REAL ESTATE DEALERS
CONVENE in ST. LOUIS
Philadelphia Delegates Hear
Governor Gardner Plead
for Mortgage Tax

St. Louis. Mo-, June 1S.-A delegation
Of seven members of the Philadelphia
Real Estate Board has arrived in st.
Louis to attend the eleventh an
nual convention of the National Asso-
citation Of Real Estate Boards, which
will convene here for four days. r. s,
Nash and William II. Wilson. spokes-
men for the delegation, said that several
more delegates are expected from that
city.
Governor Gardner, of Missouri. well
coined the 1000 delegates on behalf of
the. State. He declared that 1t is his
intention to have established in Mis-
rouri loyalty law, which will pro-
hibit teaching of foreign languages of
all kinds throughout the State.
He asked support for tie proposed
mortgage tax bill which will be placed
before the State Legislature at the next
session His statement that the gen.
eral property tax has become out of
date was heartily applauded.
Referring to the war he said:
Every man in Missouri will do his
duty. i serve warning here that any
community in which any organized
movement against the Government is
evident will be placed under martial
law"
In the annual report of the presi-
dent William NJ. Garland. 1t was ad-
vised that the delegates take up the
matter of a proper license law In the
different States. MIR. Garland stated
that proper license law is a short cut
to establishing clean, upright methods
of business
1T would be a great boon to realtors
all over the country to start a united
national campaign for building homes"
he said. This work was started. but
was stopped by war edict, discourae-
ing building of all sorts.
Several universities now offer coursas
IN real estate. and 1t is for you to see
that ADEQUATE text books are published
and the task OF promoting educational
work does not cease. In this way you

SHIP OFFICERS GET
INCREASE IN WAGES
Shipping Board Announces
Scale for Atlantic and
Gulf Ports
Washington, June IS.


The United States Shipping Board
licensed officers of vessels operating
from Atlantic and Gulf ports in the
coastwise and overseas trade.
The increases are effective and will
be paid retroactively from May last,
and exceptions in application OF the new
scale are made only in the cases Of
ships operated by the navy and the
railroad administration and small craft
plying exclusively in harbors, bays and
rivers. The railroad administration will
determine the scale to be put in force
aboard coastwise vessels under it's con-
troll.
The 25 per cent bonus for officers en-
gagged in the coastwise, West Indian and
Central American trade and the so per
cent bonus allowed to transatlantic
service are retained, the shipping board
holding that existing conditions make
any radical change in this phase of the
wage situation unwise.
The new scale resulted from. recon-
mendations submitted to the national
marine conference which ended here May
last, and is based upon an exhaustive
study of conditions covering the in
creased cost of living, corresponding
wages ashore, Pacific coast wages and
the Importance of holding officers now
in the merchant marine and attracting
men with knowledge of the sea.
1t was found necessary under existing
conditions to provide class for the
smallest boats. so that they will not be
forced to suspend operations by having
to pay wages equal to those paid aboard
larger vessels. In the new classification
substantially uniform percentage of
increase in power tonnage is maintained
between one class and the next.
The New Wage Scale
The monthly wage scale for licensed
officers of the deck and engine depart
ments follows:
A r d f. F
