I might say to ti eSenator that in this country ii normal tiiie . we construct each year about $3.000.000.000 wdrth of houses. I think itis the second or third 1.irgest industry in the United States. I noticed iii this mornings newspapers a statement made before the Committee onl Immigration of the House that we were 40 per cent short of building lalor in New York City. and those men urged that we pass no more restrictive ititutigation laws at this time. Tit is t subject the committee night illquire into. nid Itlie whole matter considered in its bearing ol these quest Ions. I repeat tlhiit I iiim only interested il this subject from a coilstructive standpoint.
