There would do no doubt, of much building were two points clear. These are: 1. Further reduction in the price cf material, or 2. Definite knowledge that there would be no further decline in prices. Either one of these conditions, con tractors say, would insure activity here in construction work.

What may cause delay in erection of much-need-. eci dwellings and otner buildings is expectancy of further decline in prices cf material. It is not believed likely there will he any reduction in the wages of carpenters, bricklayers or other mechanics, but it is believed unskilled labor may fall if unemployment here cuts any large figure. But, according to the belief expressed by several contractors were prospective builders convinced there would be no further drop, many them would proceed with their building projects this year, rcther than to wait The need of additional dwellings here continues to be acute. There has been comparatively little building in the last two or three years, and families are crowded and hampered in their living Quarters.

It is however, that the reduction already effected in the price of lumber and other building material will insure considerable building in the community this year. Several who are contemplating building have already consulted contractors in regard to estimates. Two Churches Started Two churches are in couise of construction, tho work on the buildings was shut down at the. beginning of cold weather last fall. These are buildings for the Central Presbyterian congregation, in Belmont avenue, f.nd for the Polish National Catholic Church in East College street.

The latter building, when completed, will he one of the handsomest church structures in town.

27 Ulster is making preparations to cut loose from the rest of Ireland and become self-governing by Christmas. The Sinn Feiners are busy planning a campaign to prevent this and throw northern Ireland into turmoil. This is the situation in Ulster as I found it today upon arriving here to ascertain what steps were being taken to setup an independent parliament in the northern counties, as provided by the recently passed home rule measure. Sinn Fein' is planning to elect men to the Ulster parliament and then order them not to sit, hoping that the organization will be rendered inoperative thru lack of a quorum and that chaos will result. All Ulster, of which Belfast is the center, is in a stir of activity in preparation for inaugurating home rule which must, be in operation by December.

The first open move was to send a deputation of unionists to London to invite Sir Edward Carson to become the first premier of North Ireland. Carson refused, declaring the passage of the home rule bill would end his activities. Under the surface the Ulsterites are determining upon candidates for that first parliament which, it is accepted generally, will determine Ire-and's future. The broad-minded nw and the statesmanship of the organization will either pull south Ire'tani into the scheme or hopelessly al.W-ate her, according to observers he jta. Fifty-two men are thelower House and appointed to the Sei tish parliament and The unionists will' trol the first northern gardless of what the Sinn Feiners do.

They expect a majority of from twelve to twenty, depending upon the tactics of the opposition. The unionists are counting on so strong a majority that qven with Sinn Fein seats vacant the parliament can function. At the worst Ulster expects a provisional government if that propose1 by the home rule bill should fail. A high official here told me the lord lieutenant of Ireland might appoint a provisional government. The first Irish elections will be held some time between July and August and home rule will be in effect in the winter, it is forecast.

Ja.n. 27. Half a billion dollars in revenues from back taxes probably will be paid into the treasury this year, officials said today.

C. MARTIN nllcd Ireaa Stall Correspoiideut WASHINGTON, D. Jan. 27. The Senate fight over the emergency tariff bill was out in the open today and had become a question of strategy with it-3 Democratic opponents.

While Senator Penrose, Pennsylvania, and other Republican leaders wr pushing for a vote, Democrats wre considering two courses. One was to adopt Senator Pat Harrison's ilibtmter, now on its eleventh clay, as a party movement. The other was to aid tho Republicans in getting a vote and then put on them the responsibil tty of results of th measure, which it friends and foes agree, will be to raise prices. The drawback to the latter course is that some Democrats really favor the measure. The tariff bill was still before Senate when it met today as a result of Penrose's strategy in forcing a re cess instead of an adjournment yes terday.

Republicans planned to keep the hill up as long as possTble and Harrison was to continue filibuster ing or quit, according to wishes of his party leaders. Penrose eaid: "We are entitled to a rot. I believe we will get it. Any way, we smoked out the opposition ajid proved there is a filibuster." Harrison eaid: "It will be easy to prevent a yote on the bill this ses sion now. The danger point is I will be a good soldier and do the beet interests of the country demand.

At present, I have much jaore to eay concerning the bill than I have eaid thus far." LEGISLATURE By United Press to The Notes HARRISBURG, Jan. 27.

Counting of the ballots cast in Wayne county, including Detroit, began today in the Senate recount of the 1912 Michigan senatorial election in which Truman II. Newberry beat Henry Ford. When Wayne county was taken up Ford showed a net gain in the recount to date which had reduced Newberry's plurality from 7,600 to 4,000. If he is to ovorturn the plurality he will have to gain approximately 5,000 votes in the remaining 391 percincts and he has not shown any such rate of gain as yet. Many votes have been thrown out cn both sides, and the final remit will show both Ford and Newberry with greatly reduced totals.

Ford's set gain centrists really of a net loss of about 2,600 votes fewer than New-beiry has lost in the recount. Should Ford win in the recount that will not entitle him to a seat in the Senate committee members said.
