REAL ESTATE MEN
FEEL HIGH COSTS
Scarcity of Help Also Adds to
the Difficulties of Doing
Business.

The amazing increased cost OF things
IN general has not left the real estate
business untouched. by any means,
xrominent realty dealer declared to-
day. He added: In fact. it has been
Ienorted by some members of the Real
Estate Brokers' Association that theS
have noted an increase as high as oo
ser cent in the cost Of doing business
Tn addition to this. the matter OF
help is getting very serious The ousl-
ness is one that necessitates q great
deal of detail, and this naturally re-
oufres help to q marked degree. The
war situation has made 1t next to ini-
possible for a local organization to
have more than one stenographer'
whereas in former times two or three
were kept busy at all times" he SAID.
Give Clerks to Government.
There is an understood condition
among the members of the assocla-
ton that whenever Uncle Sam wants
q clerk in a real estate office the pro
prietor urges the clerk to Join the gov
ernment forces. Many of the members
have also had to stop their usual
pnrsuits to handle the local housing
problems, both for the government
clerks and the government as we'll.
To enlighten the members of the as
Bociation on the real situation, Charies
". Fairfax. president OF the organiIa-
tion. has appointed a committee to in
vestigate the present high cost of doing
husiness and report to the association
such remedies as Will meet the condi-
tons This committee Is composed OF
Morton ]. Luchs. chairman; Lee ltati-
mer. Randall Hagner. n. L Sansbury
and Clarence F. Donohoe. Chairman
Lichs reports that his committee has
had several meetings. and IS making
excellent progress and will make It's
nnal report at the next regular meet
ing of the association.
It is planned that committee work
will be the dominating factor and re
suit producer in the activities OF the
association and In this connection the
sentiment is growing rapidly that the
executive committee meet regularly
once a week and act as an advisory
committee to chairmen OF the various

committee as well as aid them In ac-
complishinE their work. II will like

Value Of Organization.
THE address of Commissioner w.
Of the association Wednesday night
was particularly impressive to the
members Of the organization. He an
alyzed the great value OF an associa-
tion to the Individual member. 1t was
pointed out by a prominent member of
the association that once the body Is
thoroughly organized it can render
great patriotic work to the government
iaAmany ways.
A luncheon committee is being organ
ICED with instructions to give Hoover
ised" luncheons at regular intervals and
revive the exchange of ideas" move
ment which was SO successful IN the
past At each luncheon 1t is proposed
also to have a member Of some govern
ment department. such as member of
the food or coal administration, a lib
erty loan man. a daddy to a soldier
man. to enlighten the members on the
work.
