and JAMES BEIIRY President JOSHUA XV CARR Secretary Elk Grove Butter ure and Wholesome A Butter that adds zest to meals comes in germproof cartons It GOLDEN CO 922 928 La Ave Wholesalers Only A committee of the Board of Trade wiU investigate building1 conditions In Washington and frame a xeport upon the situation presented with such remediesasniay oe suggested in jthe course of the inquiry Provision for this committee was made at -yesterdays meeting of the directors aft er the question had been informally discussed for an hour It was represented in this discussion that building operations are at a standstill and are likely to remain so for months unless special or organized effort is made to solve the problem The discussion developed two prominent features which it was said constitute the chief stumbling block to progress in building namely the labor situation and the prices of materials The labor situation was described as being a persistent demand for continuance of the wages and hours of 1918 Builder Explains Conditions One builder said the question of wages cculd be eliminated provided laborers would work the regulation 8 hour day He said that because of the high prices for everything the worker buys he did not see bow the worker could afford to labor for less wages than in 1918 but he emphasized the fact that the laborer could show a willingness to aid in the reconstruction movement by giving eight howrs of faithful work for the wages paid So far as the labor problem enters into the situation this builder thought living up to the 8 hour day was the solution of the problem With reference to materials much was said which showed that the dealersdealers in supplies are unwilling to concede lower prices except on the basis of the profits realized during the war period It was shown that these profits were much larger than in normal times Material Is Chief Problem The chief purpose of the inquiry therefore will be directed to a solution of the material problem President Brown was authorized to name a committee with representatives from the material men from builders real estate men banks and the public which shall make the investigation and report The question of making the commissioners of the District associate members of the board was referred to the committee on law to draft an amendment to the by laws Henry McKee was elected a
