has developed a decided tendency on
the part OF many interests concerned
to operate on more reasonable cost
levels. This applies both to material
and labor interests.
While the testimony and figures re-
ceived by your committee show de-
cided reductions over previous costs,
experience since the hearings were

in a great measure due to the fact
that there are still available large

in addition. there is now n surplus of
skilled and common labor. all of which
creates a situation which gives the
consumer every advantage, should hc

operations in the immediate future.
This committee has been hampered
to a considerable extent through its
ports and records in several classes
of building materials; but notwith-
standing this, a comparison of avail
able figures reveals some rather
drastic increases over the pre-war
period, and the lack of proportionate
feductions in common with other
commodities.
AS an instance of this. it is noted
that plate glass in 1920 was 500 per
cent higher than in 1914. and is now
400 per cent higher, for which your
committee can find no reasonable
justification in the testimony SUBJ

We invite attention TO the fact that
there Is but one class OF building
tradesmsn which has increased its
wage rate In 1921. in the face OF re-
ductions in all other lines. and de-
spite the demand for such deflatiou
as would stimulate building construc-
ton. This is the plasterers, who have
raised their wage rate 22.3 per cent
over tht 1920 scale. The following
have not contributed at all to the de-
fiation. their scale remaining the same
as at the peak of 1920:

PINS HIS FAITH
TO REGULARITY
Says if Primary Carries Nc
Obligation It Is a
MOckery.

Threats of leaders In the overturned
Jewett- Roemler- Lemcke organization to
bolt the Republican party and refuse
to support Samuel Lewis Shank, It's
candidate for mayor in the Novem Der
election, have resulted in a number OF
precinct committeeman, coming to the
surface with declarations that they do
not share the views of the disgruntled
managers OF the campaign Of Thomas Z.
Howe.
James E. Mcdonald, Republican Com
mitteeman of the Second precinct OF the
Eighth ward, was one of those who de-
clared himself upon the subject today.
In a letter to the Editor of the Daily
Times Mr.. Mcdonald said:
LAS usual, following a primary, there is
mora or less murmuring and threats to
bolt the Republican nominee for mayor.
1t has even been reported, through the
press, that such a course had been dis
cussed at a meeting, in which Mayor
Jewett. Chairman Lemaux, Thomas c.
Howe, late candidate, and other supposed
leaders participated. II a primary cleo
ton means anything, it is that the diff
ferent factions and candidates win and do
SUBMIT Ihelr Respective CldlHs u the peO-
pie for their verdict and tacitly and
mutually agree to abide by that verdict,
and support the choice of the primary.
If a primary carries with it no moral OBJ
legation, upon those who participate in
it. to support the nominee, then it is a
mockery and & farce. In the absence of
positive fraud, on the part of the nominee,
it is political dishonesty to refuse him
loyal support. For leaders to so counsel,
is political sedition.
Il did not support Mr.. Shank in the
primary, but he was honestly nominated
and 1 shall do what l would have ex-
pected his supporters to do had my
choice been selected-vote for the
nominee"
