Real estate statesmen
TO ASK FOR MEMBERSHIP
Vote Unanimously for Afilia-
ton With Local Exchange
as Junior Members.

At meeting of the real estate
statesmen ot the city yesterday after
noon on the floor of the Real lis
tate Exchange. il was decided by a
unanimous vote that the statesmen
would petition the exchange for ad-
mission as Junior members.
Resolutions We're drafted and APP
proved. They set forth that. as MEM
bers of the exchange, statesmen
would be better schooicd in the
ethics of proper dealing IN their pro-
fc3sion. wo,:ld become better ac-
quninted with each other and mem
bers OF the exchange and would de-
Helop more thoroughly by reason
of responsibility OF membership.
The resolutions further set forth
that the statesmen were actuated
wholly by unscihsh motives and that
they did not wish to organize in
order to try To dictate to tho ex-
change as an organized force. II
was made clear that IL was their
idea to seek admission as an unor-
Eanized force and work as IL closely
cooperative force inside the cx-
change.
The Real Estate Exchange will be
requested by the statesmen to appoint
committee To work out further
details of the consolidation in case
the exchange looks with favor on
the admission of the junior mem
bcrs.
