|WOMAN'S REALTY
EXCHANGE SUCCESS
Second Year of Activity Is
Started-PIan Apart
ment Sales.

The Woman's Realty Exchange this
week swung into its second year of
existence, reporting a summary of
Its work last year to prove that wom-
en- make successful real estate oper-
ators.
Since the exchange opened it's
offices in the Davidson building last
September it has been trusted with
an increasing volume of sales, rental,
investment and insurance business, it
was announced. The exchange is
handled entirely by women, although
several statesmen of the male variety
are attached to the force.
Recently the Office and sales force
was increased by the addition of the
following: Arthur W. Day, Miss Elsie
e. King and Shelton Groves. Each
OF the new associates has been con-
nected with, successful real estate
firms in the District, it was stated.
Resume of Years Business.
A resume of the years business dis
closed that the exchange has sold OF
inquired in the sale of twelve apart
ment buildings, including the Trux-
ton, the Randolph. the Owasco, the
kalorama, the De Nova and the Nam
| semond: The last-named buildings
were sold during the past week.
Homes are to be the speciality of
| this firm during the ensuing year it
was asserted. A long list of houses
available for immediate occupancy is
displayed to clients seeking to pur-
| chase homes. 1t was pointed out that
as an exchange the firm has access to
lists of numerous leading real estate
men.
Investments were featured during
| the past year, 1t was said. Officials
stated that investment returns ar
| ranged by the firm are second to
none for offices of the same size.
Plan Apartment Sale.
The exchange 10 planning to insti-
tute within the next week what is
| described as a unique plan of selling
apartments on the cooperative basis
The innovation, details of which are
to be announced later. is expected to
| overcome certain objections usually
| raised by prospective purchasers Of
apartments against the cooperative
plan of buying. officials are confident
that their scheme will amply protect
the buyer.
The three women at the head of
the Woman's Realty Exchange are
said to be possessed Of unusual abil-
ity and ample means for insuring
the continued success of the project

Building trades are booming This
is the belief Of officials of more than
fifteen labor organizations connected
with building industries in the Dis
trict, who were canvassed today in a
general survey of employment con-
ditions in the CONSTITUTIONAL line.
From all sides came the reply:
"All of our men are at work. En-
ployment is regular" From many
organizations came the statement:
why, we can't get men enough to
do the work before U.S."
A safe estimate is that more than
$4,000 skilled laborers alone are at
work in various sections of the city.
Although officials declare that build
ing work here is not more than nor
NAL, there is being shown an in
creasingly rapid development on the
outskirts of the city, where houses
are going up almost overweek. in a
frenzied effort to relieve all traces
of home congestion.
Two Drawbacks.
Labor leaders state that there are
two drawbacks. One is the shortage
of certain materials in the building

freight congestion. The other is the
increasing "tightness" of capital to
finance projects.
In the carpenters organization, ac-
cording to reports. there are almost
5000 members, "alI at work" Much
of this work is being done in the
outskirts. where numerous frame
bungalows are under construction.

District in this line runs at an

from other cities. Work on several

the influx.

The agitation for week-work has
been felt now for several years among
the Ladies' Garment Workers. A few
years ago, the matter was under dis
cussion at a convention Of the Inter-
national Ladies' Garment Workers
Union, and it was then approved. The
rank and file Of the public received
the decision coldly. Evidently the
workers preferred the system Of piece
work. And so it continued until the
last season, when the Cloakmakers'
Union Of New York resolved once for
all to institute week-work. At that
time, the Union had to renew its
agreement with the Manufacturers
Association and therefore the time
was opportune for considering this
broader, more radical change in the
trade. Y5

The spirit of cooperation is spread
ing among the Jewish workers. For
some time now, here and there abe
Jewish worker has taken up the idea
of cooperation. In scattered instances
they have adopted this or that COOP
erative scheme. Not all Of these, how
ever, have been successful. Many of
them have collapsed immediately
still that fact has not served to weak
en- the underlying spirit, and the couI-
age of others, and gradually more and
more workers are being drawn into
the movement.
The Jewish workers have learned
that in order to be successful in their
business undertakings they must con-
duct their business in business-like
manner. They must establish it on a
sound basis.
This spirit is gradually, though
slowly growing in the towns of our
America. In many places, it starts
with the first necessity-bread. Per-
haps this is because bread is the staff
of life; at any rate, it seems quite
characteristic that the first co-opera-
tive undertakings in Jewish circles
were the bakeries.
So now we find cooperative bakeries
in Brownsville, Newark, New Britain,
Conn.,, Worcester, Mass, Lawrence,
Mass, and so on.
The Newark bakery has been in ex-
istence now for year. It is most pop
pular among the Jewish workers. 1t
consumes about 122 barrels of flour
a week. 1t appears to be making a
profit of about 100000 week recent
ly. Ten persons are employed there,
and the business is brisk and salts
factory. Soon it is expected to extend
the business and to open larger bak-
cry.
The New Britain Bakery has been
running for more than a year and a
half. 1t employs nine persons, and al
though the volume Of trade is not
great, it does a moderately good bust
ness.
The bakery at Worcester is in
thriving state. Sanitary conditions
have been insured by the erection Of
a specially planned building for the
purpose. The business here, too, is en-
tirely satisfactory.
The cooperative movement is
spreading to other directions also, but
Of that another time.

The employers were not favorably
disposed to the change, yet both sides
came to an understanding and the
system of week-work was established
in New York. This first experimental
season has passed, and the new sys-
tenn appears to be successful.
Now the Union is endeavoring to in
troduce the same system into the other
centres of the cloak and suit trade. A
campaign is being conducted in Phil
adelphia, Cleveland, Toledo, Cincinnati
and st. Louis.
From present indications, the move
ment toward week-work in the Mid
die West will be successful beyond a
doubt. Cincinnati and Toledo have al
ready agreed to the change in the sys-
tenn. The manufacturers have also
granted an increase in wages, and
Abraham Baroff, the General Secre-
tary of the International Ladies' Gar
ment Workers Union, announces that
Philadelphia will soon settle the ques-
ton also. So it is to be expected that
very shortly the system Of week-work
will have entirely superseded that Of
piece-work in the cloak and suit in
dustry.
This movement is especially import
ant in that it shows that the Jewish
worker is becoming more worker in
spirit and less business man. The pro-
duction of piece-work was in line with
the business spirit, while week-work
shows the workmen-spirit.

In the recent demands for an in
crease in the wages Of its workers
which Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers Union set before the employers,
the New York Manufacturers Associ-
alton was the first to agree to a set
Element. The matter was not so easily
adjusted in Chicago, where after
long series of negotiations arriving
nowhere, the question was turned over
to a Board Of Arbitration Of which
Professor Taft was chairman.
After long and careful elaboration,
the Arbitration Board has issued
statement which is significant not
alone for workers in the trade involv-
ed, but in all other trades as well. The
decision grants a considerable raise,
amounting in most cases to five or six
dollars a week, to the clothing work.
ers in Chicago. The provisions are as
follows:
"a raise Of twenty per cent shall be
given to the sections where the aver
age wage for a forty-four hour week
is thirty dollars or less, and five per
cent for those whose average earn
ings are fifty dollars week or more.
A raise Of six dollars week shall be
given to those who earn between thir-
ty and fifty dollars week. These in
creases shall be given to both piece
and week-workers."
Interesting, also, is the statement Of
Sydney Hillman, the president Of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Union, in which he expresses his salts
