ed to consider the difficulties of
street railways with a view to fur =
nishing a permanent solution.
A committee of the American
Electrical Railway association has
conferred with the railroad admins
tratiOn regarding the more or less
confused relation between the steam
and the electrical railways Consid-
Grafton was given TO the matter of
through rates and traffic regulations
and giving the electric railways pos
sibly the same status as short lines
number of meetings Of the street
railway association and state
bodies have also been held, at
which all matters relating TO the
trctions have been dealt with. 1t is
encouraging that in some instances
state public service commissions
have also began to see a little more
light in giving the fractions fair
treatment.
Too Early to Predict.
What will finally come out Of the
whole affair it is yet too early to
say Clearly the solution Of the
present difficulty can come only
through higher rates. The course
for the investor who holds good
street railway securities is TO keep
them and watch developments care
fully, and to the person who would
like to wait a little 10 see how the
wind will blow. There is no urgent
haste TO buy any but possibly the
hes traction issues at present, but
1t will undoubtedly pay investors TO
carefully watch and TO accumulate
street railway securities discimi-
nately when their future assumes a
more definite status.

Improvement, and the doubt and
pessimism prevailing in mid-winter
about general trade and industrial

idly as gross and has been moving
regularly downward since the latter
year. The cause for the decline in
net earnings is that while rates have
remained fixed. operating costs have
gone up.
Street railways have been especial
~ hard hit among the public utili-
ties because they are such extensive
employers Of labor. Coal and la Dor
eat up very substantial proportions
OF street railway revenue. The prices
Of coal have gone up materially and
the demands by labor have been al

BUILDING PERIOD
FOR MIDSUMMER
Authority Says Conditions
Point to Resumption of 0p-
erationS Over Country.

With regard TO the building sit
uation. 5. w. Straus says:
Indications are that by mid-sum-
iner we shall witness the actual be-
ginning OF long and active period
Of construction work in all parts OF
the country.
Not only have building operations
greatly increased in the last 80 days,
but there has been noted a pro-
nounced increase among inquierers
for capital 10 be used in construction
lines OF all kinds and for industrial
expansion. These inquiries are Of
such a nature and represent so many
varied interests as TO indicate a
strong undertone Of national opti-
mism with regard 10 Immediate
business prospects and rapid APP
proach toward general sterilization.
Reports From Centers.
reports from the principal bust
ness centers of the country show that
the resumption of building operations
on an extensive scale has begun and
there is reason to believe that the
present month may be the best June
ia the history Of the country in point
of building contracts let, unless Ia
Dor distur Dances or some other un-
favorable circumstances prevents.
The improved conditions in the
building industry are based quite
| largely on the realization by all in
terests that construction prices, in
stead of receding. will go higher
II has become generally recognized
that labor costs in this country are
more likely 10 advance than to be
modified, and tins. in the final
analysis, is the deciding factor for
the reason that about 40 per cent
of the cost of a building is for labor
employed in erection work and So
per cent is for labor in the manu-
facture of materials. Labor employ
ed in construction work advanced
2S12 per cent during the period Of
1914-191S while the cost Of living
went up 60 per cent and in New
York it advanced 10 per cent. It
may be assumed, therefore, that
construction costs will go higher
than present levels with the added
I
pressure Of ensuing abnormal de-
mands.
Building Materials Low.
ct must be remembered that the
cost of commodities entering into
building construction are low at the
present time compar ed with the cost
of all other commodities, and, with
general prices continually working
toward higher Levels. il is futile for
any building interests to expect more
favorable terms at a later date.
while construction activities are
now gaining Roadway rapidly with
every indication Of reaching UMPIRE
cedented proportions as the summer
adances, there is no likelihood that
anything approaching normal hous
ing conditions will be attained. The
