SHORTAGE OF HOMES TO CAUSE
STATE ACTION IN new ENGLAND

BOSTON. April 2s-Massachusetts
has not yet been able to make up for
its shortage OF homes and keep rents
from sky-rocketing. A state commis-
sion on the necessaries OF life Is
struggling with the problem but mean
while tenants in this city and else
where lave obtained little relief. Sew
eral tenant groups recently refused
TO pay advances in rent demanded of
them and by joint action avoided evic-
ton. which would have been legal up
on thirty days notice.
Two hundred tenants at Revert have
formed a corporation known as the
Tenants LeaguAto combat increases
n have announced that they VIII
tolerate no more advances in rent and
requested aid from the City's local
department. The issue there is sim
IN doubt.
An attempt tn solve the problem by
arbitration has been made in Brock
ton. a shoe m1nuf1ctdrlng center. \
board composed of two tenants. two
la Glords and n fft-. member TO DC
selected by the others is TO decide
whether rents have been unduly adj
vanced when disputes arise etwee
landlords and tenants.
The Commission on the Necessa-
ries of Life has investigated the hous-
ing end rent problems n has con-
tributed a number of suggestions for
their solution, but as yet has made
no formal report. II has urged the
cities to form housing corporations
and AXE over and improve abandon
ed tenements by w~orkingmon who
had moved to better ones The com
mission found there were 5000 tene-
ments which were ~unoccupied because
the landlords would not remodel them
80 as to make them fit for occupancy.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-04-23

At the suggestion Of the commits
sion a bill has been introduced into
the legislature that would limit the
return from Investments In dwelling
houses to eight per cent. Tie pur-
pose of it is to prevent speculation
in homes. The commissioners found
hat many builders had stopped con-
struotion because Of the high cost pf
labor and materials and had gone to
specializing in real estate. There
suit was hat frequent sales OF prop
erty were followed by advances in
rent. In many cases tenants were
forced out of heir homes so that the
landlords might demand higher rates
from new occupants. Massachusetts
corporations have attempted to relieve
the housing shortage by crossing com
munity houses. Whole villages OF at
tractive houses are being erected IN
New Bedford. Lawrence. Lowell ard
other mill cities and will be rented or
sold to employees on easy terms.

A World Survey Was Mad

A World Survey Was Made
Our churches know the needs
that must be met. They know
exactly how every dollar-every
penny-will be used for the great
est good without waste.
A world survey was made by
the churches that astounds business
men in its thoroughness. County
after county was studied; the coun-
tries of the world were visited and
reported in minute detail.
How the Interchurch y
World Movement Originated
Our churches said: "The task of
meeting the urgent needs shown by
the world survey is too great for us
to do Individually as denomi-
nations. We must do this work
together"
So thirty great denominations
are cooperating-each keeping its
own purpose and identity-but all
working together under the name
of the Interchurch World Move
.aent
Because Of this cooperation, it
is estimated thar S1er one million
dollars will be saved alone in elimi-
mating waste and duplication.

He has been here more than )
