critics that the allies may be pre-
pairing for an offensive In the

Since the Italo-serbIan offensive Of

resulted In the recapture Of Monastir
by the serbians. there has been little
or no lighting on the Macedonian
front.

lery and infantry activity along the

"out Of 1oe cases referred to-"
says the report, IS were reported as
either in poor condition or as show
ing no appreciable amount spent on
repairs in the last year. Il was en-
tirely clear to the members of the
commission IN many Of the rents that
they inspected that any claim that
high rent should be justinea by high
cost OF repairs, was an absurdity. be-
cause the repairs did not appear.
Increase ~ Per Cent.
The commission found, as a matter
Of fact. that IN the tenements found
In fairly good condition, the Increase
in rent was 7s per cent; but In the
tenements where no substantial re-
pairs appeared or where the condi-
ton was bad, the average increase in
rents was IS per cent. In other words,
the worse the condition of the prop
erty the more the patriotic" land
lord had soaked the tenantl
The landlords further claimed that
the 1913 rentals were abnormally low
and the comparison therefore unfair,
but the commission fortunately had
accurate figures which showed that
the average for Waterbury in 1916,
% per room, was much higher than
onciaI figures compiled for the State
in 1872. 50 the landlords were caughl
lying again.
The commission Is careful to state
O--S . AAAAoAAIy VI Ln6 I4nQiOrCS
In Waterbury have been guilty of this
extortionate profiteering.
The commission recommended that
the names Of landlords who prof.
teered be published broadcast; It
recommended also a modification of

let q workman have three months To

landlord decided to dump his family

mended Federal action. It suggested
that landlords might be prosecuted

provides that 'it Is hereby made un-
