Take Wage Fight
To National Board


Johnson, international Representa-
tive of Hotel and Restaurant EN-
pIoyees. in Charge of the Railway
Department of this National Union
handling affairs of dining car en-
ployees, stated that as q result Of
the discriminatory attitude of the
Southern Pacific Company on the
matter of wage increase for dining
car employees The Dining Car
Cooks and Walters Union Local
$50 and ass will take their wage
increase demands to the National
Board ofMeditation.
With the powerful Southern Pa
cifc Company refusing to grant
wage increases parallel to those
given all other employees of its
dining car department, conferences
terminated November 18th. after
several months of negotiations be-
tween the company and orgsization
representing employees. Every
effort was made by the employees
representatives To reach a mutual
iy satisfactory understanding on
the matter.
Considering the fact that dining
car workers arr the lowest paid OF
rail employees working on an aver
age Of sixteen hours per day. and
under many abnormal conditions,
refusal to treat these workers equ-
al with others. points to discrimin-
alton of these employees.
BY daily contact, the public has
come to know and appreciate these
workers, realizing that no group
of rail employees contributes more
to it's comfort, health and security
when travelling.
Sensing the need for acting on
a national basis to protect their in
terest against such treatment as
has been accorded by one powerful
company, dining car employees met
recently in Omaha, for the purpose
of coordinating their efforts to i'm
prove economic, Industrial and the
social we'll being of these workers,
and to lessen the strain, wear and
tear of disjointed action which now
places them in a precarious condi-
ton when attempting to bargain
with the highly orgaized rail indus
try.
In their struggle for better wage
rates, Southern Pacific Employees,
like all other dining car employees
have the travelling public's interest
in mind. Certainly these workers
feel that forcing them to depend on
the travelling public, or for carriers
to expect it's patrons to contribute
to make up wage deficiencies of
these workers by gratities, is not
only m~anifestiy unfair to carrier
patrons but definitely unfair to the
employees. These workers are not
unmindful that the travelling public
pays a price for services rendered
sufficient to enable the carriers to
treat both public and employee
with greater justice.
In passing, it is interesting to
note that the average annual
wage of these workers is less than
1864 out of which workers are ex-
pected to maintain themselves and
families in decency and be assets
to the communities in which they
live. This annual wage rate, when
considered in the light of economic
ad social factors, coupled with long
gruelling hours of employment, ex-
acting requirements of service, in
addition to the training and skill
required to efficiently perform
their duties, presents a rather an
omalous picture.
All that these workers request.
or demand is equal treatment in
the matter of wages as granted
other employees and which will

Mansion Open
ToVisitors

Among the most beautiful man
sionS ever offered for sale in
Washington, according to its
builder, is a large 10-room home
available at 2919 Woodland Drive,
N. W., through the H. L. Rust
Company.
Unlike most of the palaces"
here, which usually are many
years old, the Woodland Drive
home is up to date in every re-
spect because it has just been
finished. 1t is open today and TO-
morrow.
Besides the fact that modern
luxuries of every kind have been
built into the mansion, it has the
distinction of being located in Mas
sachuSetts Park overlooking Rock
Greek Valley. A miniature forest
surrounds the house.
The residence has four bed.
rooms and three baths on the
second floor; two-car stone
garage; three open fireplaces, and
arrangements for servants quar-
ters in the attic or basement.
Persons interested in the home
may secure information about it
either on the premises, where an
agent will be stationed today and
tomorrow, or from the H. L. Rust
Company, located at Fifteenth
and K Streets Northwest.

Flashing SaUes Money
If Well Selected

Flashing is used in so many
places in a house and is SO vitally
important to its weather-tightness
that it must not be passed over
lightly and left to the whim of
the builder.
Cheap flashing. like most other
cheap things, is not of much use.
1t is difficult and expensive to
replace and, therefore, a little
extra cost for this item when the
house is being built will be a
saving in the long run.

300 Per Cent
Boost Over
Last Year
Trend Also Reflected
In Statistics For
Rest of u. S.
BY JOHN DEAN MILLIGAN
Real Estate Editor

Unusual activity in building con.
struction, applying both to the
District of Columbia as whole, is
rejected in a report, on permits
issued in February, published to-
day by the Bureau Of Labor Sta
tisticS.
The survey reveals that the to-
tai volume of construction for
which permits were issued here
last month amounted to $685.
TIA, as compared with $2,019,52l
in February of last year. This
represents a gain of $5,896,0 in
dollar volume or about 300 per
cent.
Throughout the nation, based
on reports from 1,500 cities an in
crease of 63 per cent is shown in
total building. Higher was the
gain in residential construction,
placed at "a per cent during the
period of year.
Schools Authorized
washing tons comparatively
large gain was explained, in part,
bv the issuance of permits for
multi-family dwellings to cost ST.
100000 and for school buildings
to cost $1,200,000. Even if these
are omitted, a tremendous re-
vival in building activity is shown.
Meanwhile, a few cities like
Houston, Tex, Baltimore, Md,
and Louisville, KY, were disclosed
to have lost ground between Febru-
airy of 1886 and last month. The
nationwide picture is, however, en-
couraging. For only the second
time in eight years" said Secretary
of Labor Frances Perkins, "Febru-
airy permit valuations have eX-
ceeded January valuations" She
explained:
"The increase Of 33 per cent
between January and February
was due to a gain of 4S per
cent in the value of new resi-
dental construction, a gain of
IA per cent IL the value of new
nOnreSidentiaI construction, and
a rise of 81 per cent in the value
of permits issued for additions,
alterations, and repairs to exist
ing buildings. The increase in
building activity was shared by
eight of nine geographic divi-
siOnS. New England was the
only section to show decrease.
INCLUDES REPAIRS
"a decided gain in reSiden-
tiaI construction is shown by
permit values as compared with
the corresponding month Of last
year. The value of this type of
building shows a gain Of "a per
cent.
There was an increase of Is
per cent in the value of new
nonreSidentia. buildings, and a
gain of 72 per cent in the value
of additions, alterations. and
repairs.
The data collected by the Blu
reau of Labo4 Statistics include,
in addition to private construction,
the number and value of buildings
for which contracts were awarded
by Federal and State governments
in the cities included in the re-
port. For February, 1887, the
value of these public buildings
amounted to $14,79O,000; for
January. 1887. to $3,351 900; and
for February, 1895, to $4,000, 900.

Paint Sales
Increase

Statistics on sales of paint, var
nish and lacquer products, based
on data reported to the Bureau of
the Census by 579 identical estab-
lishments and believed to repre-
sent about 80 per cent of the total
volume of the industry, show that
the total sales for 1886 represent
a gain of 14.4 per cent over 1885
business.
The business for the entire year
amounted to $382,556,555. OF this
amount $145,3O5,248 represented
trade sales, S117009,733 repre-,
sented industrial sales, and 235

Talks
On Property
Managing
Trustworthy Personnel
Seen as Important
Consideration

In addressing members Of the
washington Real Estate Board
at its weekly Real Estate Forum
Francis A. Murray, vice presi'
dent of H. G. Smithy Company
and second vice president OF the
board, graphically outlined the
functions of a property manage
ment office. He stated:
Property management is
not simply a question. Of OBJ
tanning q tenant for q piece Of
vacant property in order to
make q commission. That is
the renting business in its
crudest form. Rather, it is
the ability to obtain the best
net income for the owner Of
that property after taking into
consideration various factors.
The fuIfilIment Of this goal
is truly property management
as a worthy profession"
STRESSES PERSONNEL
"The phases Of personnel are
very important and before one
attempts to build up q prop
erty management department
he must make sure his per-
SOnnel is Of the proper type.
All office workers, including
the manager, should be we'll
grounded in the fundamentals
of the real estate business;
each man in charge of a de-
partment should be q special
ist in his line; each clerk in
that department should be well
acquainted with his subject.
"The importance of this can
not be too greatly stressed as
both the tenant and owner, as
well as the public, will quickly
lose lost confidence if they feel
your man does not know his
business.
BONDING REQUIRED
Murray stated it is the practice
OF property management offices tt
bond all employees whose duties art
connected with collections. Amons
the duties of the property manager
he cited analysis of property fol
best use; analysing past and pres
ent operating statements; securing
of proper tenants; obtaining credit
reports on tenants if necessary
maintaining the owners invest
ment; and at all times rendering
courteous service to tenants.

HUBERT LEW|SIS
HEARD AT CHURCH
Large Congregation at First
Baptist Told About
Modern Turkey

Hubert Lewis, who has just return
ed to his home here after a stay of
more than two years in Turkey as
director of athletics for a government
organization there, spoke at the mid
week prayer service at the First Bap-
fist church Wednesday evening on his
experiences and observations while in
the Near East. He was presented by
the pastor, Rev. A. S. Hale, and for
nearly an hour had questions fired
at him about conditions and customs,
and answered them all clearly and in
a manner most interesting to the con-
gregation.
He said, among other things, and
of interest to the church people pre-
sent, there no religion was recognized
in Turkey, and the people had no
religious life, despite the impression
that most of the pOpulace were Mo-
hemmedans. He also surprised the
audience by declaring there was no
organized crime in Turkey, that muir
ders were a rarity, and that govern
mental restrictions and regulations
were carried out to the letter in keep
ing trace of individuals and their
movements. He said that while this
tends to curb ones liberties to that
extent, he believed it in large meas
ure responsible for the small amount
of crime in the country.
Lewis was an all-Southern track
star at Duke University, where he
graduated three years ago. Soon after
completing his course at Duke, he was
offered the work in Turkey and ac-
cepted. He is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
H. NJ Lewis, of Henderson.
