stimulate employment, to elimi-
nate waste and to reduce costs.
The committee decided that idle
time, amounting on an average to
about % per cent among all the
building workers of the county,
represents waste and direct losses
to the construction industries, the
workers and the public, and that
such losses as are due to seasonal
ups and downs in the construction
industries are undoubtedly pre-
ventable.
In support of its thesis that
custom not climate is mainly re-
sponsible for these fluctuations,
the committee points, out that sea-
sonal unemployment in construc-
ton is not confined to the states
where the climate is severe. but
affects cities in the South and on
the Pacific Coast in much the same
way that it affects those on the
Canadian border.

The old belief that winter is a
+. bad time to build seems to be
giving way in the face Of newer
coDstfuction methods. One large
construction company in New York
City, carrying on year round op-
serations, has figured out that in
item years it has lost an average
OF only fourteen days each Win
ter because of weather conditions.
| Weather conditions vary from
year to year, but in a ten-year
period the average number of
days in which the temperature
fell below freezing any time dur
ling the working hours in New
York was only So per year. The
!cold winter Of 1919-1920 had 50
such days, but the following winter
there were only 80.
! The above figures are given in a
report issued by the Committee on
Seasonal Operation in the Con-
istruction Industries, appointed by
Secretary Hoover of the Depart
fment Of Commerce as a result of

employment, formed in 1921 to
