"Afterward we learned that these
Indians were known as the Terre del
Fuego Indians. Their name was de-
rived from the land In which they
lived, dubbed Terre del Fuego by sail
ors, because of the peculiar blue light
that shone over the islands at times.
The Indians wore no clothes except
a loin belt, despite the extremely cold
weather. The belt they obtained from
the skin of a Gunaco, a species of
deer that thrives in that territory.

time one of our comrades died from
exposure and the rest were on the

citation will elect delegates to the

Will be carried on in the OPEN"
That is merely a formal statement.
President Roosevelt says other things
which give further indication that he
knows just what sort of a job he is
tackling. For instance he says, in the
New York World:
Naturally the people sought relief
In law. In this instance we passed
housing laws and rent laws that were
so extreme that we couldn't have
imagined them ten years ago. but they
were not only passed but upheld by
the courts. Now. 1 don't object to
those laws, but they had one limita-
tion-they brought rents down in
many instances; they landed some
profteers In jail they gave tenants a
standing in court which they had new
er had before; but they didn't provide
the buildings which the people so des-
perately needed.
In the meantime thoughtful peo-
pie realized that there was something
the matter much more difficult to deal
with than ~profiteering. In a word, IL
was waste. Twenty per cent Is looked
upon as an outrageous profit; but the
committee on the elimination of waste
of the Federated Engineering Societies
gave III leading industries the once
over and found hat we were wasting
double that mount. That, remember.
was the obvious waste. 1t didn't in
clude the waste of needless COMPETE
ton. 1t didn't include the waste
through failure to use methods not
hitherto employed.
"All dis-service is waste, but there
are a hundred conflicts In the con-
struction industry which result in the
duplication of effort and in loading
upon the ultimate consumer the cost
of a lot Of unnecessary work. The
law cannot stop these wastes. No
one can stop them except the industry
itself-and the industry cannot stop
them unless all factors In that indus
try come together for the common
purpose. Thai is what the organiza-
tlon of the National Construction
council means. 1t means that all con-
cerned have agreed to come together
on a program of maximum service.
"There is nothin' sociallstic, then,
in this undertaking. There is nothing
Utopian. There is nothing unselfsh,
even, or ~altruistic about 1t. 1t is sim
ply a case of a great industry which
has not been doing very well pulling
Itself together to see what can be
done. If this had happened forty
years ago the main idea might have
been higher profits, and some one
might have suggested some restric-
ton on the output. But we know bet
ter now. America is learning fast"

Capital and labor have often got to-
gether'' by methods that have sent the
'get-togethers" to prison. The public
hasn't been able to build, even at
prices that were practically prohibi-
tive.
President Roosevelt talks freely CON
corning his job. Here's an official
statement by him, just as he wrote it
Every component part of the build
ing industry has Joined in the forma-
ton of the American Construction
council.
PROBLEMS the council will attempt
to solve include two of immense i'm
portance to the public-ending unem-
ployment and lowering the cos of
building constructor.
N effort ever has been made to CO.
ordinate the various branches of the
building industry, although it is the
second largest indussyy in the United
States, giving employment to 2,000,-
600 men and with a delayed program
of new construction estimated at S15,-
O00,OO0.OO0.
There has been no system in build
ing construction, nc cooperation be-
tween contractors, material manufac-
turers and labor.
at is the aim now to bring all the
forces of building construction to-
gether.
Reports from members of the
American Construction council show
that the building industry is so far
revived that already a shortage of
skilled labor exists in certain local
tiles.
And it is predicted that before fall
there will be a general shortage of
common labor.
st is felt that great danger lies in
efforts suddenly TO resume all the
great building projects that have been
held up.
ITO avoid this danger 1t is planned
to lay out a national program If con-
struction work in the four great d.
visions-highway, railroad, municipal
and private building.
THUS labor will be steadied. In
stead of an overwhelming rush of
work at one moment and stagnation
the next-a feast for labor followed
by a famine-an adjustment of the
program can provide continuous labor
for everyone.
by team work among all construc-
ton interests q clearinghouse will be
established to collect Information on
projected building. Obstacles to low
ering the cost of construction will dis
appear.
Labor will be better off, with steady
wages the year around. The material
manufacturer will be able to operate
his factory on an even load. The con-
tractor will not be held up for lack of
material.
"In this manner the entire industry
can be put on the same economical
basis on which other industries are
run.
More than $50 national associa-
lions have Joined in creating the
American Construction council. There
are ten groups-architects, engineers,
general contractors. subco~ntractors,
construction labor, material and equip
ment manufacturers, material and
equipment dealers, financial, bond. in
and real estate organizations
public utility construction depart
cnents, and representatives of federal,
state, county and municipal bureaus
of departments concerned with con.
struction.

Its nose over professional baseball and
when the public began to talk about a
drastic censorship of the motion pic

and the movie goose realized that it
was high time to quit 1.-THE public be

up call for the best goose-doctor to
be had for love or money.
Now the construction industry, hav-
Ing arrived at the point where the
average man is afraid to build a
house and even the most reckless
takes out heavy insurance, has sent
out an S. o. S. call for the goose
doctor-and has got him on the job.
Which is to say. as most people
know, that Judge Kenesaw Mountain
Lands has left the federal bench to
make and keep baseball straight and
that VIII H. Hays has quit the Office
of United States postmaster general
to make and keep the movies decent.
Franklin d. Roosevelt is the third
goose-doctor. He has taken the job of
making and keeping the construction
industry straight and efficient.
Former Judge Lands is supposed to
get about $4,000 a year. Former Post
master General Hays is reported to
receive a salary OF 100000 a year.
What former Assistant Secretary of
the Navy, former Vice-Presidential
Candidate Roosevelt, gets is not known
but he will earn his salary, what
ever IL is.
From one viewpoint DR.. Roosevelt
has the biggest and hardest job of
the three. Construction Includes al
most everything from the putting to-
gether of a her coop TO the erection
Of a 20-story skyscraper and from the
laying of a cable to the building of
a reservoir dam. In fact, 1t is one of
our most important Industries. First
probably comes agriculture, then the
construction industry and then trans
portation. Right now, you know, there
is a tremendous shortage of homes
and living quarters all over the coun-
try, with high rents, and a host of at
tendant evils.
o Doctor Roosevelt is probably a good
man for this job. as Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy, they say he lever had
a single strike In a single trade in the
government shipyards during his sew
en- years. There must have been
something like 100000 civilians In
these s%hipyards. Credit for these con-
dltions is given to DR.. Roosevelt's
round-table conference methods under
which a grievance, real or imaginary.
could be threshed out.
These formidable methods will be
a feature of the American Construc-
ton council, as the new body IL called.
under the management of DR.. Roose-
Welt, its first president. Apparently
something of the kind is necessary.
Lack of coordination in the construc-
ton industry certainly has brought
lots Of trouble to all concerned. The
workers have not had steady work.
Violent strikes have been common.
