WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1920 asm ; = = AREAL ESTATES cast ania wh == | PROPORTION AND PROSPERITY MISCELLANEOUS ON ACCOUNT OF GOING BAST WE WORK ON INDUSTRIAL PROGRAM UNDER WAY Senate to Probe Conditions and Present Recommendations-- Hoover First Witness. Washington--Work on a legislative program for industrial reconstruc- tion in which labor will receive greater recognition was started in congress early in July. It is stated that the senate committee on educa- tion and labor, of which Senator William S. Kenyon is chairman, will be ready to present a draft of com- prehensive recommendations to con- gress when it convenes in December. t is announced by the committee that Herbert Hoover will be the first witness in the hearings that will soon e in progress. Later Samuel Gom- Res and other labor representatives, William Howard Taft and Charles Schwab will be called by the com- mittee, A Natural Right The law enacted by the republican congress during the recent session authorizing the organization of farm- €rs In co-operative associations is not a special privilege, according to Representative Caleb R. Yayton of Delaware. "The farmer seeks only a natural right which every class of eople enjoy and employ every day. The manufacturer has his association in which he establishes the price of his products. The retailer every- where has the same co-operative as- sociation," states Mr. Layton. "The law establishes the right of the farmer to sell his product by collec- tive bargining. He is not content with a state of affairs in which the value of the productions of his labor are fixed bv other people." Bills Were Killed Of interest to every state in the Union as an important aid in good roads development was one of the several bills enacted by the repub- ican congress and killed by the ocket veto of President Wilson. he act would have authorized the transfer of 500 ten-ton trucks and 200 mobile machine shop units from the war department to the department of agriculture for road work. The machine shop units are fitted up to repair motor vehicles and 2,000 of them are in the hands of the war department. The war department also has 6,000 five and ten-ton trucks. Although authority was given in the postoffice appropriation bill approved February 28, 1919, for the distribution of any surplus equipment, and sup- plies for the use of the states in road building, Newton D. Baker, secre- tary of war, has showed himself far from sympathetic with regard to the transfer. As Mrs. Barker is hedging on specific authority to do so, a sim- ilar bill will probably be presented to the president by congress in Decem- ber. This distribution of this surplus of equipment among the states will be determined by population, area and road mileage. Laborer Is Wecrthy "Living conditions apply just as much to the public employe as the private employe," Representative Er- nest R. Ackerman of New Jersey said recently. "The latter class have presented their cases to their em- ployers and have been granted relief necessary to enable them to continue supplying the necessities and com- forts of life. The law increasing the salaries of postal employes partially provides what other classes of work- ers were previously granted by their employers. In my opinion it is not all that should be paid them. The cash receipts of the postoffice denart- ment for the year 1919 were $532.- 239,126.20. An enormous increase in actual pieces of mail delivered to the people who pay the bill was also ap- parent. If T know the heart of the American people, IT do mot believe that any of them will object to pay- ing for extra service." DAVID HOME SOLD The residence of S. S. David at 1116 Elmwood avenue has been sold to Benjamin N. Cox. M. E. Barker and company negotiated the deal. OKLAHOMA INDIAN LANDS WITH U. S.

SPRINGFIELD BUILDING JUMPS FIFTY PER CENT: MORE HOMES NEEDED Springfield, TlIl.--Although building jumped over fifty per cent in Spring- field the first year after the war than during the year before the war the city still needs between 500 and 1,000 new homes to take care of its in- creased population. Inquiry at the chamber of com- merce disclose a big shortage of homes here. The chamber is engag- ed in a "housing survey" and cam- pangn to erect reasonable priced homes on easier terms. The estimate the number of new residences re- quired at between 500 and 1,000. Figures at the city building in- spector's office show there were 374 building permits issued during 1914. In 1919 the figure leaped to 774 and still there are families without loca- tions in Springfield. Such a thing as a "house shortage" in 1914 was unknown, city officials declare, who add that at that time houses were plentiful in Springfield. SELL EVANSTON RESIDENCE Bernard F.
