cover and correct the causes of the
progressive decline in the supply and
quality of workers in the industry.
To study the needs of the industry
in and the sources of supply of raw
materials and manufactured products,
the quantities of such now available,
and to determine the national rer
quirements of constructions in 1921
and succeeding years.
Among the problems to be consid-
erred by the organization are listed
the following:
How shall abundant credit resources
be- made available, at reasonable cost,
to the industry in order that it may
function in satisfying public need?
How shall the industry be led to
adopt a uniform and equitable policy
in bidding and with respect to con-
tract terms and conditions?
How is genuinely cooperative ef-
fort by employers and wage eaners
whether the wage earners be organ
lied or unorganized) to be substituted
for the antagonism which. in the past,
has checked productions?
There is another body working for
the same objects but which, at the
present time, is not associated with
the national congress. This body is
the National Federation of Construc-
ton Industries, with headquarters in
Philadelphia While the objects of
both of these large bodies are the
same, the means being used to accom-
plish the desired ends are slightly
different.

WOUD RESTORE CONFIDENCE
IN THE BUILDING INDUSTRY

|. New York, April "A nationwide
drive to rehabilitate and restore pub
lie confidence in the building and con-
struction industry of the United
States by wiping out 'wasteful
strife" and by uniting the various ele-
ments and interests into one big CO.
operative association has been launch

tional Congress of the Building Con-
struction Industry.

principal cities of the country, it was
announced here today at the head
quarters of the congress, and it is
planned to convene the first national
assembly of this organization in Chi

the building trades, architects and

"The industry has been headless.

the consequences. of the self-imposed
isolation" said statement by the
executive board of the national con-
gress. sThe functions of its parts
must be co-ordinated. Cooperation
must take the place of wasteful
strife.
"Such action, if intelligently car

interest and, therefore. must also be
in the interest of the industry. The
right type of cooperation under lib
eral leadership offers the only method
OF reconciling the demand of the in
dustry for its own prosperity and the
demand of the public for adequate
and economical construction. Such a

of common purposes, means funda-

frankly assuming the obligation Of a
group associated with the primary
purpose of supplying the public
need"
The Congress proposes:

needs of the industry IN workers and
