Do j ou want to make a statement? Mr. Harle: I haven't got much of a statement to make. Mr. Chairman. Our agreement with the employers go.s through again this year the same an last year. They have the same right as all the rest, give the.m the right to hire and fire who they please. We don't make any distinction. There Is no kick, so far as I know, about the wages. Our wages are low enough Mr. Walls: Mr. Chairman. Speaking f'f the plasterers Wo haven't really been brought into tlits argument, so far as I caai fsoe, that in the plasterers. don't believe there is any kick on our producing the goods. Our bosses are , pretty well satisfied and also the public ! We get a dollar and a quarter an hour. i The other crafts har e reached us.

T believe every one is satisfied, as far as I can say; there is not going to be ntiy demand and we hope to have no cut. Mr. Chairman: Now. we nre trying t arrive at the facts of the situation, gen tlemen. The fact bas bi-en brought out in one or first suasions that millions of dollars of construction is being held up in this region. I think that that Is verv 1-n.sllv demonstrated. Now wheth er It Is the employer of the empluyee or the real estate man or the business mn In the community, we are all vitally interested in seeing business go ahead. Some way or other we have either got to correct the conditions, that are bad. if they are bad, or we have got to convince the public that they are not bad, because the public Is refusing to go ahead. It is refusing to do anything along this building line. Now. in order to get at mcnts here. If there are any of the the situation tbese men have made r.tatecontractors or If there is anybody wit has testified at previous meetings who would like to asli questions so that they may be answered here tonight, why let us hear from them, but let us be just as brief as possible. Mr. Croak: OouM I ask Mr. Orange;a question? Mr. Chairman: Tes. sir Mr. Croak: I wam to ak Mr Granger through the committee here if it is not a fact that all contractors belonging to the association have to pay into the association one-half of one per cent, of all work they do that year?
