Industrial Corporations In
Pittsburgh District Adopt
Scheme To Relieve the
Housing Shortage.

10y soRHIHo JouRNAL sPEctALlEAsEn WiaHl
Pittsburgh, Pa, April 20.-lm-
portant industrial corporations in
the Pittsburgh district are finan-
cling home building operations by
their employees to relieve the
house shortage in mill and mining
communities. For the general pub
lie, trust companies have adopted
similar plans. and are now accept
ing what they term 'installment
mortgages to encourage house
erection.
The most ambitious program of
the lot is that OF the United States
Steel corporation. Under this plan
an employe, whv as willing to make
an initial investment of 10 per cent
of the total cost, is permitted to Sc
lect from a large number of plans
the kind of house that will suit his
family. He then picks out lot,
usually near his place of employ
ment, and the corporations archi-
tects and builders do the rest.
When the house is completed, it is
turned over to the employee who
pledges himself to pay for it in
monthly inEallments covering a
period of ten years, the total cost
being just what the cost has been
to the corporation. Although the
plan is scarcely a month old, the
bureau in charge of building is al
ready swamped with applications.
The Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing company also has
a building plan, ard has just COM
pleted and sold 10 1mployes fifty
houses at cost. They too are &c
be paid for on the fnstallment plan

Another AND mnch larger nrogram

Another and much larger program
IS ia preparation.
The merit of these plans, build
ers say, is that materials can be
purchased, in large quantities., and
the saving passed on to the work
man buyer, who thus gets a much
better home for less money than
if he had bought the material and
erected the house as an individual,

partment store bargain sale"
which, she discovered later, cost
cents to manufacture. She said that
many big business houses were not
satisfied with 100 per cent profit
but We're making, in some cases,
l5O to 200 per cent. She suggested
a remedy" as follows:
DO not buy anything in the first
store you visit. ASK the price and,
III il seems at all excessive, say you
will not pay it and walk out. Then
80 next door and you may buy II
for less. At any rate these profit
teers need TO know that the public
is wise TO them. A tremendous vol
ume of refusals 10 buy would make
such merchants realize they must
stop oVercharging if they would
not precipitate a general business
boycott"
Obviously the Flying Squadron"
is working with the utmost secrecy
and names of compliments are
withheld. Several big New York
corporations, which have been ac-
cused of making unjustifiable prof
its on foodstuffs and clothing, are
now reported under investigation.
According to Mr.. Riley, one con-
victed profiteer blamed the public
for much of the high prices.
Can't Resist Tempta ion.
IT'S so easy to get what you ask
for the merchant confided TO the
chief investigator, that few bust
ness men can resist the temptation
to raise prices. If l put two gar
ments in my store window of exact
ly the same cut and materials but
with a $50 tag on one and a $55
tag on the other, most persons
would buy the higher priced one.
It's a strange freak Of human ma
ture. People nowadays don't seem
to concern themselves any more
about what thing costs"
Protests against profiteering are
reported pouring into the federal
building here from all over the
country. When a complaint is re-
ceived it is indeXed and forwarded
to federal prosecutors and flying
squadrons" operating in the United
States judicial territory where the
victim resides. Investigation fol-
lows and, If the facts warrant, ar
rests are made. The campaign, mi
tiated by Attorney General PAL
mer, will go on according to II. L.
Van Sickler, in charge of the New
York office for Mr.. Riley, until
prices of food. clothing, fuel and
feed for livestock are brought to
more normal levels"

has taken its first legal slap at al
legged profiteers. The fee for taxi
hauls in the city limits has been
set at fifty cents per person, and
the fee for operation with city
license from within the city limits
to any place in the outlying oil dis
tricts has been limited to fifty
cents per mile per person.
This action was taken by the
city council in an ordinance after
a few instances of alleged over
charge had been reported. The
rates set for the city limits are. the
regular prices charged by the
service car men here, while the
limit on the rates for service out
side the city is higher than the
usual charges made by drivers, due
to the fact that a number of pas
engers usually make up each auto
load.
