BUILDING COST
Level Not Much Changed
From 1926

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.-Construction
activity throughout the United
States seems to be going forward this
year at cost level which is not
greatly changed from that of last year
and of 1925.
This is revealed by study of an
index of the cost of building in frame,
brick and reinforced concrete. The
index shows no change whatever over
the last three years in costs Of brick
and concrete. For frame construction
the cost level this year is the same
as in 1926, but is one point higher
than that of 1925.
For all three classes of construc-
ton, the index shows a general decline
from the cost level of 1923 which is
reported to have been the highest since
the World War.
In reading the index figures it must
be emphasized that they can not be
taken too literally. The cost Of indi-
vidual construction jobs may not run
exactly parallel to the percentages of
change shown in the index. This is
because the index figures are calcu-
lated from costs in many widely sepa-
rated sections of the country. The in
dex figures here quoted are valuable
chiefly as showing the general trend
for the country as whole.

GIVE AND BE HAPPY

Leaders and workers in Hamilton's
1927 Community Chest drive are now
in harness, laboring, pulling, hauling,
coaxing, begging and cajoling, in their
efforts to fill the chest. 1t is figured
it will take just 100000 to fill the
chest that the relief and welfare or
ganizations of Hamilton may function
properly during the year to come.
While 100000 has been fixed by the
budget committee as the amount nee
essary for the twelve agencies to
benefit from the chest, this amount
is the minimum with which these
agencies can carry on, and doesn't
mean that each agency can not use
more money than is allotted it. Good
ness knows that relief and welfare
organizations can use every dollar to
be obtained and more. For that rea-
son it is to be hoped that the drive
this year goes way "over the top"
The workers in this cause dedicate
themselves to that service which is
the essence of vitalized religion.
With them let the general public join
in this selfess dedication, to the end
that peace, comfort-some measure of
happiness may enter into afflicted
lives.
The chest takes care of the widowed
and orphaned, of the aged and infrm,
of little children handicapped by cir
cumstances of birth and environment,
of those who walk, bending under
the burden of disease; of the delin-
quent, of those who would labor and
can find it not.
1t is a duty to contribute as one
can. 1t is an opportunity for all to
serve as kindly dispensers of bless
ings.

created by the state, the worker is
not free.
The fact that others may be incon-
venienced by the exercise of this right
does not affect the principle of free
dom.
A nation can not profess freedom
and practice tyranny.
If workers must give their labor
lest others be inconvenienced, where
is the difference between this and
Mussolini's system that outlaws
strikes and sets wages by compulsory
arbitration?
Human rights can not be subjected
to counting room standards. The diff
ference between the serf and the free
man is that the latter can cease en-
ployment. He can refuse to serve.
He does not have to ask others. He
must not be a victim of what the
Montana supreme court has termed
Judicial legerdemain" that acknowl-
edges this right in theory and denies
it in practice.
The human being is not an append
age of the state or of business-at
least not in America.

state there are $4,000 combines" this
year as against 8,274 perfected" har-
vesting machines last year. This will
displace 125,OOO itinerant harvest
hands and make saving of $125, 900
a day during harvesting season.
Does this mean good news to the
farmers? Will they get the benefit
of savings in labor costs? Will they
get just as much for their wheat ?
Will the public get any benefit from
lower cost of -four and bread? Will
the elevator trust absorb the savings
and hold prices up on the public :?
What will become of the displaced
workers?
If you will think little and apply
your knowledge of contemporaneous
affairs, current history, you will be
able to answer these questions with
a fair amount Of accuracy.
Anyway, the application. of machin-
cry is always a sign Of progress, and
intelligent people of all classes recog-
nize it. Adaptations and adjustments
take care of changed conditions and
humanity plods along in an upward
spiral, despite the mutterings of pes
simists.

Whenever some "labor-saving" de-

Revival of Activity and
Strength in Rail Shares
Today,s Feature

New York. Aug. l6.--<F) Resump-
ton Of the upward price movement
in today's stock market was featured
by the revival Of activities and
strength in the railroad sharea.
Pools, faced with the prospect of
easy money rates for some time to
come. we're again active in stocks Of
specialties in which favorable devel-
Opments are believed to be pending,
lifting more than a score of issues to
record high levels.
Investment buying was still Of n
cautious character, although the be-
lief prevailed that last weeks dras-
tic decline had cleaned out most of
the "sore spots" in the market. The
days trade news was rather color
less in character. A drop Of Is cents
in steel scrap prices in the Chicago
district apparently had little effect
on the steel shares. .Vanadium Steel
was among the new high records.
Concurrent strength Of Montgom-
cry Ward and Sears Roebuck, each
Of which established new high rec
ord by selling at TN, revived rum
ors, repeatedly denied in the past, of
a merger Of these two mail order
companies. Public utilities present
ed several points of strength, new
tops being recorded by American
Express, Brooklyn Edison, Engineers
Public Service, Manila Electric and
Radio Corporation.
The strength Of the motors was
believed to have been Influenced, in
part, by the reports that the new
Ford car would not be in production
until early next year, thereby re-
moving fears of competition from
that quarter in the next few months.
Special buying of Chrysler was asso-
ciated with the announcement Of new
models this coming weekend.
Weakness of General Railway Sig
nal was inspired by the announce
ment of an investigation into the al
legged monopoly in the manufacture Of
automatic signal and train control
devices. Eureka Vacuum also was
heavy.
The closing was strong. High
priced shares extended their rise con-
siderably in the last hour, after the
decline in Houston Oil, General Rail-
way Signal and Eureka Vacuum
cleaner had been checked. Pitts

Naval Airmen First
to Achieve Ship-to-
Shore Plane Flight

Washington, Aug. 1G.-tF-The
idea which has made possible aerial
ship-to- shore service, recently DEM
onstrated by Clarence ID. Chamberlin
in his flight from the liper Levi
athan, originated in the navy.
It was conceived nearly score
of years ago and was put into prac
tical operation i'm Puget Sound in
January, 1911, when Lieut.. Eugene
Ely successfully took off with an
airplane from Il runaway built on the
quarter deck Of the old armored
cruiser Pennsylvania.
This idea subsequently was car
ried forward until the airplane car
rier was developed, with superim-
posed flying deck running the full
length of the ship so planes could
both take off and land on it.
Runway Impracticable
A runway on warship was found
to be impracticable, as it smoth-
cred the guns on the deck used.
But the navy was determined. even
16 years ago, to equip it's fighting
ships with planes. and from that
grew the present day revolving
catapult, which the navy has de-
veloped and the secrets of which it
is carefully guarding, since no other
naval power has anything approach
ing it in effectiveness.
The runway on the old Pennsyl-
vania was much longer and broader
than the 11O-by-24 foot runway which
has been built on the Leviathan be-
tween the bridge and first smoke
stack. That runway is set. on bias
so that the plane can point at least
part way into the wind created by
the great speed of the Leviathan.
Incidentally, there has been vast
Improvement in the airplanes used
nowadays over the one Ely piloted
when he made the first flight from
ship.

CLOSEST K
Good Buying Power Develop.
Early But Later Sales
Cause Slow Break

Chicago. Aug. l6.--tF1-Bulges in
wheat were hard to hold today. The
market met with good buying power
early on frost damage reports from
Saskatchewan but when it failed to
respond to this bull news, holders of
wheat lost courage and their selling
game the market slow closing
break. There was some buying on
seaboard exporters but the effect Of
this was all set by hedging sales.
Corn developed much weakness in
the last hour as result Of selling
credited to leading long. Oats re-
acted somewhat but met with enough
support to rteain in part Of its early
gain. Provisions weakened with
corn. Wheat closed weak at net loss
of la to one cent. Corn was off Ii
to lla' cents and oats unchanged to
A@B cent down. Provisions 7k@
30 cents up.
Heavy rains which fell during the
past week in parts of Kansas have
greatly retarded threshing, accord
ing to a weekly report. Grain in
shock was reported badly sprouted
and wheat in header shocks was said
to have been damaged by excessive
moisture. Wheat seeding also suf-
fered tO'cOnsiderable extent except i'm
portions of the western third Of the
state. '.f"f
Further frost reports from Swift
Current, Sask., said the damage there
would be ut least 35 per cent, with
possibility that after the threshing
returns the DANCE would show SO to
20 per cent in territory 60 miles wide,
both east and west. North ana South
of Swift Current, it was said that
about IS per cent of the damage is
wheat that was frozen.
Southern parts of Kansas report a
bumper crop of corn already begin
ming to dent and moisture is suffi-
cient to assure maturity. Early corn
