Sapo % q “THE EVENING WORLD, THURSDAY, JUNE “TENTS ORGANIZE. -FORBITTERWAR ON THE RENT RAISERS 'Greater New York Tenants » League Will Carry the Fight to"W ashington. § The tenants of Greater New York + have gone to the mat with the land- lords of Greater New York. At & Mecting last night of a lot of rent payers in the People’s House, No. 7 East 15th Street, representing every dection from the Bronx, Brooklyn, Brownsville, the east side and west ,fide, down to the Battery and some| of the suburbs, the one thing decided jupon was organization tp fight the fent raisers. Women predominated, and it was the women who held down the meet- ing to the point at issue, which was for an immediate adjustment of rents ‘and to prevent the next raise prom- lied on the first of October. Mrs. Rose Schnetdermann presided, and lehe eent things through in parlia- mentary shape, overruling the more radical men, but cupping thelr can- dies ko nicely as not to offend them. Here's what was accomplished: | Aplan to effect permanent or- fanization at a meeting at the } game place on Tuesday, July 2. {4 Dues 10 cents a month for each tenant member, or $1 a year pay- { able in advance. {| Members to be enrolled accord- ' tng to election districts through- out Grenter New York; captains §) to be named in each district, they ' toh the power of appointing ONLY MEDICINE MADE FROM FRUIT Extraordinary y Success which; “Fruit-a-tives” Has Achieved One reason why “Fruit-a-tiv extraordinarily successful in giving relief to those suffering with Constipation, Torpid Liver, Indigestion, Chronic Head- aches, Neuralgia, Kidney and Bladder Troubles, Rheumatism, Pain in the Back, Ecaema and other Skin Affections, is Because it is the only medicine im the world made from fruit juices.

Putting on rezord at the fall election candidates for Congress and the State Legiviature and voting for them as trey pledge themselves to vote for or against tho interests of the tenants after election. Samuel Orr, who at the last meeting of the league, the official name of | League, was named Chairman of the ‘committee to draft the plan of or- | ganization and the method of gather- ing members and of procedure, made hia report, on which the foregoing ac- tion was based. Letters were read from members of rentpayers, showing raises from % to $21 a month up to date, with the assurance of another raise on Oct. 1. Miss Vida Milholland told of the Salsbury law, passed in Washington, the war. A man tenant imparted tho information that Congress could do anything it wanted to do in the Dis- trict of Columbia. “This is a question which not only applies to New York,” answered Mra. Schneldermann, “but to the entire country. So many new factories have been put up that there are not houses enough for the accommodation of the workmen. The result has been that those occupying houses in those dis- tricta not only have had their rents raised, but have been dispossessed without notice, to make room for the new-comera who were taxed $15 and $20 a month higher. We know that fewer houses are being built and that houses are being commandeered by the Government on account of the war, “Why isn’t it a national question? Whom does the new condition make it harder for than the mothers of the men who have gone to the front to fight our war? Why should not the landlord profiteer be restrained as well as the profiteers of food, of coal, of all supplies for the Government? Many of the real estate men and landlords have said “This ts our time.’ In many cases where the expenses of the landlord have been increased $300, they have raised their rents $3,000, They froze their tenants last winter and said it was the fault of the war. They raised the rents at the same time, with the alternative of ‘seeing’ the raise or getting out. They raised them again in the spring and have given notice that they will raise them again in the fall.” |. Alexander Law wanted a resolution adopted that Congress be asked to pass a Single Tax Land Law. vey other spoke of the co-operative sy by which tenants might band torether and rent an apartment house and let the apartments at a reasonable profit. These were agreed to, but the meeting decided that this was not the time to put the systems into effect. ‘hat was needed now, Miss Milhol nd declared, was action covering Present conditions, | ‘The following committee was named to raise funda for the delegation to be leent to Washington: Miss Anna |Minoviteh, Miss Vida Milholland, Mra. Mary D. Rhodes, Alexander Law, Mrs, Rose Schneidermann, Mrs. M. Rasum- off, August Hoeberman and Morris) Ginaberg. The method of raising the funds, it was decided, was to go to tenants in the various districts, get their names ~ and their monthly or yearly dues, Ten thousand 10-cent pleces means a thou- sand dollara, A collection was taken up which brought In several paid-up annual members and netted enough to go abead with the work in hand. | George Lioyd, Samuel Orr and | Alexander ‘Law were named as a comiittes to draft the resolution to be presented by the delegation to the |Preaident and the New York Con- | gressional delegation, Miss Vida Sutton said a word for ‘the suburbanites, She said that, while rents were going up in New York, they were going down in the country ‘The anbwer was that too many people were coming to or sticking to the city. Sho suggested that some of them get out into the country while the getting was good and the rents reasunable. And lest prospeotive congressional | and legislative candidates forget, Miss Mulholland reminded those present that the mothers and sisters and wives and sweethearts of soldiers | now had votes, and wanted to know if | the votes were going to be used in the | anti-landiord campaign. | And every man and woman said aye! ‘PAYS 4 GENTS INCOME TAX; $13,000,000 TAKEN IN DAY HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN | One Payment to Edwards Was Y HE } SY BER BAR | $2,087,187, and a Personal | which is Greater New York Tenants’ | | which will keep rents where they are) in the District of Columbia until after | | | There is real common sense In just} Tax Was $1,700,000, yoticing whether the hair is well kept to judge of a woman's neatness, or| mnal Revenue Collector Méwards Goud taste.
