Suggestion by Senator Thomas.
LOCKED FROM ROOMS,
! WAR WORKERS CLAIM

Many complaints from war workers
that they have been locked out of
rooms by their landlords have reached
the United States attorneys office. Mr..
Laskey has assigned Assistant United
States Attorney Glenn Willett. to the
office of Capt. julius I. Peyser, in
charge of the housing commission of
the War Department. to Investigate
such complaints.
Mr.. Willett will examine the evil
dence presented. and if the action of
the "profiteering" landlord brings him
within the purview of section S51 of
the Criminal Code of the District of
Columbia, United States Attorney
Laskey says. vigorous prosecution
may be expected.
Tho Salisbury resolution, which
Irprotects tenants. is not criminal leg
1slation. and the only way profiteer-
ing can be reached criminally, it is
eaid, is by violation of the section
quoted, which refers to forcible entry
and detainer.
The code section reads:
whoever shall forcjbly enter upon
any premises or having entered with
out force shall unlawfully detain the
same by force against any person
previously in the peaoeable possess
sion OF the same and claiming right
thereto shall be punished by impriS-
Onment for not more than one year

both"

SENATE MS|STSON
) RENT AMENDMENT
Votes to Retain D. c. Prof.
b. iteering Clause in Agri-
culture Bill.

The Senate, without a dissenting
vote, yesterday afternoon determined
to insist further upon it's amendment
to the emergency agriculture appro-
priation bill to prevent profiteering
in rents in the District of Columbia.
1t agreed to the conference report on
the remainder of the bill.
Senators Jones of Washington.
Salisbury of Delaware, Kenyon of
Iowa and Thomas of Colorado de-
nounced rent profiteers in the Dis
trict and declared that it was impera-
tive some relief legislation be enacted.
They pointed out that owing to the
strained relations which have arisen
between the Senate and House be-
cause of the remarks made by Rep
resentative Ben Johnson of Kentucky,
charging that the Senate had passed
a rent profiteering bill in the inter-
ests of the landlords and real estate
dealers. there seemed no prospect for
this legislation unless the rider at
tached to the emergency agriculture
appropriation bill is enacted into law.
Senator Kenyon's Comments.
Senator Kenyon, discussing the sit
uation with regard to the rent prof.
iteering amendment, said:
"Cnfortunately remarks made by
members of the House offended the
Senate conferees. probably rightful-
ly so, and the House conferees on
any action on this matter is slap
in the face of the chairman of the
District of Columbia committee in
the House There we stand in this
boyish, silly attitude: because some
body is APins to be offended either IN
of the District must submit to these
injustices. 1t is not right or fair or
decent.
II do not mean to indulge in criticism
of the conferees at all. They are all
l.igh minded men and desirous of doing
what is right, but they are placed in a
difficult position by the unfortunate sit
nation which We have gotten into over
this bill as relates to the District OF
Columbia committee. I believe il it is
sent back to conference. and if the Sen
ate conferees are willing 10 stand firmly
ty the proposition of doing something
on the rent provision. We can get some
thing ACCOMPLISHED and that we ought
to do. We will be recreant to our duty
IF we neglect this opportunity to relieve
the people of this District"
Promises to Insist.
Senator Gore. in charge of the bill as
chairman of the Senate confereeS, said
tho managers on the part of the Sen
ate would do their best to get the
House conferees to consider the rent
profiteering amendment and to accept
= it He pointed out, however, that war
time prohibition, provided also by a
rider on the emergency agriculture ap-
preparation bill, might be jeopardized
if there was 4 long controversy be-
tween the houses over thei rent
profiteering amendms MT of the Senate.
Suggestion by Senator Thomas.
Senator Thomas of Colorado. demo-
crat. called on the prohibition advo-
Gates to suggest a method by which
the deficiency in revenues can be met
after July l. when it is proposed to
make wartime prohibition effective.
This should be done Immediately
Senator Thomas said, so that the sub
Stitute may be submitted to che finan
committee before it reports the eight
lbillion-dollar revenue bill to the Sem
ate.

STRONG ARGUMENT FOR
| FOURTH LIBERTY BONDS
BY I. A, FLEMING.

Fourth liberty loan bonds are one
of the most excellent investments for
individuals. partnerships and corpora
tions. Even though the rate is ap-
parent1y low, ~ per cent, the bonds
up to $4,000 are tax free, and the re-
turns are better than those of other
bonds yielding higher interest which
are subject to taxation. This privilege
will be even more valuable after the
adoption Of the new revenue bill, max
ing higher assessments on all incomes.
The first 3hs are selling at or close
to par. a little above today, because
they are all tax free, save Inheritance
tax.
The yield on the 4As to moderate
investors will be much better than the
tax-free returns on the 3hs.
In the stabi1izing movement, all
liberty loan issues have been given
certain tax-free features that have
given them stability and made the
market frmer.
An investment of $4,000 in fourth
liberty bonds paying ~ per cent is Is
equivalent to an investment In bonds
yielding $50 per cent, and that. are
subject to the -impost of the sched-
uled taxes.
No matter how large the invest
ment or how small, there is an ad-
vantage to the liberty issues that Is
worth while and that, some time
after the war, will almost guarantee
their advance over par.

SOME SHARES STRONGER
MARKET RATHER SLOW!

NEW YORK, October 4-The bear
element on the stock exchange is do
ing everything in it's power to further
German empire would mean a tenn
porary halt in prosperity of American
industry, while bankers and business
men generally hold a different view
and believe that reconstruction and
the resumption of activities side
tracked to make way for war work
will keep the wheels turning to the
large employment of labor. 1t is true.
many corporations that shifted the
utensils of peace for the machinery to
produce war supplies will have to
liquidate assets which will not be re-
quired in their business in the days
Of peace.
Changes in First Hours Slight.
Net changes in the first two hours
of business were not especially impor-
diately attending the opening, but
these were largely recovered in the
first half of the second hour. save for
a point decline on Bethlehem B, y on
Crucible Steel and small losses on
minor stocks.
There were gains. of q on Atlantic,
Gulf and West Indies, ~ on Mercan-
tile Marine preferred, and Mexican
Petroleum held a point of two-point
advance.
Steel common started the day with
q drop of a point to 1854 from an
opening at 109as, and then came back
to 100.
There was little more doing in the
rails. but they were generally slow,
and the changes were of small conse-
quence.
