 BID-FIXERS
 SHOULD BE PUNISHED
 ub-contractors should be ruth lessly pursued by the Department of Justice when they attempt to fix bids-which they do upon a large scale.
 Material dealers should be equally pursued and prosecuted when they attempt to enter into combinations to fix prices and hold up costs. This is one of the most serious obstacles to building.
 City tax policies have got to be examined, because after buildings are erected the tax burden is so great from local authorities that operating the building at a profit becomes difficult.
 This is further complicated by the demands of the maintenance unions. The union leaders should look this over carefully them selves to see whether they are not going too far. I am not complain ing about wage rates of mainte- nance workers, but about the re- quirements as to the number of

Investment in building is being held up by group of easily rec ognizable factors. One is labor. Labor obstacles arise from several sources:
 CD The wage of building labor is absolutely prohibitive now. It is defended by labor on the ground that building laborers do not work enough days a year to earn living at smaller wage.
 But the higher they put the wage, the fewer days they work. They now have 1t at a point where building becomes impossi- ble.
 CD Working conditions make building labor too costly. The six hour day is perhaps the most seri- ous setback. The refusal to per- init builders to use savings of all sorts, the attempt to compel the builder to adopt the most wasteful and expensive form of construction processes in order to increase work not only does not increase it, 1t kills 1t altogether.
 (3) Labor rackets which many dishonest leaders use to hold up building contracts should be ruth lessly put down. These are found in the big cities where building could be most abundant.

ruptcy. This will clean up their debts and revive their credit. Hum dreds of millions would pour into the roads for reconstruction. As for the utilities, the admin istration should make up its mind what it is going to do about them and make that as clear as pos- sible. And the utilities themselves should make up their minds to submit to the provisions of the utility holding company act, which are perfectly reasonable. But the s. E. c. should hasten action in forcing compliance.
 These three steps would aid vastly in advancing recovery.
