ing the average dwelling house while
materials represent 38 per cent, ac-
cording to study of construction
made by the United States depart
ment of labor.
The labor departments apportion-
ment differs slightly from new set
of data worked out by contractors and
which are now being studied by Wash
ington officials. These data apportion
to labor cost of 60 per cent and to
materials 40 per cent.
According to the new set of data,
the foundation and masonry work rep
resent 36 per cent of the total cost
of the completed job. The foundation
is the largest single item of construc-
ton expense. The second largest item
of cost is 20 per cent and covers car
.pentry, both labor and materials.
Plumbing fixtures plus their install
lation cost are reported as 10 per cent
of the entire cost. The heating plant
is rated as per cent of the total cost
while hardware is apportioned as
per cent, and painting, including ma
terials, as 6 per cent. Lighting fix
lures and installation thereof repre-
sent about 2 per cent of the total cost
Of the completed job, according to the
new report.

STRENUOUS LIFE
DANGEROUS

New York.-The strenuous life
with it's hurry and worry is fatal to
long life, declared DIR. Thomas OAR
lington, former health commissioner
of this city, at a meeting of business
men.
"In the early years of our national
life," he said, physical labor was es-
sential to the building of the country,
and with it went wholesome condi-
tions. The present unrestricted strug-
gle to be first in worldly success
brings physical ills that more than
counterbalance economic gains. The
rise of heart disease in recent years
has probably been due to increasing
habits of hurry.
The body, through the nervous sys-
tenn, is controlled by the secretions of
certain ductless glands, and as an en-
gine responds to the governor, so the
wonderful human machine responds to
these secretions as actuated by the
brain and emotions. 1t has been
shown that with emotional excitement,
such as fear or horror, the secretions
of certain ductless glands are thrown
out"

One HUNDRED YEARS
OLD
First Canadian Union Form
ed By Printers in 1927

Ottawa, Ont.-This year marks the
one hundredth anniversary of the for
nation of the first labor union in
British North America, according to
the Labor Gazette, issued by the Ca
madam department of labor.
Departmental records show the
first Canadian trade union to have
been organized in the city of Quebec
in 1927, being composed of printers, .
the Gazette states. "This pioneer
union was followed in 1882 by the or
ganization of another body of printers
which was formed in York (now To-
ronto) under the name of the York
Typographical Society. Although both
of these organizations lapsed for a
number of years, they have had the
longest continuous existence as trade
unions in Canada, both eventually be-
coming identified with the Interna-
tional Typographical Union, under
charter from which they are now op-
erating."

POOR HOUSE
Charges In Illinois Exceed
Pension Cost

Springfield, Ill.-The average cost
of maintaining poor houses in this
state is in excess of an old pension
cost, said Victor A. Olander, secre-
tary- treasurer of the Illinois State
Federation of Labor, in urging a
| legislative committee to favor the
Soderstrom old age pension bill.
The pension would be $3.50 a year
for persons 70 years old who are with
out other means of support and who
have lived within the state for &c
years. Temporary absence in the
course of employment would not in
terrupt the period of residence.

ditions are admittedly Unsatisfactory
is SAL annually. These figures are
from official reports and are $181

YELLOW DOG"
Contract Is Vetoed BY
States Attorney

Columbus, Ohio. - Pending state
legislation that is designed to out
law the "yellow dog" is upheld by
Edward C. Turner, attorney general
of this state, answering a request by
the chairman of the rules committee
of the Ohio senate on the constitutions
ality of the measure.
Gas l read it," said Mr. Turner
"the bill is designed to preserve in
this state, on behalf Of both labor and
employers, the right of collective
bargaining. In my opinion this OBJ
ject is within the police power of the
state, and, therefore, is proper sub
ject of legislative action.
while the right of contract is a
part of the individual freedom pro-
tected by the Fourteenth amendment
to the federal constitution, nothing is
better settled by the repeated deci-
sions of the supreme court of the
United States than that the right of
contract is not absolute and unyield-
ing, but is subject to limits and re-
straints in the interests of public
health, safety and welfare, and such
limitation may be declared in the leg
islation of the state.
"The welfare of the working man
is part of the public welfare of the
state. The welfare of the employers
is part of the welfare of the state.
A measure calculated to insure indus
trial tranquility between employers
and labor would come within public
welfare
collective bargaining means con-
tract between labor on one side and
the employers on the other side.
While no man can be compelled to
work for another against his will, nor
can an employer be compelled to re-
tain an undesirable employe, yet col
lective bargaining will almost newt
ably lead to term contracts and con-
fer rights upon both sides which may
be protected by the courts"

BUILDING TRADES
Workers Wages Trend To
Higher Level

BY International Labor News Service.
New York City.-Building trades
workers wages are tending slightly
toward higher levels, according to the
monthly review of the national build
| ing situation issued by the building
economic research bureau of the
American Bond and Mortgage Com
pany.
"While reports from many cities
indicate that there will be little likel-
hood of any radical widespread revi-
sion of existing scales this spring.
the review stated, "it appears at this
time, however, that wage increases
will be granted in a number of local
tiles.
"Ten cities have reported higher
wages in one or more trades since
January l. These include Chicago,
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis,
Salt Lake City, Utah, Oklahoma City,
Dayton and Seattle. Practically all
crafts here increased in San Francisco,
Demands for increases from 5 to 1914
cents per hour are now pending in
more than a dozen cities, including
Cleveland, Boston and Cincinnati.
Taking the situation as whole, it
would seem that builders and others
who had held up contemplated pro-
jects awaiting lower costs are again
doomed to disappointment in 1927, and
would do well to get their operations
under way at once

F. Lowrie, secretary, with headquar-
tiers at 166 West Washington street,
this city, sold 80 carloads of union
mined coal to co-operators last year.
One-half of this coal went to men,

This coal came mainly from a mine

The exchange also sold 25 carloads
of hay and three carloads Of potatoes
for a group Of Finnish co-operators
residing in nothern Michigan, who, in
turn, bought Illinois coal and apples
from cooperative farmers near Wen
atchee, Wash.
The Farmer-Labor Exchange is
putting out bargain in Idaho honey
at present. This honey comes in cases
containing IL five-pound pals each
and is sold at SO case. This alfalfa
honey, which comes from the organ
lied farmers of the state of Idaho,
is excellent in quality and was sold on
the floors of Chicago labor unions at

considered very big bargain at the
price.

farmer, recognizing the feeding
value of dockage, are taking a
greater interest in cleaning their
grain on the farm or in having it

before shipping it to market.
