WINTER AND THE RENT
PROFTTEER.
BY RICHARD sPILLANE.

One of the things a plain. or

Is why with all the laws that have
been enacted through the ages and
that have been added to at every
session OF Congress or Legislature
cover anything that is manifcstly
wrong and that visits hardship on
the multitude
Take. for example. profiteering in
food. 1t is notorious. Ofende RS
laugh at the government. One con-
Germ that does a business Of ap-
proximately $4,000 a day has been
ordered on two occasions to con-
tribute a certain sum TO the Red
Cross for its offenses. but in effect
il is nothing more than telling the
profiteer to put a cent in the poor
bcN for every thousand dollars he
roos from the public.
The rent profiteer is az uncon-
sciOaable as the food prOfteer. What
license there is for raising rents of
houses built long before the war 20

cities. In New York it is announced
5000 persons may have to live in
bungalows near the seashore or in
country places this winter because
they cannot hnd quarters within the
city which arc obtainabl" with the
money they earn.
In Philadelphia 25.000 rent paw
ers have formed an organization and
collected evidence against landlords.
The attorney general OF the State
says he gladly will prosecute the
profiteers if anyone can discover a
law covering real estate gouging.
1t is alleged syndiCates have bought
or leased houses by the wholesale in

the public. but the proof Of this is
lacking.
A supreme court justice in New
York has ordered the sheriff not to

they have made earnest effort to find

raised rents and it has been impOs-
