NEW YOltK, Juno 2!. Over 110,
OtJO runilliea aro now involved In the
fight UKuliiBt tho pronteorlni? land
lord In New York. ISoth sides are
thoroly orKiinlzcd. Tho BtrugKlo Ik
to be fou Klit to a finish.
Samuel Orr, lawyer and city a
nomhlymiui, i the principal legal ad
visor for tho o)pro8sed tenants; IJor
nard I)euth Is president of the
"landlords' trust."
"We are fioliiK to win this flBlit,"
said Orr today, "If tho tenants will
etlck together. The only tlittiB the
landlords can do will ho to start tho
wholesale eviction of SO, 000 families,
which would rival the present flliiht
of French refugees before tho Gor
man armies.
Started Imh Winter
"Kalllnj; federal action to protect
householders, wo Intend to flBht this
unpatriotic robbing ourselves.
"We aro going to show what ten
ants In other parts of the country can
do If thoy will only slick together."
The rent clash started last winter.
JIany apartment houses were with
out heat. In a number of cases, ac
cording to Orr, tho landlords had coal
In their cellars. Tho tenants bought
Sim stovos, electric heaters and coal
and deducted tho cost ($2 to $3)
from tho rent. A fow landlords saw
the falrnoss of. these deductions and
allowed them, but the majority Insti
tuted dispossess proceedings.
Kor two or llireo months tho mu
nicipal courts In the llronx borough
woro busy trying hundreds of those
casos a day.
Tenant's hmMios woro organlzec,
ho members paying 2.r. cents u month
in dues, tho leagues furnishing attor
neys In case of trouble.
lx'SKllcs Organized
The law of summury proceedings Is
contained in Ibo codo of civil proce
duro, and under tho terms of this the
Judges wero helpless to glvo the ton-
untM roller. , u j
The tonants of 1102 and II mi
University iivunro, tho Itronx, recent
ly raised a big rumpus over a fur
ther boost In their rents. Last Jan
uary tho owner threatened Increases.
The tonants arranged a conferenro
with tho owner who agreed not to
rnlao rents while unable to provldo
lioat. Tho "happy day" was post
poned until May, when the runts wero
raised $.r, t "nil $!) higher. This
was on apart men t renting from $2r
to a month,
'IViiunlx on Strike
Tim tenants went on strike.
Tho owner look "holdover proceed
ings." After receiving a dispossess
notice a tenant may remain In his
apartment If ho pays tho overdue
rent Into court; tho landlord Is com
polled to aeeepl It. In case of "hold
over proceedings" ho landlord tries
to get the tenant out, rent or no rent
Tho cuses went to court, but ten
nuts got short shrll't from Judge
reter Shell, who said ho had "no sym
pathy for tenants." Attorney On
put up a keen fight, Inn the best bu
could do for tho tenants was three
( days' grace tu find other acrommoda
tions. Finally 15 moved away from
tho two houses.
All New York Is watching with the
keonest Interest this llronx war on
war-proriteeilng landlords.

nation of a hum list of general off I
cors to fill vacancies In the expanding
army Is evpeilid at an early date.
In piosenllng a previous list, General
JIanh, the chief of staff, .-.hewed a
tendency to apply the selective sys
tem without any regard whatever to
Botilority. He apparently picked nut
officers from his knuwlcdgo i,r ihelr
fitness for the pnsltou to which he
wlFhcd 1o assign them.
It la probable General l'ershliig,
In making his selections for the over
eiias forces, has Ignored the seniority
rule also. When tho last list came
out tho fact that the war department
had applied selection absolutely,
. wlillo (ioneral Pershing had followed
another policy, Is understood to have
caused sumo correspondence.
