The Upper House of the Michigan

Michigan's brief experiment with
the state police system has been inter

OF the indictment OF some members
Of the force. one of the charges being
that of granddaughter. and the un.
scrupulous and careless behavior OF
others. In one instance three members
OF the constabulary decided to stop a
well.known business man who was
driving his automobile on the high
road. According TO Michigan press re.
ports they suddenly sprang In front
Of his machine and ordered him to
stop. He thought they were hold-up
men and speeded up his car in an ef-
fort TO escape, whereupon the state
police began shooting at him firing In
all, Il is stated. thirty-seven shots.
They afterward claimed that they had
ordered him TO stop because they
thought he had some liquor In his
machine and wanted TO search IT,

WAGES AND
THE COST OF
BUILDING
Facts and Figures Present
ed BY a Union
Workman
BY a Union Carpenter

Editor Review.
When you asked me to dispute the
statement that labor costs on build
ing amounted to SIS per cent OF the en-
tire cost | thought | would make an
estimate itemized to show the cost OF
the different tradesmen's labor, but
after considering that each separate
contractor is proclaiming that labor
is the big item in his prices ! decided
to let each trade defend itself
| being a carpenter must resent the
charges as carpenter. Having ac-
cess TO estimates on various build
ings, chiefly frame residences, these
estimates covering period of time.
dating back to 1907, | made compari-
sons of relative costs each year and
found that at no time has the carpen-
ter labor exceeded one-sixth or l6zs 70
of the cost of the entire job. Natur-
ally the carpenter gets to do the
greater amount of the work on
building especially ii it be frame con
struction than any other trade. so he
comes in for the greater number of
kicks and knocks. While writing this
| have before me an estimate made
in 1909 on frame house, stucco out
side walls, that was built for $3,564l6.
The carpenter labor cost $499.30, or
slightly over II per cent. ] also have
another of a Job that is in the process
of erection. II is a fiye-room, modern
frame. estimate $1,000. Carpenter la
Dor. $752.57. about Is per cent The
contractor adds 10 per cent to the Ia
Dor which brings il up to $S27.S3.
Now you can readily see that in or
der to make labor costs on job equal
So per cent other trades would have
to put in from two to five times as
much time as the carpenter or the
sub-contractors would have TO pad
their labor prices to an enormous
amount.
The statement that labor cost of a
building is So per cent is true, pro-
viding, you add costs of developing
the material from the raw to the put
ting in place No one denies that, but
when a contractor makes the state
ment he does not care to go back that
/ far. for il he did his share would be
out of proportion to that OF the other
distributors and he would be forced
| to either take a reduction or quit. A
| contractor on wood frame residence
work usually figures 10 per cent ad-
ditional on carpenter labor and then
per cent on the entire job. which
coupled on to the 10 per cent or more
discount on lumber and other mate
rial. makes him a nice little prc1t on
q lob. However, that profit car be
cut quite a bit by the foreman on the
Job not being an efficient man or
again the contractor himself may not
be as capable of handling work and
reading plans as he should be.
But as usual, the man furnishing
the tools, the muscle, and a GOOD
share of the brain work gets the cen
sure and blame for any reduction or
/ loss of profits
