The Northern Europeans all knew
trade and represented highly
skilled labor by training In the
mother countries. where il was
mandatory by statute for all per-
sons to be versed in mechanical and
skill lines. As boatloads OF these
various embryo American citizens
arrived in our harbors the docks
were lined with employment agents
seeking their services. No one was
idle. production was high. living
costs were low and labor was
happy.
Unfortunately we have seen the
reversal of this condition in the
last decade. eliminating In the
acute situation in the building in

American industries making no
preparation to perpetuate them
selves; but unfortunately unrecog-

Man power is the important
thing today" states Mr.. Glynn in
discussing modern apprentice ships,
but the man power must be intel
ligent and the industry as a whole
must be conscious in its RESPONSE
bility to the public in absorbing
young men a5 well as creating effi-
cient and self-supporting citizens
who will render production at a
saving wage and produce homes

Commission's Personnel.
What we are really aiming to
do in the New York Building Con-
gress is to have employer. labor
and educator join hands around the
table of common interest and
achievement to the end that the
gulf may be bridged between bet
ter production, better labor and
lower costs through the systematic
creation and conservation of our
vast human resources"

There 10 another member yet to be
appointed by a labor union.
The present condition OF the
building industry is retrogressive," )"
according to Mr.. Fenner Many
manufacturing plants are operating
at so per cent of their capacity be-
cause there Is not enough skilled
labor at present to use materials In
construction that many manufactur-
ers are prepared to produce.
Never in history were the build
ing trades so handicapped as they
are today. 1t is estimated we have
less than 60 per cent of the skilled
mechanics we had before the war,
while the present production OF the
average workman today is mate
rally less than IT was eight years
ago. The shortage has resulted in
New York City. where standard
wages agreed upon by employers
| and unions runs from 50 to $40 per
eight hours. in men being paid in
many lines a bonus of from so to rs
per cent on a straight working day.
Further than this, migration of la
Dor 10 quite common. Localities are
bidding against each other. Ere.
quently some contractors in need OF
mechanics advertise in Boston and
Philadelphia papers. Offering higher
wages than are paid in those cities
Our available labor in a few trades
is used up. The skilled mechanics
we have now average over fifty
years of age.
I'VE are aiming to meet the need
by upgrading helpers in various d.
visions and establishing systematic
apprentice training periods. which
are so organized as to make the
building industry attractive to tho
average boy. This will mean bet
ter mechanics and more mechanics.
