ADJUSTED WAGES
URGED BY ROPER
Favors Mass Home Produc-
ton in Addressing National
Appraisal Forum.

Further support of the idea of an
adjusted annual wage for construc-
ton workers came from a Govern
ment source today as Secretary Of
Commerce Daniel c. Roper told the
National Appraisal Forum, in session
here, that any lowering Of labor costs
to the consumer must be balanced
with commensurate annual returns to
the workers.
Developing the theme that the
housing industry must employ the
mass-production methods found so
successful in automobile production.
Secretary Roper posed the following
question:
Without doing violence TO dis
unctiveness and individuality in resi-
Dental architecture, would it not be
practicable TO plan residential con-
structlon IN large national but locally
ntegrated units, staged by the indus
try on long-range production scale?"
This would" he continued, "as-
sure the building industry of sufficient
volume to justify lower production
costs through quantity for materials
and through continuity of employ
ment for labor 1t would correct
seasonal disparities detrimental to
the interests of labor, as well as those
IN the low income groups who are
houslng-minded. but are unable to
sustain home ownership under present
conditions"
The forum is being sponsored by the
Joint Committee on Appraisal and
Mortgage Analysis.
Others Are Heard,
The Forum, sponsored Jointly by
three Government agencies and three
private appraisal associations, also
heard Horace Russell, general counsel
