NEW Y.pjtrh-, "March 17 New York
Lirrucing the worst housing crism
ita hisUry. Apartments 'are virtu
ally unobtainable. Three hundred thou
sand persons enough to fill 75,000
more apartments than are available
are crowded into the city to swell ita
normal number of home renters. The
causes are:
The building of new apartments to
keep pace with the growing popula
tion has been virtually suspended for"
two or three years.
j Sixty thousand families, or about
200,000 persons, have moved here,
some to await the return of soldiers
Fifty thousand are kept here on
government worker as agents of for
eign interests. Another 50,000 have
'come through the usual channels of
migration.
Kvery new hotel is filled before the
ileeorators are through,
W. A. Robertson, chief inspector of
the tenement house department, be
lieves a serious situation next autumn
can be averted only by the execution
of some comprehensive housing plan
to be undertaken by the city or federal
government.
Federal Control Fails.
A group of unhappy commuters
was sitting in a b tailed train out on
the Jersey meadows the othei; morn
ing. The quarrel of the harbor boat
operators and their employes had
again left us without ferry service.
Why doesn't Uncle Sam operate the
ferries, too, and stop this foolishness :
demanded ono irritated passenger.
'Humph!" grunted another, draw
ing u typewritten sheet from his pock
et. ''I used to believe in government
operation, too, till 1 read that."
It was a summary in which Julius
Kruttschnitt, president of the South
ern 1'ncific compnny, in his testimony
before the senate committee on inter
stnto commerce had packed the re
suits of the final nine months of rail
road operation under private operation
and the first none months under gov
ernment operation into a convenient
nutshell, as follows:
1. A larger volume of freight traf
fie handled under private control than
H the, some JFVw .under government
ontrol, ('',':
2. Under private control the larg
est volume of freight traffic ever
handled in any one month.
X Loaded car mileage 7.5 per cent
larger than under government control
4. Greater number of londed can
per train than under goveiiment con
trol. .
5. Miles run per locomotive per
day 7.2 per cent higher than under
government control.
G. Miles run per freight car pel
day G.l per cent higher than under
government control.
7. The physical condition of tft
freight locomotives better than under
government control.
8. The condition of freight carp
equally as good as under government
control.
''That converted me," said the own
er of the typewritten sheet, "so I had
a set of copies made and hand out onr
every ttme I hear the suggestion that
home
hWving attended school" W?re the pasf
