Complaints Of inability to hold la oorers
under these conditions soon began TO
pour into Washington from all points
and made evident the need of special
organization to handle labor questions.
This gave rise to the creation of the
special branch of the Army Ordnance
Department. known as the Industrial
Service Section, which was placed under
the direction OF Dean Herman Schneider
Of the University of Cincinnati. a widely
known economist and labor expert.
II was not long before Dean Schneider
realized that the housing problem re-
quired special handling and he began a
search for an expert qualified to take
charge OF this branch Of the work He
found his man in Ferry r MacNeille OF
the firm of Mann & MaCNeile. Mr.. Mac
Nellie was in Washington at the time in
charge OF the architectural and s,ruc-
tural section of the general engineer
depot which was purchasing material
and crcnting the designs for the build
inss and bridges required by the eXpe-
dictionary forces under Gen. Pershng.
Early in January. 1918. AIR. MacNeille
was officially placed in charge of the
housing branch of the Industrial Service
Section. All matters Of town planning.
architectural designing. engineering and
other technical activities were carried
out in the Office OF Mann Il MacNeills
under the direction Of the housing
branch and subject to the approval OF
the military authorities in charge OF ord
nance requirements and production.
Horace b. Mann was appointed design
ing expert for the housing branch,
The first activity necessary In Crap

OF the work was placed IN the hands ~

Activity N the sales of apartment
houses during the LAST two weeks has
been most exceptional and continues to
be. There Is corresponding activity in
alterations IN apartment houses to
bring old property up to new standards
The outlook for the construction of new
apartment houses is good. but tho date
OF beginning of operations rests upon
more encouragement in financial quar-
ters and also upon better understa nd =
ing OF the market for materials. 1t is
believed that prices are to decline.
but there is not any very reliable In
formation at hand as to the extent of
the decline or its period. one opinion
expressed IL that 1t IL too late in the
season to build new apartment houses.
The rcntlng period begins October first.
There IL not sufficient time to build and
have n new apartment ready Ivy Octo-
Der. Although the demand Is great At
least, this Is n view taken at the mo-
ment by many who do. however. look
