An investigation Of tho situation re-
vealed by his experience shows that
for the last two months not only have
all the available houses in Philadelphia
been let and crowded. but also that the
hotels. apartment houses and boarding
houses have been jammed to the doors.
That the homes and boarding houses
are overcrowded has been known for
some time and the cause is also well
understood. says the Philadelphia
Record. 1t has been because of the
influx of workmen to Philadelphia by
the tens of thousands to work in the
new shipyards and munitions plants
But why are the hotels overcrowded?
The answer was furnished by the
hotels. THE coal shortage" was one

delphia. He will not tell you who they
are. but his income returns will show

have big houses in the city or in the
suburbs. Well, they still have their
houses. but their coal is gone and they
cannot get it any more than the folks
who have been raiding cars down on
Washington avenue the last few days
By using the influence Of their wealth
they might be able to get one little ton,
mostly slate. as coal is now, but whats
one ton to a thirty-room house on the
brow OF hill along the main line, with
wastefui % servants? Nothing at all:

into the hotels to live. Not few OF
them, but literally hundreds. And they
all want suites-par1or, dining room.
