it was decided to enlarge the work.
At present the national fund totals
more than 100000 per year.
An effort will be made to reach the

OPPOSE LIQUOR TAX PAYING.
"Drys" in Manila Claim Such
Action Is Illegal.

MANILA. p. L, January % (by the
Associated Press) .-Prohibition lead
ers here are advising payment Of
liquor taxes, local and territorial,
calming them to be illegal. While
local and territorial authorities are
seeking collection of taxes, the pro-
nibitionists have sought to prevent
their payment on the assumption that
the United States constitutional
amendment providing prohibition is
automatically effective in the Philip
pine Islands.
The United States district court in
the territory ruled that the consti-
tutional amendment was imperative
in so far as the Philippines were con-
cerned, because of it's failure to
specify application to the Philippines.
How long the Philippines wiN remain
wet" will be determined by the pres
emit session of the territorial legisla-
ture, in which the question of ter
ritorial prohibition will be fought
out.

UP the fight to wiring from the govern

lutte necessity OF lifting the wartime
restrictions on the movement Of build
ing materials by rail and thus put the

solve the menacing house famine
throughout the country instead Of him
dering it.
Will Join Protest.
THE financial institutions are the
latest to join the protest against ex-
listing conditions by threatening to re-
fuse further loans in such Unstable
building material price market.
The labor situation has greatly i'm
proved. Men are making the chief con-
sl0eration permanency of work rather
than shorter hours or higher wages at
present. They say they are tired of
theories and propagandists. They want
work and are passing out Of the former
preferential wartime industries into
the building material manufacturing
industries because of the promise of
steady work and steady pay. The diff
ference in demand between this and
former years is merely that of a stam-
pede or an attempt by powerful build
ing interests to corner the meager
building material supply because cars
are not made available to keep up the
supply here. The open weather and the
starting of the 1920 building season
about sixty days before the season usu-
ally opens has helped to stimulate this
stampede.
Building material dealers, manufac-
turers, architects and contractors have
way to bring about a stabilized build
ing material price market. say authori-
ties in the industry, and that is by
backing up the efforts of the various
organizations at work on the fuel and
railroad administrations to change the
preference of the building industry
from last to first to check growing
national menace

SCARCITY OF TRANSPORTATION
INITIATES BUILDING MATERIAL
General Scramble for What Leaves Mills
Said to Have Tendency to
Increase Costs.

NEW YORK, n. Y. January "a
Apparent federal indifference to the
nations increasing need for more
building space is held responsible
for the constantly increasing price of
building materials in this and other
markets and the constantly advanc-
ing cost of building construction. says
the Dow Service Daily Building Re
ports.
The situation has reached a point
where building material manufacture
ers have already closed down because
they cannot get cars to ship material
from overloaded warehouses and
others have withdrawn their sales
men. They have all the labor they
want They have more business in
prospect than the mills can take care
of for almost half a year. but still
they have to shut down because the rail-
road administration has kept the
building material industry at the bot
tom of the preferred list for car ac-
building material can be moved by
rail until all other preferred indus
tries have had car service and there
are cars to spare for the building
trades.
Demand for Available Material.
This apparent prejudbe against
building materials and building con-
StTucllOn is not only holding pack
construction work all over the coun-
try, but it is causing a stampede for
the small quantity of building mate
rial available in distributors hands.
Stampedes occur when buyers are
willing to pay premiums for prompt
delivery of needed building materials
from dwindling building material re-
serves.
There is at present a temporary
famine in brick. plaster board and
cement. In Buffalo plaster board
mills have actually closed with ware
houses full and all the labor needed
to operate a tremendous mill capacity,
all because they cannot get cars to
ship this material to this market. In
the meantime this market is prac-
tically barren of plaster board, ex-
