conditions. the average, they say, is
now around 1,400 and 1900. 1t is con
tended that the prospective builder
will gain more by this sort Of coopera-
ton on the part Of well-psid work
man than by price reduction that will

contractors for the most capable work

Speculative builders, who in the final
analysis are thc building factor that
makes, by activity Or inactivity. a
building market great or small, are, new
ertheless, holding back for labor to
take visible share OF tne readjust-
ment program in the building industry,
with the result that by June ], when
many of the present-day problems will
have been ironed out, there will be n
decided rush for building material and
equipment supply. This is amply evi-
denced by the increasing activity Of
architects and engineers and the pur-
chasing agents of large corporations.
In consequence there has been consd-
cradle future delivery buying and call
purchases in some lines, not only from
dealers, but from manufacturers at dis

Americans i'm Mexico
Tc Contest Income Tax
Suits To Be Filed in Baltimore
Will Open Campaign of
Expatriates

MEXICO CITY, April 3.-Collcction
Of United States income taxes from
Americans resident in Mexico will be
contested in the United States courts,
according to an announcement by
committee representing group OF
Americans here.
The announcement stated that suf-
ficient funds already have been raised
to start two suits, for testing the right
Of the United States government to tax
non resident American citizens and
that these suits will be filed in the
Federal District Court at Baltimore
One Of the suits will be filed on behalf
of Am ericans whose entire income is
derived and expended in Mexico and
the other on behalf of individuals
whose income is partly derived from
Mexican sources and partly from
sources within the United States
1t was made clear that companies
and corporations, such as those operat-
ing mines and oil wells, are not en-
braced in the suits, which relate sole
ly to individuals.
Action taken by the committee in
Mexico Is expected to serve as prece-
dent for Americans in other countries.
The amount of taxes affected in the
case of Americans resident in Mexico
is understood to be less than
$4,000, 900.

Philadelphia Minimum
Wage Held Insufficient

PHILADELPHIA, April 3.-The
minimum living wage level for Phila-
delphia at present is $2,385.27 a year
according to the results of an extern
sive survey completed last week by the
Labor Bureau, Inc, for the Philadel-
phia District Council of the Brother
hood Of Painters, Decorators and
Paper Hangers, it was announced last
nigh.
The bureaus report says this figure
represents a wage level "below which
no family can afford to live without
danger of physical and moral de-
terioration," adding that it represents
not a "health and comfort" level, but
minimum of health and decency
level"
The husband, according to the
budget, is allowed one-half and the
wife one-third Of an overcoat a year.
The wife is allowed two nightgowns
year. The husband can get his suit
pressed but once year The wife is
allowed a winter hat every other year.

Apparel

Following the seasonal improvement
before Easter, interest in apparel lines
in general has subsded somewhat.
Buyers are now in the market looking
for close-out lots of merchandise at
low prices. Their experience in finding
such goods varies, some Of them assert
ing that manufacturers stocks are
heavy and that concessions are being
made. A more conservative view, how
ever, is that although there are some
manufacturers who are overstocked,
the market in general is not carrying
an uncomfortable surplus.
Mems clothing producers in Chicago
and women's garment manufacturers in
Cleveland last week began movements
looking toward further wage reduc-
tions. In New York the strike or lock-
out in the mems clothing trade con-
tinues and is no nearer settlement than
it was months ago. Sentiment in the
manufacturing trade is decidedly to-
ward lower wage scale and efforts
undoubtedly will be made to put it
into effect before operations for the
fall season are begun.
More activity in the hosiery and un-
derwear markets WAS reported last
week. Silk hosiery appears to be in
better demand than cotton. Some job
bers of underwear have placed small
orders for fall delivery, but not to an
extent that gives much encouragement
to manufacturers.

petition of German Trade:
Cotton Conference To-day

WASHINGTON. April 3.-Defense of
the nations war-born dye industry
against competition Of the German dive
and chemical trade will be taken up
soon by the Department of Commerce
III conference here with representa-
tlves of American manufacturers
Rapid revival of the German industry'
especially as factor in foreign trade.
department officials said tonight, must
be taken into account by American in
tcfests that the industry may be Sc
cure here and the country remain in
dependent OF foreign sources of supply.
Other American products needing the
cooperation of the government in the
iield of foreign trade, according to Sec
retary Hoover, will be given the atten
ton Of the department one at a time
Mr.. Hoover is to meet with the War
Finance Corporation and Southern
BANKERS tomorrow in an effort to de-
velop workable plans for building up
cotton exports.
The credit angle in the trade revival
program, officials said, is in the hands
of the War Finance Corpo ration, which
is expected to aid the exporters through
corporations organized under the Edre
act in different sections of the coun~
try. In addition, formation of com
blnatlons for extending foreign com
merce under the Webb -Pomerene act
has been advocated by Secretary
Hoover as the most practical method Of
moving commodities after credit has
been obtained, and also as defense
against similar combinations by for
elgn exporters.
Government experts, in commenting
tonight on the situation, expressed the
opinion that American concerns should
follow their goods to the market rather
than rely upon foreign middlemen to
dispose Of the commodities. In many
foreign countries where American
goods are competing with the French
and the British, they said, the Ameri-
cans were selling through wholesalers.
who naturally favor their own ma
tlonals wherever possible American
merchants. they added, should make
their front line the foreign markets
rather than the port of shipment
Strengthening of the country's ship
ping position, Commerce officials as
serted, would naturally follow the for
elgn trade revival, to which the Ad-
ministration is now giving its efforts.
Resumption Of the flow of American
goods to the ports of the world, thew
contended, would provide the business
to take American shipping out of it's
present slump.

Leather

general Improvement in the condi-
ton Of the trade was pcrceptiblc last
week, Although the quantities called
for in the orders have not reached any
large dimensions, leather men reportcd d
gradual increase in the volume of or
ders received Trade men asserted that
.he demand for leather specalties, al,
though falling off slightly, has contin-
ued beyond their expectation 1t is
the opinion OF one factor that the de-
mand for this line of goods will con-
tinue for about three months. Reports
received from sections in the West in
dicated that fair sized demand for
specialties still exists.
In the shoe phase of the industry
orders received by statesmen, in most
instances, call for immediate shipment.
This policy of ordering indicates that
buyers apparently are in need of sup
plies. Orders calling for future deliv-
cry have not reached any favorable vol
ume, it is said. Prices in the leather
market, in many cases, have been sub
iected to shading

France Increases Tariff:
U. S. Imports Excepted
Previous Rates Kept on Ameri.
can Goods, Despite Change to
Protect Her Industries

PARIS, April (By The Associated
Press).--The Official journal publishes
this morning a decree signed March
20 increasing the duty on importations
on numerous commodities. Article II
provides that importations originating
IN the United States shall remain ad-
1nissible under the terms of the pre-
vious general tariff. The increases
will become effective immediately.
Goods now in transport, however, will
be exempt from the new rates.
Premier Brands covering letter in
transmitting the decree says the pur-
pose of the revision Of the tariff is
the safeguarding of national indus
tries which are menaced, not only for
development, but for existence, be-
cause OF the competition of other coun-
tries and through deprecated ex-
change"

.Jcwelry


Nothing of Importance developed
in the iewelry trade last week. Retail
ers reported that the steady volume of
sales which have been received in the
last month still continue to come in
Their stock Of goods, however, is said
to be in such a state as to warrant buy
ing only in small quantities as the oc-
casion arises. Wholesalers, as result
OF the policy adhered to by retailers,
are not receiving a favorable volume
OF orders. The same state of affairs
is found in the manufacturing line.
Wholesalers also arc ordering con-
servatively Of manufacturers. The cost
Of labor employed in the trade, which
has not been subject to any reduction,
has been an important factor in the
maintenance Of firm prices on jewelry.

Price trends are still downward in
most commodities, and fluctuations
were confined within small limits. Raw
materials in the textile and leather
field, although showing more frmness,
did not make noticeable advances. The
Impression is growing that such COM
modities as raw wool, silk, cotton and
hides are fairly we'll stabilized for the
time being.
Retail trade, according to all reports,
showed slight falling off, which was
not unexpected, following Easter. Ad-
verse shopping conditions throughout
the North and East also aided in hold
ing down retail sales.
Business surveys just completed by
number of financial institutions and
other organizations all point to the
fact that tho general situation is dis
tinctly improved compared to the OPEN
ing of the year, but that ultra -conserv-
atism is still being practiced in all
lines of industrial and commercial en-
deavor.

WOOler,s

The wooden and worsted goods bust
ness appears to be more than holding
its own. The good buying of fall fab
RIGS begun some time ago proceeded
last week and new openings of goods
met with a good response from buyers.
The many withdrawals of lines because
of productions being sold up is has
tening some buyers to the market, but
has not precipitated rush for goods
or led to higher prices in primary cir
cles. Among jobbers better prices are
ruling, but this merely indicates the
elimination Of the desire to liquidate at
any cost.
Production in the wooden and worst
ed field is increasing. according to the
monthly report issued last week by the
Department of Commerce, the advance
between February and March being
much greater than that between Janu-
airy and February.

Silks

The silk trade continues to lead the
textile field, in the opinion of most
trade leaders. Business has been steady
in silks almost from the beginning Of
the year. Orders arc being placed for
delivery further into the future and
high quality goods are in brisk de-
mand. Prices have been fairly steady,
largely because Of the steadincss of the
raw silk market. The new loan 20 the
Imperial syndicate in Japan, it is be-
lleved. will enable that organization to
continue its successful pegging Of raw
silk prices for some time to come,
Raw silk prices hardened during the
week under strong demand and q
short supply Of some of the most want
ed sizes and grades in this market. Re-
ports from primary raw silk markets
indicated more activity and slightly ad-
vanced prices.

Raw cotton and finished goods were

tho rally the previous week primary
cotton goods dropped slightly. and then
gave another display OF strength
toward the close of the week. On the
whole, however, gray goods closed last
week slightly lower than the week be-
fore.
One Of the outstanding features of
the cotton goods trade is that fabrics
that go into retail consumption, either
as yard goods over the counters of
the stores or in the form of garments,
titles than arc the goods used in the
mechanical trades.
With the exception Of line Of shirt
materials no new goods were offered

line of cotton fanncls was withdrawn
from sale, as the fall production has
