CONVENTION OF
REALTY BROKERS
National Association to Begin
Campaign on Various
Problems.

The National Association of Realty
Brokers, Inc, held its first annual con-
vention at the Hotel McAlpin yester-
day.
1t was announced that an active can
vass of real estate dealers in the West
and Middle West will be instituted
imme diately and committees appointed
TO deal with real estate problems such
as collections, rents, taxation, adyer-
Using. Arrangements will also be
made for cooperative legal service to
members.
The association was incorporated
last April, and has nearly two hundred
real estate brokers throughout New
York and the New England States on
its membership list
The plan of the organization is to
promote the mutual interest OF its
members and to better facilitate nego-
tiations in real estate. For this pur-
pose only one real estate dealer from
a county is admitted, and 1t is the
ultimate hope TO extend the organiZa-
ton throughout the entire West,
The establishment of New York
Office, through which members Of the
association can conduct negotiations
and make Investigations Of properties,
was one of the subjects discussed yes
terday, and temporary arrangements
have been made for the location of an
office and force in which out-of-town
dealers who are members of the associ-
alton may list their properties for sale.
This will be maintained at present at
40 West Thirty-fourth Street, in the
suite of the National Properties Com
pany. In the evening a dinner was
held at the hotel.

SUCCESS OF mop"
PLAN is DOUBTFUL
Deposits of Securities Said To
Be Too Small to Declare
Plan Operative.

There are strong indications that
the voluntary reorganization plan pre-
scented to the security holders of the
Missouri Pacific Railroad will not be
declared operative. Yesterday marked
the termination Of the period during
which deposits were asked for under
the plan. A special meeting Of the
board was held in the company's Of
fees at los Broadway, but 1t was an
nounced that an adjournment had been
taken until to-day. following which IA
statement may be made.
In cirles well informed regarding
Missouri Pacific affairs it was said
that the number Of deposits received
to date has been insufficient to war
rant putting the plan into effect. While
an extension of the deposit period
may be made at to-day's meeting of
the board, the belief is that eventually
the directors will say they have not
received the cooperation of the neces-
sary number of security holders to put
through voluntary reorganization.
The only alternative is receivership.
The reorganization proposed by the
board of directors. which had the ap-
prevail of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.. provides
for an assessment of $50 share on the
stock of the company and the exchange
OF existing securities for new issues.
This would raise SAL 1872 to pay
off the extended notes maturing next
June and leave 100000, 900 for working
capital and the payment of other ma
turtles.
If receivership is resorted to it is
understood that the assessment pro-
posed under the voluntary readiust-
ment plan will remain undisturbed.
