Three meetings were held in Chi- cago this week for the express pur- pose of arriving at some means for bringing about co-operative methods by manufacturers, lumber and other building material interests, real estate brokers and builders. At a meeting of the housing com- mittee of the Chicago Real Estate board representatives of the building | ¥ material manufacturers promised im- mediate reductions of 10 per cent "if every one would get on the wagon". Earl L. Weinstock of Winnetka, representing the lumber dealers, told of reductions of from 10 to 35 per cent in lumber prices recently. "But," he added "we might knock off 10 per cent if everyone else does." William Schlake, president of the Illinois Brick Company, spoke for the brick men.
