accorded to General George Washing

THE HIGH COST OF
BUILDING OPERATIONS
j Serious Indictment Brought August
uncKiayers.
(Richmond Times-Dispatch)
Those egencies studying the hous
ing situation ought to broaden their
inquiries, if the statement made bv'
a real-estate operator is based on the
facts.
Lack of money to finance building
operations, along with high cost of
building materials, has been said to
he at the root of the failure of buil
ders to supply the demand for houses.
The real-estatenam names another
cause. He says that it takes eighteen
months now to complete an operation
which could be completed a few year3
ago in six months. This time is re
quired because "in 1914 a bricklayer
who was paid sixty-five cents an hour
laid not less than 1200 bricks a day,
while now he gets $1:35 an hour and
we are lucky if he lays 500 bricks."
Vhe bricklayer gets twice as much
money for a day's work as in 1914
and lays less than one-half as many
bricks, increasing the cost of labor on
a brick wall fourfold.
If this is true it is a serious indict
ment of the bricklayers. We cannot
believe that self-respecting American
workingmen are guilty of any such
slacking.
The operator indicts the carpenters
also, for. he says that they used to
hang and fit from ten to twelve doors
in a day and that they now hang only:
four. '
These statements ought to be look
ed into not only by the housing com
missions, but by the representatives
of the, labor organizations in order
that they may be disproved, if false,
and that the alleged conditions may
be corrected if they exist
