SKILLED LABOR
SHORT
FEARED
Gains in Activity Range From
100 to 500 Per Cent
Over Last Year

With construction gains in
Washington and its environs rang
ing from 100 to 500 per cent over
last year, carpenters, plumbers,
plasterers, and masons are no
longer forgotten men," Contrac-
tors and labor leaders said today
the outlook for the remainder of
the year point, to a shortage of
skilled labor in the building
trades.
Because of the seasonal nature
of their calling and because many
local artisans profess no allegi-
ance to unions or associations,
exact unemployment data on these
workers are unobtainable. From a
survey of local builders, however,
the trend was easily discernible.
Pay Roll Expands
A spokesman for the Shannon
and Luchs Company said:
"To date this year, our bust
ness has equalled our total for
the entire year of 1884. Our pay.
roll has expanded proportion
ately, and now we're beginning
to find that skilled labor is
scarce"
Morris Cafritz finds his
activities up 500 per cent over
last year and now has $50 skilled
laborers on his pay roll as against
handful in 1884.
Specializing in Maryland con-
struction, the North Washington
Realty Company expects to erect
$50 homes during the year,
doubling the rs built in 1884. A
spokesman stated:
$50 far we've had no trouble
finding workers, although we've
hired twice as many as last
year at this time. A shortage
of labor may come about,
though, with other builders in
creasing their activities"
Other firms showing gains are
Waverly Taylor and Lewis Breun.

ter is undertaking an extensive
apartment construction project.
believed to be the first launched
here since 1880. His payroll is
reported to be $50 per cent greater
than last year.
Wage Cutting Charged
John A. Locher, secretary of
the Washington Building Trades
Council, representing the local
unions of the construction in
dustry, said:
"SOme increase is noted in re-
employment of union men, espe-
cialIy for repair work. But
builders and employers here are
not hiring the number of our
men that they should. They
are taking advantage Of hui
man misery. They are paying
carpenters and mechanics So a
day and common laborers as
low as 20 cents an hour. They
are defeating the whole purpose
of the better housing cam
paign.'

forth her merits as ga gentle
woman of courtesy and under

Mrs. Becker, in another state
ment today, also appealed to the
pocketbookS of the D. A. RS,
reiterating a former statement
that she will not raise the So
ciety's dues and adding:

Mrs. Harry A. Marshall, cam
paign manager for Mrs. Becker,
today issued the following state
ment:
THE campaign to elect Mrs.
Becker has been a constructive
one. Her long record of service
in State and national work as
shown in her affiIiatiOn and
collaboration through seven
cons ecutvie administrations
over period Of 20 years at
tests in most striking manner
to the nOnpartiSanship of her
efforts to further the aims and
traditions of the National So

"True to the constitution and
traditions of the National SOci-
ETY. Daughters of the American
Revolution, she has always
been in the front line in her
advocacy Of national defense,
which has always been the es-
sence of thought of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolu-
ton.
"Her own record of leader
ship in these vital teachings
and policies of our society are
also found in the splendid and
representative group of women
who are associated with her on
her ticket which merits the
support of the delegates to the
FOrty-fOurth Continental Con-
