LANDLORDS HANDED A~LEMON Chicago Court Rules Against the Ex- clusion of Children from Dwelll Chicago children have been given the right to live—in any flat, apartment house or dwelling which they and their parents desire to occupy, and they can stay just as long as thelr fathers pay the rent. The landlord cannot longer tell the man of un- limited family and lmited means to go to the suburbs and bulld himself a house if he insists on providing a roof for his sons and daughters. The state law, which landlords and their attorneys had laughed at, declaring it un- constitutional and class legislation to pro- hibit thelr turning away tenants with chil- dren, was upheld as constitutional by Muni- clpal Judge Himes, and if the declsion stands unreversed in the higher courts Chi- cago tenants, through thelr spokesma Ro!la R. Longenecker, say they have estal lished an Important means by which many ttings, from readonable periods for re- papering the rooms to proper degrees of heat In gero weather, may be regulated by law. “All the lawyers laughed at me and sald of course the law was unconstitutional, but I went ahead and took & chance,” sald At- torney Longenecker. The case was brought on Mr. Longenecker's complaint that W. Stars and Stripes He —a refreshing draught for supper—a delightful glass to the evening lamp. Stars and Stripes is a foaming, sparkling beverage for 8. Boyleston, on assuming control of the flats at 511 East Sixteenth street, had r fused to renew the Longenecker lease, de- claring that he did not care to rent to families with children. As Mr. Longe- necker has a son b years old and a daugh- ter aged 3, he saw the point, but instead of submitting he went to the courts, “It I8 the first case that has been brought up under this law, and unless the supreme court reverses it it will mean serious conse- quences for any landlord who refuses to rent his flats to families with children,” commented Mr. Longenecker. “Judge Himes is to be congratulated on upholding the law.” Judge Himes in the opinion declared that children have as much right to protection as the ggme of the state, and the game laws have been universahy upheld. Power placed in the hands of landlords to drive large families to hotels or dwelling houses, both of which are beyond the purses of the majority, tends to encourage race sul- cide, he hinted. Any law that will make for the comfort, safety and welfare of the community, he declared, 1s well within the police powers of the state. “In the exercise of this,” he sald, “(he general assembly may prufibit all things hurtful to the comfort, safety and welfare of soclety, even though the prohibition in- volve the right of liberty or property of an individual.”—Chicago Post.
