BILL TO COMPEL
HEAT IN HOMES
Sherman to Press Law to Stop
Landlords Freezing Out
Tenants, He Says.

Following the appointment OF the
Rent Commission, Senator Sherman,
chairman or the District Committee,
introduced = . bin in the Senate to-
day to protect Washington tenants
from landlords who are trying to
freeze them out
Some Washington landlords, ac-
cording to Sherman. are making liv-
ing conditions SO uncomfortable for
tenants that they are being forced
to give up their apartments. Over
coats and rubbers are being worn in
chilly apartments by many Washing
tonians, Sherman declared.
at Is time something was done to
put a stop to such practices" he said
'1n Chicago landlords who failed to
live up to their agreement to furnish
sufficient heat are fined, and they
ought to be fined here"
Sherman proposes to subject land =
lords who do not keep apartments
properly heated to fines of not less
than $25, nor more than 81 900. Each
would be considered a separate Of
fense.
"I am told that some OF the land =
lords who have been unable to get
rid of their tenants owing to the
Salisbury law, are trying to freeze
them out" said Sherman. at is not
uncommon for many tenants to be
forced to wear their overcoats and
overshoes In their apartments and
rooms. I am going to bring this bill
to the attention OF the District Com
mittee to see what can be done to
remedy conditions here"
Under Sherman's bill tenants who
have complaints to make with regard
to heating would file them with the
District Attorneys office. 1t also pro-
vides for court trials.
The Senate District Committee will
meet scme time this week. to take up
the nomination of the Rent Commits
sion members and of the Rev. John
Van Schaick as District Commissioner.
Senator sherman said no date had
been set for the meeting.
"If the rent law is given a chance
/ believe that 1t will prove benefi-
cial," said Sherman, "but II the
property owners seek to hamstfing
It, then let them beware. Congress has
full control OF the District OF Column
bia and it is determined that profit
eering in rents here shall cease.
aIf property owners and landlords
persist in their efforts to avoid prop
er regulations, I predict that a law
will be enacted placing an occupa-
tional tax and property taxes on real
estate owners and landlords that will
soon bring them to their senses"

HEAVY LOADING AND

Neither the government nor tha
railroads are wholly to blame tor the
present shortage Of equipment.
During the war the labor and ma.
chinery ordinarily engaged in building
locomotives and cars was NECESSARILY
employed in manufacture Of muni-
tions Of war.
It is recalled that considerable pro-
paganda sminated from Washington
about what the Railroad Administra-
ton was going to do to provide equip
ment but this seems to have gotten
no farther than on paper.
But this is no time for recrimin-
alton or fault finding. The great
crops Of this country the products
Of the factory, foodstuffs and clothing
for one hundred million people, must
be transported and the railroads must
do it. It 10 q time for forebearance
and whole-hearted cooperation.
With a scarcity Of cars and loco
motives, shippers should make the
most efficient use Of cars by loading
to capacity and unloading and loading
promptly. Make one car do the work
Of two by heavy loading and quick
release. Shippers have it within their
power to relieve conditions.
