REALTORS DENY.
COMBINE To
FIX RENTS
Roger Whiteford Says Group
Objects to Restraining
Legislation

Denying charges that Wash
ington real estate men were en-.
gagged in shady practices regard
ing the fixing of rents or black.
listing of tenants, Roger j. White
ford, counsel for the Washington
Real Estate Board. declared at q
meeting of the Senate District
subcommittee today that the or.
ganization was seeking to raise
the standard of real estate oper.
ationS and protested against EN-.
actment of any legislation de-
signed to regulate realty activi-
ties.
Charges made by Oscar H.
Brinkman that realtors formed
a combine to regulate rents and
thus violated the Sherman anti.
trust law making them liable
to prosecution, were denounced
by Whiteford.
Must Check Tenants"
He said that the Real Estate
Board has been seeking a license
clause since 1924 so as to control
real estate operations by regula-
ton of the men engaged in the
business.
Regarding so-called blacklists.
Whiteford said it was the duty
of agents to ascertain the credit
of prospective tenants and that
no business should be criticized
for a practice of ascertaining
what persons would pay their
rents.
For several years, Whiteford
said, the board tried to keep a
list of tenants so as to know
what persons evaded rent pay
ments, but found it unsuccessful.
The members now refer to
credit agencies for references.
He said the D. c. board con-
formed to the same code of
ethics as other real estate
boards throughout the country.
Defends Fees
Referring to commissions
charged by brokers of 5 per
cent for handling of apartment
houses, Whiteford said that it
was a fair charge for a personal
service and was the usual price
charged in other cities. White
ford charged that Brinkman
in his recent report to the COM
mittee merely expressed his
own opinion, which has. not
been based on fact.
The real estate board, he
said. was trying to make ad-
justments between property
owners and tenants and that
realtors were not overcharging
the public. He said rents were
gradually decreasing and the
situation would be remedied in
time if permitted to work itself
out, without the incumbrance
of legislation.

herewith a copy of S. 686, introduce
ed by Senator Smoot on December
6, to suspend the requirements of

Senator Smoot introduced an al
n1c5t identical measure in the End
sc sion of the list Congress, upon
which an unfavorable report was
submitted by the secretary Of the
Interior as you will note by the in
closed remarks Of Senator Oddie.
It may we'll be urged that since
relief legislation has oeen passed
for the benefit CT farmers and for
ether lnduStriecg suffering from the
financial depression. that it would
be proper for Congress to enact the
Smoot bill, but the opposition of
