Then too the building supply concerns have had their finger in the pie They have boosted material costs more than 10 per dent since last September The final result is that the farmer who gets 12 cents a quart for milk the white-collworker whose sala week and the factory ary worker who receives $4 a day simply cannot afford to hire carpenters and painters and buy lumber and cement at current rates The Federal government has spent a total of $35000000 since 1933 Much of it has gone to solve unemployment Of the jobless nearly half would Tanoio cornedbeef re-elect- ed FLOUR -

have about $1250 for their If suddenly the costs of their house is lifted to $5800 they have to put up $1450 Last year the average family’s income was $1900 It takes many months before they can accumulate that addi“intional $2Q0 On a long-terstalment” mortgage their monthly payment and taxes have advanced from $48 per month to $56 per month This of course is the same as having their rfent boosted $2 per week permanently r “PEGGED” LABOR MARKET Unfortunately labor is a commodity Like copper rubber or wheat it- has its market Its supply and demand is reflected' iii Most people the wage scale would feel that with an industry operating at only 50 per cent of normal and with only half its workers employed that its wage rates would be painfully low This is not true in the building industry Building Tarages dropped only 15 per cent during the depression I am speaking of the quoted union rates Of course with so many R -
