BUILDING WAGE.
T0CONT|NUE
STABLE
Prosperity Period Boosts
Crafts Plan to Main
tain Fair Rates.

Building labor expects to maintain
present wage scales and working con-
ditions indefinitely and there is no
immediate likelihood of any general
downward revision of wages, according
to survey of the labor situation in
the building industry compiled by the
building construction research bureau
Of G. l.. Miller & Company.
The survey was based largely on
data gathered at the convention of
the building trades department Of the
American Federation of Labor Of At
lantic City. N. j., at which 100000
organized building craftsmen of the
country were represented.
Organized building workers believe
that the present prosperity in the
building industry will continue indef-
initely." the survey states. land have
decided TO employ their full strength
in maintaining present wages which
are the highest ever paid in the history
Of the industry.
STRENGTHEN UNIONS.
"Reports and statements by the
leaders of organized labor in the
building trades convention indicated
that they were unanimously deter
mined TO oppose any attempt to re-
duce wages at this time. To this end
it was decided to strengthen the build
ing unions by renewing efforts to
unionize the entire construction indus
try.
Labor officials indicated that they
would also continue striving for high
er wages, but mainly devote their eff
forts toward getting an upward re-
vision of wage scales in some Of the
smaller cities, where building crafts
men receive somewhat less than the
maximum wages prevailing in the
larger centers such as New York, Chi |
cago, st. Louis and Pittsburgh.
THAT the higher wage movement
was being successfully advanced was
indicated in reports received from
number of cities including Los An
geles, Detroit. Minneapolis, st. Peters
burg, Fla; Wichita, Kan; Madison,
Wis; Grand Rapids, Mich, and Sa-
vannah. Ca, showing that certain
crafts had received increases during
the last month ranging from 8 cents
TO II IL cents per hour. The crafts
granted increases in the majority Of
cases were the 5ricklayers, plasterers,
fathers. plumbers and painters. In
Houston. Tex. some large contractors
were reported to be paying plasterers
and bricklayers 81 per day bonus.

FEW UNEMPLOYED.

Practically all building trades
workers were reported employed at
the present time and only a few cities
have any unemployment. Bonus pay
ments have been practically eliminat-
ed, except in a few isolated localities
where there is some shortage Of skilled
craftsmen, such as bricklayers and
plasterers. The number Of appren-
tees is increasing, and there appears
10 be ample skilled and unskilled la
Dor TO meet the demands Of the indus
try. The plumbers, Iathers, and sew
eral other unions reported increased
memberships. Restrictions on appren-
tees have either been removed or
modified by the majority Of the crafts
in the industry.
Sterilization Of the industry TO
mitigate the evils of labor migration
and seasonal employment was urged
by labor leaders generally. They re-
ported that progress had been made
IN reducing seasonal unemployment,
and building is expected TO proceed
this winter on a wide scale due 10
better planning by contractors and
the introduction Of modern methods.
The unprecedented building program
IN the southern states, particularly
Florida, is expected TO give employ
ment throughout the winter months
10 large numbers of building crafts.

BIC BAN DENIES
ENDORSING
PETITION
His Approval of Golfers Plan
Related Only to Suppress
sion of Gambling

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-President
B. B. Johnson. OF the American
League. issued denial today that
he had Endorsed a petition now
in circulation favoring the Federal
control Of organized baseball, with
the creation Of a Commission of
three honest men, to be appointed
by the President of the United
States"
Following is his official state
ment:
The Government should be Of
aid to us in suppression of gambling
and curbing of gamblers operating
nation wide, but any such details
for rules and regulations by Gov
eminent commission did not orig
mate with me in any way.
Such Federal control OF baseball
as proposed might have it's merits,
but at this time / reserve my
opinion and positively am not in
dorsing or fathe1'ing any definite
plans along that line.
THE newspaper article sent out
Of New York, which connects me
with the suggestion, is based on a
very briet reply I made to a letter
from Mr.. Collier, of Cleveland,
which came in my mail one day,
and suggested to fne that the ma
tional game should be under Gov
eminent control.
There has often been a discus
sion Of what Government action
should be taken to curb the evil of
gambling and lottery pools as they
affect baseball, and my brief an
swer to Golfers letter was in the
abstract sense.
"A movement was fostered some
years ago for State legislation to
elaborate the laws against gambling
so that gambling on baseball could
be curbed mad gamblers prosecuted
in the courts. That had general
Endorsement, and II the Federal
laws are not sufficient then, natur-
ally, baseball should be eager to see
them made sufficient, as was done
by some State legislatures.
