WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 -
Shortages still prevail in several
key construction materials but
the outlook is fairly promising, "

Most building material will be
available in sufficient quantities
TO satisfy the anticipated needs
for new construction and main
tenance in 1916, the divisions re-
port said, but output of the three
basic building materials in short
est supply--Cast iron pipe, brick
and gypsum board and lath; must
be sharply increased at once il
next years demands are TO be
filled on time.

A further expansion of Briggs
postwar manufacturing facilities
results from the purchase last
year of the John Douglas Co.

purchase was 10 round out the

enable it to supply complete

institutional projects.

Trede-ins Cause Problem

The problem of trade-ins was
botherlng the dealers at the
meeting more than their dis
count cuts. Under the OPA
rules, they must allow a "rea-
Sonable" price on the trade-in.
The reasonable price until now
has been the "as he" ceiling
of OPA.
But. David Griffith, Olds and
Cadillac dealer from Detroit
pointed out, some of the used
car prices are now over the cell
ing on 1916 cars.
what are we supposed to
give buyer a bonus for giving
us his old car to take a new
one" he asked. That's not rea-
sonable, OPA will either have TO
cut their used car ceilings or
declare an open market In used
cars"
Washington representatives
of NADIA said that Bowles did
not contemplate any change in
used car ceilings right now.

Citrus Prices
Rise in Detroit

Prices Of citrus fruits were
skyrocketing in Detroit today
OPA ceiling prices were removed

chants TO return to the prewar
practice of selling oranges and
other citrus fruits by the dozen

Dealers TO Make Less

Anderson pointed out that
GIN dealers will be asking a
smaller profit per unit than
their competitors. Their dis
count was slsshed along with
the others, although the retail
price was brought down under
the OPA formula.
This means that the GM
dealer will make less on each
car than he did In 1872" An
derson said. His overhead IL
larger, too, so he will make
less"
Anderson admitted that when
volume production is reached
the dealers will make up for
this. But his policy apparently
was cash in now"
Detroit evening times., 1945-11-21
UnfevorebIe Earnings

In any case, earnings in the
final quarter will be unfavor-
ably affected by the low volume
of body production and the year
as whole will undoubtedly
show a substantial drop from
the net of S., ,307161, or S272
reported for 1911 The nine
months comparison was S166 a
share, against $2.07 a share in
1914.
Purchase Of the so-called
Outer Drive plant here from
the government and additions
TO several older plants have
giVsn the company about 25
per cent more capacity for body
work than before the war.
Meanwhile, il has obtained a
larger proportion of Chrysiers

CLEVELAND. Nov 20--While
the steel industry faces a possible

wage negotiations, producers are
more Immediately concerned over
the loss of output due to the
present shortage of workers in
the mills, state Steel magazine.
Strike votes of the Steelworkers
will be taken Nov. 28 by the Ma

although Steel feels it "lnwar-
ranted speculation TO read into
the present situation that a strike

month was a certainty
Meanwhile. $4,000 jobs in the
steel industry are going begging.
The situation. Steel says. con-

sands displaced from high-paying
war jobs are drawing unemploy-
ment compensation. II continues
despite aggressive recruiting cam
paigns by the steel producers and
is accentuated by a high rate Of

Gov + Forecasts
On Profit Hit
By LEWIS HANEY

Professor Of rsonorio Ntv iors tni''r'i'J
a New York reader asks
What do you think of the
CoNernment's forecasts of high
manufacturing profits In 1915"
Don't they Justify higher
wages ,"
Answer. These forecasts are
mere biased CueSSeS, made by
tew radical economists, and gladly
accepted by a few politicians
seeking reelection through the
labor vote.
They are made on very shaky
and improbable assumptions con-
cernlng the productivity OF labor
cost az materials. etc, etc. Sec
ona. they do not constitute any
justification Of higher wages,
since they are based on average
figures. and do not allow for the
marginal or hIgh-cost producers.
