The market may be flat, but everywhere there are sign* of early business revival. And we're not going Into midwinter with a f0.000.00u stock pile like we did ester the anjistiee.

The faster the wheels go. the more coal they need. “The cloud In the Senate still hangs over the industry, but much able testimony has been placed before the La Follette committee during the last weeg.

INDUSTRY OF AMERICA FAILS IN BUILDING Housing Situation Calls for Organization and Construction in Large Way. CITIES MUST TAKE LEAD BT FREPEBICK 3. RASKIN. WASHINGTON, Feb. 5 —Great corporatlons in every city to build houses for us in groups of at least 300 and to retain the management and administration of those houses as long as they last. That is the solution of the housing problem which is proposed by John Ihlder, manager of civic development for the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. He offers it as his personal opinion as to what should be done. But about 100 of the local Chambers of Commerce have already fathered housing companies after this fashion, and the national chamber Is preparing to hold a series of conferences, with Mr. Ihlder as consulting specialist, to determine upon a national housing plan. So It may be safely guessed that the Chamber of Commerce of the United States will attempt to solYe the housing problem by applying big business organization and efficiency to it. The move is significant. It seems to be the first organized effort to solve the housing problem in this country. It may be taken as the effort of American capital to meet its responsibility in this regard. HOUSING PROBLEM WORLD-WIDE. The housing problem is world wide. In every country that engaged '.n the war, l ulldiug of dwellings practically ceased for two to four years. In England It was Immediately recognized that private capital was not competent to handle the problem. It was neither prepared nor willing to do anything adequate. Neither <ould the British workman pay the rents which must be paid if capital Is to get its interest and profit. Yet men and women were dying for lack of houses. The British government decided that 1t w-as necessary to save the British people even if British capitalism suffered something of a setback in the process. Therefore the British government proceeded to build houses. It did build and Is building them by the thousand. It Is renting them for less than they are worth. The measure is •* measure of state socialism of what is commonly dubbed paternalism in this country. It Is a body blow at private capital. It seems to have been the beginning of a general process of socialization in England. But It had to be done. Capital couldn't do the work, WAR BRINGS DEMO S ST RATION’.

The same thing was true in this country during the war. Dwellings for war workers simply had to be tad at once and at reasonable prices. So Government had to build them. But after the armistice the Government Housing Corporation was quickly put out of business. It first demonstrated that houses sot workmen can be made attractive and can be grouped into pretty villages, and that workmen appreciate such houses. This country does not fare so serious a post-war bousing problem as Great Britain. Vet it is more serious than you realize unless you ara hunting an apartment. We are about a million and a quarter short of the number of houses we need in order to house our population as well as we did before the war. This mea is that there are at least four million more people in the United States lban we have comfortable housing room for. That is bad enough. But the worst of it Is that nothing adequate is being don to remedy the situation. Capital has not met the emergency in this country. any more than it did in England. And Government has not even tried. The revulsion against Government ownerships, control and initiative, which followed the war, made that impossible. We have therefore preserved intact our beloved sysrent of private enterprise, but the said enterprise in the building trades has not made Itself conspicuous except in the unsavory ways recently revealed In the New York investigations. SITUATION GROWS WORSE. You think you seea good deal of bnildtng going on. Then consider these facts: For seven years before the war we built an average of 430.000 houses a year. In 1917 we built a good part of this number. In 191S we built hardly any. In 1919 we built about 70.000. And in 1920 the total promises to be less than In 1919. Consider that last sentence. The housing situation so far is not getting better. It is getting worse. We are not failing to make up he shortage in houses; we are failing to keep up with the normal In--1 crease in the population. The housing situation will almost certainly be worse i a year from now than it is today. Our ! bVlldlng industry has fallen down on J the job. Os course yon cannot blame tbe hulldI ing industry as a unit. Costs are high. People won't build because they feel that i if they wait a year or two they can I build much cheaper. Contractors who I build bouses to sell find it had to sell ! them. People cannot scrape up the ' money to make the Initial payment. And I the builder cannot afford to build | houses to rent. He cannot scrape up I enough money to keep himslf going on that basis. Tbe whole thing Is a fine Illustration of the way the industrial system does not work. There Is plenty of material. There Is plenty of Idle labor. There are several million people who need houses. Ana yet houses are not built. Those magical forces of supply and demand upon whlcn we so implicitly rely are simply not working. HOMES FOR WAGE EARNER NOT BUILT. Most of the houses you see going up are expensive houses. Most of them are

the houses of men who made a stake In the war, and are now spending some of it. They do not care if it does cost a few thousand more. The modest house of seven or eight rooms, for the man who works for a salary, Is being built tn very small numbers. And the five or sixroom house, the house for the wage earner, ts not being built at all. Furthermore, most of the houses being built for rent and for sale are being built of poor material. The woodwork and the hardware are of the cheapest kind. The construction, say men who know, is not of tbo kind calculated to last. In this situation, you see the importance of any move that the Chamber of Commerce may make. It Is up to somebody to make a move. From somewhere must come initiative and organization. So far as Lousiug is concerned, American Industry has fallen down. Let whoever claims the responsibility for it come forward and pick it up. If capital claims that it can serve the country * need for leadership, initiative and organisation lu its industrial life, this Is Its chance to prove the fact, to gain and hold the country's confidence. It Is with some realization, of this fact that the Chamber of Commerce sits down to frame a housing plan. Naturally, it secs the solution of the problem in blg-busine.-s organization. It points out that the building of houses Is one of those industries which haß to a great extent remained in the control of the "little fellow." Furthermore, the building or the house, the sale of it. and the administration of it, in case it is rented, have all develop-ed upon different Individuals or organizations. Responsibility is divided. ECONOMY IN LARGER Bl ILDINO OPERATIONS. Mr. Ihlder proposes In each town, of good size several large building corpora tions. These corporatlorts would buy j land In large tracts and build whole suburbs. They would seldom build less than 300 houses in a unit. That there would be great economy Jn such largescale operations can not be denied. Furthermore. Mr. Ihlder would have these corporations retain the administration of the houses permanently. The occupants would be shareholders in the corporation rather then purchasers, in this way all the economy and efficiency of largescale operation and large organization would be gained. These housing corporations could employ the beat architects. landscape gardeners and other specialists. They could make planned, artistic units of their suburbs, instead of hodgepodge growth. Such a system would have all the disadvantages of large corporation control, as well as Its advantages. The housing corporations In s given town would soon dominate the real estate situation. You would have to buy or rent from that housing corporation and at its prices. But corporation control Is the system by which we live. The large corporation at least does the work. This housing corporation would probably build the houses. Mr. Ihlder would not bav e any Government supervision or control of these housing corporations, but he would have them limited-dividend companies. He points out that the occupant of a house would further be protected against exploitation by the fact JAM ho Dd his fellow tenants would be stockholders in the corporation.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5,1921.

BENCH AND BAR PAY TRIBUTE TO A. J. BEVERIDGE Dinner Attended by More Than 350 Members of Law Profession. JUDICIARY PLEA MADE More than 350 representatives of the bench and bar of Indiana attended the dinner given by the Indiana State Bar Association, the Indianapolis Bar Association and the Lawyers’ Club in honor of Albert J. Beveridge in the Riley room at the Claypool Hotel last night. Frank C. Dailey, former United States district attorney, acted as toastmaster and Introduced the five speakers of the | evening, Henry M. Bates, dean of the I University of Michigan law school; | William Marshall Bullitt, Louisville. Ivy.; j George T. Buckingham, Chicago; Karl C. Schuyler. Denver, Colo., and Mr. Bevj eridge. In his address Mr. Beveridge made a strong plea for the Judicial branch of the government and said that It is the keystone of our American governmental system. BENCH APPROACHES SACRED POSITION. “While nothing merely human can be •aid to be sacred,” Mr. Beveridge said, "the bench most nearly approaches that .exalted station. Indeed one may say ithere Is such a thing as the sanctity of courts —the body which holds In its hands the people’s Justice and is charged with the safeguarding of our American Institutions.” Mr. Beveridge expressed doubt as to the stability and permanence of the British system of government with a parliament supreme lu all matters and with no Judicial body with power to question tbe validity of any laws enacted by parliament. . “The power of the hereditary ruling class which, Macaulay declared, for ages tad stood between ordered liberty and ravaging license Is rapidly diminishing and soon will be utterly destroyed m the domestic concerns of the United Kingdom. When that bappes. when the whim or caprice of excited or temporary majorities is Instantly registered by acts of parliament—what then will become of private property, individual rights and the rights of minorities? ENGLISH HOME PASSING. "England's hereditary ruling class still Is, and perhaps always will be, dominant In the foreign affairs of her far-flung and triumphant empire, but the home is swiftly passing, and when It 1 ceases to function locally British democracy will face Its first genuine crisis am, meet its first real test." Tne other speakers united in placing Beveridge's “Life of John Marshall" among one of tne great biographical works of the present generation. Guests seated at the speakers' table Included former Governor Samuel M Ralston, Judge Albert B. Anderson, L Ert Slack, former United States district attorney; Elmer E. Stevenson, Judge Solon U. Carter, Lart Whitcomb and George L. Denny.

MRS. FIFE STARS IM ‘THE MOLLUSC’ Little Theater Receives Play With Enthusiasm. “One who uses force to resist pressure.” That’s a terse definition of a mollusc, human or otherwise. Ahd In the three-act comedy "The Mollusc, ’> by Hubert Henry Davies, presented last night by the Little Theater cast In. the Masonic Temple, the audience was given a real presentation of the feminine form of human mollusc, in the character of Mrs. Baxter, who had to work hard to make other people do the things she should do and assume tbe responsibilities that were hers. The plot of the play is built around Mrs. Baxter, who as a result <>f her molluscoid tendencies, almost loses her husband's affections. _ She gets to tbe point when she even turns over her rather exerting companionship with her husband. chess playing, morning walks, etc., to til* charming capable governess, who waits on Mrs. Baxter's whims, hand and foot. The arrlvul of Brother Tom who knows his sister's mollusc disposition, brings complications and disruption in the household and, In the final scene. Mrs. Baxter discovers her husband turns to Miss Roberts, the governess for council Instead of to her and there am} then she throws off her “molluscUm” and we judge they lived happy ever after. Miss Roberts and Brother Tom, of course, are united after the series of misunderstandings and the curtain goes down, leaving the audience In a happy frame of mind. The cast of characters was excellent. There were but four actors, including Mrs. Eugene Fife, who took the part of Mrs. Baxter; Mrs. Margaret Bird, as Miss Roberts; Robert M. Brewer, as Tom Kemp, nnd 11. L. Earnest. Mrs. Fife made a very charming snd realistic “lady mollusc." Her actions were at all times without nffectedness and she read her lines with a natural air that was decidedly pleasing. Mrs. Bird, who has a youthful, sweet voice, gave a nice interpretation of the Puritan "consclenced" young governess, who has no idea that she Is “vamping' the husband and friend brother or that she Is the big factor In forming the useless, lanquld nature of Mrs. Baxter. Robert Brewer, as the breezy sceptical brother from Colorado, seems very much at ease as a player as also did Mr. Earnest, whose portrayal of the humbugged, soft-hearted, yet at times rebellious husband was moat skilfully given. An attractive combination of golds and blues made the stage setting unusually effective, and the frocks worn by Mrs. Bird and the dainty negligees of Mrs. Baxter were worthy of note, blending in artfully with the geueral color scheme. On the whole. “The Mollusc” was one of tbe best things that the Little Theater has produced this season and was most enthusiastically received by the large audience. On March 11, a big all-American bill will be presented by the Little Theater, xlth "Mary's Lamb,” by Hubert Osborn, as a curtain raiser, preceding "The Emperor Jones,” Eugene O'Neill's latest sensation.
