BUILDING TRADES
HEAD FAVORS CUT
Says Labor Must Accept Re-
duction if Fl. C. L. Lowers.

WASHINGTON, Dec 24.-Labor is as
responsible for the high cost Of building
and the resultant housing shortage as
any other element in the building indus
try. John FL. Donlin, head Of the build
ing trades department Of the American
Federation OF Labor, declared today, com
meuting on the statement made in the
Senate yesterday by Mr.. Calder, chair
man of the Senate Committee en- Recon
struction.
Labor in the building industry must
accept q reduction in wages If the cost
Of living comes down sufficiently" said
Don1in, agreeing With Senator Calder.
There is plenty of evidence that the
dealers In building materials began the
circle Of profteering. They charged ex-
orbitant prices 70 the contractors and
the contractors charged exorbitant prices
to the public and labor demanded com
paratively high wages. The high rents
that resulted have reacted on labor In
the building trades as on every member
Of the public, so 1t should not be ex-
pected to take the first step to reduce
building costs by accepting lower wages.
1.-THE reduction must come from the
top. 1 can't say whether labor will ae-
cept lower wages If the cost of living
falls, but I agree with Senator Calder
that it must.
Every element in the building indus
try is responsible for the high cost of
building and housing shortage"

$81,O57.1O PRICE
FOR PAVEMENT
Virginia Avenue Contention
Settled by Agreement.

The board of public works and attor-
neys for the Premier Construction Com
pany today reached an agreement in a
controversy over payment for the pave
ment of Virginia avenue between Louisi-
ana and Maryland streets, which has been
a bone of contention for several weeks
The contract price for the pavement,
which was made with wooden block, was
500, 600. However, there were several
changes in the specifications after the
contract was let, considerable work being
eliminated and some added. When the
matter of final payment came up several
weeks ago the Premier Company held
out for $St.e0O while City Civil Engineer
Frank C. Lingenfelter refused to approve
any payment above $4,000
The company threatened to sue for
the original contract price Of $4,000.
After several conferences during the past
week, the board finally agreed today to
pay SS1 .o57.10. The expense will be met
out Of track elevation funds.

INDIANA DAILY. TINES, FRIDAY, DECEMBER "a, 1920
TAX INCREASES
81 TO 1914 PER CEN
Computed From Figures of
State Board.

Increases in taxes to be paid in 1921
over those paid in 1919, the rates for
which were set the year before the State
tax law became effective, range from 81
to 194 per cent in most OF the taxing
units of the county, according to cal
culations made on the basis Of figures
given out ny the State Board of Tax
Commissioners today.
The figures were given out for the pnr
pose OF showing a. reduction In the tax
rates, which undoubtedly has been
brought about The reduction, however,
resulted from enormous increases In prop
erty valuations and not through any re-
ductions in revenues
Where the tax board made It's error in
setting out its rate opaganda for the
benefit OF Legislators and others was to
set out the tax rate which would be
necessary under the 1918 valuation to
raise the revenue 20 be collected in 1921
on the 1920 rate and valuations.
These theoretical figures nre in many
cases moro than double the rates for
1918. The proportion of the rate in 1918
to the rate which would have existed
this year II valuations were not In
creased Is exactly the same as the pro-
portion OF taxes paid on the 1913 figures
to the taxes to be paid on the basis Of
the present figures
Therefore, In order to ascertain the
percentage Of increase, all that is neees
sary is TO subtract the 1918 rate from
the 1920 rate and divide the difference
by the 1915 rate.
On this basis some OF the principal
taxing units will pay additional taxes
next year as follows Franklin town.
