Auspices of the Boro Park Provisional Committee, American League Against War and Fas- Fusion and Real Estate Owners Seek Huge Federal Subsidies to Reap Profits in Tenement Repairs Total of 28 Lives Lost in Fires During Two Months of Fusion By EDWIN ROLFE The angling of New York's tene- |ment house owners for Federal funds to repair their decrepit old- law buildings in which 670,000 work- ing class families * are housed, con- tinues with the metropolitan papers playing up Mayor LaGuardia’s de- magogic “defiance” of their official threat to evict these families if they are forced to install needed struc- tural {mpvovements. Without these improvements, the danger of death to workers by fire will continue un- abated. LaGuardia, whose administration has been in the City Hall for two months, has— through Tenement Commissioner Langdon W. Post — issued grandiose staféments on “slum clearance,” “improved hous- | ing for the poor,” and all the other | high-sounding declarations made by and Convention March Issue Off the Press!—Furniture Workers Subscribe!

Ac- | tion has been deferred on the ex- |cuse used by previous city adminis- | trations, that “it takes time.” This criminal procrastination, this refusal of the LaGuardia gang to do anything about the conditions of the sium tenements, | * This is the figure admitted by | Real Estate Association of Greater |New York. Other estimates, based |on the Association’s figure for the has resulted in the deaths of 28 workers and their children by fire during the first two months of the Fusion administration. That the situation grows rapidly worse, more fraught with danger for New York’s working class oc- cupants of these criminally de- crepit buildings, is indicated in the fact that 15 of these 28 deaths have occurred in slum dwellings in Brooklyn and.Manhattan dur- ing the past two weeks. Joseph Goldsmith, president of the council of the Real Estate As- sociation of Greater New York, who made the wholesale eviction threat against working class families last week, emerged from a recent con- ference with Commissioner Post with the statement that he wanted to “clarify” His previous declaration. As the New York Times reported, “he said landlords were eager to eliminate unsafe and unsanitary tenements and welcomed the Mayor's suggestion thet Federal funds might be available for the purpose.” All the high-sounding phrases used by LaGugrdia in his “defiance” of the tenement owners can be sum- med up—in the light of the actual situation—as follows: LaGuardia must create the sem- blance of actual work in order to maintain the semblance of sticking to his demagogic campaign promi- ses, which fooled many of the fire- threatened population of the city into voting for him. But since his entire administration is part and parcel of the Wall Street banks Editor JOE KISS} Dumber of Old Law Tenements Subscription 5 cents « year.

Mortgages on ja great percentage of these filthy and crowded old-law tenements are heid by the very banks which con- trol LaGuardia’s every official ac- tion. It can easily be seen, there- fore, that under this set-up LaGuar- dia plans to do nothing to effect real changes in this situation—a situa- tion which clamors for action. Ham Fish Owns Firetraps What is more, LaGuardia knows that he is not going to fight against the tenement owners. Some of these owners, it will be interesting to workers to know, are Hamilton Fish, the Astors, etc., who control huge blocks of real estate on the East Side. Since these owners claim that they will have to spend $3,000 per building to make them safe for habitation, they are, with the aid of the Mayor, trying to get huge sub- sidies, of enormous profit to them- selves, from the Federal Govern- ment. They are, in other words, to use funds taken in the form of taxes, out of the pockets of the very tenants whose lives are in danger in order to renovate these micsrable | buildings. Instead of spending their own money, their own profits, on the repairs needed to comply with the lopg-unenforced Multiple Dwell- ing Lanvs, they plan to further vic- timize these tenants, making them pay for the necessary alterations, in addition to the subsidies they hope to get. Working with LaGuardia, So- cialist workers may be interested to know, is B. Charney Viadeck, business mai of the “Social- ist” (2!) Jewish Daily Forward. Viadeck is a member of Langdon Post’s Housing Commission. To date he has cooperated with the LaGuardia administration fight of phrases against firetraps. It is an obvious game that the cism.
