BOLSHEVIkI DECREE 81
WORKING HOUR WEEK

Here is curious comment on the
effect of Bolshevikism as applied to
labor:
A dispatch from Hclsingfors Rus
sia, coming by way of London, states
that Bolsheviki are undertaking to
compel the entire population of Rus
sia to work twelve hours day seven
days a week.
This report would seem to confirm
information heretofore coming from
Russia to the effect that the Soviet
Government is an autocra.ic and not
a popular government.

 ON THE
 COPPER SITUATION
 The copper industry is today admittedly face to face with a very serious situation.
 Caught with a huge supply of copper above ground at the close of the European war two years ago, it has been an un- equal fight ever since, with the copper companies OF the losing side.
 The red metal today is selling within half a cent of the lowest price in nearly seven years,
 Operations at the mines have been reduced to between 55% and 6O% capacity. The refined output of the country is in the vicinity of 125,OO0,OOO pounds monthly.

TO NAME TEN TO
FORM SYNDICATE
TO BUILD HOMES
Chamber Directors Clear
Way To Start Pro-
gram Here

Americus is going to start building
houses despite high prices. That
was decided today at a special meet
ing of the board of directors of the
chamber, at which reports were made
on the subject by special committees.
The building program will be put on
o patriotic and not an investment
basis. At the close of the meeting
President G. S. Glover was instructH
ed to appoint a committee of ten
men to organize building syndicate.
and the methods of building to be
pursued will be left to the committee,
but it is believed not less than the
100000 heretofore recommended
will be considered. At the meeting
three men, President Glover and
Frank Lanier expressed their willing
ness to put $4,000 each into the pro-
1ect if Frank Harold would take the
presidency, which he declined.
The action of. the commissioners
followed long discussion from which
it was decided that, while something
might be accomplished by getting
men to volunteer to build a certain
number of houses each in Americus,
a great saving in material costs,
labor, etc., could be effected by gong
into the business jointly, buying in
carload lots, and using uniform plans.
Ben c. Hogue was present and sub
mitted plans for cottage type house
which, including the value of the lot,
he could erect, he said, at maximum
cost of $4,000. The house is plain
in style, but substantial and COM
plete, and the plan met general APP
proval as structure that would
meet the present need in consider
able degree. 1t was given as the
Vopinion of real estate men present
hat this house when finished, if suit
able easy terms of payment could be
arranged, probably would sell for
$4,000.
Walter Rylander, who investigated
the ready-cut house proposition, stat
ed that, when considered along side
of Mr.. Hogue's estimate and pro-
posal, the ready-cut house was out Of
the question.
W. M. Jones, for the lot commit
tee, submitted a list containing sew
eral hundred suitable building lots
available at prices ranging from
5000 to $2,500..
