CONTROL OF RAW MATERIAL.
Chief After-War Business Problem
Now n oIdino British Attention.

London. Oct. 29.---tBy MaiD The af-
ter-war businecs problem receiving the
most important attention at present IN
En- gland is that o. the control OF raw
materials and shipping. says a state-
ment issued by the American Chamber
Of Commence in Londen. 1t adds:
Detailed studies Of sources ana
methods of control and distribution are
being made but there does not yet APP
pear to be agreement on the general
principles of control. On the one hand
powerful interests are urging immed!-
ate cooperation between Great Britain,
France and the United states for the
formation of world control which
will, at the appropriate time, be able
to distribute raw materials as seems
best. On the other hand some are
pointiug out that such action would
in principle be contrary to President
Wilson's policy of no economic COM
biration within the league Of nations.
world arrangements are already
being made with the sanction and even
the assistance Of the British govern
ment in re gard to oil and metals, while
shipping plans change or develop daily.
The American Chamber of Commerce in
London has urged commercial bodies
in America to consider the entire sub
ject."

Lawyers representing the Greater

ploycd in successful strikes in Brook

INDIVIDUAL landlords to hoist a white
flag, lower rents, provide hot water and
promise heat.
Inspired by the success reported by
the legal representatives Of the ten

endorsed with cheers and stamping OF
feet letter calling on President Will
son to recognize that rented homes are
as much public utility as railroads
and requesting him to initiate legisla.
ton providing. for the creation Of a
commission with full power to fix
rentals Of homes. The letter follows:
"The matter of increased rents has
been brought frequently to your at
tentlon from many sections of the
country. Landlords are taking advan.
tage OF war conditions to increase rent
charges TO their tenants to point far
beyond their ability to pay Since the
need OF shelter is absolute and funda
mental, there Is vital and immediate
need Tor some government action that
snail protect the tenants and curb the

You make the utmost use of your off
clal and personal position and expert
ence to have legislation enacted that
shal! put the matter Of rents in the
hands Of government commission
which shall fix rates and terms which
1t shall have power to enforce and to
prevent any increase, except in accord
ance with its schedules.
I'VE believe the renting of homes is
just as much public utility as rail
roads. and should not be subject to the
whims of private owners.
1--WE also request that laws and ordi.
nances be enacted that shall assure the
tenants adequate heat and all other
necessary comforts.
I'VE feel, particularly in war time
when so many thousands of American
families are giving their children and
their treasure to the nation, that thei,
homes, their lives, their health mus,
receive from the nation, the state and
the municipality protection against pri.

Copies of this letter were also ad
dressed to Governor Whitman anc
Mayor Hylan.
Morris Gisnet told how "tenan.
strikes" have been won in The Bronx
and Joseph Klein told Of similar sue
cessful ventures in Brooklyn.
