VAN HOLD-UP MAN. { Escape for Tenant of Profiteer- | Rources: ing Landlord Is Only From th Frying Pan Into Fire. Je Between excessive increases in Tentals and extortionate demands of moving van owners, the renter whose lease expires on Oct. 1, as most New York apartment leases do, has only| the choice of remaining in the frying pan or jumping into the fire. Complaints from every borough of the city are pouring in to The Evening | ¢y, ‘World, many of them couched tn lan-| is guage which suggests that if the au- thorities do not soon do something to| relieve the situation there will be trouble for somebody besides the rent | !!' payer. se For months The Evening World has been telling of rentals increased be- yond all reason, yet now, when a tenant chooses rather to get out than submit to the extortion, he finds him- self confronted by what looks sus- viciously like conspiracy on tha.part of large numbers of van owners. A city ordinance clearly defines the maximum charges that may be made by owners of different classes of vans and then destroys its own effective- ness by incorporating a proviso that any old price may be,charged if the van owner and his customer agree to it. In practice this law is a joke to the van owner. If the customer de- clines to make an agreement at any price the van owner chooses to charge, it suddenly develops that the vans are ail too busy to move that customer's goods. The Evening World to-day asked Deputy Commissioner Sexton of the Department of Licenses if he knew any way to prevent extortion on the part of van owners. He sald he would revoke the license of any owner convicted of violating the law. Asked if there were any way to com- pel a van owner to move the goods of a tenant who declined to make a special contract with him, Commis- sioner Sexton said he knew of no law ta compel a man to work when he didn't want to. He added: “If it can be proved that a van owner declines to move a person's goods at the lawful rate for the pur- pose of forcing him to make a con- tract at a higher rate, I should regard that as a just reason for revoking his license.” But the Joke is apparent when you try to prove this, ——__—— |one jhe Every man of eighteen to forty-five years old, except those already regis- tered, must register for the selective draft Sept. 12.
