Building Congress
Advocates District
Apprentice Council

The Washington Building Con-
gress was on record today as advo-
eating reintroduction in Congress
of the so-called District apprentice
ship bill to set up an apprenticeship
council here which would promote
and administer of craftsmen.
The organization acted last night
at meeting in the Mayfower Hotel
after members were informed from
5000 to 5000 more construction
workmen would be needed to handle
a sharp upsurge in building which
it is expected will be required in the
District area as soon as controls are
relaxed as the war is brought to a
close.
The number of workmen required
it was said, will be in addition to
the 20,600 craftsmen on the job in
1910.
William F. Patterson, director of
the apprentice training service of
the War Manpower Commission, ex-
planned that apprenticeship coun-
cils are in operation in II States,
and that under the plane appren-
ticeship standards are set through
joint committees of representatives
CT labor, management and others.
One phase of the problem of de-
veloping force of adequately
trained construction workers, he
said, will be to consider a higher
age limit for apprentices so that
more servicemen will be eligible for
training.
Under the plan. he said study
could be given to formula for
crediting a mans service in the
armed services toward his term of
apprenticeship.
Other speakers included Maurice
r. Colbert and John G. Scharf, rep
resenting contractors, and C. F.
