II building and business go up to-
gether; IL new construction means
new prosperity; II added wealth
brings additional welfare to the people
at large, the announcement of Chi
cago's building boom should clear
the heart OF every business man in
the middle West. Nor Is that the
end Of Il. For the movement that Is
going on here Is In progress in other
cities. The construction industry
East and West Is breaking the
bonds laid upon II by the war and
is bursting into a period Of business
activity that is likely to last for five,
ten, or perhaps even twelve years.
Too Hopeful.
That Is the statement of a build
ers' publication in the East. Is It
too hopeful? The facts and figures
say not-that is, unless some un-
forescenable and improbable calam-
ity overtake us all.
Nearly 5000. .000,0 900 worth Of
building is predicted for the West
alone In the next ten years-$l .7OO'-
900 900 for homes, $3.50. 100000 Tor
offices, $3.50, ,000. 900 for shops, stores
and warehouses. $4,000, 900 for fac
tories. 500. 100000 for farmhouses
and barns.
Throughout the country the fig
ures are stupendous, for the con-
struction industry Is a colossal In
dustry-colossal far beyond the
guesses of all who are not engaged in
IL. At present, this industry claims
to account for as much Of America 8
wealth as the farms, or about $751;
900 900 900 in all to provide employ
ment directly and indirectly for al
most 5000. 900 men; and to extend. IN
one way or another, its stimulating
activity into pretty nearly every
field Of business in the United States.
30 Industries to Boom.
A list of fifty great industries
which are bound to boom whenever
building booms, has been laid be-
fore the writer by a Chicago con-
tractor. At the end Of the list, he
wrote land So forth, and 80 forth, :"
adding that these industries and
many more had countless ramifi-
cations in still other industries, that
all were SO bound up with one an
other that they had to go up. to-
gether. Thus does a business re-
yiyal in one field reach into others.
Thus are poor times made to vanish
Thus occupation for capital. EMPLOY
ment for labor, wages, profits,
dividends and trade are brought
back to their former channe.s, in
spite of strikes at home and busi-
ness turmoil abroad.
Thus, also, is new wealth created
actually created as gold is brought
from a mine. This is a point en-
phasized again and again to the
writer by a Chicago gentleman In
the construction industry-H. l..
Matz. Why is this industry such
big producer, why such a giant in
the work Of enriching the nation
and the nations business-for many
reasons, says Mr.. Matz. but chiefly
for this one-that It turns dirt into
wealth. It takes the dirt OF the
field, and the labor Of the working
men, adds capital In the form Of ma
chinery and puts in a good bit OF
business management. That Is the
recipe. And the result?

Trade Commissioner Sorensen, Of the
Department of Commerce. He said:
Sweden is perhaps the most elec-

tent to which Swedish industries
have turned to this comparatively
new source Of power in their efforts
to overcome the disadvantage arising
from the country's lack Of coal and
oil deposits Is not generally appre-
ciated.
Considerable progress was made
before the war In the way of sys-
tematized utilization of the coun-
try's water power, but during the
war this development was arrested
by the general scarcity Of materials
for peace purposes and the high
cost of labor. The postwar period

FARM SHIPPERS
Of VIRGINIA TO
SAVE $4,000
Bureau Federation Wins Point
Over Baltimore Live Stock
Association.

. ROANOKE, Va. Sept. Am
estimated saving Of So. 900 to the
farmers of this State will result from
the successful fight which the Vir'
ginia Farm Bureau Federation. III
conjunction with the Virginia Fed.
Grafton of Cooperative Live Stock
Shipping Associations, waged against
the livestock commission merchants
on the Baltimore market. according
to a statement made by N. B. Rue,
secretary Of the Virginia Farm
Bureau and one Of the representa-
tives of the complainants at the re-
cent hearing. The other representa-
tive of the shippers at the nearing
was X. A. Kiethley, president or the
Live Stock Association. "
The hearing was held In Baltimore
before an investigator OF the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and the defend
ants in the case were the Baltimore
Livestock Exchange and the Ma
tional Livestock Exchange
According to Secretary Rue. evi.
dence was presented TO snow tnat
the service rendered did not increase
cost should be made for the increased
number of shippers per car, and that
the service on the Baltimore market
was no greater than the service rem
dered on fifteen other markets which
made a pro-rating charge Of from 81
to SO per car, the per cent rate on
the Baltimore market being so cents
per person on plurality-owned cars.
When the evidence in the case was
completed the attorneys for the de-
PENDANTS moved that the schedule
set out by the representatives Of the
plaintiff be adopted.
The hearing on the commission
charges was postponed until Sep
tember 10, to allow the defendants
in the case to prepare data to present
before the body.
1t was brought out that the gain
ing of the point of pro-rating Of
charges will be direct saving to the
shippers of this State, especially
those that ship plurally-owned cars.
Under the system of charges now
in effect the additional charge per
person on more than one In the
same car is so cents per head above
the usual commission rates.
The rates agreed upon were 81 Per
car when used by from one 10 five
owners; $3.50 per car when used by
from five to ten owners, and SO per
car when used by ten to twenty
owners.
From the figures 1t was pointed
out that under the rate the extra
charge for five persons would have
been $3.50; for ten persons, IS, and
for twenty persons using the same
car the extra charge would have
been $40.
At the hearing on tho commission
rates on September 10 an effort win
be made by the two farm organiza-
tions to secure a lower commission
charge on the sale of livestock. A
resolution set out at the last meet
ing of the executive committee of the
Farm Bureau was to the effect that
the commission charges on the
Baltimore market were not equitable
or. just as far as the service rendered
was concerned.

The attention Of the financial dis
trict was largely directed to the
events which took place at the Ma
tional Capital. including the compile
ton Of the tariff bin, the passage hy
the Senate Of the bogus bonus bill,
the publication Of the Federal trade
commissions. criticisms Of the pro-
posed steel mergers. the continuation
Of the conferences which are expect
ed to settle the anthracite coal strike.

porary breathing spell allowed to Ger

of far less significance than the July
earnings to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, which proved to be
much more favorable than had been

As in preceding years. attempts
have been made to depress the
market in different groups of
stocks, for reasons real or imagi-
nary, and in practically every in
stance these attacks have been fol-
lowed by a vigorous upward move

principal sufferers from these tao
