BUILDING IS THIRD
FROM TOP ON H.C.L.
LADDER; GOING UP

CHICAGO. April 2S.-The index
figure for wholesale prices for lumber
and building materials in March is
325 according to the statistics OF the
United States Department of Labor.
The figure for February was 800,
prices for 1913 being used as 100.
This clearly shows that the price
tendency for building materials is up
ward 1t also shows that the price
level for building materials is the
third highest of all commodities, the
highest being cloth and clothing with
house-furnishing goods second in the
list
AS matter of fact it is the wild
bidding of buyers rather than the list
prices of manufacturers that is chiefly
responsible for the present price level
in the building material field. Bonus
payments for immediate deliveries are
the rule rather than the exception in
lumber and steel and, in lesser de-
gree, this condition prevails in the
brick, cement and building hardware
fields. 1t is, of course, difficult to con-
vince the man whose need for lumber,
steel, or any other building material is
most pressing, that it is unsound bust
ness to offer a bonus for immediate
consideration for his order. The fact
remains that bonus paying, both for
materials and labor, is an important
factor in boosting construction costs.
Difficulty in Delivery.
The difficulty in getting delivery on
building materials grows out of Cd the
shortage in stocks and production, and
CD demoralized service and lack of
equipment on the railroads. Trans
rortation conditions have improved
slightly, especially in the middle West,
during the last few days. but the de-
moralization incident to the epidemic
of outlaw strikes still is quite appar-
ent. The general transportation situa-
ton Is so unfavorable and so much
construction work is being held up be-
cause Of slow deliveries Of essential
materials that there is a growing con-
viction in the construction industry, of
justification for priority handling for
construction shipments.
Those who urge this policy point
out that shipments of luxuries and
nonessentials are making such de-
mands on the available railroad equip
ment that the very materials which
would Importantly help in alternating
housing conditions wait on cars for
loading, or are delayed en- route be-
cause oe the inadequacy Of motive
power.
If transportation conditions do not
improve materially and promptly the
construction industry may confidently
be expected to make a vigorous cam
paign with railroad officials and the
interstate commerce commission for
priority handling of building material
and a revision of freight rates which
will eliminate the wartime rates
which still apply to many building
products.

R. R. WORKERS. HEADS
HINT CONSPIRACY
(Ry Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, d. c., April Is
An apparent conspiracy exists to In
timidate the railroad labor board into
denying wage increase for railroad
workers, President Carter, of the
brotherhood of locomotive firemen and
enginemen, declared today at the hear
ing before the board.
Mr.. Carter said increased wages
paid employees had been almost imper-
ceptible in their effect on prices and
added that they might be disregarded
as a factor in the high cost of living.
Timothy Shea, vice president Of the
firemen's brotherhood, protested
against the board receiving data from
railroads on the workmen's claims in
the form of missionaries. as suggest
ed. This method. the brotherhood of
fetal declared, would require months
adding that he limit had been reach
ed by the workers.

Wood Alcohol Climbing;
Now S2.65 Per Gallon

DEVELOPMENTS OF a sensational char
acter have been frequent in the whole
sale market for alcohol recently, the
latest event being record breaking
increase in the price of methyl or
wood alcohol.
That occurred a day or two ago
when the producers announced an ad-
vance in prices of $3.50 per gallon for
95 per cent in car load lots, $3.50 per
gallon for So per cent and $3.50 per
gallon for purified wood alcohol. The
increase in prices was not only the
sharpest ever announced by makers,
but it also carried values up to heights
never before reached in the wood al
cohol manufacturing industry of this
country. Extremely sharp advances
have also occurred recently in pure
and denatured alcohol. and moreover,
much difficulty is being experienced in
securing supplies for prompt or near,
by delivery even at the abnormally
high prices now prevailing.
The situation is without precedent
in the history of the alcohol industry
In the case of commodity of such
! widespread use as alcohol many other
! industries are naturally affected by
! the existing stringency. The cost. fur
thermore, is declared to be approach
. ing a prohibitive point for some con
I SumerS.
! Under normal conditions of supply
: and demand, as they existed just prior
! to the outbreak of the war, wood al
cohol was selling in this market at A.
! cents per gallon for 95 per cent, and
! the current market price shows an in
crease, therefore, of roughly 500 per
cent. In the same time pure grain or
molasses alcohol has risen from S252
per gallon to about $3.50, while dena-
! tured alcohol has advanced from "a
| cents TO 81
