at the railroad administration today.
Despite persistent requests of the two

the two lines should be subject to
Federal direction because of war de-
mands upon them.
The railroad administrations de-
cision to keep these roads has occa-
stoned a new outbUrst from other

FOOD PROF|TEERING
AVO|DABLE, VIEW
OF BEN JOHNSON

Chairman Ben Johnson, of the House
District Committee, today said that II
his bill to allow Government en-
ployes to make purchases at com
missary stores had been passed by
Congress, much of the complaint here
about profteering in foodstuns and
other necessaries would have been
stopped.
"The House would not pass my
BILL" said Mr.. johnson, "and at pres
ent see no legislative way to reach
the situation. It will have to be left
to the Food Administration, which is
evidently able and willing to deal
with it."
Mr.. Johnson is keenIy interested in
the subject OF pronteering In food
stuffs, just as he Is in pronteertng In
rents. He continues to receive many
complaints, he said today, about
profiteering in rents.
THE game of many of the land
lords now," said Mr.. Johnson, els to
try to drive tenants out by Ahreaten-
ing not to furnish heat unless they
pay more rent.
The public ought to be warned
about scheme some of the landlords
have Of getting tenants to take out
new month to month leases subse-
quent to the time the Salisbury reso-
luton went into effect They win 60
to the tenant, say that perhaps they
have been charging too much, and
offer a reduction In rent under . new
monthly lease. Then, when the
month Is out, they will GUST the ten
ant, who under the new leAse. made
after the Salisbury resolution went
into effect, has no protection"
Onus on Landlord.
Mr.. johnson has written a letter to
a woman in the District who has
complained that her landlord has
threatened to deprive her Of heat unt
less she pays more rent. In this let
ter Mr.. johnson advises his inquirer,
first, to consult a lawyer. Then he
proceeds to lay down the law as he
interprets II, and says the landlord
Is paid for occupancy, heat, and
water, and must furnish them; that
the landlord Is trying to defeat the
law by indirect and Illegal methods,
and that the landlord Will be liable
in damages for failure to furnish
heat
In case of loss OF health or death
of any OF the tenants family. due to
failure to furnish heat, Mr.. johnson
points out, the landlord will be liable
for damages. Nor would a court
compel the tenant to pay for heat II
it were not furnished.

Sims Opposed.

Chairman Sims is opposed to the
Sexcess cost" feature of the bill and
also to a provision which would
appropriate $500, 100000 as a revolv-
ing fund with which to carry out the
purposes Of the act. He believed the
bill could be passed much more quick
ly II expenditures were merely au-
thorized, leaving II to the House
Appropriations Committee to furnish
the money as required.
Sims will attempt to convert the
bill into an amendment to the water
power leasing bill now before the
House, as a means Of carrying through
the leasing bill more speedily under
the guise of an emergency measure.
The Washington times., 1918-08-02
WOULD PERMIT.
THE PRESIDENT.
TO ACT AS HE.
THINKS BEST.

Emergency legislation to meet the
present power shortage in the East.
which is hampering many war indus
tries, including shipbuilding, will be
asked by the Administration as soon
as Congress reconvenes.
A bill authorizing the President to
take over, construct extend, and
operate power plants and transmits
sion lines, drawn by the War Indus
tries Board, was placed in the hands
OF Chairman Sims, Of the House In.
terstate and Foreign Commerce Com
mittee, today.
Under the bill 1t Is proposed to con-
struct huge power generating plants
Immediately at the mouths OF coal
mines, where waste from the mines
and culm of comparatively little
value could be utilized in the genera
ton of power. The power could be
transmitted over high tension wires
to any industry within a radius of
300 miles of the mines.
To Utilize Dams.
It is proposed also to utilize various
dams already constructed by the Gov
eminent for purposes Of navigation.
principally in Ohio, Minnesota, and
Arkansas, for the generation of
hydro-electrie power.
The bin, as drawn by the War In
dustries Board, would permit the
President to stimulate power pro-
duction by furnishing to various COM
panies the "eXcess cost" Of extend
ing already existing plants. This
would, in effect, be a Government
subsidy for power plants.
