Eases Shortage

Seventy-five carpenters recruited
from outstate have relieved TO
some degree the shortage of car

Edmund Huffman, executive vice
president Of the Builders Associa-

members of the Detroit Mortgage
Bankers Association last week.
IF we can get together an
other 100 good carpenters
think well have the situation In
hand" Huffman said.
The Builders Association execu-
tive went outstate looking for
help when local builders were I'M
able TO get a sufficient number of
local carpenters Kuhlman said
there was, no acute shortage of
other building mechanics here.
Huffman told the bankers that
he did not believe war production
would cause a serious material
shortage for builders, although we
may have TO take substitutes for
material we're now using" Such
materials include zinc, aluminium
and copper.
Kuhlman does not expect any
further material rise in wage
scales. although he pointed out the
s., 600 house Of a year ago would
cost from Z TO 8 per cent more to-
day because of increased material
and labor costs.

Alabama Steel
Output to Run
At 90 Percent
By the Associated Press.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, August l.
Steel production in Alabama will
continue at 80 per cent of capacity
next week and pig iron output will
continue at 95 per cent.
New business in July has been
heavier than in June and most lines
are sold out for the third quarter,
and many for the remainder of the
year.
The rail mill of the Tennessee
Coal. Iron and Railroad Co., at
Ensley will resume operations next
week. 1t has been shut down for
vacations and because Of shortage
of ingots, despite heavy backlog.
Usually well-informed sources
here say some rail business which
normally comes to Birmingham has
been declined.
Work on rebuilding and enlarging
a blast furnace at the Ensley works
of T. C. I. is slightly ahead of
schedule, and tn furnace may be
blown in before September /. the
date originally set. Resumption Of
operations at this furnace should
increase steel output here by re-
ieving the basic iron shortage.
