CONFERENCE0N
CONSTRUCTION
] 'TOA|DbU|LD|NG
Great Interest Attaches to Big
Sessions In Chicago Early
In April.

With building getting under way
on an unprecedented scale. unusual
interest centers in the national con-
ference on construction. which has
been called by the national Fedora
ton of Construction Industries, to
meet in Chicago April 8. 4. and s.
Out of this conference Is likely to
come q plan for the national unfit
cation of the construction industry.
the second largest industry in the
United States and the one which to
date has been weak in the matter of
close cooperation between group
organizations. The urgency of CO.
operation in the construction indus
try at this time grows out of the
recognised necessity of doing every
thing possible to get building costs
down to the lowest level consistent
with sound business and to keep
them down.
Result OF Survey.
A survey which has been made by
the National Federation shows con-
clusively that there is a vast waste
OF effort and duplication of expense
In organization work. For several
years. leaders in the industry have
been urging such action as would
eliminate this waste in a way that
would give the public the benefit of
the economies. and out of the Chi
cago conference may come a plan of
national cooperation that will
mean millions of dollars to the
building public.
Every element in the construction
Industry will have representation
In the Chicago conference and the
many group problems will be
thoroughly discussed. and where
one group interest clashes with
another group interest, an effort
Will be made to harmonize them
and TO devise a basis of action that
VIII be In the best interest of the
construction industry as a whole.
One OF the unique features of the
Forthcoming conference will be an
exhibit In which various national
organizations will visualize the
work they are doing. 1t has been
said that some organizations have
no excuse for being; that they are
q tax on the building public. In
this exposition 1t will be up to the
various trade associations to show
such evidence as will justify their
existence. This opportunity to
show the public what service is
being rendered and why it is worth
all that II costs. will be improved
by q large number of associations
and organizations In the building
field.
To Discuss Org.nfzafion.
Trade associations, now under in
vestigation nationally and recently
subjected to much criticism from
the public. will be discussed in the
conference and from the discussion
may come declaration of purpose
and principle that will have a ma
t1onal importance.

RETAIL DEALERS OPPOSE
ANTHRACITE PROPOSAL
Associations Committee Says Two
Year Extension of Scale Is
Unfair to Public.

BUFFALO. n. Y. August. 19.-The
executive committee of the National
Retail Coal Merchants Association.
claiming to represent directly and
indirectly $4,000 dealers. went on rec
ord here today as opposed to the re-
ported proposal of the anthracite
miners that the strike be ended by
an agreement extending the present
wage scale for two years.
The retail organization believes,
according TO the resolution adopted
by the committee. that the interest
of the public will not be conserved
if the present wage scale is per-
Initted to remain beyond April l,
1923, or until such time as revised
scale may result from arbitration."
President Homer D. Jones of Chi
cago. made this statement:
This is no time to enter into an
agreement that will keep up the
present high price of anthracite for
two years. Anthracite. like all other
commodities. niNSt come down. De
sirable as an early settlement may
he, it should not be jammed through
by saddling upon the country a con-
tinuation of war prices of anthracite
for two more years"

A REAL HERO.

Several weeks ago the daily press
told of Samuel Woodfield, who had
| Heen accorded the distinction of be-
| ihg called the greatest hero Of the
World War
| Such a distinction is enough to
| make any mortal proud.
But now Mrs. Woddfll, the hero's
wife. comes forward and volunteers
| the information that Sam is hero
at home as we'll as on the battle
field.
Now, there are a lot of us who
happen to know a few things about
the inside OF a home. and we know
it takes a "sure-enough, honest-to-
goodness" fellow to be a hero to his
own kith and kin.
One of the predominant charac-
teristics of the human male is to
cupational precision the moment
he enters the portals of his home.
1t is there that he gives over to be-
ing his real self-and then the test
of him is made.
In business n fellow bumps up
against circumstances more or less
perplexing and annoying. but he
must not lose the hold on his pa
thence. Consequently he stands for
lot OF things in the Office he doesn't
feel called upon to stand for at
home. He comes home mentally
ragged and physically tired and is
apt to say and do things he would
not think Of saying or. doing in the
| presence of business associates or
strangers. s.
So, when Mrs Woodfll tells us
Samuel is hero at home. a man
who isn't afraid of a dish-rag, or a
dustpan, runs few errands. and
makes himself useful instead OF
disagreeabie. she builds a lasting
monument for him and gives him
a medal that can be worn only in his
heart
In nearly every home there is &
little woman who knows how much
of hero the husband is, even II
she doesn't openly tell the world.
Yes, you fellows know what W,
mean.

JAPANESE SLOW TO
LEAVE THEIR HOMES
Effort of Government to Induce
Them to Go to South America
Prove Unavailing.

Toxic, March 6.-Japanese emf
grants have shown n decided disin-
clination to seek their fortunes in
South America in the past two years
despite the "overcrowding' in ia
pan and offers Of bonuses.
The Brazilian government pays
Is pounds to each Japanese emf
grant but nevertheless. Japanese la
bor contractors have found ii inn
possible to fulfill their contracts
with Brazilian coffee planters to
furnish laborers each year.
Last year the number OF Japan-
ese emigrants to Brazil was estimat-
ed at 900. These figures are given
by an official of the commercial bu-
reau to the foreign Office.
The reason assigned for this dis
inclination to transmiErate to South
America is the improved status of
the labor market at home. Officials

one that it Is reelection upon a
state when another refuses to grant
request for extradition. 1t is not
to be considered that the state re-
fusing the request is wilfully shield
ing criminal Therefore there can
be but two conclusions: that the
indicted man is innocent. or it is not
believed he can get justice. Either
of which is reflection on the state
which seeks custody Of the indicted
man
refused to grant the request for ex-
tradition OF n man wanted in Union
county, n. c., on a charge of steal
ing an automobile. Now. lets ana
lyze the possibilities:
Is it not reelection upon Union
county to believe the man is inno-
cent but in jeopardy?
Is it not reelection to believe
the man will not get justice If
guilty.
If the reason for refusing to
grant the request is that it has been
already established that the man
wanted was not in Union county
when the automobile in question
was stolen and never has been in
Union county. would it not be mani
festly to the mans interests to
make that showing in the courts of
Union county and have the jury
promptly acQuit him? Otherwise,
the charge hangs over his head and
IL ever he is seen in North Carolina
he may be arrested and tried.
If this man who is wanted in I'm
ion county on charge of stealing
an automobile has never been in
Union county, which fact the gov
ernor Of Virginia says has been
clearly established. we don't be-
lieve he could be convicted in the
courts Of Union county.
While possibly not applying to
this case in particular, it is patent
that the practice of going into
court to get justice has passed.
Nowadays they go into court to keep
from getting justice.

The total Japanese population in

Each State and Its Completion

Despite the fact that this Is the
motor age. that the automobile has
been universally adopted as the high
way vehicle. and that federal, state
and county agencies have for several
years accelerated road building. actual
touring experience shows that there
has not been developed a single trans.

such a trip possible throughout the
