BUILDING PROGRAM WILL REVIVE
BUSINESS AND CHECK RADICALISM
While in Washington, Congress is
investigating Bolshevism and the U.
S. Department of Labor is issuing
bulletins on strikes and labor sur
plus, Indiana is preparing to fight
both radicalism and unemployment
through a home-building and home
owning campaign,
H. V. Haymaker, who as a repre
sentative of the U. S. League of
Building and Loan Associations, is
cooperating with the Information and
Education Service of the Department,
of Labor in investigating and stl-:
mulating building and construction!
work brought to Washington the
first word of the Hoosier strategy!
On his return from Indianapolis, Mr.!
Haymaker said:
“I shall not be surprised if Indi
ana makes a remarkable showing
this year in a campaign against ra
dicalism and unemployment through
home-building and home-owning. In
his address before the annual con-I
vention of the Indiana »eague of
Savings and Loan Associations in!
Indianapolis, Pesident W. B. Reed
insisted that the cure for both these
menace was homes and more homes.:
Reed's appeal for a state wide cam
paign for home owning met an en
thusiastic response and out of it will1
come, I believe a state-wide home-1
buiding drive that will have the en
couragement of the state and muni-;
cipal officials. The effect of such a
campaign is bound to be profoundly!
beneficial for the home owning man'
in every community takes the res-'
ponsibilities of citizenship seriously!
and is not prone to quickly take up'
untried social and political theories
and experiments."
While the figures are by no means
complete data obtained by the Divi
sion of Public Works and Construe-'
tion Development of the Information
and Education Service, clearly indi
cate a revival of home building in
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Ohio. Ac
tivities in this field not yet are nor
mal but from week to week an in
crease is shewn indicating a grow
ing confidence on tne part of private
building interests.
AH authorities in the building in-'
dustries agree there is a pressing del
mand for residential buildings. The
a steadily increasing labor surplus.
With the Department's figures may
be considered Frank Morrison’s state'
ment. As secretary of the Ameri-'
ca Federation of Labor, Mr. Morri
son's estimate is significant. He says
there are 500,000 men now out of
■ employment in the United States.
Thtre is money, and American has
come borne to be the wealthiest na
tion, by far in the world.
With these elements favorable to*
building and construction work, the!
results of the investigation of the1
Division of Public Works and con-'
struction Development as to whyj
building is not being resumed more!
rapidly is interesting. High prices!
for material and the reluctance of
banks to make loans appear to be!
the two large flies in the ointment. I
A concise statement of the situa-;
tion as it appears to him is made'
for the Information and Education'
:
Service by Mr. William M. Carland,
of Los Angeles who now is in Wash
ington^ Mr. Carland is President of
the National Association of Real es
tate Boards and since Miarch 1918,
has been in Washington coordinat
ing the work of his association with
the efforts of various government de,
partments. Mr. Garland says;
“I am especially pleased that the
Secretary of Labor is taking an ac
tive interest in stimulating coopera
tive endeavor on the part of laboring
men, industrial associations and in
dustrial professions to bring about
a much needed resumption of build
ing activities.
“Many members ct the National As
sociation of Real Estate Boards specia
lize in 'building and selling houses and,
by reason of an acute housing situa
tion in many cities, were tfctively
encaged In building operations until
about a year ago when the Secretary
of the Treasury made a statement
that all building, not .necessary to
war activites, should cease.
“Since the armisitiee was signed, the
housinq demand has increased. There
is a desire on the part of real estate
men to resume operations but they
find every where a lack of funds for
building purposes.
“In my opinion, the resumption of
building is one of the most imoortant
things to be encouraged duing the re
ad iustment from a war to a peace
basis. It will be the means of employ
ing thousands of skilled artisans, take
care of the demand for homes, and
develop a spirit of real Americanism
throughout the United States.
. “In addition to home building there
are many industries which can now
meet their requirements only by in
rreasing their buildings. A large a
mount of muniripal and Government!
building i9 needed and has long been'
delayed.
"Realtors, meaning members of the
National Association of Real Estate
Poards, are anxious to do their share
toward a revival in building, believing
that conditions are favorable and that
delays are fraught with serious pos
siblities.
“If the Government will initiate this
movement, by starting the numerous
buildings throughout the country
which were stopped by reason of the
war it will have a marked influence
uoon municipal and private building,
with realtors, contractors, building
suppl yhouses, and hundreds of thou
sands of artisans immediately be
soming active by reason of the re
sumption of building, it will be possi
ale for all these citizens to subscribe
iberally to the Victory Liberty Loan
which is announced for the latter part
>f April. :
"Own Your Own Home’ is a popular
sentiment, it is distinctly an American
iropaganda. I believe that the en
souragement of home owning and
general building now will 9ive an im
iulse to a general business revival
sverywhere. The one result can be
io other than to establish happiness
sna contentment and these, after all,
sre the foundation stones of the Na
ion and the inspiration of loyalty to
:he Flag.”
