FIELD A BUILDING IMPROVES, Reports From Mfi]ority ol States Show More Activity 11.—Having traveled in the last six weeks all states in the Union except those of the¥southeast, Henry N. Teague, fleld agent for the United States depart- ment of labor, reports to the infor- mation and education serviee that industrial and labor conditions show a2 marked improvement during last 60 days. This results in Mr Teague's opinion, from the fact that state and municipal authoritics have come to appreciate t necesstty for buffer cmployment for labor and the possibilities of stimulating business through public men Mr has tr last six weeks, P nceisce and Orlea callin, and the n cities and carrying oAge to them from Secret Wilson When standi impression Mr. Teague sai “There is t public building months. am tmprovements equal coun Washingten.

In many localities federal buildings, for which_sites, plans and appropriations had before the war, are now bocanse the originul appro- will cover present con- struction costs on the buildings ired.

The building figures in the statement are for the first three weeks in February and, while they show building activi- ties far below the pre-war normal, they show, also, a marked increase in February over January of this year Contracts awarded during the first three weeks in February cover build- ing and construction worlks to cost. approximately, $82,000,000.

The department of lahor's statement makes this comment on the w England situation: “The New England section con- trasts in this respect with other sec- tions of the country. especially the middle west, where February is show- ing a large gain over January in the amount of contracts awarded. Of the coniracts awarded during the week ending February 20, private con- struction was 94 per cent whilec 6 per cent was for government constructiom, nothing in the way of municipal or state improvements being included. Of the private construction cent was of an industrial chs per cent business, and 4¢ cent residential.” New York and New Jersey show gain in Febr v over January. Dur- ing the first week in February this district reported contracts on build- ing and construction work totaling $3.716,000: during the second week, $2.242.000. and in the third week, $ 201,000. Total for the three weeks £9,169.000. The January total was $8,152,000. Of the contracts awarded during the week of Febrnary 21, in money value 71 per cent was for pri- vate interests and 24 por cent for state and municipal work. while fed- eral government work was 5 per cent. Of the private construction 78 per cent was of an industrial nature and only 10 per cent resilential. In I'hiladelphia, Baltimore and Washington and adjacent territory, contracts awarded in the lirst week of February were of a monecy total of .187,000; thec second weck the total §1 000 and for the third $1.577.000, a total of $4.934.- for the three weeks. The con- ts in January totaled 313,805,000, latter figure, however, was larger than the normal for Januar, ed on figures from 1910 to 1917 Tn that period the January contracts did not exceed $10,000,000. Ohio, West Virginia and western Pennsylvania show contracts award- ed in the sum of $1,960,000 for the first weck in February. $3 ,000 in the scond, and $1,178,000 for the third week. As January shows con- tracts in th« sum of 16,000, if the district keeps np the February aver- age for the last week in the month it will show a slight imprevement over Janu Residential building in this territory was 38 per cent of the private building which latter was 80 per cent of the total. Towa, Illineis, Wisconsin, TIndiana, Michigan, Missouri and WKansas, on the basis of the department of labor figures, show approximately a five- fold increase in February over Jan- uary. For the first week in Februar in this districl. the contracts reported totaled $14 000; during the sec- ond week, 38,383,000, and in the third week 46,000. The three weeks' total is $69,114,000.
