Wartime wage rates are virtually the sole remaining retardent factor in the construction program in the east, service report. With building materials showing a drop of approximately 25 per cent in price since the high point of 1920, representing a retracement of 40 per cent of the price rise between 1915 and 1920, covering the basic building materials that enter into the con- struction of the average building H D’Oh‘cl, building investors are begin- ni Ing to insist that at least a compa- rable cut be made in wages before they go ahead with construction work they have in contemplation, it is de- clared. Certain architects specializing in apartments. banks, commercial con- struction, dwellings, factory erection, schools, theaters and wharves have been asked what, in their opinion, is the cause of the continued withholding of so many of the great number of building projects that are in prospect, but which, for the most part, are stili being held in abeyance. Their reply is almost unanimously: “Labor wage scales,” the report states. “Cost-Plux” Not Blamed. “Cost-plus” building _construction, now and in recent years increasingly prevalent, does not have a tendency to prompt contractors and builders to take an aggressive stand in demand- ing wage cuts, it is pointed out. Doubtless this Is because they be- lieve that if the present wage agre: ment, which does not expire until the end of the year, is not previously re- opened by ‘their request, and should the skilled building crafts again be- come in excessive demand at some fu- ture time, the excuse will be absent for abrogating or amending future contracts or agreements. Employers say that this policy will remove the element of retaliation in all future { wage controversies, and that in the long run there will result a much greater assurance of industrial peace in_the building trades. | “Labor leaders are not expected to | take the initiative in any wage re- | duction program, but the nidividual | members of the labor organizations have not been blind to what has been transpiring in many other citles throughout the country and have been impressed with the quick resumption of building activity that has resulted from voluntary or involuntary wage cutting. Skilled building craftsmen are reported to have expressed them- selves as having long expected a | wage cut to become effective in New York and have bee nsurprised that the old scales have been kept in force so long.” Dow officials announce. Electricians Start Move. “Some of these craftsmen have been out_of work for some time and there is known to be a movement under way In some of the memberships to | exercise the prerogatives provided for in the existing wage agreement { between the employers and the em- | ployes whereby negotiation may be { opened on the subject of wage read- justment upon formal application “from the floor’ on either side. The electrical workers in New York have already started a movement toward this end. “While there is an unquestioned change in market activity that has been developing steadily for almost a month, it is for the most part of a type that is either ‘cost plus’ or | highly speculative; not of a sort | to promise anything like even normal employment for the idle workmen of the building trades for-some time to come. The architects, engineers and | building construction heads of large corporations frankly say that pres- ent New York wage scales are too burdensome to warrant a policy of { full _ bullding _construction speed | ahead and their clients are not in- clined to try it $200,000 IN SALES MADE BY ALLAN E.

Individual members were assigned specific du- ties, and they are devoting pra tically their entire time to the k. it_is stated. Each member was sup- plied with copies of the booklet re- cently issued by the board, and a su ply of application blanks. The book- let explains the aims and purposes of the board, and gives many reasons why membership is desirable to the real estate and affiliated interests. . detailed information sheet outlining all the requirements and qualifica- tions for membership is posted on the bulletin board in_the offices of every active member. These offices are c operating with the committee in hav- ing their salesmen become associated with the board. The executive secretary, John A.l Petty, has been visiting the larger offices, where salesmen's meetings are regularly held. and has pointed. out in direct contact with the men | the advantages offered salesmen as| agsociate members of the boapd. He| also outlined the policy of the board | in the matter of condemning non-| ethical practices. Chairman Bangs reports that practi- cally the entire old membership have signed a renewal of their membershi; which indicates that the recent reorga ization met with the ‘universal approval of the former board. From present in- dications, it is stated that the campaign will produce twenty-five additional real estate offices as active members and approximately 300 new associate mem- bers, divided between salesmen, affil- iated businesses and property owners.
