Out of this conference. it is expect
ed will come a plan for the ma
tional unification 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 corporation between
group organizations. The urgency OF
co-operation in the construction in
dustry at this time grows out of the
recognized necessity of doing every
thing possible to get building costs
down to the lowest level consistent
with sound business and to keep
them down.
shows Great Waste.
A survey which has been made by
the National Federation shows con-
clusively that there is vast waste
of effort and duplication of expense
in organization work. For several
wears leaders in the industry have
beeu urging such action as would
eliminate this waste in way that
would give the public the benefit OF
the economies, and out of the Chlcago
conference may come plan OF ma
tionaI corporation that will mean
millions of dollars to the building

after that. when the colonies be-
gan to grow in power. there were
built the larger and more magnificent
houses. which still show great refine
