BUILDING
MATERIAL
STILL HIGH
Double That of Pre-War
Prices-Wages Nowhere
in Comparison
lBy Federated Press.A


Observation-Disclosures figures
showing that wages in the building in.
dustry are a minor factor in comput-
ing the final cost contractors here are
asking building workmen To accept a
reduction of 20 per cent from their
scale of $i.25 and 81 an hour. This,
they claim, must be done If construc.
ton is to go ahead. Numerous build
ing experts and labor leaders declare
that the real impulse to construction
can come only with reductions in the
prices of materials, which, they say.
from the greater item in the industry
Figures, compiled by contractor
and published here, show that since
1914 building materials on an average
have increased in price It's per cent.
Wages, on the other hand. have gone
up only So to Sc per cent and, in some
instances, even less.
The March bulletin of the Illinois
Society of Architects gives figures
demonstrating that while lumbermen
are pointing to the fact that their
product had dropped so per cent. it
still is in some grades from 70 to 1870
per cent higher than before the war
Even IL the figures of the contractors
are accepted-they maintain that pres
ent prices are from rs to 100 per cent
over the 1914 figures--lumber's pres
ent increase over pre-war prices is
from "a to "A per cent greater than
that OF labor.
