TO Cut OFF Coal Supply
Where Landlord Gouges

Gouging landlords will receive
small sympathy from the local fuel
administration next winter, accord
ing to a message received from the
state fuel administration last night
and made public to-day. The mas
sage is to the effect that where a
landlord forces a tenant out of his
house in order that a higher rent
can be secured from another ten
ant, the local fuel administration is
to cut off the supply of coal to that
house.
Such action on the part of the fuel
administration is thought to be the
most effective means of breaking up
the practice of some landlords of
forcing tenants out of their houses
at short notice.
