TOMOVE OFFICES

L G. Schroeder, who now conducts
a real estate office in the District
National Bank building, has leased
the ground floor location at present
occupied by the Home Savings Bank
at ia Fourteenth street, and will
move his Offices to the new location
about July 1.
Mr.. Schroeder's business some time
ago outgrew his present quarters,
necessitating the securing Of more
room. The Fourteenth street loca-
ton is ideal for a real estate office.
1t adjoins the Union Savings Bank
and is close to the recognized real
estate district
Extensive improvements are con-
templated in the new room by Mr..
Schroeder. When completed 1t will
be one of the best appointed realty
Offices in the city.
Beginning in February with no as
sistance Mr.. Schroeder's business has
grown until at present he has ap-
proximately ten statesmen and several
office clerks in his employ. He fea-
lures Chevy Chase property, but his
business is general in character, en-
bracing properties in all sections OF
the city.

BIG STRIDES MADE
BYENGLISHLABOR

LONDON, June 2S.-England's la
Dor crisis passed-for the present, al
least-with the adoption by the in
dustriaI congress Of the joint COM
mittee's report recommending an
etght-hour working day, a minimum
wage and a permanent industrial
council to settle wage disputes.
This, according to views in we'll
informed labor circles, is the signifi-
canoe Of what took place under q
cloud of tobacco smoke in the famous
Central Hall. Westminster, a few
hundred yards from the House OF
Parliament. In the conference sat
nearly 500 delegates representing
practically all the large employing
interests OF Great Britain and about
seven million workers.
While the labor situation may be
far from being completely adjusted.
it is generally accepted that imme-
date danger OF q national upheaval,
which seemed near the last lew
weeks, has been removed.
Labor, by arbitration, has won as
much and in many instances more
than it could have hoped to win by a
nationwide s--trikea strike which
cautious thinkers admitted might pro-
vide an opportunity for Bolshevsm.
Anr, having won, labor is now ready
to carry on" and give the govern
ment and capital a chance to put nro
execution the things they have prom
Used.
The burden Of proof has been shift
ed. A few weeks ago labor held the
center Of the picture and all England
was asking, "What will labor do?
viii it stop all industry by calling a
general striker" Now it is the gov
eminent and the employers who are
drawing the eyes and the question is.
How thoroughly the government will
carry through the program to which
it's arbiters have committed it.
In a few weeks English labor COW
cred an arc in the cycle of industrial
which even in the most
Of countries has hitherto
been completed only after years OF
intense labor struggles.
It is certain that the recommends
tons made unanimously by the joint
Of employees and employers
will, if completely carried out, repre-
sent a greater advance toward the
things unions have been fighting for
than has been possible in many dec
AIDES previous. In one lump English
labor has won more than it has gain
ed since it first organized.

NEW YORK PLANS
S7,5OO,OOO HOTEL

As a substantial indication OF the
rapid improvement now taking place
in the building situation, announce
ment is made in New York that a
new hotel is to be constructed there
at once which will represent a total
| investment Of $500. 900. This is the
! largest private building enterprise
! launched in New York since Americas
entry in the war, and il is looked upon
as the first of a number of colossal
building projects to be brought out
in the near future.
The new enterprise, which will be
called Hotel Linnard. marks the in
vasion of New York City by the D.
NJ Linnard organization, which has
Just opened the new 100000 Am
bassador Hotel at Atlantic City. and
operates the Fairmont and Palace in
San Francisco; Huntington. Maryland
and Green in Pasadena, Belvidere In
Santa Barbara; Alexandria and Cali
fornia, the latter Of which is now in
course Of construction, in Los Angeles.
S. w. Straus & Co, who have ar
ranged to underwrite an issue of first
mortgage 6 per cent bonds on the Ho-
tel Linnard have issued the follow
ing statement regarding the outlook
in the building industry:
threshold Of unusual building activi-
ties because all interests have found
that nothing is to be gained by hold
ing of. The Launching of the Hotel
Linnard is one of the straws that in
dictate current tendencies There is
much inquiry for capital both for
building purposes and for charging
and improving industrial plants and
equipment The country is so far be-
hind in building and the demand for
new structures is so much greater
than IL ever has been before in the
history Of the country that CORE
spondingly unprecedented activities
may be looked for"
There is a ring OF real American
ism in the statement OF d. NJ. Linnard |
conce rning the new hotel:
1T will not only be our ambition |
to make the Hotel Linnard the finest |
enterprise Of the krnd in the world" |
he declared. but it is to be purely |
American in every particular. The !
lines of business and industry, and |
there is no reason why we should not |
also Re in the lead in the matter OF |
hotel construction and operation. It |
Is a common mistake TO assume that |
4 hotel enterprise. to achieve real dis
tinction. must borrow features from |
Europe and conduct it's business sim
ply as an imitation OF European con-
,eptions. There is no reason why the /
United States should take second place |
10 any other nation in the world in |
any line OF business whatever"

BUYING OF HOMES

william A. MacRae, OF the Bank of
California, expressed his approval Of
the national "Own Your Own Home"
campaign during the real estate con-
Vention last week Mr.. MacRae said:

a palace, il equally shelters and en-
shrines the sacred love and devoted
affection Of all that is best and
worthiest in our common humanity.
Why should every married man own

First, to give his wife a chance to
make a home, which is the natural de-
sire of the normal woman, who, in the
cramped quarters Of the boarding
house or apartment, lacks sufficient
breathing space. Second, to supply

paternal love and devotion may have
ample room and the privacy 50 essen

From the national standpoint il is
most desirable that every citizen
should own his home. The proper

HOMECOMING IS PARAMOUNT DUTY
j. s. TO
BEGIN BUILDING

Although it is ten years since the
United States Government has ap-
proved the designs for new buildings
for the Departments of State, Justice
and Labor and Commerce, no steps
toward the erection of these build
ings have been taken yet. They were
planned to meet an urgent need in
the National Capital. The need for
them has increased greatly in the
interval.
The Government is asking private
builders to show their patriotism and
get busy and build. The delay which
has marked Government construc-
ton and the apathy which seems
still to surround Federal building
projects have aroused the suspicion
OF the contractor, the architect and
the public too.
They are asking what is the
reason? If 1t is too costly for the
Government to build, why should
private enterprise undertake that
which the Federal authorities deem
unwise to do at this time?
Official Washington Hanpered.
Official Washington is hampered
for want of space. During the war
quarters in every building and hotel
in the Capital City were comman-
deered for the use of Government de-
partments. The demand for space
is greater than before.
1t was pointed out yesterday that
the failure to build these buildings
at the outset has proved costly, es-
pecially in the last two years, and
this cost will continue until they
have been started and completed.
Nearly every we'll known architect
in the country entered the competi-
tions for these Government structures.
Three New Workers or New York
firms won the prizes. The Department
of Justice building design accepted
by the Government is the work of
Dom Barber, the Department Of
State building is that of Arnold W.
Drummer, and the Department Of Com
merce and Labor building design Is
by York & Sawyer.
The three buildings face the Capt.
toll grounds.
Keep Plans In Archives.
The plans for these buildings are
in the archives of the Treasury De-
partment. Their construction might
have been started several times, be-
cause omnibus appropriations pro-
vided for them II the heads of the
various departments wanted them
put up.
The George Washington Memorial
Building was designed by Tracy &
Swartwout. The Government will
bear half the cost of this building,
the other half to be provided by the
public. The building is to have an
auditorium that will hold 5000 per-
sons and the upper floors are divided
into reception rooms, each room to
be named after a State in the union.
The structure will be used for great
public gatherings.
