BUILDING TRADES
TO IMPROVE LOT
New Inducements Expected to
Work for Mutual Benefit of In
dustry and General Public.
-1. : I
Apprenticeship in the building trades
is to be made more attractive to young
men through a- plan being outlined by
a committee recently appointed by Ellis
F. Lawrence, president of the Associa
tion of . Building and 'Constrnotion. The
porposs of the movemeat has been ap
proved by the , IwnTdlns; tradss couaca.
by the bunding j construction contractors
and other groups in the Wilding indus
try. Work accomplished by - the com
mittee will be presented at aj meeting of
the association in the Arcadian grin
room of the Multnomah hotel at 6 :30
p. m. Friday.
The plan provides for careful selection
of apprentices and placing them in trades
to which they appear to be best adapted.
The apprenticeship is to be divided1 into
periods, and advancement W01 be reg
ular. ' ;
PBOFICtESCT GOAL
Each ' apprentice is to be given an
opportunity to acquire skill in; all
branches of his chosen trade,, but; will
not be hindered in his desire to become
especially proficient in some particular
branch. '. . - ' " -..
Unemployment for long seasons during
apprenticeship due : to seasonal work, is
to be eliminated so laras ppssiDie,. tnat
the apprentice fKtay be able to become
a ijourneyman;iin the shortest possible
time. Organising the system of appren
ticeship under the control of the workers
and the contractors, it is believed,! will
produce the number of - craftsmen re
quired and yet ( will not train :an army
of men who - will not be able to I find
emslovment. - The public 1 : to be the
beneficiary of : the . plan' byi ' reason of
the greater skill of training through: a
standardized apprenticeship, i i .
A phase of -the apprenticeships plan
being followed Jn Oregon, bn ;which has
