BUILDING BOON
SPREADING TO
ALL SECTIONS
In the thousands of letters, quef
tionnaires and .reports received in th<
department of labor during the las
month, from building interests th
country over, there is one propositioi
cn which there ts complete agree
ment. None suggests that the futuri
of the building Industry will brinj
anything other than unprecedented ac
tivlty and prosperity. All agree thal
the present labor surplus, which if
causing some anxiety, is temporarj
and that within a year it will have
changed to a marked shortage. Many
building authorities urge the presenl
labor surplus as one of the clrcum
stances favorable to immediate build
ing and construction work. These al
so assert wages are not excessive in
the building industry if labor renders
its maximum service for the wages
paid.

house. It is not considered a novelty

! Democrat, senator.
Mrs. Delora Wilkins Blakely, Mrs.

ton-Airey, all of Salt Lake, and all
Democrats.

asking, “why should the law provide
for an eight-hour day for men and a
nine-hour day for women?” They also
are interested in equal wages for
equal work for both men and women.
Mrs. Hayward, in the senate, be
lieves in equalization of the work day
and for equalization of wages. Other
legislation advocated by Mrs. Hay
wards is a change in the minimum
wage law.

openly declared for an eight-hour law
for women and other legislation af
fecting her sex. She also advocates

and extended educational conditions
and Americanization of aliens.

all legislation that will benefit women.
Dr. Grace Stratton-Airey favors the
above-mentioned legislation besides
providing means for punishment of
automobile thieves. She opposes leg

property to determine the rights of
married couples.
