CHICAGO 



A ledei-al investigation of the enth'o huikiing industry in I'liicaso is 

 threatened by the district attorney, following the Indietment of forty-seven 

 mill men, union labor officials and' contractors, on charges of violating the 

 anti-trust section of the Sherman law. The indictments were returned 

 before the United States District Court. 



In its report covering the indictments the grand jury characterized 

 building conditions in Chicago as deplorable and recommended a searching 

 investigation of the whole building trades industry. 



The action is grounded upon an agreement entered into by the mill men, 

 carpenter ef)ntractors' associations and members of the building trades 

 in 1918. This provides that only union made materials be used on jobs 

 done by union labor.

Probably the most interesting development since the first of the year 

 has been the announcement of the Guardian Savings and Trust Company 

 that it is now in a position to apportion in .$5,000 loans, approximately 

 ■SI. 000. 000 for small house building purposes, this fund having been 

 acquired through arrangement with the Metropolitan Life Insurance 

 Company. 



According to H. C. Robinson, vice president, the Guardian, this project 

 has been contemplated for several months. The bank, like other financial 

 institutions here, is not in a position to loan funds directly on new con- 

 struction. This money will be available, however, where housing already 

 completed, may be taken as a security, and the new funds used, to con- 

 tinue the work of additional house building.
