WELLESLEY HILLS. Mass, Septem-
Der 23.-Roger w. Babson this week
issues a warning to cities and towns
to get busy on their municipal i'm
provements Immediately. His reasons
are as follows:
"A revolution is to take place in
city development during the next dec
ade. The automobile is to have as
great an effect on living conditions
as the sewing machine had on weav-
ing. AS the mill has taken the place
of the home spinning wheel. so the
suburb Is to take the place of the
city for residential purposes. Tremen-
dous movements from the city to the
suburbs may be expected during the
next few years. Wise cities will be-
gin to Immediately prepare for this
great suburban development. which,
in many cases, will mean the exten-
sion of city limits.
such a revolution in living must
result in the extension of water
plants, expansion of sewerage sys-
TENS, and a tremendous era of new
road building, home building and 9TH
er Improvements. This will cause a
great demand for carpenters, masons,
plasterers, and common labor of all
kinds. The building boom has not yet

of them reporting that they are re-
ceiving not more than Is per cent of
their requirements in cars, while
those most favorably situated are re-
ceiving not more than 40 to 80 per
cent. AS a result of this condltlon
and of embargoes many operations
have closed down or have reduced
their output and many of the manu-
facturers are declining to book orders
except for material that can be
billed to points where there are no
embargoeS. Because of this buyers
are finding extreme difficulty in plac-
ing their requirements for material on
which immediate Shipment is neces-
sary:
The situation Is somewhat better
on the west coast, where 40 to 40 per
cent of the output of mills reporting
to the west coast association is being
shipped by water. a large proportion
of it going through the Panama canal
to north Atlantic coast points. There
is a heavy movement also to Japan,
China, Australia and South America
While there has been some slacken-
ing up of building in the larger cities.
dealers In the smaller towns all re-
port very active movement and
building is going forward at very
satisfactory rate.
Prices Hold Steady.
Demand for lumber from the agri-
cultural sections Is increasing ma
terially, while industrial and railroad
demand also is showing gratifying
activity. Many dealers throughout
the country, who failed to stock their
fall requirements earlier in the sea-
son. now find their yards almost bare
of stock, and will experience extreme
difficulty in securing deliveries OF
material with which to fill up broken
assortments. This necessitates much
trading among the yards. and Is pill
ing up a demand that will have to be
filled later, when mills are able to
make shipments promptly.
"Prices on all woods are holding
firm. with an advancing tendency on
many items. 1t is not likely that ad-
vances such as to bring about a run
away market will be made, but
prices in all likelihood will remain
about on the present. basis, with ad-
vances on items that are in heavy de-
mand and low supply. Conditions
everywhere, except in the Pacific
northwest, are such as to preclude
the possibility of heavy production
during the remainder of this year,
and mills generally will go into the
new year with greatly reduced stocks.
The only section of the country that
now is producing on a normal basis
is the Pacific northwest, but, as there
is no excess log supply available in
that territory. production will ma
terially exceed the present basis"

In the face Of the mounting cost
and scarcity of coal. unsatisfactory

some localities, shortage Of labor.

markably well with the increased de-
mand for material. according to a

A little short of one hundred and
twelve million brick were produced
by ninety-four manufacturers in the
month reported. as against one hun
dred and six million produced the
month before by ninety-fve manu-
facturers.
If present conditions continue much
longer. the brick industry and build
ing generally must be disturbed in
ever-increasing ratio. While coal is
now being mined in many districts,
transportation Is not satisfactory
four out of the ten shutdowns re-
ported being because of the lack of
coal. In addition. five more plants
report that they must close shortly
for this reason.
The surest indication that underly-
ing economic conditions are funda-
mentally sound is shown by the great
volume of building contracts now
being let. in spite of unsettled con-
ditions. and il is hoped that the rail
and coal difficulties will be disposed
of before they adversely affect the
construction industry more seriously
than now.
"The building industry is the key
industry OF the nation" the statement
points out. When homes and other
buildings are under way the basic in
dustries, such as brick, lumber and
cement. are active. together with the
thousand and one specially industries,
such as hardware. electrical supplies,
roofing. plumbing. glass, paint. etc:
When the buildings are finished and
ready for occupation another and much
longer list of industries is set going.
Furniture. linen, clocks, musical in
struments. books. rugs. silVerware
kitchen utensils. stoves, curtains,
chinaware and an innunerable va
riety of other products, are required.
Nothing could be more evident than
that a slowing up of building means
a decreased demand for everything
required to furnish new buildings
while an active building industry
quickens a surprisingly large group

CAR SHORTAGE HITS
BUILDING ACTIVITY
Lumber Shipments Only 1900, 900
Feet a Week Greater Than
in 1921.

Declaring that "the transportation
outlook is ominous," the National
Lumber Manufacturers Association
announced this week that scarcity OF
cars and slowness of forwarding
those which were loaded, had cct
lumber shipments in the week emu
ing September 16 to "only 50 per cent
of the production" Shipments that
week were only 100000 feet great
er than in the corresponding week
of 1921, although production was 49,
100000 feet greater, the<statement de-
clared, and added:
''The transportation congestion
seems to have developed to critical
proportions somewhat more sudden
ly in the south than elsewhere. and
the Southern Pine Association states
that it is making a heroic effort to
secure more cars from the car service
officials. Southern pine shipments de-
clined the past week 3,500.0o0 feet in
the face of a, production increase OF
100000 over the preceding week and
with a larger volume of orders. The
West Coast Lumbermen's Association
was barely able to keep shipments
up to the level of the preceding week
in the face of increased orders and
production.
while the transportation outlook
is ominous, some satisfaction is de-
rived from the fact that production
is gaining on accumulated orders for
the time being, thus making for
stable lumber market. For the first
time this year orders during week
have been less than for the CORE
spending week of 1921, the reported
decrease being almost 2S.0o0.0o0 feet.
On the other hand, production was
73,246.17l feet greater and shipments
2S.464,777. However, the compared
week of 1921 was one of abnormally
large orders for that year, being %

reached its height. Every feature con-
nected with building, from the sup
plying of the raw materials to the
furnishing of the home, should pros
the real reason why certain forms OF
labor are scarce today and why GER
tain building materials and commodi-
ties are Strengthening in price. 1t Is
the real reason why the mine opera
tors of the central states and the mill
owners of the eastern states have
been obliged to take back the workers
at the old wages. 1t is this emigra-
ton from the city to the suburbs
which has changed the labor market
OF course labor leaders claim credit
for checking wage cuts, but it clearly
is not due to them. Henry Ford S
fivvers are causing this demand for
homes in the suburbs, and the conse-
quent demand for mechanics, carpen-
ters. and common labor.

take advantage OF these new condi-
tions. Those city fathers whb do not,

pitious for municipalities to capital

a great municipal marathon race. The
cities which are now behind will have
an opportunity of getting in the front
ranks; while some of the cities now

of those who direct the affairs of
these cities.

condition to soon disappear. Wise are
the cities which plan their improve
ments and make their contracts while
business Is still below normal"
