Xewman of Oakland, doing business as tho Peoples Realty Judge A. 1'. St. Sure of the Superior Court of Alameda has just rendered a decision which is being received with keen satisfaction by the real estate men of California, and by those of many other states. The decision rendered by Judge St.

Sure follows an appeal taken by Newman from the decision of the Real Kstate Commissioner when the latter convicted the real estate agent of practicing deception and misrepresentation in tho transaction of his business. The decision of Judge St. Sure is of peculiar interest because it marks the close of a test case Involving the first cancellation of a real estate broker's license. Newman was charged by several of his clients with having misrepresented to them the character of a document which he induced them to sign. It was charged that it was his practice lo request a client's signature, ty hat he claimed was a simple com Hussion agreement but which subsequently provtul to ba a binding rXi Jl-sIsc.

Newman appealed to the Superior Court for a review of the case. Because of its important bearinff on the validity of the-reul estate license law, organized real estate men, particularly in California and generally throughout the United States, having been awaiting Judge St.

Sure's decision. California was the tlrst state to establish and put into operation a state real estate department empowered to license all real estate dealers and to enforce honesty and fair dealing in their business methods.

New Road That Will Connect Berkeley With Piedmont and East Oakland Without Necessitating Long Trip Through Oakland The new roadway will branch off from the Tunnel road at the big turn above Bake Temescal, swinging, up the canyon to get a good grade, continues along the shoulder of the hills above the San Francisco-Sacramento Klei-trio IJailroad. (Tossing the old Thornhill road, and dropping down to a Junction with the old Moraga road near where the old Medau house formerly stood. This is the longest section of new grade. The edd Moraga road Is then utilized up to the head of Park boulevard and Thirteenth avenue, and then the old road to Joaquin place is used to a point jnst beyond the old home, where, instead of turning to the left up a steep grade, a.

turn is made to the right over a road that was graded soiuciyears ago by tie Syndicate, and which drops down, pasmg directly behind the Oakland observatory at Beona Heights, to a we'll built road back of Mills College and extending -on down toward the Sequovah Club. About 'three-quarters of the entire road is already grade1 and with a solid dirt or gravel surface. The grading on the pieces to be constructed is already under way and will lie completed this winter in order to give the grade a. chance to settle, and by early next year the whole stretch can be traveled. Bights of way and pieces of already graded private road have been deed lo the City of Oakland, with a value of without a cent of cost, all the property owners making the necessary deeds freely.

The new boulevard will also open up a section of Kast Oakland that has heretofore been difficult of access. I'D to the present there have been but two roadways traversing the great "annexed district" north and south the mala county road and the Foothill boulevard. To these now lie inldcd the Mountain Vnule-vard In the exact location where it is most needed.

To show" that this road has been aft absolute necessity It is, only to be stated that the telephone company already has Its poles strung along the new roadway, that water mains are being installed for service, and the tiredepartment declares that it furnishes the most needed roadway development that exists in the whole ily 'of Oakland, doubling the ef-iicienee of the lire lighting force in the hill and annexed districts.

Hollan Land The United Iron Works will begin the work of Increasing the capacity of its (present! plant at Second and Clay fffrfets at once, and during the week thiy have purchased the property of the Repiillard Hrick Company with a frontage of. 1 00 feet on Second and 60 feet on Clay street, adjoining tho present plant of the iron works. This purchase gives the iron works a long desired piece of property, and will enable the com- pany to Increase Its capacity very greatly.

This increase in capacity has been made necessary by the growth of the business of the iron, works, which 'has been largely the result of the general growth of manufacturing upon this side of the bay. Ttje I'nited Irou Works was quick to grasp the importance of the industrial growth of the Hast bay dis- trlct and has been determined to meet all demands upon it from the I influx of industrial plants. The present plant of the I'nited Iron Works Is already taxed to the utmost, and the purchase of additional pwiperty became a necessity. The property just purchased has been owned for many years by the 1 Hemillard Hrick Company and was at one time used as a local distribut- ing point for builders' supplies. The I'nited Iron Works will hegin ex- tending its plant at once.

The trans- 1 action was handled by Fred K. Heed. TO BE SOLD OFF The Fred T. Wood Company announced this week that beginning Saturday. October 30, this firm will place on sale Oram! Avenue Heights, one of the finest of lake district properties.

This is an- important event in the Moore hip yards because the Works Council is the yard or shop organi-tatlon which finally hears and dis-, poses of all complaints upon the part of the men both as to working conditions and individual wage disputes.

It is a sort of upper house of the industrial organization of the Moore yards comparable to the senate legislative bodies, and the election to this body is extremely important for has power not only to hear and dispose of disputes hut it can initiate matters of policy, which it has done In several instances. This Industrial organization of the Moore yards has been developed within that organization, and of late has been the subject of much Inquiry and investigation by those interested in industrial organization. One of the results of this interest in the Moore organization has been the invitations extended to Herbert J. Anderson, Manager of Industrial Relations of tho Moore Shipbuilding Company, to address many public and semi-public organizations upon the Moore plan and its results. This address has been delivered in' many parts of Oakland, the Eastbay district and San Francisco before the Lyons.

Ad Club and similar organizations, and details "the Moore plan and some of its results. In. View of tho election of yesterday a synopsis of this plan', as taken from the address of Mr. Anderson, will he of interest, and is here given: "I have been asked to tell you of the plan adopted by the men and the management of the Moore Shipbuilding company to handle questions of mutual Interest. When the men returned to work under the open shop nr Anvorlcan plan we wanted them to feel that it was not the desire of the management to take away from them snv of the privileges which they had previously enjoyed, and one of these privileges was the right to deal with the management through chosen representatives.

This is a subject over which there Is wide difference of opin- I If you recall. President Wil- son's industrial conference dead- locked on this very point. Mr. Gom-pcrs insisting that the represent Uvea be chosen by the unions and I the employers stating that they were willing to confer with their own I men. i "We at first Investigated various i plans which had had ben adopted by one corporation or another, hut cculd not find one that Whs adapted to a big ship yard employing fix thousand or more men in fifty das- 1 sificatlona or departments.

We then I decided to go at the proposition from a common sense standpoint, and called in five workmen representing five different occupations or trades in tho yard. These men were elected at a meeting at -which fvery elassi- ficatlon in the yard was represented, In conference with these repn-sen- tntives of the workmen themselves 1 r.e drafted the constitution ami by- laws of the Works Council of the' Moore Shipbuilding Company and this constitution was afterwards adopted by a unanimous otc of nil, department representatives. "Tho very basis of thix plan is to have tho men themselves their grievances among themselves and through repicsentatues elected by themsejvos at a secret and un-controlieil ballot The i.l,,. iv, more than fulfilled expectations, for 98 per cent of tho grievances are 4 adjusted among the men themselves before reuchlng the Manager or Industrial Relations and 9 it per cent of the 2 per cent balance are adjusted before the Works Council reached. "The plan works out like this.

The tnen in the yard arc divided into 44 classifications, from each of which a worker representative is elerted. Any complaint, gt lev. nice or co'ndi-i tlon which any employee, considers! requires adjustment, may he taken Up by him with his foreman, or through the workers' representative of his department. Tf the matter Can not be satisfactorily adjusted by them it shall be taken up by tho workers' representative with the manager of industrial relations. If he can not make satisfactory adjustment the matter shall be referred to the Works Council by a written report, signed by the employee and the workers' representative, ami the -Works Council will make an investigation and file ti decision.

"This Wo ks Council Is composed. of five head foremen representing five general classifications of all tho workera and five representatives of the workers themselves, who are elected twice year, tbree at tint election and two at another, the term of ofliee being for, one year. 'This election Is absolutely secret. Nominations are made front the group to be represented by the men themselves. The nomination is by petition containing signatures of lfi per cent of the qualiiied voters of the group and is tiled 'with the secretary of the Works Council.

When the time for nominations has i expired the names of the nominees are on return postal card In j-nruiar Australian ballot form, I and tin of these cards is sent to' every qualified voter in the yard, I Ihts card is to be marked, by a. cross and dropped into the nrjuil without tiny signature or njarking'tliat would identify the voter, and only qualified voters get the cards. As the controlled entirely Ly the Works Council and its secretary, and ti! the Works Council is elected by the men at large, tho election is entirely In the hands of the men.

Subsequent to the tiling of the application the com-panV'-'granted Its drivers a wage increase averaging 15 per cent. i the ground that they had failed to show the necessity for the operation of a stage service between Santa Cruz and California Redwood Park, the Railroad Commission to day refused to grant to Waterman Kleth a permit lo establish such a service. The granting of the application was protested by the Southern, Pacific and by James Harvey. The latter operates a stage service between Santa Cruz and Boulder Creek. The commission says that at the hearing of the applifr-atlon there was no evidence presented as to the need of the service other than the desire of the applicants to enter, the business.

The commission has repeatedly held that mere desire to enter the transportation business is not sufficient reason for, the granting of a permit. The commission has refused to grant an operating permit to the San F'rancisco and Santa Cruz Transportation Company, which wanted to establish an auto freight and express service between San Francisco and Santa Cruz. The commission says in its opinion that public convenience and necessity do not require such a service. C. M.
