The order Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission diverting open top
rail equipment cars from the cOnstruc-
ton industry to the exclusive use of the
coal mines has been extended for an-
other thirty days, although vigorous
protests We're made against it by build
ing construction interests. Strong re-
representatives. have been made that the
open top equipment is not being han
died efficiently by the railroads and that
cars are permitted TO remain under
load for weeks either awaiting export
facilities or while coal in them is sub
ject to the manipulation of jobbers and
wholesale buyers. The cry of coal
shortage earlier in the year is believed
to have stampeded consumers to de-
mand coal against future needs to the
detriment of consumers whose needs
are immediate, with the result that In
the face of plenty an artificial shortage
forced manufacturers in the building
industries to pay inOrdinate prices for
fuel without regard to contract prices
/ The high price OF coal is reflected In
stiffening of prices for nearly all
kinds of building material, and with
increased freight rates which must in
evitably follow the increased labor costs
to the railways any reduction in prices
for building material must come by
way of increased production, better dis
tribution and adequate transportation.
At present the Interstate Commerce
Commission offers no relieE to the
building industry, beyond what may
follow the singleiminded course In tax
ing care of the coal situation first

Encouraging Home
Building

Among the various announcements
of building developments being under
taken by industrial concerns to the an
nouncement Of s. w. Straus & Co., on
July 16. is significant of the wide
spread awakening to the fact of the
supreme Importance of adequate hous-
ing for the people.
S. w. Straus & Co. announce that
they will make loans in the form of
first mortgage serial amortized bond is
sues in amounts Of one-half million dol
lars and upwards to industrial corpora.
tiOns OF established reliability engaged
in the production of essential corn1no-
dities, the proceeds of the loan to be
devoted to the construction of dwellings
for employees
The opinion is expressed that large
lending institutions of the country
should develop this field of financing
because of the enormous demand for
housing facilities and the stabilizing in
fluence which widespread ownership
of home by the working classes will
have.
The prediction also is made that as a
result Of this cooperation between fin.
ancial houses and Industrial corpora
tons. the next few years will be a
period of very extensive home building
activities.

The Future Of P ices

The unsettled condition Of the mar
ket for articles Of personal consump-
ton, the restriction of banking accom-
smodations, and disposition on the
part of the public ito make a stand
against further price advances, has
modities, cancellation of orders, and
considerable unemployment. The July
bulletin of the National City Bank Of
New York in noting these facts states
that the prevailing opinion about prices
is that an effective stop has been put
to the upward movement, and that sta
BILE conditions will be eventually reach:
ed thereby, but that the curtailment
of production is unfortunate for the full
4 product of these industries probably
will be wanted.
AS these commodities affect the liv-
ing costs of building trades, employees
as well as other workers of every class
they also influence the standard Of
wages in the building industries, What
is required is REIMBURSEMENT OF wages
\ particularly with regard to common ia-
;, Dor.
~ The authority above quoted states
! that the general world situation is not
favorable either to rapid decline of
prices or to, prolonged industrial de-
preston. There is too much work need
ing to be done.

When We All Fly.

One of tho greatest wonders
OF all ages is the development
of aerial navigation.
A few days ago n mail plane,
carrying its pilot and four hun
dred pounds of fast mail, tray.
eled the distance from Chicago
to New York in five hours and
thirty one minutes. BY air line
the two cities are 7i2 mites
apart.
From Cleveland to New York
the average rate of speed was
l51 miles an hour.
1t appears now that there is
but one great obstacle to the
universal use OF the airplane for
passenger and traffic purposes
That is the certainty of instant
death in case it becomes dsa
bled aud falls to earth.
But doubtless some day
science will overcome this OBJ
stacle. a means Will eventual.
ly be found whereby the air.
plane will no longer be- heavier
than mir, thus rendering it pos
sible to hold it suspended be.
tween earth and sky.
When that day comes every
citizen of any means will want
his plane.
You may even see the sue
cessor to the editor OF this pa.
per step into his air car, press n
buttcn, dart over INTO the other
end of the county, gather in the
news, and be back in the office
again within an hours time.
There is no limit to the posi-.
bilities of the airplane.
And there il little doubt as to
the early actually of these pos
sibilities.
