HOME BUILDING GAIN VIEWED AS PRESACINC
 MUCH BETTER TIMES

NEW YORK. Jan. 2.-Continuous improvement in the volume of resi- dential contraction offers substan- tial warrant for hope that the na- ton is on it's way out of depression and working toward normalcy.
 Such is the opinion of Clarence Woolley, chairman of the board of the American Radiator and Stand ard Sanitary Corporation.
 "The construction industry says M. Woolley, "is the largest in the country. Its normal volume is eight billion dollars year and, directly or indirectly, it employs four mill lion workmen. For g months the volume of residential construction continuously declined. Under nor- nal conditions, it has in the past exceeded the value of nonresident tial construction.
 Home Building Gains
 Its importance to general busi- ness cannot be estimated. The housing of 100000 families yearly is of far greater importance than construction of less than 50,000 buildings for a greater variety of other purposes.
 Tt is significant. therefore, that the decline of residential construc.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-01-02

ton is rapidly becoming less and less. Month after month the volume of residential contracts awarded was running between 40 and 50 per cent behind the corresponding month of 1929
 Up to August this decline was not less than 43 per cent in any month. Tn September and October, in terms of square feet of floor space. it was 23 per cent and in November only 12 percent lower.
 Construction Costs Drop
 Tn addition to the increased vol ume of residential building a re- markable reduction in cost per square foot is shown. The cost in November was lower than in any ronth since April, 1923. Such re- duction is approximately 20 per cent.
 Mortgage money is now avail able at reasonable rates in all parts of the country which. in cor,- bination with lower cost of con- struction, should impel steadily in- c,easing activity. as it has in form CT like periods"
 Improvement in the building ln- dustry. says MT. Woolley, has in the past been forerunner of inn provement in general business.

MUSSOLIN| ON. AIR.; TALKS TO
 U. s. LISTENERS
Explains Training of Fascist Youths-Cives Praise
 to Americans

NEW YORK eCIII, N. r., Jan. 2. Italian Premier Mussolini, speak ing for the first time to American radio listeners, over an Internation- al hook-up, declared Italy never initiated war.
 In the short, vigorous address, which came through excellently the Premier was emphatic in say ing that neither he nor the Italian people knew the horrors or war. He said the training of the Fascist youth was merely to make them strong, self-reliant and disciplined.
 Premier Mussolini gave the Unit ed States credit for winning the World War. He said without CO., operation of the United States, the world cannot recover from the postwar crisis.
 The Premier said his nation is behind Fascism and he expressed for peace in the world that would mean new era of pros perity.

NIGHT CLUB IS ROBBERY SCENE; REGULAR BEDLAM
Seven Men Attempt to Se- cure Big Loot-Pistol
 Battle Follows

CHICAGO, H., Jan. 2.-Bandits' guns blazed against the law in two robberies yesterday and one police man is dead and six other persons are wounded.
 One of the battles turned a night club into bedlam and the other brought death to Patrolman John Vondruska assigned to guard a Yellow Taxi office.
 Seven men attempted to steal between $6,000 and S8,000 from 9 night club but escaped without the money. The cabaret is located in a district once ruled by Bugs Moran's gang.
 Sam Battaglia, recently acquitted of stealing jewelry from the wife of Mayor Thompson, one of the men in the robbery, was wounded and captured. Detective Martin Joyce and Patrolman John Maier were seriously wounded. George Rusk, another robber, was shot after being floored by diving tackle by one of the guests, who was shot in the abdomen. One of the robbers was wounded, as blood was found, but he escaped.

GOVERNMENT OF. PANAMA TURNED OVER IN REVOLT

PANAMA CITY, Jan. "A revolt, breaking without warming, over threw the Government of President Arosemena,. and the Capital of the Republic has passed into the hands of the Revolutionary Junta headed by Harmodis Arias.
 The rebellion was sponsored by the "Accion Communal" a patriotic organization that violently criti- cized what it called corruption of government under both President, Chiata and Arosemena. A group of about 100 men stormed the head quarters of the National Police. The Police also serve as Panama's only national army. After firing a few shots the group captured the Police Station
 The Presidential Palace was next attacked and captured. The Presi- dent is today confined in his quar- ters in the Palace, apparently un- der arrest.

THOUSANDSARE IDLE IN SOUTH
 WALES DISTRICT
Dispute of Hours and Wages Result in Walk
 out and Lockout

CARDIFF, Wales, Jan 2.-Only few wheels turned in the Soutt Wales colleries yesterday following combined strike and lockout be- tween owners and workers. Of 150,0O0 men employed in the fields most of them were idle, except here and there where small groups worked under local agreements Some of the workers had already been idle and this brings the total to near 230,0O0.
 The trouble resulted from a dis pute over the hours of wages. The miners held out for a seven and a half hour day in contrast to an eight hour day The employers were willing to grant this if the men would take one-sixteenth day pay cut.
 The men and the employers could not agree and the miners were or- dered to strike at midnight De- cember 31
 The Government hopes to reach a settlement at meeting with the South Wales Cancellation Board tomorrow where the claims of both sides will be weighed.
 Unless a compromise is reached, a bitter hard winter is in sight for the entire field.
