TAKING TIME BY THE FoRE-LoCK.

Have the business men and the laboring mer
of Albuquerque enough foresight and enough en-
crgy to act in the face of a threatened blow tC
prevent that blow from falling?
Right now this city is in the best economic con-
dtion of any city of its size in the United States
But it will not be able to continue in that situation
through the coming summer unless affirmative ac-
ton is taken to keep it
I,aboring men have the reputation of being
short-sghted. VIII the building trades of this city
show that this is not true Of them? These men
must be fully aware of the fact that labor has been
able to make progress and to enforce its demands
only when the amount of work ohtainable has eX-
ceeded the amount of labor available. Whenever
this condition is reversed and there are more ap-
plicants for work than there are jobs to be had,
necessity leads laborers to bid against each other
and wages and conditions of labor weaken +
In hundreds of cities in the United States labor
is idle and hungry and is ready to go to work upon
such terms as may be offered
Albuquerque has several large building projects
in contemplation. The hotel, the Santa Fe hospital
the First National building, the State National
building, the National Life building and the new
High School, to mind at the moment. In ad-
dition, the demand is here for hundreds of homes
and apartments. They could be filled upon com
pletion.
Much of this work is delayed by the unsettled
conditions of the labor and material markets, The
owners of these proposed buildings know that they
can well afford to pay a somewhat higher price for
construction if by doing so they can sustain the
community through year which otherwise threat
ems to be hard But they will not build in the face
of unsettled labor and material conditions.
VIII labor wait until it is idle and therefore
helpless? VIII material men hold out for high
prices until the trade is dead?
Albuquerque should make this bargain year"
for building Men should gladly make inducements
which will keep times good in this community. Any
other attitude is short sighted and suicidal
owners of vacant real estate should offer ten
or fifteen per cent discount in prices to any who
will build upon it. Labor should take dollar a
day less and agree that the reduction is to hold for
the year Material men should meet every market
reduction and agree to accept minimum profit to
stimulate building.
Why must we sit with idle hands until the bio"
falls making labor idle and the trade stagnant? If
we do not act such a condition is coming,
We should have a committee of five each
from the building trades the contractors, the ma
teria men, the real estate and the Chamber of
Commerce, to take this matter up at once and seek
to work out a solution.
We should take time by the fore-lock. There is
an awful kick attached to taking it by the fet"
lock.
