REPORT NEGRO
LABOR LOSING
IN EMPLOYMENT

NEW YORK.-Wages have drop
ped decidedly and Negro labor is
finding itself in dire condition in
both northern and southern cities,
according to a recent survey of I'M
employment conditions made by the
National Urban League.
In a few cities where the condi-
tions are little better than in others,
whites are moving into the cities
from rural districts, where they are
making bids for the jobs which al
ways, more or less, have been held
by Negroes.
Especially is this true in the resort
regions of the country, where much
effort is being made to supplant Ne
gro workers with white help. The
survey shows that in at least three
cities on the Pacific Coast white girls
now are waiting in hotels in the
place of Negro men.
In Richmond. Va. where construc-
ton workers always have been well
paid, the wage scale has dropped to
less than 25 cents an hour. Negroes
also were thrown out of work at
Richmond, when a number of de-
partment stores discontinued their
delivery service and entered into con-
tracts with express companies to
handle their packages.
Like conditions are cited as being
existent in Grand Rapids, where Ne
groes have been forced to accept
wage cuts of from 10 to 20 per cent
on penalty of being dismissed en-
tirely. In Spartanburg, S. c., wages
have been reduced to point of near
absurdity and Negroes are finding it
difficult to exist on the meager sums.
In the New York area wages for
domestics and common laborers have
shown similar curtailment. Women
who recently were employed in an
important business establishment are
known to be working for less than
received by whites who formerly
held the jobs and doing twice the
work usually ASSIGNED to one en-
ployee. Like conditions exist at Den
yer. Detroit. Atlanta and Akron, ac-
cording to the survey.

APARTMENT HOUSE
FOR AVENUE SITE
12-Story Structure Will Be
Erected at 22d Street
by Baer & SChoIz.

Old brick structures which have stood
on the southeast corner OF TWenty-Sec-
ond street and Pennsylvania avenue for
a half century will be RACED shortly to
make way for the construction OF a
modern history apartment, building by
Baer & Scholz, builders, who recently
purchased the site, it was announced
today.
The new building, which will tower
above structures in the immediate
neighborhood, will afford view of the
city and suburban Virginia from its
upper floors 1t will be within one square
OF Washington Circle.
AS planned by Robert o. Scholz,
architect, of the firm of Baer e. Scholz,
the building will have frontage OF 100
feet on the avenue and 1873 feet on
Twenty-second street. 1t will contain
1872 apartment units ranging in size
from one room, bath and porch to two
rooms, dining alcove, kitchenette and
bath All apartments will be fitted for
housekeeping and all main rooms will
have outside exposures.
All the smaller apartment units will
be fitted with movable beds which can
be stored, when not in use. in a large
closet, or dressing room, connected with
the bath.
The living rooms will be painted and
frescoed. Aside from the usual treat
ment of windows, there will be provision
made for Grapes by providing ornamen-
tai cornices to which the Grapes can be
hung
The trim throughout the building will
be of a special grade of gum, and metal
door trim will be employed wherever
possible. All the public halls will be
architecturally treated with cornices, or
namental columns and arches. The
main lobby will be deliberately deco
rated and will be finished in marble and
ornamental glazed tile. The building
will be served by two high-speed eleva-
tors.
In the first story, in addition to the
lobby, will be quarters for two mercan-
tile establishments, one at the corner
of the building and the other on the
east portion of the Avenue frontage.
The property recently was acquired
by Baer & Scholz through the agency
of the j. A. McKeever Co.

PERIOD WORTH WHILE
FOR CONSTRUCTION
Dodge Statistician Says Readjust.
ments Mean Better Products
and Communities.

Better products, better communities
better merchandising to be attained
through greater technical competence
and closer coordination are among the
worthwhile raEultS to be expected from
the present period of readjustment
under which the construction industry
is laboring, according to L. Seth Schnit-
man, chief statistician of F. w. Dodge
Corporation.
Doubtless one good will flow from
the curtailment which economic condi-
tons dictated" Mr.. Schnitman says
Construction economies will be effected
a more economic utilization of mate
rails will be dictated, demands for
space, whether 1t be housing, commercial
industrial, or what not, will be more
fundamentally appraised.
In short, the conditions which
brought about the over-eXpanSion which
is now so clearly apparent will likely
produce closer understanding of the
economics of construction, out of which
alone can come sound basis for revival
when demands assert themselves.
THE tfree-year period 1929-1931 will
go down in construction annals as the
period of readjustment. In fact, ii
seems unlikely that the flve-year period
which will end with 1884 will show a
volume of new construction as high as
that recorded during the preceding hall
decade ended 1929"

ARCHITECTS PLANNING
NEW BUSINESS CHAIN
Propose Building Congresses to Link
Their Profession With Groups
in Aid of Unemployed.

Organization of building congresses,
linking architects, builders, bankers
and workers, will be a major aim of
the Committee on Industrial Relations
of the American Institute of Architects
during 1881, according to the annual
report of the committee, of which Will
liam Orr Ludlow of New York, fellow
Of the institute, is chairman.
Establishment of credit associations
for the guidance of the building in
duStry in distinguishing between finan-
cially responsible and irresponsible firms
is also projected Holding that "labor's
part in building has never been properly
recognized" the committee will continue
its efforts to secure recognition of SUI
perior craftsmanship through building
congresses and chapters of the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects.
The committee also seeks united ac-
ton to relieve unemployment and to
inform the public of the advantage of
building now, while costs are from is
to 20 per cent below normal.
