1VASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-—-The
cost of labor in production of one
ton of anthracite increased from
$1.62 in 1915 to 33.73 in the first
quarter of 1928. the United States
coal commission announced“ today in
a report giving the result of its ex-
haustive study into production
costs in the hard coal industry.
The report called attention. how-
ever. that ‘whlle labor costs formed
61.6 per cent of the sales realization
price in 1913 they had drOpped to
59.5 per cent in 1923.
Based upon sworn reports from
140 producers. representing 98 per
cent of the total output. the com-
mission's study considered in great
detail every phase of the financial
side of anthracite productiOn.
Separate analyses were made of
operators classed as railroad com-
panies. larger independents and
small independents. u. final compar-
ison being made of the returns from
13 companies who supplied compre-
hensive reports for the January-
March period of 1923.
In the case of ten railroad com-
panics. the commission found the
labor cxpcnso factor to be 33.92 for
the first quarter of this year. com—

D. (’. The purposo of this chapter
in what will ultimately be the first
authoritative book ever published in
Amcrica on the general subject. .is
to give architects. builders. contrac-
tors and home owners the latest
lessons of experience and science
in building small houses that will be
sanitary. fire-resistive and
economical.
"it is a common sight." says the
"in residential sections of
our city. to see unsightly rows of
houses which are built by the mile
and sold by the foot.’ whereas at
no more cost thcy might be varied
and uttrn1ti\'.c
The essentials of good arclilteCr
1111-0 are prcacntcd briefly. with
suitable illustrations. Space is giv-
in to discussion of the exterior ma-
lcrlai of the house. such as clap-
boards. shiplnp and flat boards. and
stucco on metal lath. The impor-
tance of using thoroughly scasoncd
lumber is emphasized and the dif-
ferent npccics of wood suitable for
small house building are discussed.
Instructions are given as to the use
of aiding in its various forms. and
also of sheathing and atudding. fire
stopping and roof coverings. The
correct construction of porchea and
outside details. interior finish. floors.
doors. trim. windows built- in furni-
ture. etc. .. are all duly covered.
A special feature of the pamphlet
is a page devoted to a catalog of
sources of reliable building plan ser-
vice. This gives the names and ad-
thc regional associa-
tions of retail lumber dealers. and
the addrsscs of the American Face
Brick Associatibn. the Common
Brick Manufacturers' Association.
the. humble Concrete House Corpo-
ration. the Portland Cement Asso-
ciation. and the Indiana Limestone
Association. It also includes a. list
of lumber trade Journals. both

other periodicals helpful in home
building. Special attention is called
to the Architects Small House Bu-
reau of the United States. with
headquarters in Minneapolis.
1n the four thuosand words of
this pamphlet any one interested in
small house building will find all of
the fundamental information neces-
sary preparatory to the erection of
a beautiful. convenient. conomical
and delightful home. The distribu-

for general expenses instead of
$1.07. thc‘total cost of production
being 36.32 against 36.20. \Vith an
average mica price of '37.57 this
year. the independents received a
margin of 31.25 against $1.16 in
the fourth quarter of 1922
"This margin cannocbc consider-
ed not return in the operator." the
report said. "it is practically
equivalent to net operating income

federal taxes at x x It is not a good
measure for trying to arrive at rel-
ativo profits of different opera-
lions."
\Vith special regard to indicatcd
increase in labor costs. the report
said:
"Two important facts should be
kept in mind. Only 11 part of the
increase is due. to incrcnacd wage
scales. a part being attributable to
the grcater amount of labor neces-
sary in later ycara to produce a ton
of coal. due to physical changes In
the mines. etc. Another consider-
ation which applies to labor cools
as well as other casts and to sales
realization is that the purchasing
power of the dollar was much
greater in 1913 than in 1923.
"The labor cost each successive
year has either equa‘llcd or exceed—
ed the previous year except that.
following the strike year. 1922. the
labor cost for January-March.
was lower."
Average cost of supplies was
given as 35 cents per ton in 1913.
when it was 13.3 per cent of the
realized price. and 7:: cents per ton
in 1923 when it formed 10.7 prr
(ent of receipts. Similarlym “general

creased from 33 to 92 cents per
ton in 10 years. but to have de-
creaaed from 12.5 to 11.5 whey lig-
