Nobody knows within $10,000,000 how much money is spent annually in construction. Nobody knows how many people it employs. And until last month nobody even knew how much building labor cost. United States Rate Averages. “These facts are secrets only be- cause the Government has not yet chosen to investigate them. To the | Department of Labor's commissioner of labor statistics, Isador Lubin, and to Herman B. Byer, his hard-working assistant, this state of affairs seemed as intolerable as it was to most thoughtful building men. Last Fall thoroughgoing survey of the most ac- building wage rates.” Conducted during the months of September, October and November, the actual survey involves pay roll figures through October, 1936, gained from personal interviews with 5.450 contractors. As an indication of the survey's eventual scope, these same contractors during the first six months of 1936 alone completed work eval- uated at $338.829,331, and the Depart- ment of Labor estimates that the 186,000 workers covered comprise one- fourth of all workers in the building | industry. Finally, the data used were drawn from the actual records of con- tractors questioned, ignoring the du- blous accuracy of published union rates. “In computing average rates of the s e 186,000 workers surveved,” the Forum |article reports, “the figures were weighted to take into account the fol- lowing facts: 67.7 per cent were union members, 56.8 per cent were skilled workers, 23.0 per cent were semi-skilled. 20.2 per cent were unskilled. “On this basis, the average hour! rate of all building workerr:gwa.soglli cents. Highest average wage rates went to hoisting engineers, who re- celved $1.343 per hour. Second high- est were structural iron workers with $1.332. Also above the $1.30 mark were bricklayers, electricians and metal lathers. Lowest average rate was the | 511 cents which went to sheet-metal workers' helpers. Average wage rates they accordingly set out to make a | cessible of building’s many secrets—its | involve ‘average wages’ the ‘actual’ rates listed in the department survey telt & more detailed story, for while the average hour rate for the entire building industry is 91.8 cents—among the highest in all industry—nearly 50 per cent of the employes receive less than this average. Nearly 35 per cent made less than 75 cents an hour and 12 per cent made less than 50 cents. “As was to be expected,” the article continues, “the survey revealed union wages to be umversally and substan- tially above non-union wages. How- ever, the department reports that this differential is partly accounted for by% the fact that a great proportion of | the union workers were in the skilled categories. Widest spread reported | was between union and non-union | electrictans in New York City—a dif- | ference of 81.7 cents an hour. Unions | flourish best in the Northern States. About, three-fourths of all workers sur- veyed in the Middle Atlantic, North | Central and Pacific States were union- | ists, whereas less than half those in | Southern States belonged. “Wage rates for union and non-! union labor declined in direct ratio | to the size of the cities studied. Thus the average in cities with populations | between 500,000 and 1.000,000 was 6.9 per cent lower than cities with popu- | lations over 1,000,000, and so on down | to cities between 50,000 and 100,000, | where the over-all average wage Was | 23.4 per cent less than in cities of over 1,000,000. “However, non-union rates declined | much more sharply than union rates as cities grew smaller.” Thus the non- union rate dropped 28 2 per cent and | the union rate only 18.6 per cent, going | from cities of 1,000,000 down to cities of around 50.000 “Since these wage rates were com- piled last Fall, union rates have staged spectacular advances in many cities with the negotiation of Spring con- tracts.”” the Architectural Forum edi- tors emphasize, and in an effort to | measure the change they have taken limited data from 20 cities of the labor survey and added to it the results of an independent survey showing the current union contract scale as of June, 1937. Thus union bricklayers in Birmingham, Ala., who received $1.04 per hour in 1936, have now | lsxgned contracts at $1.50, and struc- | | tural iron workers in New York who | | once got $1.60 have contracted for $1.92. And in the face of the present | rising market it is likely that these | demands will be met, if not ex- | ceeded, by late-season bonuses. ©of 46.9 per cent of the workers stood | - above $1 an hour, while better than 65 per cent made more than 75 cents. | Also noteworthy is the fact that 16 of the 31 categories of workers listed | hourly wage of better than $1. Geographic Variations. “As in all industries, wage rates in building exhibit sharp regional varia- tions. Highest in 1936 was $1.062 an hour in the Middle Atlantic States; lowest was 64.5 cents in the East South Central States.” Others: East North Central. Pacific . Mountain - New England. West North Central South Atlantic__ 78.8 cents West South Central____ cents Bricklayers got by far the highest pay in the East South Central, Moun- tain and Pacific States, the survey shows. Metal lathers were best paid in New England; hoisting engineers in the Middle Atlantic States; struc- tural iron workers in the East North Central and South Atlantic; steam- fitters in the West North Central and West South Central States. “Whereas the figures already quoted 98.2 92.1 90.1 89.9 cents cents 88.0 cents A prominent corner in large inclosed sun room landscaped lot.

Large-scale rental housing projects, suitable to the needs of the 51 per cent of American families which find it wiser to postpone home ownership and live in rented quarters, are a nec- essary part of any well-integrated public or private housing program, ac- cording to Miles L. Colean, director of the Federal Housing Administra- tion's large-scale housing division. ‘While the insured mortgage system is making it possible for hundreds of thousands of families to purchase homes on termas more favorable than those previously available, Mr. Colean pointed out that the Federal Hous- ing Administration is also concerned with improving conditions for the renters of the country, through the in- surance of mortgages on large-scale rental projects. As in the case of mortgages on indi- vidually owned houses, funds for the construction of large-scale housing projects are advanced by private lend- ing institutions. The Federal Housing Administration protects the lending institution against loss by insuring the mortgage, and assures the develop- ment of sound, well-constructed and | attractive projects by requiring that properties securing mortgages conform to at least the minimum qualitative standards set up by the large-scale housing division. “The Federal Housing Administra- tion is as interested in improving the housing conditions of the renters of the country as in making home own- ership possible for those who can | afford to buy or build homes,” Mr. Co lean said. “The rental housing field has been | subject to many of the abuses and | unsound practices which have con- | tributed to the instability of the home mortgage and construction flelds. The | national housing act gave the Federal Housing Administration power to aid in the eradication of many of these| evils. } “We prevent ‘jerry-building’ of | | structures by demanding that plans | and specifications for projects offered for insurance be checked thorfiuflhl\'l by our technically trained staff, and | we inspect buildings during the course | of construction.

Every project approved inciudes a long-range maintenance and management program, which will, we belive, eradicate many of the man- agement {lls which ruined hundreds of rental projects in other days.” $180 000 INVOLVED _ IN REALTOR’S DEALS Recent Sales of Homes and Prop- erties Listed by L.
