Unionist Says Shipyards Are Unable to
Fill Ranks Because ot Profi
teering Landlords.
TACOMA. Wash., Aug. 16. (Spe
cial.) Workers are leaving- Tacoma
shipyards to bo to other cities because
they are unable to find homes or
rooms here without paying: extortion
ate rentals.
This was the statement made today
by C. R. Barrett, secretary of the
Metal Trades Council, who declared
that within the last fey days he has
learned of at least six cases where
men have been forced to quit the ship
yards here. Mr. Barrett added that he
is now receiving- from 15 to 20 com
plaints a day against landlords who
have boosted rents from 35 to 40 per
cent.
Captain Blain, representing: the
United States Shipping: Board, declares
the Government has no authority to rem
edy the rent situation in Tacoma, ac
cording to the report made to the
Metal Trades Council meeting: last
niRht by C. M. Kennealy.
In view of this, the council decided
that the only thing: left to do was
for the labor unions and the city to
find a remedy.

HOOD APPLES IN DEMAND
American Slarkets to Vsc Most ol
Newtowns Produced in Valley.
HOOD RIVER, Or.. Aug. 16. (Spe
cial.) While no hope is given to ship
pers for modification of the British
embargo on apples, local sales agencies
expect to dispose at a profitable figure
of Newtowns, which comprise a large
percentage of the Hood River Valley
crop. Newtowns, until the embargo
prevented their export, were sold chief
ly on English markets.
While the English consumer fancied
fruit of small sizes, sals agencies have
been unable to work up a demand for
the smaller eizes in America. This year,
however, the annoyance of disposing of
small-sized Newtowns will be largely
eliminated, since the apples are grow
ing to a large size, and are in demand
for domestic markets.
