CONTINUED INCREASES
Building Movement Is Likely to
Show Added Activities By
End of This Month.

The increase in THE building of
homes continues to make headWay
and is now exerting a distinct influ-
ence upon the wholesale lumber mar
ket, says the American Lumberman.
For example, last week the volume
OF sales of southern pine showed the
greatest increase of any week so far
this year.-sJudging from present con-
ditions it seems logical that If strikes
do not hinder the development of the
building movement it will attain
very substantial proportions by the
end OF May.
Retail lu1nbermen are beginning to
place orders for considerable guam
titles of stock and although there is
somewhat more than a normal stock
in manufacturers hands it is by no
means easy to secure some items. Pro-
dtlction is, on the whole, slightly less
than orders with the result that the
volume Of unsold lumber is SLOWLY
Wholesale prices have
been advanced slightly on. some items
and almost the entire list of prices
shows greater firmness. ~
In normal times approximately
two-thirds of the lumber produced
is consumed in building of one kind
or another, while the remaining third
is used by factories to make manu-
featured articles of all kinds. Thus
with building showing steady in
crease, with better outlook in the
factory trade-automobiQe body
builders report better business-the

BATTLEELOOKED FOR
IN CHICAGO STOCKYARDS
Police Reserves on Guard When
Strike-Breakers Prepare to
Replace Stock Handlers
CIV United Pressl

Chicago, May "A battle in
packing town" was anticipated
when strike breakers prepared to go
to work to take the places of 1900
live stock handlers who are on strike.
The handlers refused to accept the
eight cent an hour wage reduction Or
dered by the workers. A partial tie
up of the packing business is expect
ed as result, because the handlers
will not take care of all stock arriv-
ing in the stock yards. g..
Since all stock yard employees are
not unionized it is expected trouble
will ,ensue. Police reserves were on
guard early today The strike of
stock handlers means confusion in the
yards and possible loss of many cat
tie, because of the lack of care.
Packing house officials admitted
reluctantly that this may be the fore
runner Of "a greater strike. Pack
ing town's'' recent wage reduction
,n various classes of labor started up
.auch discomfort. \

STATE MAKES PLAN TO
PATROL TRUNK HIGHWAYS

Six hundred road patrolmen will be
employed by the state to maintain an
equal number of sections on the new
trunk highway system as soon as the
force can be organized, State High
way Commissioner G.. M. Babcock has
announced All of the Z, 900 miles Of
traffic will be Eatrolled in this IA
slhioE. Each patrolman will have
a team with a drag, a mower for
weeks and other implements for keep
ing up his section Of five to 10 miles
of road.
Experimenting these section men
will be floating gangs" of mainten-
ance men going about under orders
from the maintenance engineer Of the
division, doing the heavier jobs OF
repair, drainage, ETC., necessary to
keep the state trunk highways in
good condition.
The state has taken over the 1000
miles of highway and now is respon-
sible for them. With approximately
$2,50O,00O a year to be spent on
maintenance, Commissioner Babcock
expects to show important results in
the next few months. pfMainten-
ance," as he explained, includes ev-
erything except actual construction
of stretch of road, and much grad
ing and surfacing will be done by
the maintenance crews.
