III readiness Tor the game against Green
field Saturday.
Beginning with the last half of the
football game with Bellows Falls, the
b. H. S. squad has been going strong.
During the first half of that game the
local team was asleep. Then, from over
IN the direction of the bleachers, came a
few faint cheers calling the men to brace
up They. did brace up and pulled off
their first victory. The last two victims
they have completely skunked. Last
Saturday at keene the opposing team
had few loyal supporters. They gave
one yell that could be heard and then
looked as though they would like to run
and hide. If they had had hackers, they
could have fought good deal harder.
Next Saturday Greenfield plays in Brat
tle5oro. Every person in school should
be down on the Island to help out. the
cheering section, and every person in
Erattleboro should be down to see. the
gam" and hear the cheering and singing.
At keene the Brattleboro team pulled
off play that cannot be named. From
now on. they will do that every little
while. Go to the island next Saturday
at o'clock to see how it is done. Green
field, an old rival, viii fight every min
ute and then some.

MI EW YORK, Oct 2.-When
IN q landlord here raises
your rent beyond your
means, you do not pay il. Neither
do you move, there being pFacti-
eally no place left 70 which to
move. Instead, you rush down to
the municipal building and tel
the mayors committee on rent
profteering all about It
This committee is adjusting
from sixty 70 eighty disputes be-
tween tenants and landlords every
day, and it Is roughly estimated
that so far these adjustments have
resulted in q total saving 70 New
York tenants Of nearly four mil
lion dollars.
Visit the headquarters of the
COMMITTEES any hour Of the day,
and you viii find q crowd Of pro-
testing tenants blocking its doors,
anxiOusly waiting for cases TO be
heard. It is an interesting crowd,
made up Of people from all classes
but representing q single human
emotion-indignation. And as in
dignatiOn is rarely borne in
silence, everybody tells his
troubles to everybody else with q
degree of frankness he would
never think Of using under nor
NAL conditions.
Landlords Also Indignant.
The landlords, while not so
numerous as the tenants, are
equally indignant when permitted
to state their opinions in the Sc
clusion of the private office, where
both sides are heard. In the first
place, the Law, and therefore
justice, is on their side, they as
sert. It is clearly stated in the
law that landlords shall have the
right to fix the rents of their own
property, and yet here their legal
rights are being intsrfered with.
According to Capt. J. J. Gold
smith, who is the real power Of
the committee, the landlord is de-
cidedly to blame in most Of the
cases which come under its juris-
diction. The consideration Of each
case by the committee is entirely
impartial. It may also be said to
be original. AS soon as a tenant
makes q complaint the landlord is
notified to appear before the COM
mittee. II necessary he is sub
penaed. The tenant states his side
Of the case on q blank provided
for that purpose, and the landlord
states his side Of Il on q similar
blank. Then the committee makes
an Investigation % determine
whether or not these facts are
true.
With this information IN hand,
Captain Goldsmith then brings TIE
tenant and the landlord into hia
ollico end literally oFEues them
into an egulinhlo settlement, Ihe

Is soon as they learned that the
property had changed hands 90
they quietly began % 0rgani1a, and
when the landlords attempted %
put the increase into oGect. they
found 6 tenants union ready b
oppose It. This union appointed
a committee, which called on the
landlords and protested the raise
was eXhorbitant. a great deal Of
haggling ensued. end the landlords
reduced their raise by hail. But
this was not accepted "A further
reduction was insisted upon, and
the landlords absolutely.refused 70
consider e. So the strike began.
A tenants strike has none OF the
disagreeable features Of other
kinds Of strikes, IN which the
strikers wages are cut Of, 60 that
70 proved more entertaining than
anything else. They simply paid
their rent TO their own treasurer
instead Of to the Landlords, and
prevented agents Of the latter from
approaching the housea The
women paraded up and down the
streets, with cardboard signs read
ing, Here is q Rent Strike" hung
over their shoulders and tackled to
baby carriages. A store was hired
for the strike headquarters, and
this was also decorated with signs;
while a group Of women pickets
always held the door.
All attempts Of the city marshal
to eviet the striking tenants from
the houses were a failure. The
men forced their way in, bat they
were met by q mob Of women, who
asked If they belonged 70 q union.
When the men said they did the
women explained that they were
also unionists, belonging to the
Williamsburg Tenants League.
At which the men refused 20 con
tinue their work.
Tax Raise His Big Stick.
Eventually, after six weeks, the
case was amicably adjusted in
Captain Goldsmith's office, after
a day and night Of uninterrupted
session. The strike committee
agreed to accept a total raise Of
$3.50 instead of the proposed
S2,4OO.
"It would have saved a lot Of
trouble if they had brought the
case to our committee in the first
place" declared the captain, who
does not believe in rent strikes.
During this strike, he says, the
tenants paid nearly 5000 70 q
lawyer TO represent them IN the
courts when it was q forogone
conclusion that the lawyer would
Be unable b help them.

NEW YORN'S RENT PROFITEERS

he usually ends BY conceding a
great deal before Captain Cold
smith gets through with him.
Yield Inch By Inch.
Sometimes these hearings last
far into the night, while each side
yields inch By inch. In the process
the captain usually removes his
coat and finally his collar. His
language grows more ungrammat-
ical with each passing hour, but
his vigor remains as sturdy as
ever.
Before Mayor Hylan picked him
out for, his rent profiteeTing COM
mittee, Goldsmith was a captain
in the Intelligence Corps Of the
Nayy, and, although his is now in
civilian clothes, the title still sticks
to him.. He Is q rather short, ro-
tund man with shTeWd, steady
