Cooperative Plan
Is Being Abused,
Tenants Declare
Tell Mayors Committee They
Are Forced to Buy Homes
From Landlords Under
Threats of Eviction

Leo Kenneth Mayer, counsel to the
Mayors Committee on Rent Profteer-
ing, said yesterday that many com
plants were being received by the COM
mittee from tenants who said that the
project of purchasing apartments from
landlords on the cooperative plan was
apparently being used to force them to
vacate their homes unless they entered
into the cooperative purchase of the
property.
MIR. Mayer was emphatic in his con-
demnation of those landlords who. un-
der the guise of emi-altruistic in
terest in their tenants, seek to foist
on them properties at inflated values
under pain of eviction.
Zone common feature of some of the
cooperative plans is that only a part
OF the tenants are brought into it,
SAID Mr.. Mayer. "The genuine CO.
operative plan would permit all the
tenants to avail themselves of the adj
vantages of buying the property.

cate to take over the property, the CO.
operative plan is apt to be scheme
to recour .heir finances and to profiteer
at the expense of those not in the syn
dictate
"Those tenants who buy their own
homes under these conditions and raise
rents exorbitantly are just as guilty
of gouging as the original profiteer
hog. While the puxchase of dwelling
properties on the cooperative basis in
great many cases smacks of stock
jobbng schemes, it may also be stated
that an honest, bona fide cooperative
plan may be a desirable and feasible
method of getting home"
James d. Sullivan, Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel, assigned to the Mayors
Committee on Rent Protiteering, in
commenting on the cooperative plan
said that its hazards were so great
that people ought to look into it very
carefully
81 strongly urge all persons offered
and contemplating entering into
them first to take the matter up with
the Mayors committee, which is
fully conversant with the trials, tribu-
lations and pitfalls that persons may
be subjected to in entering upon this
new form of tenancy. 1t is better to
consult with them before, rather than
look for sympathy and way out after,

has received assurances of coopera-
tion, said Mr.. Miller. 1.-THE committee
Is alive to the fact that relief Of the
present housing conditions must come
about through construction work started
during July, August and September
and that If the freight embargo against
bnlid'ng materials persists relief for
the ccngested districts will not be
achieved during the present year.
The fact that the all-rail freight for
coal to New England is some So less
per tor than the rail to seaboard and
water rate, is undoubtedly tending to
force New England coal shipments over
the railroads. 1t is said that New Eng
land requires 100000 tons annually
and that it is beyond the capacity Of
the railroads in normal times to carry
more than 100000. The high water
rates. as well as the limited coastwlse
shipping facilities. are therefore an in
direct cause OF the present rail en-
bargoes on building materials.
In the present emergency it is but
natural that the people of New York
should look for relief through trans
portation of vast quantities of heavy
materials over the Barge Canal. This
waterway. which was constructed at n
cost OF Si60,00o 600 of the New York
peoples money, is affording no per
ceptible relief in fact, the canal is
said to be moving less tonnage than it
did in the days of the mule drawn
boat, and indeed. owing to the eight
hour shifts Of the tugs. the transport
tation is slower than In days when the
mule was used for motive power.
Large quantities of building ma
terials are available along the canal,
but present conditions prohibit moving
them to New York, even to complete
projects upon union work, which have
now been suspended. In conference
between Senator Colder and the Super
intendent Of Public Works Of New York

zation of the Barge Canal was thor
