TRY TO SCARE TENANTS. Profiteers Are Aiming to Con- tinue Present High Status of Rentals. Senator Charles C, Lockwood to- day declared that the activities of some landlords in trying to override the rent laws are givir® proof that ‘ quiry in the neighbortic the courts would practically put the tenants under the operation of the “trick lease.” This would enable landlords to evade some if not all of the emer- geney | made to protect the ten- ants, Under these notices and leases the landlords concede nothing to the tenants that the tenants cannot com- pel them to give under the laws. Tne tenants have a r to continue in occupancy of the premises at a fair and reasonable rental to be fixed by the court if landiord and tenant can- not nd they do not have to agree to any special “terms and con- ditions” jaid down by the landlords in order to exercise this right. In one paragr notice the tenant is repre: landlord that he has 1 diligent in- and is sat- isfied that the rent of the premises he occupies is just and reasonable and that he will pay tue landlord “such rent as may greed upon on the first day of calendar month that the tenancy may continue.” The tenant is repr nted as waiving any right to compel the landlord to resort to legal process to get possession in the event of a violation of any of the numerous rules and regulations set forth, and as expressly agreeing that the landlord may enter the premises in such event without any legal pro- cess at all and the tenancy shall thereupon end, PLAUSIBLE ADMISSION IN THE NEW LEASE. it may be necessary for the Legis-! | ciation contain !tenant admits t jJature of 1922 to take action. Tenants alarmed by the appearance of a new form of lease sent out by the United Rea! Estate Owners’ As- sociation have appealed to Senator Lockwood and Elmer G. Sammis, legal adviser to the committee. “The courts will not, In my judg- ment, uphold such leases if they ever come up for legal consideration,” Senator Lockwood said after analyz- ing the literature of the association, including a sample of the notice land- lords are advised to send out. “The notice embodies the objection- albe features which, in apparently innocent form, we were urged to have written into the laws, but which we turned down fiatty. “The effect of the notice, if it were pheld, would be to practically set aside the laws which the Legislature | * passed after landlords had sent out about 100,000 dispossess notices last fall, ordering their tenants into the streets, “By the mere serving of such % notice a landlord cannot defeat the will of the Legislature and take away from tenants the protection given to the tenants by law “On the very face of the notice and the trick lease it appears that what the landlords are really trying to do is to scare tenants and make them grateful for a chance to continue the present condition, when rentals should be on the down grade with the fal! in prices of commodities and cost of labor. “There are many ‘For Rent’ sisns displayed about the cily, and these will be pointed to by the landlords to prove that the emergency is over and the laws should not be extended. As a matter of fact, most of the vacan- cies are high priced apartments, far out of reuch of the ordinary citizen. EMERGENCY LAWS GIVE FULL PROTECTION. “Let the tenants be assured that the emergency rent laws now in force will protect them against this and any similar drives by landlords. Such adtivities will prove a boomerang against profiteers.” One of these notices which was submitted to Senator Lockwood states | that the tenancy of the apartment is terminated and that court proceed- ings wi! be started; “but you are ad- vised,” the notice continues, “that you mmy continue as a monthly ten ant of the promisos at the same rent you now are paying, but subject to the following terms and conditions, which are binding upon you as long @s you occupy eaid premises, irre- spective of any change in rent that may be made. ‘The “terms and conditions” embody @ejectionable features of the new { Carus in mets bo omeained by ‘The leases approved by the asso- a clause by which the t the landlord is per cent. on the rty, 21-2 per cent, for man- dilords do entitled to value of his p for depre their own “managing.” ing a rent rms which tenants holding leases a ed to be “fair monthly ten- confronted with a s in the same build- justifying raises in be showing of re ing apparently their own rentals. “This provision would open the door to all sorts of trickery in show~- \ing ‘value’ and ‘depreciation,’ " said iMr. Sammis, “It is typical of what various groups of landlords urged us \to write into the laws.

The map shows population figures of Manhattan, according to the United States Census for 1920, and the nationality in each of the for- mer Assembly Districts having the greatest number residing in the particular area. In arriving at the figures of the predominant nationalities, the natives of Ireland, for example, and those born here having both par- ents born in Ireland were treated as of true Irish stock. Those born here with but one parent born in Ireland are not included in total of liish. Other nationalities are treated in like manner. Where natives are indicated, it means that native born with both parents of native birth are predominant. ‘The natives of Russia are in most cases Hebrews, and consequently the language mostly used in the districts recorded as Russian is Yid- dish, and not Russian. One of the most remarkable facts disclosed by a study of the pop- ulation according to nationalities is that in the districts where Irish predominate, strange to say, there were 16,000 more males than females, In Russian districts there were over 25,000 more males than females, and in the Austrian districts the males exceeded the females by several thousands. The Italian districts had 29,000 more males than females. In the one district where the Germans still have the largest num- ber, the males and females were on a par numerically. In the districts where nalive born of native parentage predominate there were nearly 50,000 more females than males. It is worthy of note that the only districts which showed an increase of population since 1910 weré the districts where the females outnumbered the males. In every instance where the males were greatly in excess of the females the district showed a decrease, snot @® AUSTRIAN. @ RUSSIAN. © GERMAN @QwNnEcRo/G2ZQO POPULATION 19271 COMPILES Br MAY.
