CONSTRUCTION
INDUSTRY CREDO.
GIVEN CHAMBER.
Sterilization Objective
Of 5-Point Proposal

GNS) A five-point credo Of
principles and proposals designed
to unity and stabilize the con
struction industry was placed be
fore a U. S. Chamber Of Commerce
conference today by William
Stanley Parker, of Boston, general
chairman of the Construction
League of the United States.
OUTLINES CREDO
Parker outlined his suggested
principles and proposals as fol
lows:
/. Public expenditures constl-
tute the largest controllable eco
nomic force available;
2. Public expenditures by mu-
inequalities must be stabilized.
3. Public expenditures by the
Federal Government should be
based upon a minimum normal
program increased from time to
time in varying degree as neces-
Sary to offset national fluctua-
tions in private enterprise.
States and counties should act
similarly in relation to the
trends of local employment.
4. Construction by public
utilities must be stabilized.
S. Promotional programs by
private enterprise should be in
creased during slack times and
decreased in periods of full en-
ployment.
EDUCATION NEEDED
To reach his objectives, Parker
said, will require a process of
education both within and with
out the construction industry"
The resultant steadying of
the national income" he de-
clared, will be of Importance
to the entire country. 1t will be
of greatest Importance to that
large section of the population
directly and indirectly con-
cerned with the operations of
the construction industry.
I'VE who are employed in it
should therefore lead in the
effort to secure the adoption of
these declarations, to solve the
procedural problems involved
and to develop the education
programs necessary to their
acceptance.
Here is a program on which
all elements of the construction
industry should unite with all
the power they possess"

some lines, wages have been re-

of work hours has been wide
spread, but this does not precipi-

FAIL TO UNDERSTAND
Another impression-conviction
derived from mingling with
those in modest circumstances is
that business and industry and
finance have failed lamentably
to interpret themselves to the man
in the street.

wanted to know why a man like
himself should be interested in

"Mr. Craig, do you own an in

Sure"
INVESTOR? OF COURSE
well, wheh you pay your
premium to the insurance COM
pany, they invest your money
in all kinds of American indus
tries. That makes you, and

ance policy, an investor in these
industries. The dividends and

BRASS WORKERS SEEK TEST CASE.
Plan 10 Challenge Legality of Ordinance on Distribu=
 ton of Pamphlets

After careful consideration of the supreme court decision with respect to distribution of handbills, officials of the Waterbury Brass Workers Union today decided to make test case of the local ordinance which governs their distribution in Wa terbury.
 Within the week members of the Waterbury Brass Workers Union will distribute pamphlets at City Hall, without first seeking permis- sion from Superintendent of Police William J. Roach. This permission is necessary according to the local ordinance. It has been sought and obtained by the union in previous cases.
 The supreme court declared a Georgia ordinance similar to that in effect here as unconstitutional Should the representatives of the union be arrested for their violation of the city ordinance, they will fight the case through the courts.

Col. HOuSe-Little Fellow Behind the Big Fellows
By NEA Service

By NEA Service
 Washington, March % - While the world echoes to the grim smashing of the peace treaty he helped to make at Versailles not 20 years ago, "the gentlest, mildest- hammered and mildest-speaking man ever identified with American politics passes from the scene.
 Edward M. House, dead in New York, was one of the most power full Americans of modern times. yet he never held a public office, never ran for one. Always closely identified with politicians as friend and adviser" he was Wood- row Wilson's unofficial Ialleyrand, and until his still unexplained breach with the President in 1919. he was q mighty power behind". the scenes" in the Wilson administra- ton.
 This was as he wished it, for he held an unusual view of admin lSIl dGlOII 1IC Ullly way yOu Cdll really accomplish anything, and do what you want to do," he said, "is to have authority without responsl- bility."
 Show me one of these great big fellows at the head of any thing, and I'll bet you'll find some little fellow back of bim who is actually doing the work" House once told war correspondent
 Only a few months ago, House, who was one of the American signers of the Treaty of Versailles as a member of the American Peace Commission, acknowledged tn there were Obvious mistakes" in the treaty.
 But he died firm in the belief that it was unlikely that a better treaty could have been had in 1919, because neither the govern ments nor the peoples of the allied countries would have accepted it.
