CRITICISE BALTIMORE HOTELS

spite of the assurances of Robert
Grain. chairman Of the Baltimore con-
vention committee, that hotel rates will
not be raaGed In Baltimore during the
national Sonvention, Trey Woodson,
secretary>sof the democratic national COM
mittee. insists that complaints of ex-
Orbitant n rates are almost general
among members of the national commit
tee.''
When informed of Mr.. Grains state
ment Mr.. WOodson sad:
Il wish to deny that my complaint
against Baltimore hotel rates was based
upon treatment of myself. for the Ken
lucky delegation alone. This complaint
is almost general among members Of the
national committee Of exorbitant rates.
Baltimore hotels cannot deny they signed
an agreement not to raise rates, and the
proof is abundant that the contracts
they are exacting of members of the ma
tional committee show they have raised
rates outrageously. I ask Mr.. Grain to
produce these contracts. Let US have
the proof / deny that Mr.. Grain, though
he has been very kind in trying to do
40. succeeded in getting for Kentucky or
any other state so far as I am advised
a reasonable rate.
