people will
mean wider opportunity for all those
engaged in building enterprises. The
problem calls for a broad-minded, un-
selfish policy that will make for
progress and for self-advancement of
the individual"

FIXED WAGE SCALE
BEST BUILDING AID

ain view Of the sudden revival Of
major building operations in many OF
the larger municipalities Of the coun-
try efforts were made this week by
architects and builders to work out
some plan for stabilizing wages Of
skilled building labor so that the
present boom may continue uninter-
rupted," says the weekly review OF
The American Architect.
FReports from many sections show
much talk of radical wage increase
demands from skilled building ar
tisans. For some time this has de-
TERED builders from going ahead
with long planned projects. In Bos-
ten the situation became so serious
that the mayor called a conference
OF the employers and artisans. 1t
was proposed that a general wage
scale, applying to ali lines, be fixed
and that the agreed upon top price
hold for a definite period.
Boston Plan Works Wen.
ESQ far the Boston plan is working
out admirably, and a big Increase has
already been shown in the number Of
houses on which construction has
started. other communities, It is
hoped, will try out labor stabilizing
plans Of their own very shortly, for
the Boston mayors practical sugges-
tion has brought out the fact that
there is real hope for increased build
ing activity in the fixing Of a nat
wage scale for artisans.
However, it is the demands Of la
Dor that are blocking construction.
It is the persistent talk throughout
- Taw
all classes of skilled labor that has
made the builder pause before enter
ing new undertakings and calculate
the increased costs before going
ahead. Unskilled labor too has been
affected. Laborers are now
demanding 65 cents an hour for eight
hours and time and a half for over
time. The present price OF 50. cents
an hour Is from q third to a half
more than before the war.
Can't Meet Labor Demands.
"From every point it is certain
that the extreme demands Of labor
cannot be met. The builder had
thought that with the stabilization of
prices at the present level he could
go ahead and take a chance. He
found mortgage companies willing to
with material prices up go per cent he
could proceed IL labor was to be no
higher than $3.50 for laborers, $3.50
for bricklayers and plasterers and not
over 81 for carpenters, painters. and
others. But even at these levels 1t
was easy TO see that the day Of the
$40 a room apartment was a thing of
the past, and unless SO per room was
assured he would not take a chance.
Even at this rate per room present
costs precluded building On any but
the cheapest lots. Land alone Of all
the essentials OF Construction can be
had in locations at prices which COM
pare favorably from the builders
viewpoint with pre-war prices.
Labor should take into considera-
ton that the inevitable reaction from
the condition that is bound to develop
II a labor wage stabilizing plan is not
soon adopted will first be felt by the
Iaboring classes. Still higher rents
and living costs will hit the working
nan the harder. Their suffering will
be unable TO Withstand the privations
that come from idleness. 1t affects
not only the laborer Of the job but
The man in the factories and plants
where building materials are pro-
iuced."

WHY THE COST OF
BUILDING is HIGH

Prof. Irving Fishers statement
that the country is on a new and
permanently higher price level, and
that there is no logical reason for de-
ferring building and construction
work in the hope of lower prices in
the immediate future, has precipitated
much discussion the country over.
Prof Fishers statement was issued
by the Department Of Labor after the
former had investigated the condi-
tions that exist in the building and
allied industries.

New-York tribune., 1919-05-21

Chairman Hurley told the yard repre-
sentatives that the Industry develoned
by the war emergency was not on
normal oasis now that peace had come
ana that reductions in building costs
must be made to enable American
shlps to compete with the FOREIGN
product.
II was made clear that the board had
no intention to interfere arbitrarily
win 'ne industry or to attempt to pre-
vent iegltlmate profit on contracts
made IN good faith and on which the
builders were assured they would re-
celve equitable treatment. Where keels
nave not been laid however, the board
expects generous cooperation from the
yards IN putting down the high COST
JUSTIFIED during the war emergency and
where material has not been delivered
IN substituting a new fiat nrice con.
tract and types Of ships needed to make
a we'll balanced fleet.

Will be needed to carry out contrac+s
which the board already has been an
