“CALLUS CORNS” | —UFT RIGHT OFF Doesn't hurt! Lift any. com or callus off with fingers “COT HM A UST?’ 4 SAYS TENANT HH FOUGHT LANDLORD —_— Letters to Evening World Reveal More Tyranny of the Profiteers. Evidences of high-handed practices, Permitted by the present laws on the part of taridiords with tyrannous in- Ginations, continue to multiply In the Tesponses to The Evening World's Tequest for information concerning rent profiteering. One example is cited by a tenant residing on the up- per west side of the city. He says: | “Two years ago I took three roome in thie apartment house, paying $23 a month for them. One of the ‘nduce- ments was a telephone extension in my fooms. It was as muéh a part of the equipment of the house as the gas fixtures, and was in the same manner included in the rent. Just as I was to pay for the gas I used through the fixtures, so I was to pay for the messages I sent through the telephone. I soon learned that the landlord made a profit of from 1% Don’t suffer!

Within an hour I was notified that my April rent would pe $33.56, and on April 1 I received a bill for that sum plus the 60 cents which T had not paid for the use of the tele- phone in March. “Again I declined to pay the tele- phone bill for either month or the $3 increase, which seemed to hava been inflicted as a sort of penalty for my first refusal, The greed of the land- lord was clearly exhibited when I flashed $30 on him.

No repairs of any character have been mede in the last year, the tenant avers, and adds: “Small worms and other vur- min are running around in every room in the building. We would all be willing to pay the increases if the landlord would ¢lean 4 the | place ‘and make necessary repairs.” According to the report of a tenant in the Kingsbridge section one land- Jord has jacked up the rents twice in four months, the first increase being & modest $3 a month as compared with the later boost of $25. The re- sult of these two increases is that apartments which last February brought $27 a month now bring $55, @ Jump of 104 per cent. A Brooklyn mother of three sons who served in the American expe- |), ditionary forces for more than @ year | 4’ says she hired an apartment four months ago for §4 more a month than the former tenant paid, yet now she is compelled to stand another increase of $3 a month. The fact that her sons have just been released from the army deprives her of the protection which the Federal Soldiers and Sailors’ Relief Act would have given to her ‘while they were in service, A Harlem resident reports that all the white tenants of an apartment house in that section have been put out to make room for colored tenants, who can afford to pay more because ten or tngive of them crowd together into a single apartment. Moreover, he says the house has become a pub- llc nutsance because of the nightly revels held there, most of tho occu- pants being @ sort that invite police raids. From Washington Heights comes a report that for five very small rooms in a house kept like a cheap t.ncment, without telephones or electricity, and with wholly inadequate janitor serv- fice, the rents have been raised from $30 a month to $45 in the last year, This means that the eighty tenants pay the landlord $1,200 a month. or far’ the @ year more than they patd for the same apartments with better serviog a ceeeeaiiaaitcinns, ago.
