Two preceding; chapters of this1 article
dwelt mostly , upon tho tricks of the
building trade, wlth reference to the
substitution of Inferior, grades of build
ing materials with , the Idea of propor
tionately' Increasing, , the contractor's
profit. ' There are other tricks', of the
trade, however, that have jnore to do
wita mo. business end or the transac
tions between the contractor and home
builder. :f,:.-v;;,'-. v'
It is a common thing for a eontraotor
who is anxious to obtain a certain eon
tract to purposely put In a bid that he
knows could ' not possibly do the work"
right and which ; necessarily must t he
lower than Other eon tractors, and then,
before the contract Is signed or any
thing done that would , obligate upon
him, jokingly ask how much he had beaf
the other fellow. .'; '- :
-itJpon finding out how much the dif
ference was, he will feign surprise that
the difference should be so great and
state that he does not want to sign up
the contract before he has had a chance
to go over his own figures to see If
he has left out something. Of course
he then discovers that he has forgotten
to Include the excavation or painting or
some convenient item amounting to the
required sum,: and. then raised his bid
within a few dollars of the estimate
that was next to his,' in this way be
gets the Job, for the homebullder must
let the contract to him or pay a higher
price and let. the next fellow have it,
which he seldom -does. .
Only One Xemedy. .
The only remedy for this situation Is
not to disclose the bids until after the
oon tract Is let; but even in this ease
the low man usually will raise his bid
before the contract is signed and take
chances on it being under the other fel
low, for, naturally, he is not Withe
business to lose money. V .',..
A mistake often Is made. In writing
what- is known as , the ."penalty con
tract." reoulrin the contractor to pay
a certain amount for . every day. that

time ir.e nouse canicinsr ana currency
committee holds a meeting. Representa
tive Byrnes, of South Carolina, a Dem
ocrat pats himself on the back and con
gratulates himself that he is no longer
a member of that particular committee.
For several years Byrnes was a bank
ing committee senior, ranking well up
toward the top of the list and In line
prospectively for the chairmanship. Be
cause of the Democratio bickering and
Internal dissension on the committee.
Byrnes now says he is glad he retired
last Mastkki:te4:iH&, ftv 1 x--H.S
Why Byrnes gave up a senior posi
tion on the banking, committee, which
has charge of currency legislation, la an
open secret . The banking committee, is
one of. the most Important in the house.
at that Byrnes was interested In the
work, and served prominently as a mem
ber of the Pujo Monty Trust investiga
tion committee. But he is a lawyer, a
young-one, ambitious-and prominent In
his state. He .successfully defended
Beauty" Beach, charged with assault
ing Mrs.. Beach with a penknife. Mrs.
Beach was . formerly Mrs.. Havemeyer. J
While he figured that, be might, help
his personal, fortunes by remaining on
the banking committee during the pub
licity given currency legislation, Byrnes
believes the banking committee will be
"dead one." almost a political morgue.

The contractor then will suggest that
nothing'; be paid to him for any days
that he may oqme within that time, an
arrangement which, unknown to the
home .builderir invalidates that part of
the contract unless the home builder
can prove that his ectttal loss for every

interpret that It is worth As much to

probably few contracts that are not

owner changing gome part of the build

: If the eontraotor can prove that the
owner has altered thojocetion of a par

or any minor detail,. It then destroys
the' value of the penalty clause unless
each change is written up in the con
tract form that preserves the time limit
While ; placing i contractors: . under
