HOUSE DEMAND GROWS
THOUSANDS OF MEN TO BE ADDED
TO LOCAL PAYROLLS.
pwers hav been received, th serious,
ness of the situation 1 apparent. Forty
employers, representing 8000 -employes,
report that within the next few months
they will employ 3400 morj men, of
which 2800 will need houses. If other
reports bear out this proportion, th
shortage of houses will run into th
tens of thousands within the nsxt 13
months.
Answers from the Northwest Steel
Company. Albina Engin & Machine
Works. Supple-Ballin Company, Penin
sula Shipbuilding Company, Grant
Smith-Porter Company. Standifer
Clarkson Company and many other
large employers of labor have cot been
received yet.
The survey by the architects' com
mittee also showed a serious lack of
transoortation that Is hampering the
ship plants and other industries in
their Government work.
A labor turnover of 2000 per cent is
Indicated In the questionnaire answers.
It requires the employment of 20 men
to keep on on the payroll, according
to 40 employers. Probability of labor
upheavals and serious loss of effi
ciency in the work are among results
of this excessive turnover.
Employment by the city of a housing
expert or efficiency engineer In meet
ing these industrial problems is to be
urged by the architects at a meeting
with the City Commissioners at 11
o'clock next Wednesday morning. The

Diamond prices will surely be higher when the effect
of the new export duties and U. S. taxes are added.
For many years the market of diamonds has shown
a constant and definite upward tendency, due to
conditions of supply and demand. Authorities ex
press the opinion that no element can intervene to check the upward
tendency of prices, for while diamonds are becoming scarcer, the
demand is growing greater and greater.
