TO Defend
Benefits From
Low Sea Rates
Merchants Association Will
Be Represented at Hear
ing in Chicago Tuesday
on Railroad Competition
Morgan Line in the Fight
Interstate Commerce Conn
n,ission Opens Question
Of Rail and Water Cost

Nav York shipping interests will
srossst against the attempt Of Middle
western cities to deprive this port OF
lhs advantages due to its seapoard
,..stsan. A hearing viii be held next
ysesday In Chicago at which the In
%srseass Commerce Commission will
t.ks the testimony on the issuance by
he Southern Pacific Company of
n.w rate schedule effective on its rail
sns water route, between New YORK
and Pacific Coast ports. J. Y. Lincoln,
/, manager Of the traffic bureau OF the
Merchants Association, wlli appear In
behalf Of local shippers.
IRE southern Pacific Company last
laws nnt into effect q new schedule
- ,.tss haswssn Nav York City and
AZ Pacific Coast ports. This schedule
yvaa based upon The fact that the
s,stsy hauI by the Morgan Line equals
mo 'n.iIes Of rail line. The new rates
were designed TO meet the water COM
setition through the Panama Canal,
! which had been taking the trafsc away
from the Southern Pacific Company,
and they were lower than the all-raif
rates between New York City and San
Francisco.
Middle Western points filed a pro
lest against these rates on the ground
that they were too low and were in.
turing the commerce OF the Middle
West. Upon this application the In
terstate Commerce Commission sus-
pended the Southern Pacific rates and
has announced hearings.
The tariff, which has become sub
ject Of controversy, establishes rates
from the New York City piers of the
Morgan Line to California points
through Galveston and over the South
srn Pacific rail lines to California.
These rates are applied as maximum
rates at Intermediate points. The re-
auctioHffollows the practice which ex-
listed before the war. 1t recognizes the
principle that the Southern Pacific
rates should not be governed by the
all rail tariff from New York to Cali
forria, but should recognize water
ecmpetition and the fact that a great
mart Of the haul over the Southern
Pacific route is by water. Before the
var the New York pier rate was ap-
piled by the Transcontinental Lines as
the basis for the rates from Chicago
to California.
In other words, the practice which
the Southern Pacific company seeks to
revive gives New York City the benefit
Of its seaboard position.
The commercial interests of the Mid
dis West and the Transcontinenta
Lines west of Chicago are opposing the
restoration of the old practice They
are eadssvoring to prolong the situation
created by the Railroad Administration
EAsl the canal route was discontinued
as result Of war conditions and thus
70 divert business from Eastern terri
tory to the Middle West. The Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad, the Union
Pacific and the Western Pacific COM
ltsnigs have joined in opposing the res
rsrasion of pre-war conditions on the
sasshern Pacific lines and are attempt
iag to compel the Southern PACIFIC COM
pahy to adhere to the all rail basis, de-
psiving the shippers of New York City
q the advantages of low water rates.

U. S. BUILDING WORK
MAY BREAK RECORD
Large Amounts of Capital Going
Into Industry and Demand for
More Funds Is Steady.

Large amounts OF capital now going
into the building industry and the
steady demand for additional funds
indicates that new building opera
tions throughout the country may
reach record breaking proportions for
the year, according to the S. ".
Straus Company of New York.
ut is to be noted that labor condi-
lions in the building industries are
better than have been observed for
some time and that prices of ma
teria1s have reached condition of
stability" the firm states
THE tendency in building material
costs. in fact, lis toward higher levels,
which may be expected to continue as
building operations expand There is
also growing appreciation of the
fact that permanent improvement can
best be brought about through the
natural and normal channels that
have built up our great American
cities.
The immense amount Of new build
ing operations now getting under way
throughout the country will have a
helpful effect on general business and
the unemployment situation. so that
the large construction gains now be-
ing accomplished WILL we are sure
prove the forerunner of more prosper

$4,000 Dwellings
NEEDED ANNUALLY
Associated General Con-
tractors Estimate Number
of New Homes.

Approximately $4,000 new homes
are needed each year to take care
of the, increase of this countrys
population. according to an inter-
esting summary of statistics pre-
pared for the Associated General
Contractors of America, headquar-
ters of which are in Washington.
1t is pointed out that attempts have
sometimes been made to estimate the
number Of new homes required by
ascertaining the number of marriages.
on the assumption that each mar
riage implies one new home. Such
estimates are usually applied to in
dividual cities rather than to the
country at large. but in either case
they take no account of the fact that
families are constantly disappearing.
due to the deaths of the old people!
This mortality Of families is a large
and not by any means an insignifi-
cant factor. Which would have to be
offset against the figures for the
number OF new families created by
marriages. No statistics are avail
able from which an accurate adjust
ment of this kind could be made.
Two Factors Involved.
The annual requirement for.n new
homes is the sum of two factors:
The increase in the number of fami-
lies due to the growth of the popula-
ton and the loss of dwelling places
due to fire and destruction. removal
of the old to provide for better
