that cannot be solved by any exercise
of police power in coming. At the same
time, however, Mr.. Nelson said, the real
estate boards wished to see this prob
lem on the rural highways solved, not
only from the viewpoint of business in
terests, but also from that of aesthetic
values.
Later during the conference, he said,
he proposed to submit a definite plan
to lay before the group, and expressed
the hope that the conference would
constitute itself a continuing body to
study and work out lawful solution of
the problem.
Advertisers Are Concerned.
A. r. Burnett, representing the Asso-
citation Of National Advertisers, adj
mitted that outdoor advertising is no
small part of business conducted on
the highways. Progressive advertising
concerns, he declared, are concerned
about public opinion that is being raised
against the organized advertising pam
els" and are taking care to see that
these boards are not offensive to the
public.
Mr.. Pack declared it was a conten-
ton of his organization that the bill
board does not belong on the rural
highway; that so located, it does not
perform necessary Junction. That It's
place Is In commercial and industrial
urban areas definitely established.
In making this distinction, he said
the American Nature Association had
no intention to discriminate against
the rural billboard in favor of the
rural stand or filing station. I'VE
feel that these roadside businesses must
be brought under proper and legal regu-
lation, to the end that their location
and the character of their business
shall be consistent with the best con-
SiderationS Of rural roadside beauty"
zoning is still in its infancy, Mr..
Pack said, and 1t will be q long while
before any model law can be worked
out. Model legislation is being adj
vanced on two. lines, he explained, by
coming and by taxation.
'zoning seems TO be perhaps the best
method Of attacking the problem" he
added.

added that business construction

attempting to set aside the regular
method by which wage scales have
been negotiated in the past.

the wage scales. with the master
contractors, and this system as a
rule has worked out favorably,' de-
clared Charles w. Kern, former
school commissioner and building
trades council representative.
Attempts Group Cuts
''Now, some of these contractors
are attempting, through this new
organization, to make us take group
reductions.
"But they have made no attempt
to negotiate with the union business
agents. They have adopted a
take it or leave it. attitude, to
which we will not agree"
Many contractors have not asked
for the reduction and the crafts
men are at work on those jobs,
they declared.
Messing of the council today was
the regular business session, but it
was devoted to discussion of the
proposed reduction.
