We do not feci that it would result in the hardships tn labor as generally supposed, as many of the most essential industries are run ning with greatly reduced forces, and wc believe labor would be diverted to more important uses. "As regards ths steel situation.

We personally think that everything should be done to discour age any stnic1-aiil work or unnecessary work at the present time. WORK IS SATISFACTORY NEW FEDERAL BUILDING WILL 1)K COMPLETED BY JULY 1.
