Mr. Daugherty contin- ued, has suffered the real loss where building operations have been dis- couraged through general practices of preferences granted by the building unions. “It is manifest.” he said, “that such a state of affairs is likewise one of the most potent factors in the ex- orbitant prices that have prevtiled in building and related materials. all of which have tended to create and con- tinue the acute shortage of housing in every large city in the land.” Other proceedings, Mr. Daugherty yers or trade assoclations or con-! ation through- | Abe Martin Says: Oul.

The statement of Attorney General Daugherty that the decree constitutes “a new bill of rights for the home builder. the rent payer, the manufac- turer and the business man who has to build" was described by W.

Spencer. secretary of the bulilding {rades department of the American ederation o or, as “the bigi bunk in the world.” LR Mr. Spencer said Attorney General Daugherty is leading the public to belicve that the labor organizations are responsible for the building in- dustry troubles. “This is positively untrue,” he deciared. “The whole decree is not so deadly t appears on the surface,” he said.

Secretary Weeks and Gen. Pershing, testifying yesterday before the Sen- ate military affalrs committee, sald that the War Department desired to have given It power'td redlstribute and balance the officer personnel of the Army, In the different grades. They were discussing the bill fixing the officer strength of the Army at 12,000 instead of the maximum 17,000 of existlng law. Such redistribution and balancing, Secretary Weeks said, would prevent the officer grades from becoming top- heavy, and would promote efficiency. With 12,000 officers, he: said, the Army could adequately take care of the present Army strength. The same number of officers, however, he added, would be necessury were the Army elther 25,000 or %’n‘uwo smaller or larger than at present. Many Would Be Retired. According to Gen. Pershing's fig- ures, the biil would retire 105 col- onels and 117 lleutenant colonels in the five months immediately after its enactment into law. The number of other officers who would be placed on the Inactive list was not estl: mated. . Chairman Wadsworth announced to the committee that he had received replies to questionnalrés from the heads of forty-two educational in- stitutions of more than local impor- tance, which have military training, and that with one exception the an- swers were that the schools consid- ered military instruction under Army. officers a “distinct asset.” Al peared anxious to carry the work further, Mr. Wadsworth added. Officers in Demand. Mr. Weeks told the committee the drain on the officer personnel of the Army was graduslly becoming heavier. The department, he said, was unable to supply all the officers de- manded by the Natlonal Guard, and he mentloned also a shortage for duty at educational institutions. Further, he said. the citizen training camps and other trainiug centers were mak- ing calls, and every effort was belng made to give them the ofiicers needed. —————— FSOCIAL AGENCIES TOPIC OF MONDAY EVENING CLUB ! i 1 h { | i Various Phases of Work Will Be Discussed by Speakers at Banquet. “The Place of Councils of Social Agencies in American Communities™ !is to be the general topic to be dis- cussed by the after-dinner speakers at the Monday Evemng Club banquet % Rauscher's Monday evening at 7 elock.

The appropriation bill carrying ap- proximately $25,300,000 for the De- partments of Commerce and Labor for the fiscal year 1923 was passed by the House late yesterday without any amendment of consequence. This is the seventh of the twelve annual supply measures. Of the total, $18,500,000 is provided for the Commerce Department and $6,800,000 for the Labor Department. The measure went through practical- 1y in the form in which it was report- ed by the appropriations committee, only a few amendments, all of minor importance, being adopted. The bill was passed without a roll call. $1,533,410 for Bureau. Included in the Department of Commerce appropriation is §1,533,410 for the bureay of foreign and domes- tic commerce.
