Manner Gray, Brooklyn, Will
lead Movement Against
pro6teering Landlords;
First Meeting ON Mar. 13

u;il;on tenants of Greater New
-. organized to combat rent prof.
...,;nr is the ultimate aim Of move
-.,t started yesterday by Nomer Gray,
!, 1918 Prospect Place, Brooklyn. Mr..
Gray said last night that he had been
.romised city legal aid. He said the
srss meeting of the organization prob
.,,v would be held either in New York
- Brooklyn. on March la. At that
n..,ing, he said, the organization will
), riven the name of the Tenants
p;sh.s League of Greater New York
I'D officers will be elected.
Mr.. Gray, who is president of the As
.,c;stion of Men Teachers and Prlnci-
ssls Of New York, said last night that
piresdy he had had responses from
msn and women high in social and in
Iss, lInstrial life in New York, and that in
.ss,v case he had been urged to Ego
.ss limit" and had been assured that
ss would be backed by at least the
-;,;;on persons whose membership he
sYpected to secure.
I'VE are going ahead full steam," he
s.id. "Our scheme Is to so organize
.urselves that not one member will re-
! new his or her lease on an increase Of
i ,snf In this way we shall bring the
nrofteering landlords to time" He
ss;d the action would be taken prob
ably on May /.
eThis business of rent profteering,"
he added, "is not one that affects the
men OF our city only. The women are
,ha greater sufferers. I sat back and
srnected somebody else to do something
until | was tired Of waiting. Every
man and woman must enlist in this
fght. In this movement you have
massed action for moral right against
which no defense can survive. When
YOU get q million persons back of a
nroposition it is a very difficult thing
aProfteering in rents in New York
CITY has come to place where it is
ridiculous If the people want to rid
themselves of these leeching home
breakers they will enroll in the league
at the earliest possible time"
He was asked if he expected to hold
the first meeting of the organization
in his home. as was reported yesterday,
and he replied:
"No. sir! We want to get hall big
enough to accommodate thousands.'
"yut what about the land .ords?" he
was asked Wouldn't they act in the
meantime to so intimidate their tenants
as TO cause 8 feeling of fear on the
part Of the renters
There's no coward like the wrong
doer," he replied. "Once the prohteer-
ing landlords see that there>is real
strength and universal action against
them, they will relent in their attempts
to further increase rents"

 "Never mind, I won't eat much" " muttered Neal gloomily, dragging himself back to the actualitieS and necessities of life, and starting to help me carry in the dinner.

 "I mean just that-youre not a stacker. Don't you realize, boy, that you never ran away from the draft at all? You merely ran away from yourself-and the slow agony of waiting for them to call your class the expert bank accountants.

After Ten Years
EatOnic Proves the Best


81 say, God bless eatonic," writes
Mrs. Della NJ. Doyen. 81 can truth
fully say, after suffering with stomach
trouble for ten long years, that l have
never had anything do me so much
good as this one box of eatonic."
We print these grateful words from
this dear lady, SO that sufferers every
where may have hope and little
faith-just enough to give eatonic a
trial Why. folks, last year over half
a million people used eatonic and
found relief.
This is the secret: Eatonic SIM
ply takes up the excess acids, poisons
and gases, and carries them right out
of the body. OF course, when the
cause is removed, the sufferer gets
well. Stomach trouble causes about
seventy non-organic diseases, so, If
you are suffering any kind of misery,
not feeling well, go right to your drug
gist today and obtain a big box of
eatonic; cost is a trifie. Use 1t and
find quick, sure relief.
Make this test-you will see, and
then, If you are not satisfied, your
druggist will hand your money back.
He does not want one penny unless
eatonic pleases you. Adv.
