RAPS MONDELL
IN BONUS DELAY
Luther c. Steward Says
House Leader Is Cloud
ing Issue.
MANY FAVOR INCREASE
Officers of Federal En-
ployes Union Censured
For Stirring Up Feeling.
MANY FAVOR INCREASE

Republican House Leader Mon
dell was charged last night with
clouding the issue of the $240
bonus for government employees by
Luther c. Steward. president of the
National Federation of Federal EN-
ployes, who declared that the Re-
publican steering committee and
= Representative Blanton. of Texas.
refused to let 427 other members Of
the House express their views on
the measure.
'Mr. Mondell fails to state the
real point at ISSUE" said Steward,
lin his remarks on the floor of the
House concerning the s249s bonus
for Federal employees. The Republi-
can steering committee and Repre-
sentative Blanton arbitrarily re-
fused to let the other 427 members
of the House express their views re-
Garding the amount of the so-called
bonus.
House Authority Usurped.
That is exactly what happened
when the legislative appropriation
bill passed the House after Mr..
Blanton had made his point of or
der against the bonus of $240 and
the Republican leaders refused to
bring in the rule to make the pro-
vision in order. as Representative
Wood had promised they would do.
1t is another example of what many
other members of the House have
themselves complained of, the
making of laws by the steering
committee and Mr.. Blanton and not
by the whole House.
IF Mr.. Mondell had been sure the
majority of the House would favor
only $240 why did he not allow them
to register their vote to that effect? ?
The fact is that interviews with a
large majority of members of the
House show a general sentiment in
favor of the increase we are ask
ing.
Employees Not Satisfied.
SO far as the employees being
satisfied with $240 is concerned, 1t
was by instructions Of the national
convention of the organized en-
ployes, including the elected repre-
sentatives of our locals with mem
bership in every State in the Union,
that the national officers of the Fed

Higher Interest Rates
By RONALD S. O'NEILL.

In what way the prospective home-owner affected BY
the recent amendment the District Code permitting an in
teest charge of per cent instead of the maximum per
cent heretofore charged mortgage loans!
This question has occasioned considerable discussion IN
realty circles during the past two weeks
Inability to money mortgage or building loans
has been of the serious obstacles confronting he buyers
and builders of homes ever since the war This inability
raceable to the far greater returns obtanabe on loans
other than realty projects Will the possibility OF Sc
curing higher rate divert this money into building and
construction enterprises? Apparently it will, but:
The cost of building is now sky-high-will prospec-
tive builders PAY higher rate for building money! Will they
add the extra per cent to the cost of building IN the
face/of the other high costs they must meet'
The concensus of opinion is that the measure will en-
courage building The majority of realtors believe that the
market will stand the increased interest charge. This view
probably correct Any number of builders have been Will
ing to pay higher interest rate for money but such rate
could not legally be charged. Consequently Washington
money loaned outside the city and building loans here
unobanabe The law makes it profitable for
bankers to loan money in Washington outside There
no question but that they will prefer to do so.
The enthusiastic real estate in the new
law tremendous influence toward inauguraing the long
delayed building boom Washington needs We hope for the
fullment of their prophecy

year to bring in lumber and other
products from outside sources.
about thirty years ago New Eng
land was not only self-supporting in
her timber resources, but exported
large quantities to other parts of the
country and abroad. Within the last
fifteen years New England has be-
come an importing region and looks
more and more for timber supplies to
the South, to the Lake States, and
even to the Pacific coast.
"It is estimated that fully 30 per
cent of all the lumber used in New
England now comes from outside the
region. This is in addition to the i'm
portations of large quantities Of pulp
wood. New England is one of the
important centers for wood-using in
dustries. Heretofore many of these
Industries have drawn upon local
supplies. 1t is estimated that the
annual growth in New England of
forest materials that will be suitable
for lumber or other higher uses is
less than half of what is being cut"

CONSTRUCTION WORK
GAINS DURING MARCH

Contracts for construction work
awarded in March were considerably
greater in volume than for January
or February in territory east of the
Missouri and north of the Ohio, ac-
cording to the compilation OF the +.
w. Dodge Company. The totals are:
March, s327,ss7, 900: February, $216,-
663,O00 January, S235,S4S,000. The
gain for March is somewhat above
normal.
The total for the first quarter is
$3.50, 40S. 900. Normally the contracts
awarded during the first quarter are
somewhat less than 20 per cent of the
total for the entire year. This seems
to indicate a construction for the year
of about $4,000 100000 which is above
the average in recent years, even
after proper discount is made for the
increased costs. Several years ago
the normal construction, according to
the Dodge figures, had been running
at about a billion dollars annually.
In view of the fact that public at
tention and discussion have centered
around the shortage of dwellings, the
percentage of residences in the state
ment Is disappointing. or the total
for the first quarter, contracts award
ed for industrial buildings amounted
to $267. 7.193,00, or % per cent; resi-
Dental buildings, $150,6 900, or 19
per cent: public works and utilities,
$146973,000, or 19 per cent Normally
residences constitute about 30 per
cent of the total, and on account of
the present shortage they should
amount at present to at least 40 per
cent of the total. In other words,
home building is not proceeding at
the speed with which it should.
