Hurley Gives Orders to Keep Little
Industries Going.

Nonessential industries are get

man. Edward N. Hurley. He ha s
opposed the agitation to close nom

The board has established a
bureau in Chicago to seek out the

How careful a survey of available
factories has been made by the
board in this service was revealed
in the statement that orders are

works that can turn out no more
than one or two boilers a month.

multitude of small factories and

VOTE TODAY ON
BILL AGAINST
RENT RAISING
Senate VIII Probably Pass
Anti-Pro6teering
Measure.

Provided that none of the mem
bers OF the Senate have a fall cam
paign speech handy. the Pomerene-
johnson anti-profiteering rent bill
will reach q vote in the Senate to-
day and pass.
The measure would have gone to
a vote yesterday afternoon had not
the Senate Jumped the track" and
|talked politics. Senator Pomerene
asked that the bill be considered
right after the close of the morn
ing session and was permitted to
go ahead with his measure after
persuading Senator Bankhead to
sidetrack the postoffice appropria-
ton bill.
Little Opposition.
That the Senate will pass the
measure Is assured because SO far
1t has encountered scarcely any
opposition. Every Senator who SO
far has made any comment at all
on the bill is in favor of its pass
ing. the quicker the better.
Members of the House do not ap-
pear, however. to feel that this bill
will pass this session. The Sauls-
bury resolution. an emergency
measure designed to alleviate con-
ditions until the Johnson-Pomerene
bill Is passed. was amended in COM
mittee yesterday morning SO as to
apply for one year after the war in
lieu Of when Congress adjourns this
summer.
The Senate bill may be amended
several times before 1t goes to the
House District Committee for ac-
tion. but not so as to take the
teeth out, It Is believed.
The discussion in the Senate on
the bill yesterday was confined
mostly to Senators salisbury and
Pomerene. who were kept busy ex-
planning the measure to the Senate
and pleading for its quick passage.
More than 1000 compaints, Sen.
ator Pomerene stated, had been re-
ceived by a captain in the War De-
partment from government en-
ployes who already were or are
about to be victims of unscrupu-
lous landlords, threatening to eject
them unless they agreed to rent
the premises they already occupied
at anywhere from IS to 50 per cent
increased price.
One amendment. offered by Sem
ator McCumber. but which has not
yet been voted on. will remove
from the bill a section which may
! be called the Joker" 1t is that
section which permits a so per cent
/ increase in the rental of unfurnish-
ed rooms converted into furnished
rooms.
Unfair Advantage Taken.
i Many landlords. Senator McCum-
Der stated. would take advantage oi
this opportunity" and put in lot
90 cheap furniture and charge ten
ants 50 per cent more for the rooms
without really giving them any
thing for their money. 1T is a fine
opportunity" he said, "for an eva.
sion of the law, because already ]
have received complaints from the
tenants Of certain apartment
house stating that their landlord
had given them notice to move and
that he is going to rent the apart
ments furnished instead of unfur-
nished at an increase OF 50 per
cent. Fifty per cent more for fur
nished rooms than for unfurnished
rooms Is all right where the furni-
ture is made of gold and studded
with diamonds. In that case they
may raise the rent all they want
to-"
Many Senators. while they decry
the necessity for such a law. are
satisfied to vote for 1t, believing
that some drastic action is necessary
in the matter.
