September-probably as many as
million and quarter men-will
be skilled mechanics. About 40
per cent of these will be carpen-
ters. Last summer there were
slightly more than 100000 skilled
workers employed on the site of
new construction.
Activity in Big Start
"The extent to which 1947 al
ready shows promise of being the
huge construction year we fore
cast, is illustrated by the level of
activity during the first two
months. In spite of normal sea-
sonal declines aggravated by Sc
we're winter weather, over $4,000
more workers were employed on
the site of new construction prof.
ects this February than last, and
500 million dollars more was spent
during the first two months of
1947 than in January and Febru-
ary, 1916. The amount spent for
new home building was almost
twice as much during the first two
months of this year as it was last;
highway construction expenditures
were 2H times as great, while ex-
penditures on public utilities and
on industrial construction were up

The statement listed the follow
ing principles that should be ap-
piled to United States peace poll
cies:
/. Security against aggression
for Germany's neighbors.
2. A high level of supervised
production by Germans for Euro
pean and German recovery.
3. Reparations limited to the
surplus above what is required in
Germany for a decent standard of
living and for incentives to work
productivity.
a. Some revision of provisional
German-Polish frontiers to pro-
vide additional agricultural land
to the German people.
5. Respect for the right of the
German people to choose a form of
government which will fit into
peaceful and democratic Europe.
6. Provision by the German gov
ernment for the maintenance of
human rights and fundamental
freedoms.
7. Participation by the German

cations of membership.

Huge Program Seen
Dlscu ing g Construction in
1947," Dyer said:
This year the nation has en-
barked on what may be the most
ambitious construction program in
its history. 1t is likely that nearly
15R billion dollars will be spent
for new construction in 1947-more
than in any previous year, and so
per cent more than in 1916. If
this huge program is accomplished,
the Bureau Of Labor Statistics esti-
mates that something over 2h
million workers Wy be needed at
the site of new projects during
the peak month-probably Sep
6eember. This means employment
0f over three quarters of a million
more construction workers during
this years peak than during last
years.
About 925,OC0 workers will
probably be employed on housing

Milwaukee QLNS).-The Amer

the fight to speak for production
workers at the big plant of the

here.
Lester Washburn, president of
the UAW, said his organization

production employees. The union
will ask the Wisconsin Employ

sion to intervene in a bargaining
election hearing set for April 8.
"Up to this point, because we

jeopardize the outcome of the
Allis- Chalmers strike, we have re-

"But now that the strike has

This column has several times
recently discussed American policy
toward Germany, believing that it
is subject of utmost Importance,
with which all members of organ
lied labor should be familiar. At
the risk of saying too much on the
same subject, this week German
policy is again being taken up, in
connection with a statement just
issued by the Federal Council of
/ the Churches of Christ in America.
The councils statement, pre-
pared by its Commission on Just
and Durable Peace, is another in
dication of the radical change of
American opinion on United States
policy toward Germany. Vengeful
feeling is no longer ruling. 1t is
recognized that a policy leading
to a democratic Germany, with
fair standard of living, is the path
to European reconstruction, last
ing peace and relief to American
taxpayers, which means all of US.
The statement is significant,
representing as it does the great
body Of American Protestant opin-
ion-an opinion very similar to
that Of the Catholic and Jewish
faiths, as reflected by their
spokesmen. The stands of all the
religious groups are in harmony
with that of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, which months
ago urged an enlightened German
program.
Particular reference is made to
Germany in the church councils
statement, which is intended to
help church people assess the re-
suits of the Moscow Conference of
Foreign Ministers. The statement
emphasized the need of taking in
to account the fear that Germany
may again attain military power
and may be built up by Russia or
the Western powers to be used as
a buffer or ally.
"Peace will be observed in the
long run," the statement said.
"more by the health and sanity, by
the spiritual regeneration of the
German people, than by efforts at
repression. The Western powers
most surely will tire of policing
Germany.
"When policing stops there will
be no protection against German
power controlled by indicative
hatred unless the victor nations
have removed some of the major
occasions for indicative hatred
and have given the German peo-
pie the possibility of good life
in the framework of international
cooperation and peace"

ties" and a "just accord between

To Drew Up
Sofefy Code

Montreal (ILNS).-A tripartite
technical conference on safety pro-
visions for factories is scheduled
to meet early in 1948 as a result
of decision taken by the Govern
ing Body of the international
Labor Organization at its 101st
session at Geneva. The conference
to be attended by safety experts
representing governments, man
agement and labor will formulate
a model code for factories.
The code, to be submitted direct
to governments, is expected to be
especially valuable in the rebuild
ing of factories destroyed by the
war. The experts will also draft
a convention on safety provisions
for factories which will probably
be submitted to an early session
Of the International Labor Con-
ference.

Peak In Building
Costs Reached

New York City 1LNS).-Fifty-
three per cent of 268 general con-
tractors in all parts of the country
] polled by F. w. Dodge Corpora
tion, fact-fnding organization of
the construction industry, believe
that the peak in construction costs
have been reached.
In some areas, notably in New
England, the South Atlantic states
and the East South Central states,
opinion was preponderant, at least
2 to /, that costs had attained
their highest level.
Only in the Pacific states was
opinion general that the peak had
not been reached, and here further
cost climbs ranging from IL to IL
per cent during the current cal
endar year were expected.
The minority, or 1875 general
contractors, believe that further
increases can be expected, the av-
erage increase anticipated by them
being 8.7 to 1912 per cent above
current levels.
Most Prices Stable Since January
At the same time the poll indi-
Gated that prices for most build

of lumber, Portland cement, struc-
tural steel and cast-iron soil pipe
and fittings, have tended to re-

More than half of the contrac-
tors reported prices stable for all

ward, while Portland cement,
structural steel, cast-iron soil pipe
and fittings have tended to in
crease since the first of the year,
the Dodge survey shows.
Forty-three per cent of the con-
tractors reported that the average
wage of some building craftsmen
in their respective areas of opera
tion had increased since the first
of the year, and 76 per cent said
that they expected increases later
in the current building season. The
amount of the increase varied but
10 per cent was most frequently
mentioned as the average wage in
crease of craftsmen effectuated
since January or expected this
spring.
Unusual Cost Factors Cited
In general, wage increases since
January 1 are most frequently re-
ported to have become effective in
the Middle Atlantic states, the
West South Central states and the
Pacific states. Anticipated in
creases are frequently reported in
all areas excepting the East South
Central states of Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Alabama and Mississippi.
In this latter area, for example, 45 |
per cent reported that increases
have already taken place, and As |
per cent said increases will take |
place in the average wage level of |
craftsmen within the next few
General contractors, by extreme
ly high majorities, reported that
the following unusual factors con-
tribute to the high costs of build
ing at present:
/. Labor inefficiency caused by
flow of materials, 239 to
%. 2. Delays in construction ow-
ing to inadequate supply of skilled
workers, 200 to 80. 3. Excessive
of time in shopping
for and obtaining materials, 1877

These estimates are certainly not
too optimistic if materials sup
plies continue to improve.
All Building to Rise
ut is especially important to
note that the large volume of
home building will not prevent
considerable expansion in other
types of construction. Bureau Of
Labor Statistics estimates show
that while expenditures for new
housing are expected to rise by 62
per cent this year over last, ex-
penditures for NON residential
building-ehiehy commercial and
industrial construction-will prob
ably advance over a third, public
utilities construction over a half,
and highway and road work per-
haps as much as 80 per cent. OF
the additional three-quarters of
million workers required to man
construction at its peak this year,
less than half-probably around
300,OC0-will be needed on hous-
ing. Demand for the rest will be
primarily for non-residential build
ing, and public utilities and high
way work.
