 Common sense should tell them that they have got to take a cut" de- clared Schwartz. t"They should be willing to accept it as we'll as the men in the factories. How else can we stimulate business?
 Everything else in the building line has dropped. The price of 1um- Der, plaster and everything used in building has come down, and the bosses have taken the loss.
 There would be plenty of work if wages were reduced" he concluded. Every day people on the street say that they are going to build as soon as the cost of labor drops. At present labor is 75 per cent. of the cost of construction, and I think that the carpenters would rather see plen- ty of work ahead at 80 cents an hour than none at S1 an hour.'' Painters, maSonS, plumbers and other union men have not yet taken hand in the squabble. Most of these tradesmen are working under contracts which have yet another month to run. According to all in- dications, however, more trouble will occur if the general wage cut pre- dicted for all trades is enforced.

PRICE DECLINE CONTINUES IN
 LONDON

London-Who1esale prices in Great Britain took a pronounced fall during the month of December, according to a report issued by the American Chamber of Commerce in London.
 According to the index number a tota fall of 670 points took place during the month of December, fol- lowing decline of 5S1 points in the previous month.
 The biggest drop was recorded in the textile group, which showed a decrease of twenty points during the month. The highest figure for this group was reached in March last, when the index number stood at 161.
 The basic figure for all groups is 100, based at the price of the vari- ous commodities at the time of the armiStice.
 The cereal and meat group was re- sponsible for a drop of eleven points, the highest point being reached in October, when the number was 121.
 That the decline in wholesale prices has at last reached the consumer is shown by the fact that the index cost of living for a working class family has dropped twelve points during the past two months and is expected to show a further decrease during the coming months.
