The Washington Real Estate
Board today stepped forth as un-

sion.
In addition to going on record
against general or unwarranted
increases in rents and evictions of
tenants, the board has asked that

The real estate board believes
that through moral suasion and in
direct influence 1t will be able to
curtail many possible injustices In
tenant-landlord relations when the
bars are let down through discoIl-
tinuance of the Rent Commission.
At a meeting of the executive
committee of the board last night,
the following resolution was
adopted:
Whereas, the Washington Real
Estate Board Is opposed to any
general or unwarranted increases
in rents or evictions Of tenants,
Now, therefore, be. 1t resolved,
that the members Of the Washing
