try.wide survey conducted by the
Department of Labor and sum-
married in The Architectural

Characterized as the FIRST au-
thentic examination of actual
building rates ever to be made, I"
the survey covers $3.50 contractors
employing 10000 workers in los
cities in 48 States and the District
Of Columbia. It discloSeS an aver
age hourly wage of 91.8 cents for
all building workers employed dur
ing the period of the survey.
Highest average rates Isl .343
per hour) were paid to hosting
engineers, while sheet metal work
ers' helpers got the lowest average
wage (51.1 cents).
Statistics Uncertain
The darkest secret of industry
has long been the dimensions
of building" the Forum summary
holds. It reported:
Nobody knows within $4,000
units how many houses are built
each year. Nobody knows within
10 million dollars how much
money is spent annually in con.
struction. Nobody knows how
many people it employs. And until
last month nobody even knew
how much building labor costs.
These facts are secrets only
because the Government has not
yet chosen to investigate them.
To the Department of Labor'S
Commissioner of Statistics ISador
Lubin and to Herman B. Dyer, his
Woodworking assistant, this state
of affairs seemed as intolerable
as 1t was to most thoughtful
building men. Last fall they &C.
