employed in holding young woman, of
course to keep her from falling out, but
under the circumstances it is more or

it is more or less embarrassing to others
to have to witness these amatory ex-

TO GOMPERS PARTY
Halls Labor Leader as Inter-
prefer of u. S. War Thought.

PARIS, Sept. 25.--In greeting Samuel
Gompers and the other American labor
leaders at luncheon In the Ministry OF
Foreign Affairs to-day. Stephen Pichon.
the Foreign Minister. said he saluted
Nj Gompers as the agent OF the great
working democracy OF the United States
which knew SO well how TO Join its high
conception of patriotic duties with the
action It Judged necessary for the de-
fence OF Its social claims
The Foreign Minister also saluted Mr..
Gompers as the infiexible Interpreter OF
the thought which determined the United
states to intervene in the conflict for
the liberation OF the world and to push
to the maximum the utilization Of all its
resources to destroy the Prussian mill
tary caste and establish an international
reign Of peace. right and justice
Like President Wilson and ourselves. &"
NJ. Pichon continued, MIR. Gompers sees
the possibility OF attaining the goal for
which millions OF men are sacrificing
their lives only in the victory OF our
arms. Like US he rejects all idea OF
weakness or compromise toward auto
cratic governments, with whom he de-
ciines to negotiate until the enemy de-
clares himself defeated"
After referring 20 the great army from
the new world which is covering itself
with glory on the battlefeids of France,
the Foreign Minister concluded:
What we admire in to-day's guests
Is that their work and patriotism, clear
sightedness and courage, practical good
sense and ideals are Joined with devotion
TO the hottest cause-working democracy
and its future OF emancipation, power
and liberty"

N. Y. TENANTS LEAGUE
APPEALS TO WILSON
Wants Legislation Regulating
Rents of Homes.

The Greater New York Tenants
League met last night in Cooper Union.
A. II. Rowland, chairman OF the meet
ing, offered for ratification a letter to be
forwarded to President Wilson, Gov.
Whitman and Mayor Hylan demanding
better living conditions for the tenants
of New York city. A standing vote was
taken and the members were unanimous
in their desire to have the letter for
warded to the officials. The letter reads
in part:
1.-THE matter OF increased rents has
doubtless been brought frequently 10
your attention. In many sections OF the
country landlords have been taking ad-
vantage of war conditions to increase
rent charges TO their tenants to a point
far beyond their ability to pay. Since
the need OF shelter is absolutely funda-
mental there Is vital and immediate need
OF some Government action that shall
protect the tenants and curb the profiteer-
Ing landlord.
THE Tenants League OF Greater New
York In mass meeting assembled in his
toric Cooper Union on Wednesday eve
ming. September 25, 1918. respectfully
urge upon you that you make the utmost
use OF your official and personal position
and experience to have legislation en-
acted which shall fix rates and terms
which II shall have power TO enforce. and
to prevent any increases in rent charges
except in accordance with this schedule.
We believe that rented homes are as
much a public utility as railways and
should not be subject to the whlms OF
private owners

league has between 10000 and 100000
