Department of Labor yesterday de-
veloped the fact that the average
cost OF construction Of One.family
dwellings in Washington is $4,000.
greater than the average cost in
st. Louis Mo-, where the cost is
$3,619 while in this city II amounts
to $8,534.
Fundamental differences Iii the
kind Of dwelling and in the degree
of thorOughness with which the
building permits are recorded IN
various cities contribute the basis
for the difference in cost Of home
construction In the Capital, as COM
pared with other cities. according
to the Department OF Labor and
Washington realty orgaT aT1izations.
High building costs in Washing
ton may be explained in several
ways according to these officials.
while one local builder contends
that the statement Of the Labor
Department is meaningless when
taken apart from other factors
which should be considered, and
which were not taken into consid
Grafton In the survey.
The method employed in reaching
its conclusion was In using by of
ficials OF the Dcpartent Of Labor
the local statistics, in various
cities, indicating the total amount
OF building costs as reflected IN

While in Washington today. Victor

his observations during recent trip

II found general acceptance OF the
fact that Secretary Hoover and Gov,

their respective parties and the only
ones With Nationwide support" said
he. "On the Republican side 1t is
Hoover against the field. It is particu-
iarly noticeable that Hoover sentiment
Is much in evidence In States supposed.

that this sentiment is especially pro-

COMMUNISTS HIT
Reich REACTION
Appeal Issued Against
Socialist Betrayer
BERLIN, Dec. THE "Welt An

BERLIN, Dec 1.-THE "Welt Am
Z (WireleSs to the Daily Worker
Abend" reports that the Ruhr in
dustrialists have demanded of
Severing, social-democratic Minister
of the Interior, that he ask the gov
eminent to grant subsidies to the
Ruhr industries. The initial sum
they demand is 6O,0OO,OOO marks.
Severing has already informed the
Minister of Finance of these de-
mands.
The Communist Party of Germany
has issued an appeal calling upon
the workers to form a revolutionary
united front on this question. II
states that the social-democratiC
government is trying to establish ar
economic dictatorship through fas-
cist methods it is using against the
workers, and that the locked-out
workers were defeated only by the
joint forces of the employers, their
government, and the. trade union
bureaucrats.
The Communist appeal calls the
masses of the workers to a fight
against the coalition government
and against the arbitration system.
1t urges mass membership of the
trade unions, all-around wage in
creases, an eight-hour day, and a
militant struggle against the re-
formists.

A Higher Education"
Is Also Higher Priced

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE
price of college education has
doubled since 1900, admits the U. S.
Bureau of Education, publishing the
results of a survey of 1000 colleges
and universities. A four-year course
costs S2,324, absolute minimum.
If the proletar.an determined to
rise in the world wants to take any
of the technical courses during these
four years, the only sort that he
can later cash in, he must pay more,
sometimes good deal more. Pro-
fessional careers are for the younger
sons of the bourgeoisie, and fence
marked with dollar signs warns off
all upstairs from the Clover classes"

that no details concerning the clash
