at an exceedingly high price.
This citizenship of Chickasha represented
at the mass meeting does not intend to allow
the principle of right to be sacrificed. and wish
to go on record further with this statement
They emphatically disapprove of boycotts to
erect the demands of organized labor or capi-
tai; that we approve of every Individual, everv
corporation, co-partnership business of anv
and all natures, conducted on fair and lepiti
mate basis.
We are entering into new era-efficien-
cy will have it's reward.
we respectfully submit this open state

PLAN TO REDUCE
BUILDING COSTS
Charged Wilmington is Dis
criminated Against in
Price of Materials
CONTRACTORS FAVOR
BUILDERS EXCHANGE

Plans 10 stimulate the building
work in Wilmington through forma-
ton OF an organization embracing all
branches OF building operations were
made last night at a meeting in the
Ncw Century Club OF nearly 1O0
contractors. called by the Master
Trilders' Association.
Charges were made that this city
IS Disseminated against in cost OF
building material. and a committee
cf three was named 10 tabulate
prices in Wilmington with thoss Of
nearby cities.
Tire opinion was expressed that
there has been a considerable re-
duction in the cost OF building ma
terials as we'll as a drop in labor
cost in other cities, but that in this
city, while there is plenty OF labor
and the costs for labor do not worry
the master builders. the price OF
materials has been practically un-
changed.
II was decided that the question was
not one alone OF adjustment between
employer and employe in the build
ing industry. but Of concerted action
on the part of temployer, worker and
material manufacturer as will ad-
Just building costs TO the level neces-
. sary to induce the public to enter the
construction market.
It was maintained that under pres
ent conditions. the employer IS un-
able TO obtain contracts and ceases
to employ labor; consequently labor
is without opportunity for work and
the market OF the material dealer
has vanished
one OF the builders attributed the
mn i'm the building industry TO
frozen credit. frozen exchange and
frozen feet" adding tnat there were
lots OF the latter.
Speaking Of prohteering on
local builders by the produce
ers. it was stated that Whining
ton builders were charged approx
mately three times as much for
brick as builders in other cities. Il
was suggested that this prodteering
might be stopped by cooperative
buying In large quantities.
j. a. Bader suggested appointment
OF "a committee 10 ascertain pre-war
prices and prices today so as to
show a level at which 10 begin TO
do business. As a basis he said the
committee might figure just what
relation exists between the cost Of
$500 house with the wages OF a
worker who gets s35 a week and
has TO pay $35 a month rent.
During a controversy some months
ago with carpenters over their wage
scale. Mr.. Bader said a board OF arbi-
tration had gathered data and decid-
ed that S24oO was minimum amount
81 which a mechanic could subsist and
maintain an average family. The
suggestion that a reduction in
wages would help TO stimulate the
building industry did not meet with
the approval OF a large percentage
OF those present.
Formation OF permanent asso-
citation OF all classes OF builders was
entrusted 20 committee headed by
John +. Healy.

While President Wilson's slogan.

pose, the American jazz is making the
world safe for dance maniacs just the

greater delight in the "shmmy" and
fox trot than in discussion concern
ing the world peace and democracy. At
least, this is what is taking place among
the people Of the Mikado's empire.
The following is an extract OF the re-
port of the jazz maniacs in Nippon:
