New Yorker viii Ask Landlords
to Remit Ten Per Cent.
Request Cut Until Expenses Are Less
-Oriqinators of Scheme Hope to
Aid Poor Families and Get
General Reduction.

New York.-A novel charity move
ment which proposes to assist $780,
600 rent-paying families of New York
in their struggle against the high cost
of living has just been inaugurated
by the Tenants union.
The union, which is an organization
devoted to the interests of rent-paying
families of New York, plans to enlist
the aid of the clergy in an effort to
help the poor families of the city by
having landlords remit ten per cent.
of t. 9 rent until the high cost of liv-
ing has been reduced
AS an opening gun in the movement
the organization sent out letters to
clergymen of all denominations outlin-
ing the plan for securing a reduction
in rent to tenants of moderate means
and asking cooperation in enlisting
the proposed army Of landlord-philan-
thropists.
Whether or not the plan to obtain
general reduction of ten per cent
in the rentals of homes for families
allied with the Tenants union is sue
cessful, it is believed that the move
ment will tend to effect reduction in
favor Of poorer families occupying
tenements owned by some Of the
largest estates of New York
The hope for this relies mainly on
the effect which the cooperation of
the clergy is expected to have with
some of the wealthy tenement owners
of the city
As a step toward the solution Of the
problem of the high cost of living,
Mayor Gaynor's market commission
hopes to find some way Of providing
better terminal facilities for handling
perishable produce.
1t is estimated that under the pres
ent docking system there is an an
nual waste of s200,000,000. This is
demonstrated by the report of con-

DOG Is HIS ALARM CLOCK
Bell Tied to Mongrel's Leg Rings
Every Morning at Rising
Time

North Fairmont, O.-Samuel For
sythe believes he has the best dog on
earth, as he does not need an alarm
clock to waken him in the morning
in time for work. His dog which is
only a mongrel, does it for him. For
sythe says the plan has failed only
once in two months.
By careful watching he found that
the dog invariably awakened at about
the same time as it's master. so on
retiring each night he tied a bell to
one of the dogs legs. The dog on
awakening rang the bell until re.
leased.
