What Bryant Suit Means

| To the Editor Of the Ercnin0 Public Ledger:
Sir--l desire to call your attention to
an Incorrect report of the proceedings
brought by William Bryant against the
| Tenants Protective Association con-
tanned in your issue of August %, 1919.
This Is suit to enforce the per
fOrmHnce of an agreement made by the
representatives of the association and
which they declined to carry out, by
the terms Of which the tenants should
| pay the old rent up to August /, 1919,
whereupon new leases would be given
them for a period of eight months from
that date, or a period Of one year from
the time the dispute arose. The in
crease of rent from August l, 1919,
was from $15 to S1S on the smaller
houses and from $40 to $25 on the
larger ones, and no one familiar
with the situation can dispute the fact
that this increase is reasonable one
under the present increase Of taxes and
costs of repairs nor can any one point
to any houses of n similar kind in that
neighborhOOd or in the city at large,
leased for less than Bryant's houses AT
the increased rental. Out of 2SI ten
ants in this operation only about
seventy five made any protest. All the
others have been paying the increased
rent and COncede that it is reasonable
A test case was made on two of the
tenants, and the Court of Common
Pleas No. 4. after the taking of testi
mony and hearing the cases on thu
merits. decided both cases in favor o.
Bryant. Appeals were taken from these
decisions and motion to quash then
was made on the ground that the leases
waived the right of appeal. One of the
appeals was dismissed, and the Other
held open until the fall term of court
so that the testimony could be examined
to determine whether the lease had beer
abrOgated.
inclosc copy of the bill in equity
which will show you that after agreeing
to settle on the terms above indicated
by paying the old rent to August l
1919, and the delivery of new lease
for period of eight months, the repre-
sentativcs of the association declined t.
carry out the arrangement, and mad
the unreasonable demands contained il
the inclosed letter from Richard T. Nc
Sorley.
As Mr.. Bryant has been very un
fairly criticized in this matter, | wisl
you would give this information tn,
same publicity as you have used in th
publication of the article of which
complain. Very truly yours,
G. Won PHUL JONES.

"Rise" Rises AGAIN

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir--It seems to me that the argu
ment relative to the use of the words
rise" and "raise" as applied to an
increase of compensation is matter
Of tweedledum and tweedledee, ac-
cordng to DR.. w. l.. Sacrey, if the in
coming tide causes the boat to rise
then it gets ''rise' if the boat is
raised by the incoming tide then il
gets a raise.
1t is simply a verb used as a noun
Of which there are very many exam
Piles. The expression getting raise
is merely colloquial and should be
judged from that standpoint. The more
one searches the intricacies of the Eng
lish Language the more ''Gucer" things
one will find. Il. II. ATKINSON.

Backs Moore as a Worker

TO The Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger.
Sir--During the strenuous forty or
more years of agitation for prohibition,
l have not publicly advocated any Re
publican or Democrat for office, but to-
day, feel impelled to say that. having
been in the deeper waterway work since
1904, have had opportunity to know
and cheerfully bear testimony to the
efficient service rendered by J. Hampton
Moore for the interest of the public
along the Atlantic seaboard, and |
honestly believe that he has done more
than any man in his party for the
commercial welfare of the people of the
Atlantic states. 1t seems to me that
everything that he goes into he does so
with a spirit of determination to con-
uuer all obstacles, and when he sets out
to abolish abuses he will be thorough
in his work.

Philadelphia, August %.
"Hlck" Asks Some ouestior.

10 INC Editor Of the Evening Public Lrdoer.
SRI have just gotten back from
overseas and have run against a pretty
knotty question. so / thought maybe
you could help me figure it out. Here
it is:
why should the government pay the
rallroaders good money ranging from
HlUo to $500 in back pay when they
talked as if the $50 bonus paid to us
whcn they were through with us would
break them up?
VINO ever heard a word from us about
not getting enough pay? When think
that those Liberty bonds I paid for out
oil that $50 month may go to buy
touring cars for railroaders instead of
tractors to help us fellows, it makes me
t""I sort of downright disgusted.
