SHIPMENTS TIED UP.

Transportation. or the lack Of at, to
a considerable extent paralyEed busis
ness of all kinds last year. The most
have been removed or greatly mid-
gated. Railroads last year were blocked
by cars loaded with goods for export
which could not be unloaded because
there was no vessel accommodation for
the cargoes. This year the roads re-
fuse to accept goods destined for ex-
port until it is made manifest that
there is a waiting vessel to receive
them.
Normal exports are reduced to min
imum, SO the war traffic does not inn
pose an undue burden upon the car
riers says the American Contractor.
A coordination of the management
of the roads with the government here
heightens the efficiency of the service
to an almost unbelievable degree, all
the 693 roads of the country being op-
Grated as a single system.
train service thus achieved, three
principal considerations have been in
mind-frst, to develop storage facfli-
ties at points of production to avoid
congestion in manufacture; second, to
develop storage facilities for finished
goods near the point OF consumption
or of shipment abroad in order to mini
mize the need for railroad cars, and
third, in general to create conditions
under which railroad cars will not be
used for storage purposes.
The understanding between the gov
ernment and railroad employees makss

to be dreaded.
Much, however, remains to be done
before we shall have normal service.

The most important meeting Of the
Real Estate Brokers' Association since
it's reorganization was that Of the
executive committee and ohairmen OF
the various subcommittees yesterday
afternoon at a luncheon at the Ma
tional Press Club.
The most important development OF
the meeting was the selection OF
coming committee. It was explained
that former Engineer Commissioner
Kutz some time ago recommended to
Congress that tho city Of Washington
ought to be zoned. in regard to GER
tain restrictions as to business houses,
residential sections, apartments ana
small stores. The real estate brokers
were consulted in this matter by the
District Commissioners, and recently
the officers of the association decided
it was time to get busy and have
committee work on the matter and
make certain recommendations to the
Commissioners and Congress. In order
to make the law a practical one.
The meeting was presided over by
Charles w. Fairfax. president OF the
association. Mr.. Fairfax announced
the coming committee as follows: John

Housing Plans in the United King
dom," the subject of an article appear
ing in the current issue of the Monthly
Review of the Bureau OF Labor Sta
tistics. quotes the. consul as saying:
"One Of the most important questions
in Great Britain for several years past
and one which has assumed political
prominence in many electoral .carn-
paigns is that of the housing OF the
working classes. This subject Is now
being taken in hand by a departmental
ment 1t is admitted by the board that
100000 houses are now urgently want
ed. but other authorities estimate that
not less than 100000 houses are nee

"On the. question of finance govern
ment aid has been promised In the
meantime a grant of s97.330.000 has
been asked for-by some housing organ

TT fs recognized that overcrowding
has been one of the causes Of industrial
unrest. especially in districts where
war work is particularly heavy, and
that bad housing has led to high infan-

Industrial centers. In three Scottish
districts there is immediate need for
accommodation for 100000 workers

early date government approval will
have been granted to plans involving
the erection Of not less than haaf "a

years after the conclusion Of the war,

higher than in pre-war times financial

'~The great need at present Is for
small apartments, of which the supply

in meeting the demand for them II the
real l-estate men could induce the own
ers of houses now vacant to allow them
to- be rented by rooms or by suites of
rooms, and, If necessary, to put them
into shape to have this done. 1t was
suggested that list Of such vacant
houses be made in order that members
of your committee might take the sub
ject up with the owners.
"I have obtained from the police
and 1 forward herewith list of all
the dwelling houses vacant In the first

of November. / have asked the police

ther information in your own way.
"a particular reason why we are
glad to have the Real Estate Brokers

1t will enable them to discourage the
charging of high prices to people in
need of apartments or houses. Indi-
viduas instances on the part Of the

to- do this have recently come to the
knowledge of the District Council Of
