LABOR CONDITIONS
FAVOR ACTIVITY
Wages Are Becoming Grad
uaIIy Stabilized, Survey
y DiScIOSeS.

Labor conditions in the constmc-
tion industry are favorable to con-
tinuation of building activities on a
large scale, according to results of a
survey announced by the S. w. Straus
Company.
Wages are becoming stabilized,
with general tendencies toward
slightly higher levels in some local
tiles. and there appears little proba-
bility of any retarding developments
in 1929, 1t is pointed out.
Wage adjustments have reached a
hopeful stage, and in the most i'm
portant centers are proceeding with
success" the company asserts. Mel
ther union labor nor the employer
appears to show any disposition to
bring about radical changes in exist
ing wage scales. In some cities en-
ployers have agreed to slight ad-
vances.
The employment situation is also
becoming more nearly stabilized, and
with the beginning of the new year
shows marked Improvement. This Is
of the bonus scales, except in some
of the larger cities and isolated To-
calities, where there is an INSULT
cheney of skilled mechanics to take
care of the work now in hand and in
prospect.
While demand for labor during the
last month has not been acute. heavy
winter construction work is keeping
building labor from its usual seasonal
lay-off. and there is but a negligible
number of men idle because of ina
bIlity to get employment.
This has been great factor in
maintaining the existing wage scales
and during the next few months may
result in instances of higher levels.
This. however. does not mean SO much
as it does the substitution of in
creased wages for the bonus scale.
Rising Scales.
This substitution of rising scales
for the bonuses of the past year. 1t
is believed, will tend to stabilize, but
not increase. labor costs.
The chief shortage in the conStruc-
tion industry is common labor, and
plasterers and bricklayers in the
skilled crafts. The wage scales for
these classes of labor have been rails
ed in a number of cities during the
past sixty days.
In order to help equalize the sup
ply and demand in building labor,
schools for building trade apprentices
are being established everywhere
with apparent success, and with the
labor unions and employers CO.
operating. This will ultimately bring
relief In localities where a shortage
of mechanics is felt. In a number of
cities and states the public school
authorities are lending aid to the
movement. Especially is this true In
Ohio. where the Smith Hughes law
makes possible the introduction Of
building trades courses in the school
curriculum. Massachusetts and other
states also have passed some liberal
laws to encourage schools of ap-
prentices
The New York building congress
mas worked out comprehensive
program for training craftsmen in all
building trades. BY agreement be-
tween unions and the employers at
tendance in some trades is made
compulsory. The New York board of
education has appropriated $4,000
Tor apprenticeship work for the year.
Evening star., 1923-01-27

unions have not indicated that they
will hold out for any wage advance
over the present wage scales carrying
50 and $40 per day rate.
New York builders report an
easing up Of the labor situation, all
classes Of skilled mechanics being
available with the exception of
plasterers. A slight shortage Of COM
mon labor Is also reported. The i'm
proved skilled labor supply situation
has resulted In the elimination of the
bonus scale In number OF trades,
including the bricklayers who have
been in unusual demand during the
past year.
"A feature of the agreements now
being negotiated in New York is a
clause prohibiting strikes and lock-
outs and providing for arbitration
of all disputes between employers
and the union. All restrictions on
production are also lifted.
Wage Scales Adjusted.
Similar to the New York situation.
wage scales are being adjusted In
many other cities throughout the
country. In a few instances some OF
the trades are being granted slight
that a large number of agreements
will be closed by April /, carrying the
1922 warge scales.
Another favorable development in
the situation is renewed evidence OF
the disposition of the carpenters and
the sheet metal workers to get to-
gether, and through the National
Board Of Jurisdictional Awards settle
long standing controversy. which
from time to time has seriously In
terrupted building construction, The
National Board of Jurisdictional
Awards. at the request of employers
and officials of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, has granted rehear-
ing on the question of whether the
carpenters or the sheet metal workers
shall Install metal trim in buildings.
The rehearing will begin In Wasnlne
ton AT the American Federation of
Labor headquarters on Monday
Fehruary 49,"

DC. REAL ESTATE BUREAU
SETS EXAMPLE TONATION
Boards of Other Cities Decide to Estab-
hsh Information Service as Result
of Success in This City.

Lead of the Washington Real Es-
tate Board in maintaining free real
estate service bureau for dispensing
Information to the public and solv-
ing problems which may arise in the
realty field so attracted national at
tAntion at the recently-concluded mid
winter executive meeting of the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards at Jacksonville. Fla, that
other boards throughout the country
may establish similar bureaus.
This was one of the interesting
phases of the Florida meeting related
by returning Tealtor delegates this
tons service plan was given to the
national executive committee by John
A. Petty, executive secretary Of the
local board. in connection with the
presentation by all affiliated boards of
achievement" reports. Secretary
lishment and maintenance of the in
formation and adjustment bureau
was considered SO novel by a ma
5ority of the delegates that he was
called on on two separate occasions to
explain more in detail the operation
and function OF the bureau. Several
boards had undertaken such an enter
prise in a small way, it was stated.
broadly as Washington's.
Gives Aid and Protection.
The local bureau, he pointed out,
not Snly answered questions con
cernfHg real estate in general. but
had won the confidence of the public
by assisting in exposing unscrupu-
1ous dealers and in protecting the
rights ofNthe clients involved.
Many important questions came up
-t< ha or nY1yr a
meeting. Secretary Petty reported.
Further development of the in
formation bureau at the Chicago
headquarters was considered and
additional questionnaires will shortly
be sent to boards throughout the
country for the purpose OF securing
more statistics and data to be classi-
fed and indexed for distribution
among the members.
The national association adopted a
limited plan of reorganization in the
creation of sectional divisions of the
organization known as farm lands
division. industrial division. home
builders and subdividers' division,
mortgage and finance division. prop
erty management division. brokers

William E. Shannon was elected a
member of the executive committee
OF the home builders section and
secretary fetly was eiecteu d HieH :
Der of the executive committee of
the realtor-Secretaries' division.
In a general way these divisions
were formed as separate organiza-
tions, with a uniform basic set of
bylaws varying only in minor de-
tail, but are subject to regulation by
the board of directors of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards.
The primary purpose for organiz-
ing these divisions was to provide a
means Of developing special sessions
at the annual conventions and pos
sibly at the meetings of the national
executive committee to be conducted
along specialized lines for the benefit
of those members interested in spe-
cifc subjects. For instance. the mem

Similar plans for training apprentices

other large centers.
THAT there will be slight upward

dicated by the result of the first
wage award announced. In Cincin-

The Cincinnati scale. however. was

Chicago Prospects Good.
"In Chicago the Landis award ex-

Builders In New York are proceed

next two months. Building trades en-
