REALTORS TO DISCUSS
NEW FARM COMMUNITY
DR.. Elwood Mead Will Explain
Governments Land Colonization
Plan at Convention.

The theory that the farm Is an EN-
be made an economically profitable
place may be radical In this day of
lugubrious pictures on the situation of
the oft caricatured and headlined
farmer, but this Is the theory on
which the farm lands division of the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards is building its program for the
associations annual convention, to be
held IN Boston, Mass. June IS to 20.
DR.. Elwood Mead, In his talk on
Community Farms" viii discuss actual
projects Of the Government and of
individuals in settling people on small
farms through land colonization under
plan which creates q new type of
farm community, comparable to the
OLD New England farm town. Such
farms exempltfy modern farming meth
oos in operation among q group large
enough to make these methods profit
able. DR.. Mead Is director Of the United
states reclamation service, Department
Of the Interior.
HOW realtors can prevent their valu-
able tracts OF farm lands from be-
coming wall flowers by introducing them

Herrold, Northwestern University.
Evanston, Ill. A recent survey of the
Seinng or farm lands made by the
national association showed that the
average distance between the farm

snat the logical way to make this buy

cent rentals today, eventually they viii
have q depreciating effect because Of
the number Of small merchants with
whom they interfere and whom they
will eventually drive out OF business"
the San Francisco committee reported.
Opposed to this are the opinions Of
the majority who believe that adjoin-
ing businesses are benefited through
the greater pulling power Of the chains
and the stimulation to greater effort
that the chains instill in their neigh
bors," said Mr.. Steers. MY own opin-
ion Ia that the chain stores benefit the
progressive merchant neig1bor and ac-
CELEBRATE the rate Of failure Of the weak
and unprogressive ones. Competition
with the chain store becomes the test
of fitness for the speciality shop, and
those that meet the test properly will
survive and prosper"
A unanimous and emphatic approval
of advertising by merchants was re-
corded In the survey conducted by Mr..
Steers.
"The larger the advertiser. the great
er the trafiic to the particular location
and the greater the traffic the better
the business, which In turn creates
higher rental and property values"
said Mr.. Steers, who urged that an In
tensiye study be given the subject with
a view to formulating a plan requiring
ground floor merchants to spend q
portion Of their income for adver-
Using.

RECENT LABOR TROUBLES
APPARENTLY ADJUSTED
Difficulties In Industries Which
Halted Building Operations Over
come-Wage Increases Noted.

Within the last 80 days considerable
labor difflculty developed in the build
ing industry, but substantially all dis
agreements have been adjusted. s. w.
Straus Co. reports the most serious Sit
uation was presented In Chicago, where
some $20o, 000, 900 Of construction was
sidetracked for several days, pending
adjustment. quite number OF wage
increases were granted. Labor diflcul-
ties Of no small consequence have re-
Gently developed in New York, st. Louis
and Baltimore. Labor in Canada also
has shown q FESTIVE spirit lately. which
has affected construction activities in
Montreal and Toronto.
On the Pacific Coast some unem-
ployment In the labor crafts has been
reported. In the San Francisco Bay
district nearly 40 per cent Of building
lahorers have failed to find steady en-
ployment. Similar conditions prevail
In Southern California. In Seattle and
Portland conditions were reported more
satisfactory, attributed by labor leaders
to the three-year wage agreement which
has two years to run, the bankers
report.

Of tax-participation clauses IA leases
for ground-door space.
mo relief from increasing taxes can
be predicted or anticipated" said Mr..
Steers. while greater efficiency and
economy in municipal, State and Fed
seral governmental agencies are being
accomplished, the standards Of living
are trending higher, which means the
public pays the cost Of the things
they demand. and this cost can only
be recovered through taxation.
Safeguard Needed.
Therefore It would seem proper to
urge that the inclusion of tax-partici-
patton clauses in all ground floor leases
be given further consideration as one
Of the means Of safeguarding busi-
ness property investments"
Mr.. Steers, who has made q study of
the rental of ground-fioor space, re-
ported that the percentage leases, by
which the store owner pays the build
ing owner in proportion to the sales
made, are gaining favor. In those cases
base rental is fixed at about IS per
cent OF the prevailing rates and per-
centages ranging from to Is per cent
OF gross sales are used to make up the
total Of rent paid.
A saarp conflict in opinion regard
ing o,e chain stores was revealed by
Mh Steers. who pointed to the flnd-
ngs Of the San Francisco association
as an indication that many property
owners regard the chain stores az a
boomerang"

FAMILY DWELLING
| INCREASES
Building Materials Decrease,
While Wages Increase,
j Report Shows.

A periodic study by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics of the building activt-
ties in representative cities, which has
been carried on since 1921, shows that
the average expenditure for one-family
dwellings has increased nearly 81 1000
ing q population Of $4,000 and over.
During the same period che wholesale
price OF building material has decreased
80 per cent and union wage rates in
the building trades have increased 70
Der cent.
The same study shows that the trend
toward apartment houses as dwelling
places continues without abatement
Nearly 81 per cent Of the family dwell
ing places provided for in the building
permits issued In 1928 were for this
type Of dwelling. This is the third con-
secutive year that more family units
have been provided in apartment houses
than in one-family dwellings. The
movement is more marked In cities hav-
ing population of SOC, 900 or over than
In the smaller cities.
Progress in the establishment of the
ftye-day week has been rapid in certain
Industries in America during the past
few years. An article in the June issue
of the Monthly Labor Review which
presents a brief survey Of the preva-
1ence Of the f1ve-day week at the pres
ent time shows that while the most
rapid progress in the adoption of the
shorter week has been made in the
building trades, the mems clothing in
dustry and the automobile industry, it
IS Of growing importance in many other
industries.
Something of the rapidity Of its ex-
tension in one industry alone Is shown
by the fact that In 1875, when similar
survey was made by the bureau, only is
per cent Of the employees in the automo-
bile industry were working q regular
centge had increased to approximately
90. OF the larger industries, the mems
clothing continues to show by far the
largest number Of establishments and
the largest number Of employees working
on regular fve-day week schedule.
The common assumption that labor
turnover is costly to workers as well as
to employers seems to be somewhat dis
proved by a study OF turnover among q
group of Philadelphia workers. While
change In the place Of employment did
not result in all cases in improved eco
nomic status, and while there was no
uniformity in the gains among those
whose weekly earnings were increased, it
still appears that to an appreciable de-
gree rolling stones did gather moss in
the sense of improving weekly earnings.
The report of the committee on recent
economic changes, an outgrowth Of the
Presidents Unemployment Conference
OF 1921, reviews the far-reaching
changes in the industrial life Of the
United States which have occurred dur
ing the past few years. In the period
rom 1922 to 1927, according TO the
findings Of the committee, prices de-
clfned on the average Of OIL per cent
q year, while the purchasing power Of
wages increased al per cent year.
