the building shortage which accumu-
lated during the war has been met and
there is not the pressing demand for
new construction of former years;
second--the building public believes
that wage rates in the building trades
are already too high and any attempt
to boost them still further would be
met with a disposition to postpone
work which will go ahead IL present
construction costs are prevented from
increasing"
Mr.. Dickson said that there was
comparative peace throughout the
building industry and generally
speaking the labor outlook this Spring
Is much better than year ago"
He said that the recent collapse or
the structural iron workers. steam
filters and cement finishers' strike in
Pittsburgh, and the adoption OF the
American plan in San Francisco is
indicative of the changing attitude
of labor on the question of wage in
creases."
up until this year when wage in
creases were refused by employers.
he explained labor struck and in
most instances the demands were met
in whole or in part. But 1927 has
witnessed an entirely different situa-
ton and labor has adopted more
conciliatory attitude than was the
case in the past.
ut is true that a number of de-
mands have been made in certain
trades whose agreements expired or
will expire in the next 30 or 60 days,
but the demands were not accompan-
led with the same spirit of take 1t or
leave it as before"
