Landlords Urge
A State Board to
Arbitrate Rents
Member of Mayors Commit
tee Says 40 Per Cent of
Owners Whose Cases Are
Heard Are Prohtecrs

Establishment of state board of
arbitration, with power to adiudicate
differences between landlords and
tenants in rent dispiites, was recon-
mended last night by the Greater New
York Taxpayers Association at meet
ing in Turn Verein Hall, Eighty-hfth
Street and Lexington Avenue. The
meeting was attended by more than 700
landlords, owners of tenement and
apartment houses. Max f. Wolff. a
member Of the Mayors Committee on
Rent Profitccring, was present
Mr.. Wolff said that the experience
of the Mayors Committee has shown
that 40 per cent of the landlords who
come before the committee are prof
iteers, but he assured the audience that
the committee is behind those land
lords whose rent increases are legiti-
mate. Speakers at the meeting de-
nounced tenants strikes and what they
called manifestations of Bolshevism and
sabotage among tenants. They accused
the courts of favoring the tenants "for
political purposes and announced their
determinatlon ito get proper and
just return on investments"
Meyer Goldberg president of the
association, in presenting the proposal
for a state board of arbitration to
This association of property own
ers has no sympathy with the rent
proiiteers. particularly with the so
called iessees who rent houses for pur-
poses of rcrenting them at huge
profits. We are determined to fight
the rent prohteers in order to protec,
our own Investments. We want to do
away with the lessees f possible. But
we recognize the justice Of the fan
Landlords to raise their rents to q
reasonable degree. We have estab-
ished rent adjustment committee
and we invite. all our members to
come before this committee and pre-
sent their claims to rent increases,
IF the committee finds the proposed
increases justified the entire associa,
tlon will back the landlords in getting
such increases.
lsadorc Berger. general manager Of
the association, supported the proposal
Tor state board of arbitration with
power to subpoena witnesses and whose
decisions shall be binding.
Stewart Browne, president of the
United Real Estate Owners Associa-
ton, said landlords are compelled to
ask increases ''to keep their heads
above the water"
"lt the landlord cannot make 10 OF
II per cent on his investment" he
said, che will have to get out of busi-
ness He said that most landlords
DO non make more than A per cent on
their investment
Similar sentiments were expressed
by Thomas Krekeler, Bernard Good
man and Samuel S. Isaacs.
r.. NJ. Phillips, attorney for the as
ssoclation, attacked judges who, he said,
seem to be governed by political mo-
tives in rendering decisions against
landlords" and urged sabotage insur-
ance.
