Chicago, Sept. S0-Sirong indica-

Washington, ID. c.. Sept. 3O-Jose-

ASSOCIATED PRESS MAKES
ECONOMIC SURVEY
CA. N. p. Service)

Chicago, Sept. 30-A Careful sur
yey or economic conditions in the
United States, as they affect the Col
ored people. has just been completed
by the Associated Negro Press. The
survey covers every section of the
United States. and has been made
with the object of being of practical
service to the people.
The demand for labor is easing up
in the larger centers of the North
and East, except in the steel mills
and one or two automobile sections.
Where here is demand for labor,
the housing situation remains AS
bad. if not worse than heretofore.
The rent profiteer is getting in his
most telling licks at this time. He
is working without fear or con-
science, because tis known that the
people have few places to turn, if
they refuse to pay his increased
prices. Organizations have been
formed in a number of cities with
the avowed object of getting att
the rent hog but except In New YORK
State, there has been little lgislation
to back up the efforts.
Real estate investments are going
on, and yet there is strong tenden
cy to precaution, bcause of the be
lief in an early drop in prevailing
prices which have advanced in some
Instances as high as fifty percen
over prices Of 1916.
1t is found that in many Locations
terms for investment are almost pro
hibitive. The prospective purchase

pelled to buy at the high price, ant
later wages and salaries drop, h
will be in q dangerous position, 70
