So the bunny did this. and, with the

ASKS TENANTS
T0BEPAT|ENT
Rent Commission, Sworn In To.
day, Is Swamped
BY Protests.

To stem the flood OF protests which
are already pouring into the private
offices OF the members OF the Dis
trict rent commission, the Commits
sioners this morning asked complain
inging tenants to await their formal
induction into office and the estab-
fishing of headquarters.
Although the commission was just
created and the ink on their commits.
sions has barely had time to dry, c'ti-
zens have started registering com
plants against rent profiteering by
telephone, in writing and personally.
These protests range anywhere from
exhorbitant increases in rental, to
eviction and other alleged unjust
treatment at the hands OF landlords.
The commission Is, not In position
to receive these protests at present, II
was declared this morning. With the
of the oath OF office
this morning the commissioners must
next find headquarters and establish
an office before they can settle down
to regular business.
Justice Stafford, in Criminal Divi-
sion No. 1, District Supreme Court.
this morning administered the oath
Of office of James F. Oyster. A. Left
wich Sinclair and Guy Mason as men,
bers OF the District Rent Commission.
Many OF the friends of the COM
missioners were present and con-
graduated them on their installation
in office. After swearing in the com
missioners, Justice Stafford wished
them success in their new uLdertak-
ing.
1t was stated this morning that
simple rules and regulations would
be formulated to govern the sub
mission of complaints in order to
avoid as much confusion as possible
in the large number of complaints
that are expected.
Complaints must be submitted In
writing. These will be classified and
acted upon by the commission In the
order of their importance, 1t Is be-
lieved.
Those cases which the commission
feels can be adjusted through action
under the Salisbury law will receive
consideration only after others have
been disposed Of so long as the Sauls-
bury act continues in effect.

WOMEN TO PLAN
FIGHT ON H. c. OF |.
Miss Strauss, of Justice Dept;
To Outline Campaign to Pre-
vent Profiteering Here.

Representative Washington women,
including presidents OF organiza-
tions, will confer this afternoon with
Miss Edith Strauss, director OF the
Women's Activities Bureau of the De-
partment OF Justice. to formulate
definite plans for reducing the cost
of living.
The Housekeepers' Alliance, repre-
senting hundreds of Washington
homes, which yesterday pledged to
cooperate with the Department OF
Justice to prevent profteering, will
send committee of four, including
Mrs. Archibald Hopkins, Mrs. Henry
p. Rainey Mrs. William f. Chamber
lain, and Mrs. Grace Porter Hopkins.
Miss Strauss will urge the mem
bers of the women's clubs, as well as
other Washington housewives, to sup
ply her bureau with evidence of
profiteering. These complaints. she
said, will be investigated by opera
tives of the District fair price COM
mittee.
Five points will be advanced by
Miss Strauss as a means of reducing
the cost of living
THE first point" said Miss Strauss
today, will be to urge women to buy
intelligently and with conservation,
so the supply can catch up with the
demand.
Second, that women direct their
buying to necessities only to force
manufacturers to produce necessities
only; that they eliminate luxuries.
"Third-To eliminate illegitimate
profit by establishing a complaint bu-
real at the Department of Justice. All
such complaints will be investigated
with the view of prosecuting fragrant
cases of prof1teering.
"Fourth-To instruct women to run
their homes on business basis, the
same as the husband keeps check on
business at his office and workshop.
s"Fifth-To instruct women to di-
rect all their complaints to the De-
partment of Justice, regardless OF the
article sold at unreasonable prices"
