EXPECT BAlLO0NISTS
TREkKING WAY HOME
TO EMERGE ANY Time
(By Associated Press

MATTICE, Ont, Jan. 10.-Dawn to-
day brought no tidings out of the
bleak north of the progress of the
three American naval balloonists
trekking slowly back to civilization
from Moose Factory, where they land
ed on Dec. IA, after a perilous flight
from Rockaway, N. Y. Continued alb
sence of information, however, did not
alarm the experienced trappers in
this section. They said the Americans
and their Indian guides undoubtedly
were slowed up considerably by the
established fact that Lieutenent Steph-
en- A. Farrell, the eldest of the trio,
had to be carried on sled. as his
feet were frost bitten. Under ordin-
airy circumstances the airmen might
have made this post two days ago.
The weather today was unusually
mild for this season of the year.
Some of the more optimistic watch
ers here believed that the airmen
would emerge from the wilds before
nightfall. According to general calcu-
lations by this tiny towns population
and the small army of newspaper men
and photographers. the long awaited
party probably was forty miles north
ward when they camped last night.
While the actual route selected by the
men is not known, by common con-
sent this town is now believed to be

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.--Although
expenditures for new building in Rich
mond. Ind, during 1920 showed de-
crease of approximately $160,000 over
the preceding year, according to the
annual report of the city building in
spector, statistics which have been
compiled in Washington indicate that
a slump in building activities was
general throughout the country last
year. In the central western states,
including Illinois, Indiana. Iowa, Wis
consin. Michigan and portions of east
ern Kansas and Nebraska, building
contracts in 1920 amounted to $780,
money value from the 1919 figures.
=. :. :. Totals in 1920.
Included in the 1920 totals for these
states were $780, ,S79 900, or 26 per
cent for public works and utilities;
$19S, 81 900, of 25 per cent, for indus
trial plants; s141,756, 900. or Is per
cent, for residential buildings, and
$130,355, 900. or 16 per cent, for busi-
ness buildings.
In the same section, during 1920,
completed work amounted to $1,S10,-
100000, which was more than double
the amount of contracts awarded. and
5000. 100000 more than the work pro-
jected in 1919
Expect Increase.
Experts predict that unless con-
ditions this year develop less favor
ably than is now expected, there
should be substantial increase in
construction in the central western
states, perhaps reaching billion
dollars for the year, and this con-
dition should apply to Richmond as
well as any other manufacturing cen
ter in the middle west.
Throughout the country there is a
considerable accumulated demand for
building and activity is quite slow at
this time, it is stated, on account of

Wholesalers said they believed the

Wholesalers feel more encour-

unstabilized price conditions and hes
itation on the part of prospective
builders because of uncertainties Of
future market conditions.
Prices Hold Level.
At the beginning. of 1919, building
material prices had remained, on the
average, at about the same level for
four months. They continued at this
Level during the first quarter of 1919.
About April, 1919, many people were
convinced that building costs would
not fall and activity increased rapid
ly. About two-thirds of the total of
the years building was contracted for
during the last half of the year
Government experts believe that a
somewhat similar situation will arise
this year. Material prices have not
yet reached the stage of stabilization
they had reached at the opening of
1913. Some further declines are eX-
pected, but the experts believe the
period of hesitation on the part of the
buying public will not be so prolonged
as 1t was two years ago.
Costs To Be Lower.
In an analysis of the present price
situation well known authority has
stated that the upward turn in mater
ial prices will probably occur some
time this year and that, in conse-
quence. building costs in 1921 will be
somewhat lower than they were in
1920 or are expected to be in 1922 and
1923.
Urging The adoption of the Lehlbach
bill for the reclassifcation of federal
employees, Luther c. Steward, prcsi-
dent of the National Federation of
Federal Employees, fires the following
broadside:
Everybody knocks the government
service, and why not: What can we
expect when
"The best jobs are handed out by
the politicians.
There are 10 or II rates of pay for
the same work
There is no future for workers ap-
pointed on merit.
And trained scientists get day Ia
borers' wages"
Mr.. Steward declares that the best
workers in the government service are
leaving by the thousands and says the
government has a turnover which
would wreck a private business. He
concludes his statement by insisting
that it is high time Uncle Sam had one
employment policy instead of 40 and
that there should be readjustment of
salaries which we're fixed during the
administration of President Buchanan.
