-.i /! RABS0N SAYS
Urban REAL ESTATE Is
BEST BUY FOR THE INVESTOR

ent because there is more than
economies and arithmtic in the mat
ter of building home. Yet IT is
doubtful that anything like the rate
of the last two years can be nain-
tanned on higher priced residences.
The speculative builders who have
come into this field expecting TO
get from $50 to 500 Il month for
houses that have brought $40 to
$50 a month under fairly normal
conditions are likely to be disap-
pointed if not financially cmbar-
rased.
''In analyzing these figures on
home building continues Mr.. Bah
son. II find that IS per cent of
the houses built since the war have
cost over 5000, that is, 70 per
cent of the houses built have been
available to only about 10 per cent
of the people Nothing to speak of
has been done to relieve congestion
and provide fit housings for those
who cannot pav $50 to 800 in rent
or its equivalent in upkeep costs.
Parallel to this pertinent fact we
find the influence of the automobile.
Our cities used to be bound with
in the iron ring of practical rams
portation. People had to'live where
thew could get to work. We develop
slums by packing workers INTO
crowded quarters under the smoke
stacks of our factories.
Auto Breaks Barriers
"The automobile has broken these
barriers and orr cities are spread
ing out. From the real estate point
of view every good automobile ROAD
has the significance of trolley
line.
Statistics would suggest, con
Guided Mr.. Babson,'' that the. grea
development of the next five TO ten
wears in the real estate markets Will
be a sprading out into the suburbs.
Here the tenant will find lever
rents and enough room to rafe ms ms
family decentlv. The ownef Will
know that he has d sound invest
ment that is being strengthens ov
the broas trend of fundamental con
ditions. The more astute, builders
are already planning to go III Tor
small home building as the rush
for fancy houses at fancy figures
slows up. 1t would be ridiculous TO
cav that all suburban land is good
investment but would suggest that
the man with money piakzfhe1 best
automobile roads in this city, fol
low them out until land can be
bought by the acre rather than the

Membership in the American
Federation Of Labor has fallen off
steadily since 1920. when It reached
the high water mark Of its career
1t was revealed In the report.
During these four years the
membership has decreased IN / 900 !.
900. from the high-water mark Of
4,O75, 900, reached In 1920. The
present membership is 2,S6B.979.
the smallest membership since 1918.
Fewer Unions Also.
There has been no decrease in
the membership to equal this IN
the history Of the Federation. There
had been a steady. climb in mann.
bership, practically without inter.
ruption, since 1t was created in
1881. For seven years, beginning
in 1892, there was no substantial
increase, but from 1899 to 1904,
the membership bounded up from
|a little more than 100000 to more
than 1,6bO,O0O. Then for two years
there was a decrease. bringing the
membership down to 1,460, 900 in
1906. A period Of unprecedented
growth began in 1915 and in four
years the membership was more
than doubled, after which began
the sharp decline which has not
yet been checked.
The loss in membership was &C
companied by a proportionate lose
in affiliated unions. On August 81
