New York, Cities of East
and Middle West Offer
No Hope to Average
Dwellers This Winter
Public Holds Out
To Lower Rentals
Flats, Available in This
City, Non-Housekeeping
or of Cooperative Type

With winter already at the door,
there is little indication of any ap
preciable Improvement in the housing
situation in New York or in any of the
largest cities OF the East and Middle
West, so far as the average tenant is
concerned.
From all points come reports of an
extreme shortage of dwellings. with
the rent prohteers plying their goug-
ing operations unrestricted where there
are few living quarters available
Some hope Of relief, however, is seen
IN Chicago, where the wealthy citizens
Lave made a large fund available for
immediate construction operations and
10 enable needy householders to pur-
chase their own homes.
In this city there are apartments
available. but the citizens are still
crying for help. The reason is that,
while there are from 1000 to 5000
apartments 20 be mad in various sec
tions OF the city, they are mostly of the
ron-housekeeplng and cooperative plan
type
Charge slo0 Room
Wherever n regular housekeeping
apartment is offered the price asked is
so nigh that prospective tenants are
refusing to pay. In the upper West
SIDE there IS no such apartment to be
Lad under sl00 q month. Fifty dollars
room IS considered a low figure by
the average agent, with the prices
ranging up 10 500 a room.
1t is evident that the public is hold
ing out against these unreasonable
Committee on Rent Profteering ex-
pect TO see many apartments empty all
through the winter unless the owners
reduce their rates. The tenants are
holding on to the places they have un-
der the protection of the new rent
legislation. Evictions are scarce and
so far no householder has been turned
out for declining TO meet exorbitant
rentals The realty owners are test
ing the constitutionality of the recent
rent legislation in an action that comes
UP this morning before Justice John
v McAvoy in the Supreme Court
Conditions in Philadelphia Bad
In Philadelphia the conditions are
said to be appalling, with nothing be-
ing done to relieve the situation. The
prohteers in that city are said to be
operating beyond all bounds of reason
1t was estimated that at least 10000
homes are needed in that city to make
up the dwelling shortage.
The situa on is about the same in
Boston, where the authorities are alsc
sitting idly by with the inhabitants il
need Of at least 5000 more homes. The
gouging owners in that city have
brought about critical state of af
fairs With no legislation at hand tt
curb their operations, evictlons are
running UP in alarming numbers
In St. Louis slight relief has been af
forded by funds made available by the
citizenry for the Immediate construc
ton Of homes which the househofders
occupy on the cooperative ownership
plan.

Portuguese Railroad Strike
Part OF Plot for Red Revolt

was successful. Among the
arms found was a large number of
American automatic pistols Of large
caiber, together with quantities Of
cartridges.
The disclosures enabled the Portu-
guese government to take timely meas
ures TO prevent spread of the move
ment, which started with the railroad
strike. The train service, which was
restored after several days of COM
plete cessation, is being carried on
very irregularly, as locomotive engi-
neers and technical workmen are re
naming away from their jobs. A
number OF high officials are acting as
engineers and fremen, but their num-
Der is insufficient to permit Of full
train service.
The authorities in Portugal, it is
declared. became suspicious as regards
the nature of the strike by the fact
that the men ceased work Immediately
after the government had conse. ted
TO raise railroad rates 100 per cent
and applied portions of the raise tc
increasing the wages of the men or
every system in the country, thereby
meeting all tho demands Of the
workers.

Wilson Is Silent on Blow Cox
Aimed at Heart of the Leao,,e

From The Trbuncs Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Oct 24-While the
White House kept discreetly silent to-
night on Governor Cox's speech in
Madison Square Garden last night. in
which he virtually declared for the
Lodge reservation to Article Of the
Versailles treaty, the Democratic can
didate's utterance was generally in
terpreted here as direct stab at
what President Wilson terms the
heart of the league"
That portion OF Cox's speech. which
is looked upon as an eleventh hour
trimming Of sails by the Democratic
candidate, follows:
Il would willingly accept q reser-
vation stating explicitly that the Unite /
States assumes no obligation to use
its military or naval forces TO defend
or assist any other member of the
league, unless approved and author
lied by Congress in each case"
The Lodge reservation applies the
same safeguard to American rights.
but goes still further by declaring
against the assumption II any entane-
ling obligation to which the Wilson
league as now written pledges this
government.
The new stand taken by the Demo.
cratic candidate goes a little firthe,
toward a compromise than the reserva.
tion suggested by Senator Hitchcock
the Democratic floor leader, during the
treaty fight, which merely served no
tice on slgnatory nations that war car
be declared only by Congress; but in
asmuch as this reservation never wa.
approved by the President, it is reason
able to believe that White House ap
proval also will be refused to the com
promise amendment now suggested by
the Democratic nominee.

MADRID, Oct 24.-lndisputaoie evil
dence, it is said, has reached poth 'he
Spanish and the Portuguese au'horl-
ties that the origin of the railroad
strike in Portugal was an attempt by
the Bolshevik elements to seize power
The movement emanated in Barcelona
from which place agents went to Portu-
qal. either crossing the frontier sur
Teptitiously or reaching that country
aboard coasting vessels. The agents
are said to have carried with them
large sums of German money, which
was used to influence the unemployed
and the extremists among the trades
unions.
The alleged plans which have fallen
into the hands Of the authorities di-
yulge that it was the intention to OBJ
tain possession of strategic points on
the railroads, the machine shops of
the various systems, and the customs
houses and other public buildings.
Clews found by the police led to the
search for and discovery of extensive
deposits of arms and ammunition just
across the Spanish frontier. ready for
