House Famine Threatens
To Depopulate Detroit
Special Dispatch to Tho Tribune

opect6e DtSpdtch TO Ihe Tribune
DETROIT, March 25.-This city Is
facing an exodus of householders. be-
cause of an estimated shortage of from
$4,000 to $4,000 homes. Hundreds of
skilled workers attracted here by wage
opportunities are returning to their
old towns where their families "may
have the comforts and necessities of
home"
Regardless Of this fact. however.
laborers who have heard Of Detroit's
golden streets" and "playtime hours''
continue to pour into the city at the
rate Of 1900 weekly. Warnings of the
probable exodus have been issued by
the Community Union, which has in
vestigated the situation. One official
prediction is that if rents continue to
increase a we'll organized movement to
depopulate Detroit may be expected
and that it will act as warning for
others to stay away.
Causes of high rents and house
shortage are explained as follows:
An unprecedented slump in build
ing, accentuated by labor shortage and
building material and increased prices
Of both.
The rush of thousands Of machinists
to Detroit, attracted by the reports of
high wages and easier living.
The appearance of thousands of
spectators whose aim is to make
money at the expense of newcomers.

stating he would use every effort to
get the Senate to pass the measure on
Monday, and hoped that by the example
OF voluntary public observance the SEN

ALBANY, March Ex-Governor Smith
told The Tribune to-day that he stood
ready to help the Legislature in every
way IN its efforts to relieve the hous.
ing situation in New York City and
other parts of the state.

Governor, "to say that the conditions
growing out of the housing situation
are iintolerable, especially in New York
The Governor will send spec;a1
message on the housing situation to
the Legislature tomorrow. Accompany-
ing the message will be the reports
OF the housing committee of the Gov.

Associated with the Governors hous-
ing committee in it's investigation into

surance Company. There were two
other members Of this New York CITY
committee, Walter .Lindner and Clar.
ence n. Kelsey, representing loanine
institutions which lend on buildine
construction.
Landlords to Fight
Legislative leaders of both parties
expect the twelve anti-rent profiteer-
ing bills to be passed next Tuesday O,
Wednesday with little or no opposi.
tion. The landlords at whom the bills
are aimed have sent word to the Leg
lslative leaders that they intend tc
fight.
The landlords hold that the bills
take away their property rights; legis-
iatlve leaders declare that the Leris-
lature has precedent upon precedent
tor the proposed legislation. When
the usury laws were enacted in almost
every instance loan sharks raised the
cry that they were unconstitutional
and vlolative of property rights. Yet
in each instance the courts sustained d
the legislative restrictions on interest
which might be enacted on loans.
commenting on the anti-rent-profi-
teering bills, Simon L. Adler, majority
leader in the Senate, said:
"The bills were considered from
every angle before they were intro
duced We have no doubt that if thew
are attacked in the courts the constitu-
tionality of every one of them will be
upheld. There is plenty of precedent to
sustain the right of the Legislature to
afford relief from emergencies such as
now confronts u.s."
Similar expression as to the consti-

tutionality of the measures was voiced
by several other legislative leaders. 1t
is known that they were submitted to
some of the best legal minds in the
state and that the provisions of each
were gone over carefully by State
Attorney General Newton before they
were made the subject of yeste rday's
conference in the Office of Senator j.
Henry Walters, majority leader OF the
upper house.
Assemblyman George N. Jesse, Re-
publican, of New York, who will have
charge of the bills in the lower house
declared the opposition to the bills
came solely from the rent gougers.
The real people in the real estate
business in New York City" said AS
