He said thit lie would be comperlleU to figure J13 a day. per ma.n. on account of tho i'-n-productivity of labor. McClay went on to say: "There ar men today that a.re worth 11.25 an hour but the trouble is that there a-r not enough of them. I d- nt think that cvt 20 per cent of the m-n would earn l."o an h .'jr. Cindit i--ns are ill right now that labor is pienv.iui in , when men get scarce I might hire ten ( men and not more tnan to o. tnese would earn their m nst.v'' 'The chairman: 1 esn't the unicn. as a mittr of fai.'.. to it that a m-an is a mechanic before lie is given a card?" Mr. M'-Claj 'No r;r. That is what 1 have contended. 'We will have tr' see that the unions give us a sliding sale and let us pay aes to the mm according to his ability to work." HARBU'GH TALKS KROM SHOll.DFR. Contraetor Harlbouph or Indiana Harbor made some interesting ebstrrations retarding the situation told of a jurisdiction;... cisputc oftween brick layers and cement wori.ei s which resulted in a big runipus .nd a loss of time and money. He said that there were a number of contractors in tr.e game wnen uc started but that he is now the cn'.y one left. He said that most of the others had failed in the.,- efforts to combat the la'orr situation- Some of them had run across the state line to escape their creditors. Mr. Harbough said further: "I taiKed with several of the boys who work ot theso building trades and the general st-ntiment seems to be that if the mechanics would work for a ddlar an hour and the common laborer for 60 cents to 65 cents an hour that the general public would come to the conclusion that things had lowered as mucli as they would and construction woui-a commence and everybody might bemployed. At the present time the great majority of the mechanics are walking the streets. They have allowed mechanics to go to work in th" mills at considerable less than vy- nave paid on the outside." niStlUMIVATF. IV F.1VOB OF Mil, IS Mr. Harbaugh "The bricklayers are working for 9? cents an hour in the mills." The Chairman "And they are wonting on union cards are they?" Mir. Harbaugh "Tea sir." The Chairman "With the knowledge of the unions?" Mr. Harbaugh -"Yes sir." The Chairman "Then there is a discrimination, Is there, between industrial construction and general construction?" Mr. Harbaug'h "Tes sir, thirty-five cents an hour. The carpenters are working in the mills for ST'i cnts an hour. The laborers are working for 56 cents an hour and they charge us 75 and 85 cents outside." "Mow If our men will come out and say to the general publi-c that they will work for $1."0 an hour arid the laborers would say 60 to 65 cents an hour I believe we -an a.11 be employed in ail or eight weeks." Mr. J. 7 1. MeClay had suggested a maximum and minimum scale as a cure for the evils of under-production. J. Wessley P.eeii.. a Hammond c.-n-traefor and architect, stated that he thought the real solution wa a minimum scale reprosentfng' the productivity of th" poorer men and let the contractor reward 1 lie belter men with !nor"-a-sea in pay according to their grrat"r productivity, Mr. Heed siat"d that be thought labor Is now subject to the laws of supply and demand just like els". any thing Th meeting terminated with broad invitation to any other employ er who might he present and r."t call ed upon to add to the testimony al ready received. There were no reponses.
