NEW YORK, Septgmber 3.—De- spite the wo-called “buyers' strike," which began late in April, the cost of building construction in New York has been reduced only slightly gince, and a comparison of the figures of September 1 and of April 28 is dis- appointing, says the current Dow Service Daily Bullding Reports. What was gained by the building public in lower prices of* materials was lost in higher wages pald to labor, the report says, adding that labor’ hag becoms more plentiful for the type of construction work lkely to proceed this fall and winter.

Sure of Victory. Assurance was given President Coolldge that the prospects in Mis- sourl for the republican party are good, and that the party organization is entrenching itself strongly pre- paratory to entering into the 1924 national campaign. For nearly three-quarters of an hour this morning President Coolidge was in conference with Gov. Arthur M. Hyde of Missour|, Dr, Ed B. Clem- ents, republican state chairman for that state, and Conrad Mann, & mem- ber of the executive committee of the republican state committee. Politics Main Tople, Although a varlety of subjects were discussed, it was intimated aft- erward that matters politically in Missour! composed the major part of the conversation. _ There has been great activity on the part of the republican leaders to strengthen their forces since the elections last November and consid- erable success has been met, it was learned, in smoothing out existing differences among some of the work- ery in varlous parts of the state, Or. Clements, who is directing th organization work there, sald that he has been holding a series of county and district meetings for the party workers for several months and that he fully expects to have a solid and united party organization when ‘the time comes to start the next cam- paign. Patronage Not Discussed. These three Missourl leaders, after leaving President Coolidge, were em- phatic_ in saying that the question of future patronage was not brought up during the conference. They did say that the republicans of Missouri, especially those in t. Louls, are making an active attempt to bring the republican national convention to St. Louis next summer. It was said also that the matter of prohibition enforcement was touched upon. Gov. Hyde said state and city au- thorities are co-operating in every way possible to enforce the Volstead act and will continue to do so.
