Building Now Plays
Bic Part i'm General
Business Conditions

The building industry is playing
an increasingly larger part as
great influence upon general busi-
ness conditions. according to S. w.
Straus. who says 1T is worth
pointing out at this time that the
influence eXerted by the building
industry on general business Is of
growing Importance According To
competent authorities In the steel
industry. building and construction
during the year 1927 replaced rail-
roading as the largest line OF steel
consumption.
In 1926 building and construc-
ton we're assigned 1872 per cent
OF the total steel output. while the
proportion rose to % per cent for
1927. While the total steel as
signed TO building and construction
was thus rising to new high levels.
the volume assigned to railroading
dropped from 23i2 per cent in 1926
to 10 per cent in 1927 The auto
motive industry dropped from l4i,
per cent TO ID per cent Agrieul-
ture accounted for per cent in
1925 and 5 u per cent in 1927.
Thus 1t is obvious that the build
ing industry now leads all others
IN the influence exerted on aetivi-
ties within the steel industry

n1endationS Made by
Maj. Hesse.

Changes in the Police Trial Board. to
improve discipline in the ranks Of the
Police Department and TO gain for IL
ereaHer public confidence, as recon-
mended several months ago by Mai.
Edwin b HcSSe, superintendent of po-
lice, were iildorsed last night by the
public order committee Of the Board Of
Trade after consideration of more than
two hours.
The action, te&eh by the committee
in adopting in part report from a sub
committee headed by Claude w. owen,
which made a study of the question, will
be laid before the Commissioners with
recommendations that suggestions OF
Mai. HesSe be given q fair trial
The matter was taken up by the
Board Of Trade group last Winter when
Maj. HeSse declared that he had been
dissatisfied in some cases with trial
board decisions.
Agree With Maj. HesSe.
While seeking a more effective means
of trying and Furnishing policemen for
violations, the committee upheld the
Police Department as whole. and
agreed with Mai. HeSse that discipline
ary measures should be left to the de-
partment heads and not 20 disinterested
citizens The committee rejected q
recommendation by the subcommittee
proposing that the board consist of one
police captain. an Assistant Engineer
Commissioner of the District and one
civilian, to be appointed by the Com
miSSioners, and substituted the sugges-
ton of Mai. HeSSe that police in
spector and two captains constitute the
board. with an assistant corporation
counsel acing as prosecutor.
Other recommendations of the owen
subcommittee, adopted by the full COM
mittee, would provide:
That board hearings should be held
at some place other than police pre-
cinct station as at present, preferably
at the District Building.
That civilians with grievances against
policemen should file complaints with
the off1ce of the corporation counsel
of the District, such complaints to be
made under oath; that it should be

counsel should also have the right to
institute Investigations Of the conduct
OF policemen on his own motion and
refer evidence so gathered TO the major
and superintendent of police for prose-
cution before the board.
Right Of Counsel
That complainants should have the
right TO be represented by personal
counsel before the board; that the cor
poration counsel should examine and
crosS~examirle witnesses for both sides
or permit the personal counsel TO so
examine witness in his place.
That when the evidence is such as
to lead the board to believe that the
defendant policeman has violated any
law of the United States or any law
of the District. the chairman of the
board should Immediately notify the
corporation counsel to see that the
defendant Is forthwith prosecuted. un-
less. however. the defendant has been
previously prosecuted for the offenSe
In question.
In submitting the report MIR. Owen
emphasized that the superintendent of
police has no power to punish or dis
miss q police officer for infraction of
the rules. but has power only to sus-
pend the accused officer pending trial
Such a situation, he said, seems ''ab-
surd"
Supporting Mai Hesse in his feeling
that the findings of the board in some
cases had not been satisfactory. the
subcommittee declared that frequent
ly the penalty assessed by the trial
board has not been consistent with
or commensurate to the offense COM
nitted."
