Urges Lessees to Enforce
Salisbury Law.

All leases continue and all rent
increases are barred Is the message
of the District Council OF Defense
to all tenants of Washington.
"Profiteering in rent increases
daily" said Edwin 8. Hege, Secre-
tary OF the District Council and
manager of the room registration
bureau OF that organisation.
'.As September approaches when
most of the leases OF the District
run out, there is a perfect epidemic
OF rent pronteering.
I'VE. are sending our q synopsis
of the Salisbury law to every
apartment house tenant and every
other renter We know of. Thous-
ands have been sent out. II we can
only make people realize that they
can not be forced to move to pay
more rent we will have won the
battle.
I'VE urge the people of the Dis
trict to stand pat on their rights.
A written or verbal agreement
made on or prior to May a.. 1918.
stands to the end of the war. Each
tenant should offer the monthly
rent he has paid heretofore for the
premises promptly when II Is due.
Landlords Misquoting Progress.
Some landlords have been rep
resenting that Congress has author
lied a percentage increase In rent.
But Congress has done absolutely
nothing OF the sort.
There is no law authorizing
landlords or agents to increase the
rent as much as one dollar per
month.
IF the landlord refuses the old
rent when 1t is profered the tenant
should say that he will hold 1t sub
ject to order. The next month he
should offer the rent for two
months and so on.
Several Of the so-called high
class apartment houses are notify
ing their tenants that increases are
to be collected September 1. Such
landlords or agents should be re-
ported to the District Council at
once. The Council will gladly ad-
wise them as to their rights and the
time may soon be ripe when 1t will
be desirable to give publicity to
such would-be profiteers.
The Councils Synopsis.
The synopsis sent out by the
council reads:

The world and his wife responded
to the 8. o. 8. and sent the leaky

that was gathering dirt In the cellar.
The plan OF the committee Is to
gather the material, crate 1t and,

dollars are realized for the Red

Division of the American Red Cross.
Mrs. Carlin is now in Washington

for the Red Cross" said Mrs. Car

Starting with a collection of tim

in all its ramifications, followed
naturally: now anything that has
ever been used or that can ever
be used again either in its present
form or in any other form, is soon
on its way to France in the form Of

he tells of the very beautiful sur
roundings in which the hospital is To-
