Strike at Landlords.
The German government will ask
tho relchstag for $1,250,000, to con
tinue tho work of building homos to
be occupied rent free by civil em
ployes.. The Berlin Landlords' asso
ciation recently appealed to tho gov

Berlin are without tenants. The pro
test was not heeded, the govern
ment's position being that It Is cheap
er to provide houses tree or rent than
to Increase salaries sufficiently to
meet the prices of tho combination of
Berlin landlords, wnicli amounts
nearly to a trust.
