the cost Of steel and thus raise prices
in these countries.
"Just what effect the combines &C.
tivity will have on prices in our coun'
try and in foreign markets cannot be
foreseen. The individual members or
the combine have heretofore made eff
forts to extend their sales along our
Atlantic seaboard. This activity may
be intensified, and lower prices might
conceivably result. However, the COM
bines prices will tend to rise above the
competitive prices previously main
tained by it's members. Moreover,
distress selling of European steel with
attendant price cutting will probably
be eliminated. In addition there is
an 'anti-dumping law in effect here to
prevent the combine from selling
cheaper in this country than they do
at home.
The effect on labor in Western Eu-
rope should be beneficial in that pro-
duction will be better stabilized and
unemployment minimized. Scattered
strikes will be less probable because
of more continuous employment. With
the elimination of destructive price
cutting wages will be less subject to
cuts and might possibly be increased.
The general level Of wages, however,
will probably continue much lower
than in England and the United States.
Common labor at Pittsburgh draws
from ~ cents to so cents an hour.
German steel workers draw only 16
cents TO II cents an hour, and because
Of deprecated currencies French and
Belgian labor work for even less.
English labor makes from 25 cents to
80 cents an hour. There Is thus con-
siderable room for competition be-
tween the combine and the American
steel industry. However. for num-
ber of reasons, such as better work
ing conditions. the widespread use of
labor-saving devices and mass produc-
ton, American labor has always been
enough more productive to hold its
own, and there seems no immediate
threat to labor in this country.
Nevertheless, in the long run, greater
production per man may be necessary
to forestall wage cuts.
Effect on Foreign Trade.

BY ROBERT j. COTTRELL.

There has been much discussion of
late about Washington as residen-
i<tial city and regarding residential
construction here. but the tremendous
DEVELOPMENT Of Washington is hardly
realized until the records of its build
ing activities are analyzed and 1t is
found that housing accommodations
for almost 10000 persons have been
erected in the National Capital In the
past three years.
While q tour Of the District would
| find many new structures. 1t Is almost
staggering to find that within the
past three years enough new houses
and apartments have been erected to
house the entire population of any one
of the cities Of Duluth, Mimi; Utica,
N. Y; Oklahoma City or Jacksonville,
Fla.
This refers to construction strictly
within the District of Columbia for
residential purposes only. The vast
activities in Maryland suburbs and
the newly apparent boom In close-by
Virginia property are not included.
Record i'm Apartments.
The year 1925 was outstanding for
| the erection of single-family dwell
ings, while this year is making rec
ords in new apartment house con-
struction. r7he year 1929 considered
a splendid building year in the Dis
trict,. fades into insignif1cance with
| the huge totals piled up in 1925 and
still greater totals of this year.
Confining figures strictly to housing
accommodations, operative builders
have spent approximately $1O9. 800, 600
for new residential construction from
January /, 1924, to date. This is ap-
| proximately a per capital expenditure
| Of 1910 on the part OF the residents Of
| the District Of Columbia for new hous-
ing.
The present year is more than ST.
000, 900 ahead of the record made last
year in construction of all types and
| Is about per cent ahead in the
| value of residential construction.
! While the erection of single-family
dwellings in the District of Columbia
| has fallen off 26 per cent so far this
| year in comparison with last year.
apartment house construction has
| jumped about 80 per cent. This great
| increase in apartment house construc-
| ton has been materially helped by
| the cooperative apartment vogue
which has reached the National
| Capital.
| An analysis of residential construc-
ton for the past three years will
show that single-family dwellings
| Irregular houses) reached total of
$500 in 1924: in 1925 they jumped to

the Orient. The kind Of iron and
steel marketed, however. will have
bearing on how trade will vary. Ex-
ports of the United States companies
are largely finished and semi-f1nished
steel products, while the combines
chief competitive goods have been iron
and steel and products Of lower grade.
Our steelmakers are probably in po-
sition to maintain competition, but
conditions in the future may not be
quite so satisfactory should the com
bine use it's resources. to intensity
competition along new lines.
On the whole, therefore, one can
reasonably conclude that the forma.
ton of this combine and the results
that it seeks to achieve are favorable
to world peace and commercial rela-
tions. Certainly the effect in conti-
mental Europe can only be beneficial,

will still be necessary to keep West
phalia coke and Lorraine ore together.
The immediate effect on steel prices
will be a stabilizing tendency in
Europe. World prices will, of course.
also be affected by English and
American competition. Each country
is to deposit 81 In a common fund for
each ton of steel manufactured with
in its allotted percentage. For each
ton produced over and above its per-
centage the producing country must
pay 81 into the fund. Two dollars per
ton will be refunded to any company
failing in any one year to produce it's
allotted percentage of a minimum
total of 26.000.000 tons. Hence this
arrangement will tend to maintain
common price. The cost of carrying
it on will, presumably. be added to

apartment units; in 1925. 3,3sS units.
and in the first nine months of this
year. 3.742 units. giving a total of
$3.50 apartment units. In all. this
makes a total of 20.543 new housing
units built here since 1924. At the
average of four-and-a half persons to
family this gives housing accommo-
dations for fair sized city.
The value of the entire group is
about $t09, 100000. In 1924. 4,SOO
housing units were erected at a cost
of $2S,000. 900; in 1925. 8,10S housing
units were built at a value of $44,-
860, 900. and for the first nine months
of this year 6.5S5 units have been con-
structed at a cost of 36,610, 900 by
operative builders.
Apart from the tremendous residen-
tial construction. offices. stores, office
buildings, hotels and various other
projects have added to the growth Of
the city and this year more and larger
projects will establish record here
by December 81. The Federal build
ing program and great suburban activ-
tiles in construction will soon turn the
National Capital into a vertiable bee
hive of building activity.

Washington will be invited to partici-
pate in the affair. The exposition will
be run by members of the chamber,
who will be divided into active COM
mittees taking charge of the arrange
ments for various phases of the show.
The object of this exposition is to
show Washington industries as they
are and to bring about in the National
Capital and outside the realization
that there are 700 Industrial plants
here, which have contributed greatly
to the growth of the city, and that
the future development of a greater
Washington lies in a large part with
the development OF industries and
concerns here which will conform
with the ideal of the "most beautiful
capital in the world"
Industries Help City.
Few people realize TO what extent
Washington Is commercially active,
and the greater support of these in
duStrieS and the encouragement of
similar plants will not mar the beauty
of the city, but will serve to make it
bigger.
OF course, we do not want smoky
factories or ugly buildings, but there
are many orga nizations that have
been lost to Washington whose ac-
tivities are In every way desirable,
even to the National Capital. The
exposition is to show that more than
500, ,000.000 annually is paid out in
salaries to Wage-earnerS employed by
Industrial plants here, which produced
more than $85, 900, 900 in marketable
products here last year.
A. l.. Stern will manage the exposi-
ton under the direction of the cham
Der, and the Washington Chamber of
Commerce will participate more ac
lively than heretofore. 1t is the plan
of the chamber not only to advise and
conduct this exposition but to invite
the representative industries of
Washington to have an active hand
in formulating plans. The exposition
is in the interest of a bigger and
more influential Washington.
Commerce Located Here.
The commerce already located here
is great. A history of these activi-
ties is surprising.
