Representatives Of the Amalsama-
ted Association OF Street and Elec-
trio Railway Employees presented
demands for a 5O-per- cent increase.
They received in reply a long state
ment. read by President William II.
Ham. setting forth. in the first
place, that it would be Impossible
to grant the demands because OF
the financial condition Of the COM
pany. and, secondly, that the in
crease given the men in March had
satisfied them insofar as the high
cost of living was concerned; that
the cost Of living is likely to de-

At present there is nothing fur

agreement with the War Labor
Board to abide by its decision until

Washington tenants may have to
make their own repairs in apart

determined to buck additional rent
increases. which property owners
declare are essential.
John T. Areany. rental agent for
Stone and Fairfax. advanced this
policy as a possibility yesterday in
testifying before the Senate Sub
committee Investigating rent pro-
ftsering in the District.
IF tenants" Meany told the sub
committee. were willing to make
their own minor repairs and a
clause to this effect was put in the
leases we would not be compelled
to ask increases"
Claims Higher Expense.
Neany stated that the increases
they had made and anticipated max
Ing only took care Of additional ex-
penses- He said a 10 per cent in

a 25 per cent increase would be
right.
George F Hunt. representing

he believed a 10 per cent increase
was fair.
