LABOR TURNOVER ' COSTLY PROCESS Favorable Conditions Shown by a National Survey and Analysis. Building labor conditions through out tlie country are considered gen erully favorable, according to a na tlonal survey Just completed by S. ff. Straus & Co. One of the factors In promulgating the generally favorable tone." the sur vey avers, "has been the unusual amount of employment throughout the building crafts during the winter months. These conditions were partly owing to mild weather In some sections of the country, but It Is noted that ef forts to Increase the volume of con f structlon In the so called off seasons I have been successful, I "Current building trades rates per hour show that building labor is now j getting peak wages. In the national ! survey they range as follows : Brick layers, from $1.12*4 to $1.75; carpen ters, 70 cents to $1.00; hodcarrlers, 50 { cents to $1.25; plledrlvers, 50 cents to $1.12\4 ; structural Ironworkers. 00 cents to $1.50; common labor, 25 cents to 87 H cents an hour. "Present wage rates In St. Louis carry the highest scale In the country. Negro hodcarrlers there signed a new agreement specifying a $1.25 an hour rate. "St Louis painters are demanding a rate of $1.50 an hour from Monday to Friday, Inclusive, and $3 an hour for Saturday and Sunday work. New York, Chicago, Cleveland, and some other large cities laborers ere getting from 75 cents to 87 V4 cents an hour. li "In many cities," the survey points out, "the building trades have ar ranged for renewal of the 1923 wage j scales for the ensuing year. "Co-operation of building unions and 1 contractors In establishing apprentice I ship schools during the year Is aiding to some extent In relieving the labor shortage. In Chicago the citizens' com mlttee to enforce the Landis award and contractors operating under the con ditions of the award have developed one of the nation's foremost bnlldlng trades apprenticeship schools. Stu dents throughout the country have be gun courses of schooling In the build ing line. "New York building mechanics re cently signed new contracts calling for a 50 cent a day boost The In crease establishes a $10.50 a day scale for basic trades. In Chicago most of the trades are reported as satisfied with the present rate of $1.25 per hour. "Minneapolis, Son Francisco, Balti more, Philadelphia, Cleveland and Denver are among the principal cities which will retain the 1Ö23 wage rates for the ensuing year. In Cincinnati, St Louis, Pittsburgh, Nashville, Kan sas City, Youngstown, St. Paul, New Orleans, Houston and Sioux City In creases have been granted or are pend I Inc. "In Los Angeles bricklayers' bonuses have been eliminated and the $10 a day wage scale Is the minimum; In Memphis bricklayers' wages have been cut from $1.50 an hour to $1.37V4 an hour. Plumbers there were raised 7% cents an hour." The survey concludes by showing that wages In Canada are much lower than In the United States. In Mon treal bricklayers get 90 cents an hour ; carpenters, 65; hoisting engineers, DO; hodcarrlers, 35; pile drivers, 50; struc tural Iron workers, 65, and common laborers, 25 cents an hour. ! yards Is to be enforced by employers j on April 10. About 100,000 workers I will be affected. The conference In rrirrjr A national lockout ha, been declared committee, at the opening of hearings on the Howcll-Berkley bill proposing abolition of the board. The bill, which ! Is sponsored by railroad labor organ izations, proposes settlement of r«U General Labor Notes A general lockout In all British ship In consequence, A bill In the New York legislature giving women right to wages for their services as housewives was killed In j committee. This measure, It was point I ed out, was killed because, although I the husband supports the wife, she Is I under no obligation to keep house for him, and furthermore that while she \ could charge him for such services, I she Is not even required to live with ; him. The railroad labor board was de 1 dared to be a failure and unsatlsfac i tory alike to the "public, the railroads ! and the employees," In a statement by D. B. Robertson, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Englnemen, before a subcommit tee of the senate Interstate commerce road labor disputes by conference be ,ween s * l ^ h,18an representatives of mllroad managements and employees, <lth further recourse to mediation and arbitration. It Is expected that the compromise " T1 th ® *L° t n ton, suggested by Mayor Curley, will result In bringing the trouble to an e,1< l shortly. Employers contended for u forty-four-hour week and worker* for a forty-hour week, T suggested a forty-two-honr period and the workers have agreed. Mayor Curley _ . ...... Through mediation by the minister #f , abof the empl0Jen und dock work enf of Hamburg. Germany, have ar rived at an agreeemnt terminating the dock strike, and work has been re sumed. Spring Brings to the Fore the Question cf Cost of Hiring and Firing. With employment again on the uiv grade In the Middle West and the sea sonal shifting of worUers In prospect. the subject of labor turnover becomes of Immediate Interest, says a writer In the Chicago Tribune. Spring restlessness Is felt In the great majority of Industrial plants. Common laborers, who enter the foun dries and factories In the cold months, feel the urge of the outdoors and listen to old man Hookey, who used to peer In the schoolhouse window. The halt usually Is a building Job for the la borer Instead of the Ashing pole and can of worms that caused so many of us to fall from grace In kite or marble time. Addressing the local Society of In dustrial Engineers the other night, M. Howard Montgomery urged more honey and less vinegar In the fore man's lunch basket and expressed a doubt whether many executives appre ciate the cost of hiring and firing. He presented an estimate worked out after two years' study hy a West side concern employing 350 men. lie gave It for what It was worth, adding that he thought It reasonable after about twenty-five years of experience In shop and foundry practice. Here It Is, the cost of hiring and tiring a man : Advertising, 50 tents ; clerical work, 75 cents; Instructing new workers, $5.50 ; wear and tear on equipment, $12; loss In production, $25.50; defec tive work, $12 ; accidents, $3 ; Inter est on equipment, 50 cents; total, *59.75. Mr. Montgomery said that Industry will never be free from labor turn over, but at $50 per shift the cost Is now excessive. He suggested a better reflection of company policies by fore men, to be obtained by education of the foremen. As to any prospect of labor short age he remarked: "There Is a whole being said for and against the pro posed Immigration bill before congress at this time. Several of our aldermen ar^ trying to Influence the committee. What Is It all about? Last year many. In fact all, of the large employing concerns found It possible to secure two and three men for every Job they had, and most of these concerns em ploy only those who are citizens of the Ü. S. A. and physically lit. Does that Indicate a shortage of labor?" The answer may be found In the production records of 1923 and 1924 as given out by the Department of Com merce and estimated In the various federal reserve bulletins. lot One of the most interesting and In structive suggestions for nn Intelligent mobilization of American labor re sources was made recently by Mr. W. H. Ingalls In Mining und Metallurgy. Discussing what 1s to become of the bituminous coni miners who are to be dispensed with as the new wage, agree ment between the union ami operators closes down more mines. In addition to the 4,000 now down and out, Mr. In galls suggested that the United Mine Workers has plenty of money and (In the person of Mr. Lewis) plenty of brains, with Ootnpers able to help. Recalling how laborers In pre-war I Russia used to bund themselves to I gether, elect leaders, and then make j | j 1 contracts for Jobs all over the era pire, proceeding from one place to I the other us the demand arose, Mr. ! tngalls suggests thnt a similar peace 1 ful army of industry might he formed from the ranks of superfluous miners, single men especially.

This action was taken at a meeting of Local No. 90 of the Operating PIus | terers and Cement Finishers' Inter national association. The local has about 600 members. In a bold effort to avert the threat ened coal strike In Great Britain, Prime Minister MacDonald has de cided to stake the life of his govern ment on the miners' minimum wages hill, which Is to be Introduced In April as a government measure. If the bill falls, It appears certain that almost 700,000 coal miners will strike on April 17, when their present wage agree ment with the owners ends.
