taken on the measure next week

The parallel parking will be done

TENANTS WILL
FIGHT IN COURTS
RAISE IN RENTS
Organize to Resist Demands
Of Landlords - Appoint
Committees to Consult
Legal Advisers.

Tenants of apartment houses and
other residence property are or
ganizing a bolt against the demands
of landlords. They have combined
in some of the apartment houses and
have appointed committees with In
structions to consult lawyers as to
whether or not they could find pro-
lection in the courts against what
they allege to be an unreasonable
advance in rentals.
Probably the best organization Of
this kind among tenants is that of
Drake Court, 701 South Twenty
second street, where something like
50 tenants have organized to resist
the demands of the landlords.
Notice Of Advance.
The owners of Drake Court have
given notice of advance in rentals to
take effect in October when the
leases expire, and the tenants, Of
course, have the option of meeting
the advance or vacating.
The landlords or real estate firms
having charge of the larger apart
ment houses say that they are ad-
vancing the rentals to cope with the
increased cost of maintenance, and
that they are acting clearly within
their legal rights.
Efforts to learn when the boiling
tenants will file proceedings in court
were unsuccessful.
Colonial Doesn't Raise.

FIUME AND ITALY
By DR.. Leopold VdccarO, Chairman of the Italia

Of Fiume is allowed to Join Italy. ha:

of Fiume, the action Of the. Italian dele.

one Of her cities who has struggled, In
the face OF all obstaclgs, TO preserve

which prompted her famous Risorgi-

Fiume, situated at the eastern base
Of the peninsula Of lstria, belongs, geo.
graphically to lstria. The eastern
boundary OF Italy, however is on the
declivity Of the Julian Alps, thus bring
ing Fiume within the territory that
geographically belongs to Italy. Until
February, 1914, little was known about
the origin Of the city. but in that year
the discovery Of Roman remains in
the older part Of the town removed all
doubt. Fume has risen upon the ruins
Of the Roman Tarsatica, which had
been destroyed by fire.
She was from the first a free COM
mune governed on the pure Italian mo-
del. The passage from one master to
another left untouched the inherited
liberties Of the inhabitants, and the
city always enjoyed almost complete
independence. Under the Hapsburgs,
