A prominent real estate operator con-
versant with the plans of the railroad
stated yesterday that all that apparently
stands in the way of going ahead with
the project Is the unstable conditions
surrounding the labor question both on
the railroad and In the building trades.
The Pennsylvania officials, 1t Is said,
are impressed with the enormous de-
