convention during the next few days
it a number of resolutions Introduced
on the subject nrc nny Indication.
Several o the resolutions were snlrt
by delegates to deal with the proposal
that light wines nnd beers be retained,
find one provides that the entire con
vention shall ko to Washington b
Kpeclnl train Saturday to participate in
the gTeat labor demonstration It is
planned to hold In front of the capitol.
Sponsors of the resolution mHltif for
a demonstration nt Washington planned
to make an effort to give it early con
sideration so that the delegates might
make their plans for the journev to the
capital.
Resolution to Oust Hurlcvin
Another resolution under consider
ation Is one renuesting President WiKon
v to remove Postmaster (Jeneral Hiirlrvm.
This was introduced by 11. .1. (iniiirr. nf
the National Association of Letter Car
riers; T. F. Flnhertj. of the National
Federation of Federal Employes, and
K. J Ryan, of the Railway Mail As
sociation. Tho resolution begins bv quoting
President Wilson's rci-cnt message in
which he snid :
"The question which stands nt the
front of nil others in every country
amidst the great awakening is the ques
tion of labor. The object of nil re
form in this essential matter must be
generous democratization of iudutn
bas-cd upon n full recognition of those
who work, in whatever rank, to linrtiri
patc in some organic wnv in eery de
rision whlrli directly affects their wel
fare or the part they play in industry."
The resolution then goes on to say
that Postmaster General Iliirles.m has
"pursued n labor policy in direct con
flict with this enunciation of these
principles, nnd in nnswe- to President
Gompers, of the American Federation
of- Labor, has characterized as 'sillj'
trie right of collective bargaining "
"Ruthlessly Invaded Rights"
The postmuster general is charged
In the resolution with having "ruth
lwsly invaded the rights of emplo.xes"
and with having "interfered in delinnre
of law with proper functioning of their
organizations nnd has not only refused
to recognize the accredited representa
tives, but has also sought to have re
vpealed the employes' constitutional right
, of direct petition to Congress."
"This labor policy a policy which
has been fastened upon every govern
mental ngency under Hurleson's super
vision is in utter defiance of the wishes
Ipj'';s-r):Jf the people," the resolution declares,
EL "and is in complete opposition to the
expressed views of President ilson.
Hurleson's archaic and autocratic atti
tude has resulted In demoralized service,
discontented nnd resentful employes,
confused and choked industrial proc-
i'iy esses, a people wrathful nnd indignant
ISf and n long series of administrative
blunders."
The resolution proposes that the
federation, "representing 4,000.000 or
ganized wage-earners, nnd firm in the
belief that this protest tetlects the
tsentlments of the vast majority of the
American people." requests the Presi
dent to remoe Mr. llurleson
Among many other resolutions which
probably will be reported out of the
connnlttee nt the sessions tomorrow are
several which, it is understood, deal
with proposals for the nationalization
of various industries.

Wiclener Building Manager Tells Twenty Sections of American I
Convention That Returns Are
Cut to TWO Per Cent
PREDICTS RECOVERY SOONlDISCUSS
There are few office buildings in tne,
cast today bringing i man per
cut return, as compared t" 1 per cent
befoie the war.
This statement was made today by i
11. M. Matthews, manager of Ihe Wide
net P.uildiug. one of the speakers at
the National Association ol P.uilcliug
) nets nnd Managers' convention being
he'd at the Ilellevue Stratford.
'Itents during the war." he ex

diil not incrensc in i "
... t;.i i
witli Ihe cost of operation, hence the
decrease in returns. Itut otlh e rents
me rising some now and it is possible
the owners will regain the old per-
entage "
William Marshall Flli. of Chicago,
picsident of the association, suggested
that investors be ndvised not to build
unless they were certain of returns, as
"gambling in the building game was,
discouraging to the average investor.
It was also suggested that the own
ers and managers co-operate with the
architects during the erection of build
ings. This, in the opinion of E. M.
Matthews, would deciease the necessity
of tearing out partitions and making
other changes after tho building was
complete.

STATE LIS URGED
Pennsylvania Health Depart
ment Official Would Guard
Against Makeshift Houses
ADDRESSES CITY PLANNERS
Necessity of a state housing law to
regulate the building of homes in Penn
sylvania in the future was urged by
Itilm Molltor. chief of the bureau of
housing of the State Department of
Health, at the1 closing meeting of the
State Housing and City Planning As
sociation yesterday nt the City Club.
He said the high price of building ma
terials would probably cause a great
temptation to cheapen the construc
tion of homes in the future. M,auy
necessary things might be slighted, he
snid, and the need of regulation would bo
urgent. Without regulation, he said,
many new homes may be extremely un
healthful to live in. Tn conclusion, he
added :
"If ever there was n time in the
world's history when we need construc
tive housing laws, it is now. The eco
nomic war we are now facing will have
to be fought with new, up-to-date
weapons of construction, just as the
. , , , , , ,
war J'"" "j.''0!1 " f?u"ht "Hh modern
wenpons of destruction. Comfortable,
healthy homes for workers will 'e the
truest economy."
A resolution urging tlint the housing
bill now in committee nt Harrisburg bn '
speed!! brought into the Senate for
pa'suge was adopted during the session
Chester E. Albright, chief of the
Philadelphia Rurcaii of Surveys, nnd ,
member of the zoning commission, nud
William N. McNair, of Pittsburgh,
were the principal speakers at the
morning session.
Discussing taxation. Chief Albright
said that the wealthy citizens of Phila
delphia who hold big estates in the
unburns pay only a small fraction of
their just city taxes, while the poor man
bears the brunt of tnxntion.
"The major portion of Germantown,"
he suid, "is owned by three private
estates. The greatpr parts of these
estates arc undeveloped. Meanwhile,
hundreds of owners of smnll homes,
who occupy in actual laud n much
smaller territory, bear the greater part
of the burden of taxation. The equit
able plun would be to tax the large and
wealthy owneis of estates for tho laud
they hold and fail to develop."
The graded tux law in operation in
Pittsburgh, by which vacant lots are
taxed more than houses, was explained
by Mr. McNair. A vacant lot, he said,
is of no value to the community, there
fore they are tiiNed heavily in order to
encourage building.
