W. Straus | reports. In a national survey of wage rates | just completed by the Builders’ Asso- ciation of Chicago it has been found that there are few changes over the country generally. As compared with a year ago plumbers, gas fitters and roof- ers of Chicago are getting an increase of 121; cents an hour. Plumbers, c ment finishers and roofers in Cleveland also are receiving an increase of 121, cents an hour. | In Washington, New York and De- troit wages continue at about the same | rates. In San Francisco the average drop in some of the principal trades amounts to approximately 10 cents an | hour, while the average for craftsmen | in Dallas, Tex., amounts to a decrease | of 25 cents an hour. | A majority of the tradesmen in the ! 114 cities surveyed are receiving the | same wages as last year. The firm condition of the building | materials market which has existed for | several months continued through Sep- tember and price changes were not suf- ficient materially to affect the cost in- dex. Local declines in some materials were offset by increases in other lo- calities, Cement and common brick remained unchanged. Curtailment in pine and fir production prevented a slump in price,- although there was some weakness as compared with the preceding month. The structural steel shapes market, on the other hand, was rather active and the third quarter closed strong with good prospects for the final quarier. Proiestant and Jewish atiorneys tended the first celebration of the “red mass” in America at New York. More than 250 justices and judges were in the congregation addressed by Cardinal | Hayes. “Standard Screens” MADE IN WASHINGTON LOW PRICES Estimate Furnished Free 927 15th St. NNW.
