1t was agreed by all the conferees
that one of the most distressing features
OF the whole renting system at present
Is the continuous lacking UP OF rents
without apparent rhyme or reason. In
this connection the story was told OF n
Bronx policeman. who moved into FIVE
rooms about year ago with the under
standing that he as to pay 500 a month.
About five months ago the landlord
raised the rent to sac and the cop didn't
make any objections. thinking he was
getting off easy. Then the landlord
sold the house and three months ago
the new landlord said he would have
to have $40.
The policeman Kicked this time, but
paid rather than go to the trouble of
moving. A month ago the new land
lord came around again and declared he
would have to have s45 a month The
policeman was Indignant this time, but
said he would pay the amount de-
manded provided he could remain undis-
turbed In the house until October / with
no more raising Of rent. This was agree
able, but later tho landlord came around
again and said he would have to have
$55. The COP and the other tenants re-

1t happened that one OF the tenants
induced the landlord to write on his rent
receipt: This rent will not be raised
till October =" and when the case came
up in court the Magistrate held that the
document was a lease in writing" and
the landlord lost
Senator Dunnigan agreed to introduce
in the Senate a bill substantially the
same as one introduced by Assemblynan
Lyons, but which will provide that every
tenancy shall be presumed TO continue
until May /. without a change In rent
or other conditions, unless there Is an
agreement to the contrary in writing be-
tween the landlord and tenant.
1t seemed to be the general opinion OF
all present that landlords, particularly
the landlords Of The Bronx, with whom
they were better acquainted than with
the landlords in other parts, are not so
inclined Ito milk their tenants as the
man who leases q building or apartment
from the owner and proceeds TO do a
little landlording on his own account.
Some OF the Justices said they find
that practically all the trouble comes
through the lessees. or 'leasters.' as
they have come to be known. These
'lessters' take the lease Of an apart
ment. say for year at $4,000, give
security, take over the renting machin-
cry, jack up the rents. say to $500 a
year (there are instances OF these
cases on record). and then proceed to

who will consent to he gouged.
IL was suggested that there should
be legislation limiting the profit to .
reasonable figure and out Of the sug-
gestion came a proposal that bill be
introduced limiting the profit to per
cent, or possibly imposing tax on
all income of leased property above 3
per cent. The opinion was expressed
that the rents themselves be the basis
OF the tax.
County Clerk Callahan characterized
the lea ster" as the "middleman In
rents" He said the ''leaster'' risks
nothing In these times as he knows his
rent is always where he can get II.
The Bronx men will send q delegatio
to Albany on the Empire State express on
Wednesday to appear before the SEM
ate committees and ask them to res
port out the bills which they bellows
should be passed.

BUY SUGAR Now" is
FOOD BOARD ADVICE
Best Way to Be Protected
During Coming Season.

The Food Administration is urging
dealers in refined sugar TO replenish
their stocks now TO insure against the
possibility Of local shortages, particular
ly in the eastern part of the country.
when the demand for canning comes.
1t is pointed out that the demand may
he further accentuated by the expected
increase in sugar consumption and us
products in candy and sweet drinks after
prohibition becomes effective July /.
The Food Administration warning
to buy sugar now Is based in part on
a desire that full supply OF sugar
should become available to home can
ners for preserving this summers fruits.
1t is estimated that the foreign de-
mand for sugar this year will be
$4,000 tons. as compared with $50, 900
tons last year. Already $50, 900 tons
have been contracted for by Europe.
This sugar will go forward in the first
nine or ten months of tho year instead
OF being spread over the entire year.
Ships have already been allocated for
60 par cent. OF the amount.
1.-THE foreign buyers are already TAX
ing steps to insure their getting their
sugar" the official announcement says,
land IL the American local buyers do
not exercise precautions and continue
20 refrain from buying they will ind
themselves unable to get the sugar they
will require during the large consuming
months from June to October ]. since
the relners' ability TO deliver is limited
by their daily capacity which will be
taken TO meet foreign contracts"
Sugar Equalization Board officials are
Of the opinion there Is not any actual
shortage of sugar now and no prospects
Of one. On the other hand, they say,
there is no prospect OF any material
change in price that would Justify mer-
chants in delaying their buying orders
Sugar prices vary from 12 to 10 cents
a pound in Europe. Here the price Is
10 cents pound

LAWRENCE, Mass. April 13.-Acting
at the direction OF Gov. Coolidge the
State Board OF Cancellation and Arbi-
tration will begin tomorrow an investi-
CATION of the strike OF textile workers
here which is entering upon its eleventh
week. Several hundred witnesses are

be made TO the Governor for several
weeks.
Representatives OF the strikers and
mill officials have been asked by the

sentative OF the board saio to-day that
II any OF those requested" to testify
failed to appear subpenss would be
issued.

demand for ffty-four hours pay for q
working week OF forty-eight hours.
Unions affiliated with the American
Federation OF Labor have not partici-
pated and most OF the mills are in
operation.

NAVY ACTION IS MOOTED

The issue ofsfederated unionism IL at
stake to-day in the vote Of 5000 marine
employees Of the United States Railroad
Administration on the question OF
strike to compel the Government to ac-
cede to their demands, which would vir-
ings will be held, and IL the men vote
to strike labor leaders will order tonight
or Tomorrow the complete tieup OF all
barges, lighters, tugs and dock equip
ment owned by the railroads. The
avowed reason for the trouble Ia the
discharge of eighty-four railroad EN-
ployees for refusing to tow certain boats
that had been blacklisted by the union
leaders.
III the strike on railroad owned harbor
craft Is put into effect 1t will stop all
water transportation around New York,
including the majority of the ferries
operating between the Manhattan and
New Jersey and Brooklyn shores, as
the private boat owners, operating ar
other equipment, have refused to meet
demands formulated by the labor unions
when the latter had, in turn, refused
to accede=te the ruling of the National
War Labor Board. 1t Is considered that
there is little likelihood OF a settlement
The Labor Department and the War
Labor Board have failed to bring the
men and the employers together on
terms satisfactory to both sides, and
neither the State nor city government
has offered to lend hand for arbitra-
ton of the dispute. Labor leaders de-
clared yesterday that II would be very
improper for Mayor Hylan to attempt
mediation, inasmuch as a picture had
been taken showing him hobnobbing at
Palm Beach with q boat owner.
The possibility OF the navy comman-
deering all harbor equipment and
operating 1t Is not taken very seriously
In any quarter. although labor leaders
profess to see in that move the grant,
ing of an eight hour day and all their
demands. The only chance of a solu-
ton of the trouble seems to lie in the
action of the workers themselves. II
the proposed strike OF the railroad en-
ployees proves unpopular and there is
only a half-hearted response to the order
Of the labor leaders some agreement
may be reached. The strike, IL there
is strike, is to be under the Marine
Workers Affiliation. of which Thomas
L. Delahunty Is the head. The previous
strike was partly broken up when a
union of tide water boat men, under
the leadership of John Brennan, ignored
the orders of this union and went back
to work under a compromise with the
boat owners by which they obtained
an increase in pay This settlement was
supposed to be permanent, but II Is
understood that leaders Of the marine
workers insist that Brennans union had
no power to make a settlement with
the owners.

"Westoni Hey, there"
Mark, who was sitting at the en-
trance Of the tent which he shared
with five other privates of the Medica:
corps, looked up at the sound Of the
name to which he had grown accus-
toned At the sight of the corporal
who had heiied him, he flung down the
grooveG strip Of metal, known as the
Soldiers friend" with the aid Of
which he had been polishing his but
tons, and hurried obediontly forward.
'The trains in from the base with
the sisters and doctors to meet the
convoy that we're expecting from the
front. Every mans on duty until the
jobs finished. Report 70 the matron
with Hartley"
Mark nodded, and departed at a run
toward the door Of the base hospital,
at which the matron, hdgeting Impa-
tlently, was awaiting the assembling
of the orderlies.
It was war, and the echoes OF the
far distant guns were all about them
daily, though war had never passed
that way.

"Ah. now recognize you." said the
strange voice in a merry ripple of
laughter. "And you don't know who
I amp
eff you win state your name" be-
gan Mark patiently.
Someone who knows that you are
In trouble and wants to help you. I'm
afraid you won't let me. You seemed
to be prejudiced against me when we
met before. Well, am Ada HENSON"
Mark uttered an angry exclamation,
which he instantly checked. This
might prove the key that he was seek
ing.
"Come to my house at nine o'clock
tonight, unless you are afraid. You

1t had been in Marks mind to look

swered crisply. and hung up the re-
ceiver.
He consoled himself with the refiec-
ton that he had. at least, nothing to
lose He waited calmly for the ap-
pointment, and arrived outside the

of Hartley in the neighborhood.

something sensational. He was aston
ished beyond his expectation, however,
by Mrs. Kenson's next words.
"Your long and distasteful stay in
the West, Captain Wallace. was not
wholly the fortune of the military
