To Curb Building Costs,

The cleaning goal of the anti
monopoly building probe is to bring
down costs. Arnold is proceeding
on the theory that in countless COM
munities these are outrageously and
arbitrarily high. In 1867, just as
students Of housing believed the
long-delayed revival of building was
at last at hand. rising costs choked
the revival. In a number of large
cities the increase was more than
Is per cent. In more than half of
the cities reporting. 1t was over 10
per cent. In White Plains, N. Y,
cost Of house sky-rocketed 10 per
cent between July, 1886, and July,
1887. The collapse of construction
followed. 1t contributed much to
the 1887 recession. In Thurman
Arnold's opinion. the most conspicu-
Gus reason for high costs is "un-
reasonable restraint of trade" which
appears at every level of the build
ing industry. Prices are kept up by
series of devices which are often
ruthless and tyrannical. Weaker
and smaller competitors are gener-
ally the victims Authorities who

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 12.-The

<In his first speech to a Federation

Mr.. Martin renewed many of his

asserting the G. I. O. chief held the
greatest contempt for autonomous

He charged too, that Mr.. Lewis

cred, it will be helpful to the trade
union movement at this time"
Mr.. Morrison, 80 next November,
has been secretary since 1896. Trade
union leaders predicted George
Meany, president of the New York
State Federation of Labor and
member of the Plumbers Union,
would succeed him. Delegates
created a s6,0O0-a-year retirement
