BUILDING RISES

During October.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17-Addi-
tons, alterations and repairs to all
kinds of property showed gain Of
AZ per cent in dollar volume in Oc-
tober over the comparative month
last year, the federal housing ad-
miniStration disclosed today. Fig
ureS are based on building permits
issued in 1913 leading cities of the
country and reported to the bureau
of labor statistics.
In these cities the total of per-
mits for all types of modernization
work issued in October amounted to
$1O,522 $50, compared with ST, 49,
ITO last October. The gain in new
construction over the same period
and in the same cities was 13 per
cent.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the report was the volume
of installations, which also are
financed by modernization loans, in
cities which report this activity
Cincinnati, O., for example, report
ed only $116,020 in alterations and
repairs, and $2O1, O1O in installations.
Columbus, o., showed $24,400 in al
terations and repairs and $4,000 in
installations. In Stamford Conn,
alterations and repairs amounted to
$18,105 while installations we're
made at the rate of S18,205.
Some of last months most strik-
ing gains in additions, alterations

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Fruit

loads per week day, the department
of agriculture declared today in
its weekly resume of midwest pro-
duce markets.
The decrease of about 6 per cent
compared with a year ago, it is
stated, is mainly in grapes, apples
and potatoes, more than offsetting
current activity in cabbage, celery,
lettuce and citrus fruits.
The price trend" the report
said. lis rather firm, including
further small gains on potatoes and
onions, a slightly better tone in the
cabbage market, continued high

ern peas and irregular scattering

cry holds the recent price upSwing.
Sweet potatoes, carrots and lettuce
show little change in market value.
Trade is reported fairly active
in midweStern markets. Supplies of
homegrown produce have decreased
sharply in Ohio markets. Motor
truck receipts of apples and lettuce
at Kansas City upset the local mar
ket for these lines.
~ rather firm tone prevailed
in the potato market in mid-No-
vember. Small price gains were
reported from northern Maine and

NEW YORK. Nov. 17.-Stating it
is up to the electrical industry to
take advantage of the changed out
look in Washington whereby the
President has invited business to
step forward, inspired by the profit
movie, and do the work required to
bring full recovery, Electrical World
in it's leading editorial or its mid
November issue, calls for two
year home Identification program to
be carried on under national leader
ship throughout the country.
Citing Henry Ford's commitment
to "a recovery business venture OF
major magnitude" the editorial de-
clares: The electrical industry has
large opportunity and even more
necessity to go to work for recov-
cry. 1t has the organization, the
money, the man-power and the
products and services that can be
sold. Each branch of the industry
is a Well-knit ond harmonious unit.
Leadership as Needed
THE public and industry are re-
ceptive to the idea of American
identification. All that is needed
is leadership and a plan that will
focus the industry as unit upon a
large sales promotion and market
ing program.
For example" the editorial con-
tinues, the American home is the
center of interest and attention
The administration and the electrl-
cal industry are promoting home
identification, which is ssential to
more comfortable and convenient
living Why not organize two
year drive to electrify the 100000
homes now served? Whrat greater
market can be visualized?
Business salvation for all
branches rests in doing this task
rapidly and in volume, instead of
maintaining the present spot mar
ket approach with single product
selling.
Has Missed Opportunity
THE public is ready to accept the
home Identification idea. 1t ties
into the federal housing program
and the home loan program. 1t lies
back of the IVA and other govern
ment projects. National promo
ton of the idea already is resspon-
sible for large increases in appliance
sales. But the electrical industry
has not graSped this opportunity in
an organized way. 1t has capital
lied upon this promotion in village
trickles instead of national surges.
There now exists a golden oppo-
tunity to electrify American homes, -
the editorial concludes, which the
electrical industry should seize, and
thus lead the way to recovery"

fate of the huge auto industry, main
prop of such recovery as has been
achieved to date, will rest then on
what ideas for stabilizing and i'm
proving it can be worked out be-
fore that time by detailed study
Of its problems.
Foremost in urging such a study
is Frances James Dillon, recently
appointed American Federation Of
Labor organizer in Detroit, who be-
lieves a study comparable to that
made in the textile industry is
necessary.
Such phases of the industry as
the thirty-hour week, the replacing
of men by women workers, abolition
of the merit clause, the speedup and
the timing of operations, an annual
wage. and statutory board for the
industry instead of the present pres
idential board, are among the things

ton season, and just the time for a
strike if the studies and hearings
on problems of the industry do not
open up direct hope of changes
favorable to labor after Feb. l.
The struggle to unionize the auto
industry has been sharpened by
pointed efforts of Alfred P Sloan
Jr., president of General Motors, to
encourage a new employee repre-
sentation or company union plan
IN the G.. M. plants. The unions
have flooded the town with htera-
ture in a counter barrage, and re-
doubled their own organizing efforts.
Organized dissatisfaction with the
present code as extended will con-
tinue to grow unless studies during
the critical coming three months
open the way to change after that
time.
Every man, woman and child
who has lifted his voice in favor of
the union is out walking the street,
declares Dillon. That was the very
thing we were told the President
would protect us from when we
agreed to a truce last spring. 1t

Still Has Hope
I'VE haven't given up hope yet,
but we are going to expect that the
problems of the industry will be
tackled in a serious way this win
ter, or else we can't answer for what
will happen in the spring"
