Those who follow President HARD

among the other good qualities

this, that he never whines.

BOLSHEVIST'S LUXURY
AMUSES BALTIC PRESS
Comic Papers Sarcastic OUer
Elaborate Dinner Set.

RIGA. Latvia, July "a. - The comic
press of the Baltic States has recently
INDUCED in much humorous sarcasm re-
garding the reported order by NJ.
Ganetzky. the Soviet Russian Minister
to Latvia, of hand painted china set for
his use on state occasions TO cost 100000
rubles. This is equivalent at present
rates Of exchange in Riga, to something
more than $1,000. The dinner service.
according to reports. is to be painted by
hand, with each piece representing "a
scene from Bolshevik life"
One of the comic papers depicts in
cartoon Ganetzky seated at table sur
rounded by this spectacular china, but
pushing away the plates and asking for
something TO eat.
In all of the Baltic States where the
Soviet Government has legations the
Ministers and their aids live in luXurl-
Gus contrast to conditions said TO- pre-
vail in Moscow and Petrograd, say the
Baltic newspapers. Each of the Minis
ters has a large automobile, and sum-
mer villas at the seaside have been en-
gagged for the Riga legation personnel.
Some of the Ministers have also bought
elaborately furnished town houses. Their
legations are housed In large hotels In
Helsingfors Reval, Riga and Kovno, the
entire buildings having been taken over
! for them
Between Riga and Moscow and Reval
and Petrograd luxurious saloon and
sleeping cars are operated for the beneht
| OF Bolshevik officials, while all other
passengers must crowd into unuphol-
stored, packed third class cars. The
| newspapers here and in other Baltic
States frequently point to these condi'
tions and contrast them with Communis-
| tic IDEALS.

BUILDING AT MERCY
OF INFLATED COSTS
Labor and Material Prices
Blamed for Paralysis to
, Industry.

Controversies. strikes and lockouts
have parayzed the building industry
throughout the country, increasing the
housing shortage and imposing hardship
upon the entire country. according to
an analysis of the situation issued yes
terday by a special committee of the
Merchants Association. The conditions
have been particularly bad in the large
cities Philadelphia, Boston, Cleveland
and Rochester especially. In Boston
alone building construction amounting TO
S20,000000 has been held UP because OF
impossibly high wages and the high cost
of material.
Looking over the whole country, the
committee gives some of the reasons and
factors for stagnation in the building OF
homes and in construction generally:
High labor costs due to the advancing
wage SCALE inefficiency Of labor and
labor waste.
High costs of building materials due
to unaccountably high prices and arti-
fcial means of keeping prices UP.
The natural rise in the cost of raw
materials, particularly food materials.
High transportation costs due to
denoralized conditions and embargoes
and advancing freight rates.
shortage and unwarranted prices of coal.
Money situation due to the great ex-
pansion of credit and imitation of cur
rency resulting from borrowing, eX-
travagance, waste and expenditures
principally for unproductive purposes,
followed by the sudden and radical re-
striction of credits, the diversion of
money to commercial activities and tax
exemption securities financing costs OF
the war by the imposition of income and
excess profits taxes. which the consum-
ing public are bound to pay in a large
measure lack of money for building
operations caused by the declination OF
banks to make loans through distrust OF
the stability of values of buildings; by
insufficient return on the operation OF
buildings and the apparent hostility OF
the public to the collection by the owner
of a sufficient return, and by insufficient
return on mortgages due to the Federal
income tax.
Attitude of the public due to the
falling market, which encourages wait
ing policy, and doubt as to the con.
tinuance of the present prevailing higf
prices OF building construction, together
with reluctance to build now while they
do prevail.
Collusion.
Proflteering.
Imitation in the prices of buildinl
materials has amounted in many cases
to 200 per cent, the special committed
finds The attitude of the labor unions
in maintaining unreasonable wages IL
the face of general readjustment is ar
important factor. One Of the most i'm.
portant causes of all is the general in.
efficiency of labor the country over.

Foreign Interests Hinted.

Mr.. Quarles cited the assertion at
tributed to Elmer Schiesinger, general
counsel for the Shipping Board, in the
morning newspapers, nat foreign inter-
ests had nothing TO do with the seizure
and that the board did not act until
after it had expert counsel from Charles
Birmingham, an admiralty lawyer
"Tt is our understanding" he said"
that Mr. Birmingham is closely asso-
ciated with the International Mercantile
Marine and other foreign shipping in
terests."
So far as Mr. Quarles has been able
to ascertain, no intimation was given
by the Shipping Board that it in
tended seizing the vessels until j. Bar
stow Smull, vice-president of the board,
and Mr.. Schlesinger walked into the
companys offices late Friday afternoon.
Mr.. Quarles said he called Francis X.
Mayer, president of the company, at the
suggestion of Mr.. Smull and that the
latter then demanded the 100000
charter hire. When Mr.. Mayer suggested
waiting until Monday morning, he said,
Mr. Smull refused to do so and an
nounced he would seize the ships im-
mediately.
Mr.. Quarles said that so far as he
knew the ships would not have been
seized IL the charter fees had been paid
He added this matter could have been
attended to If Mr.. Smull had only agreed
to put it over until this morning.
1--WE do object. and strongly, to being
hit below the belt when doing every
| thing in our power to put the American
flag. back on the seas" he said. Re
member, the British Government stands
back of shipping company in way
| impossible in a republic"
! Shipping men generally discount the
assertion that seizure of the vessels was
in any way dictated by the Trans
atlantic Conference. Many of them fee
| that the seizure at this time was
blunder. The Shipping Board. they as
sert. should have given the line rev
days notice before taking such drastic
action.
The United American Lines, to whicf
| five of the seized United States MAJ
liners were allocated temp or-trilv, ISSUED
the following statement last night:
"The America and the George wash

Continued from First Page.

to the company we agreed to a partial
reconditioning of some of the ships in
order to meet the request OF the board
that the flag be put back on the Atlantic
at the earliest possible moment.
None of the ships has been fully re-
conditioned, and therefore the sum Of
s40O, 600 claimed for charter hire by the
board is not due, as the contract states
that it will be due when the ships are
fully recondtioned."
Mr.. Quarles said most of the steam
ships were at sea as transports when
the company chartered them from the
Shipping Board, and that when they
were turned over to them it was found
they were in worse condition than had
been represented on paper by the board
officials.
