Oalcland Wholerale Firm Distributes Insulation Products

Wholesale Building Supply, Inc., Oakland, is now distributor Lor Zonolite home insulation, and for Feltrock nodulated mineral wool for home insulation.

Arlie Charter, manag'er of this concern, is enthusiastic on the subject of retail lumber dealers selling insulation. He says: "'With these materials the homeowner can pick up what he needs at the lumber yard, take it home and do his own insulation at a moderate cost. Many lumber dealers get a lot of satisfaction out of the idea of selling comfort to the homeowner. Ceiling insulation alone reduces the summer temperature considerably, and it saves heat loss in the winter, and incidentally pays back in time the original cost."

Governmcnt Punisheg Efficient Building Contiactor \(/ho Reduced Home Priceg

(From the Wall Street Journal)

Morris Bluestone is a contractor in Ohio. He built a group of small houses to sell for $5,850 each. The official ceiling on houses of that type is $7,250. As a result of the transaction Mr. Bluestone was hailed before a Government agency and penalized on the ground that rvhat he did was inflationary.

- Mr. Bluestone paid building trdde workers wages higher than the established scale. He said that by offering such wages he got only top men and that the extra work of which they were capable reduced his total labor costs. He said that a $1.50 an hour carpenter might hang only two doors in a day but a $2 carpenter could hang sufficient doors to make unit costs much lower.

Mr. Bluestone was brought before a wage adjustment board and the majority opinion of that body said that what he did "could lead only to spiral bidding for the limited labor force available." His conduct was "directly inflationary." The penalty decreed was the loss of $15,000 income tax deductions.

The labor members of'the board disagreed only as to the penalty, commenting that "it cannot be said that unstabilizing or inflationary conditions exists when the public is able to buy a home below the market value.

This builder increased production through a system of incentives. Under a regime of governr4ent control such a practice can be penalized. This is not thefirst case in which the question has arisen, for during the war Jhe Treasury in viewing the incentive system of the Lincoln Electric Co., made some similar rulings about the wages of labor.

There may be other cases which better illustrate that phrase about the "dead hand of government." But this one is sufficient.
