Court to Pass
On New Rent
Laws To-day
Landlord Seeks to Evict Ill
Tenants Whose Leases
Expired Sept. 30 and
Who Refused to- Vacate
Increases Are Attacked
Owners Showing DISPOSE
ton to Compromise; Heat
Warming From Copeland

For the first time since the new rent
lews were enacted by the Legislature
n special session, the Supreme Court
viii be asked to-day to pass on GER
tain phases Of thc statutes which have
produced a controversy between land
lords and tenants.
The test case to be heard to- day by
Justice Mullan is brought by William
Brandt E. Co., Inc, owners of an apart
ment house at Audubon Avenue and
10th Street.
Eleven tenants in the house have
been summoned by the Brandt COM
pany to show cause why they should
not be compelled to reiinquish their
apartments in accordance with the
terms of leases that expired September
30 The tenants have elected to sit
tight and defy the landlord to put
them out.
Terms of Leases Identical
Meyer D. Siegel, attorney for Will
liam Brandt & Co., Inc, filed an affi-
davit setting forth that his client
bought the Audubon Avenue house last
February subject to the existing
leases held by forty-six tenants.
The leases were identical with the
exception of the time Of expiration and
provided that unless they were re-
newed at the expiration the lessons
would surrender their apartments.
On September 80, when their leases
expired the eleven tenants who are now
defendants, refused to give up their
apartments. They told the owners .hey
could find no place to move to, and
over against the protests of Brandt g.
Co.
1t is contended by Mr.. Siegel that
this is in violation of the Constitution
cf the United States, because it
amounts to q conhscation OF the plain
tff's property. He also charges that
the tenants conspired to deprive his
client of possession of his property.
William Brandt, president of the
corporate landlord said that under the
new laws his only remedy is to appeal
to the Supreme Court for equitable
relief. He asks that Justice Mulan
order the eleven hold-over tenants to
give up their apartments, that money
Judgment be given against them and
that they be assessed the costs of the
court proceeding
Tenants Refuse to Pay More Rent
Throughout the city the municipal
courts revealed yesterday that tenants
are refusing to pay the increased
rentals demanded by landlords under
the old~25 per cent Law. This attitude
has also spread extensively among those
tenants who signed leases before Oc-
tober !.
A review of the Municipal Court ac-
tons shows that the tenants every
where are showing disposition to
contest the question with the land
lords by refusing to meet the increases,
and are displaying a willingness to
permit the Municipal Court justices to
settle what is a fair and reasonable
rent in each case.
Another turn in the situation is the
attitude Of the majority of the land
lords. They are in most cases showing
a Willingness to compromise
This new situation was commented
upon by Justice Davies, in the
Seventh District Municipal Court, at

5uster Bear remained in his bed un-
a"r the great pile of fallen trees in
rhe Green Forest until the mud with
which he was covered had dried and
become uncomfortable. BY that time
nc no longer felt the stings of the
Bees and Hornets. He was still sore
from the bumps he had received when
he dropped from that Bee-tree and
heedlessly ran into other trees in his
foolish fright, but it was such relief
to be rid of the smart of those stings
that Buster hardly minded the bruises.
Late in the afternoon he crept out
from his hiding place and went straight
to the pond of Paddy the Beaver.
With that mud dried in his fur he was
the worst-looking Bear that ever walked
IN the Green Forest. His own mother
wouldn't have known him had she met
him. No, sir. she wouldn't have Known
him.
Buster walked straight to Paddv's
pond and into it. There for a long time
he swan about, and when at last lie
climbed out on Paddy's dam he was
once more fairly respectable-look-
ing Bear. You see. he was rid of ell
the mud He shook himself like a
great dog and then sat down where
the sun would at least partly dry
him off
AS he sat there Buster kept think
ing about that honey he felt he had
been cheated out of by Farmer Browns
boy. The more he tried not to think
about 1T the more he did think about
IT and the more he thought about it
the more he felt that he had been
cheated and the more he hated Farm
er Browns boy
II wonder if he has taken all that
honey" muttered Buster PERHAPS he
has left little. | think III go over
there tonight and see My, wish /
had some Of that honey right now.
1t seems to me ! never in all nv life
wanted anything as | want some honey.
II hadn't had that one little taste
it wouldn't be so bad"
The more he thought about it the
more restless he became His common
sense told him to keep away from
that Bee-tree, but his stomach urged
him to go see if there was chance
70 get little of that honey. and Bus
ter was more willing to listen to his
stomach than to his common sense. So
presently he started off in the direction
OF that Beetree.
1t just happened that his v.y there
took him near that stump on which
Farmer Browns boy had left his knife.
The last rays of the setting sun
touched the bright blade and made it
CLEAN, and that caught Busters eyes.
He stopped short and stared at that
knife. o. course, he didn't know it

MANY ARE
PRESENT AT
MEETING

At an enthusiastic meeting held last
night at the Chamber OF Commerce. rep
resentatives of Hammond industries. the
Chamber of Commerce, and the Woman's
Club. accomplished the first step in an
ca 1tensive campaign of Americanization
which will ultimately bring America to
the home Of every foreigner in Ham
mond. When Chairman Jesse Z. Wilson
called the meeting TO order at O'Clock
es cry chair was occupied.
Local manufacturers were asked TO
prepare a list of their non-En glish speak
ing employees and TO forward this list
TO the Americanizauon committee of the
Hammond Woman's Club. Efforts will
be made to have the men IN factories
taught English under supervision Of gov
ernment instructors.
Several speakers scored the teaching
OF foreign languages in the primary
schools. public and parochial. and Mayor
Brown character the system now in
vogue of devoting one-half day to the
teaching of English and the other half
to teaching a foreign language, and in
cjdentally the customs and Ideals OF that
land, as neither fair to one side or the
other" One of the first moves Of the
new organization will be to eliminate the
teaching OF any language other than
English in the grade schools.
Judge Joseph G. Ibach in a. short talk
summed UP the purpose of Americaniza-
ton and the problem confronting its
advocates. He sounded a note or warn
ing when he said Now is the time for
every American to interest himself in
this work. We can't let it slide. A real
danger has arisen and the irresponsible
opportunity 70 acquaint himself with the
IDEALS and institutions of his adopted
government. or who has refused TO avail
himself of opportunities when presented,
must be reached now" Other speakers
attacked the problem from different an
giles and il was finally decided to accept
the AineFfcaniza ton plan as drawn up
by the Hammond Womans Club and
whicha ppeared to contain all the prin-
cipies discu ssed.
The principal features of the plan are:
To card-index all non-English speaking
parents. to form clubs Of girls. IL 10
IS years Of age. of different ma tional-
tiles: to encourage children TO teach their
mothers the essentials Of the English
language; and to have all this work car
ried on under the supervision or sub
committees composed OF women living
in the neighborhoods of the women to be
taught.
Other meetings Of the Americanization
committee are scheduled for next week.
