Committee Representing
Realty Investors
OUTLOOK PROMISING
Confidence to Be Restored
in the Stability of
Conditions

President p H. Mccarthy and Sec
retary o. A. Tveitmoe OF the building
trades council met yesterday morning
with a subcommittee consisting of j.
D. McGilvray, jeremiah Mahony AMI
James A. Wilson of the builders ex
change and George d. Toy of the Sal
Francisco real estate board. TO discuss
ways and means of establishing conf
dence among owners and investors IN
the building industries and stability
in the labor market.
According to Secretary Wilson. the
meeting was harmonious and both Me-
Carthy and Tveitnoe showed the same
spirit of conciliatory fairness that has
characterized the other lines of inter-
ests involved in the reconstruction of
San Francisco.
This completes our preliminary
work" said Wilson, $50 far as gather
ing data is concerned. We have con-
ferred now with the bankers, owners,
investors, architects. material men and
labor leaders. All agree that the pres
ent abnormal conditions must be made
normal, and all have assured us that
they will do their part toward bringing
about serenity again.
THE joint committee from the build
ers' exchange and the real estate board
will probably meet every day from
now until next Tuesday to arrange the
data which we have accumulated and
get it into condition for presentation at
the meeting of the builders exchange
which will be held next Tuesday morn
ing at headquarters, 226 Oak street.
Until then our work will not be made
public, but the meeting will be an open
one. We want the public to feel j
partnership in our work, which is done
no more for ourselves, the contractors
and builders, than for the city gener-
ally. l will say this much, however.
for the work thus far accomplished:
Everything looks favorable for a long
term of peace between capital
and labor in the building lines
