Action of Tenants League Attorney UnJuStl1led
A Needless Request
By RONALD S. O'NEILL.

One of the most asinne movements ever undertaken
in Washington came light yesterday when the Tenants
League sought police protection to prevent cruel hard
hearted landlords from committing inustces against tenants
moving day"
The petition itself is at the grayeS reflection upon
the integrity Of the police powers and those in whom these
powers reside in Washington and REFLECTION upon the
ability willingness of those in charge of the enforcement
of the law Since when did Washington become SO iaweSs
and corrupt that is necessary for body of men TO ASK
mind YOU TO REQUEST THE POLICE TO PREVENT THE
VIOLATION OF LAWS? Have injuSiceS been done and
crimes committed here with the CONSENT of the powers
that be- Is il not fair to that the police VIII do
their utmost they always have to prevent lawbreakg
and inuStices2
The REQUEST is not mere request IT seems to be
nothing more than endeavor to create weapon that
will cause property owners to hesitate before demanding
higher rents their property though the higher rents
sought are emnenty fair. 1t an attempt to ntimldate
property owneran act equally as unjust as would be an
attempt to ntimidate tenants.
If landlords and property owners violating any.aw
or are poteerng rents they should be brought before
the courts of the District and made to suffer the seVereSt
penalties of the law if landlords and property owners
are merely trying as the great majority of them are to Sc
cure FAIR return the money they have invested IN
Washington real estate then they should not be harasSed
and intimdated by any petition for police protection
# any laws are violated here knowing day., the
Washington police will be ready and eager to arrest all
offenders They will be ready to make these arrests ana
thew will make them, WITHOUT ANY REQUEST.
1t an insult TO ask a man to do his Duty
