LEAGUE OF NATIONS
NOW READY FOR JURY
SAYS GOVERNOR cox

SPRINGFIELD, H., Oct. 1.-THE
league of nations case is about ready
for the jury, Governor Cox Of Ohio,
Democratic presidential candidate, de-
clared here today in an address
launching his Illinois campaign. Sena-
tor Harding, his Republican opponent,
Governor Cox said, has given what ap-
pears to be an "ultimatum" against
the league, and the American elector-
ate, the Democratic nominee said,
has an unequaled opportunity Of
making a contribution to the civil
lied world"
Following up his publication today
of correspondence between Presi-
dent Wilson and former President
Taft in which the latter appeared as
the presidents advisor in the league
drafting, Governor Cox quoted Mr..
Taft to show that the former presi-
dent has repudiatei Senator Harding S
plan for a new world association.
The governor also reiterated his
charges that Chairman Hays Of the
Republican national committee was
behind conspiracy Of silence" to
stifle the Democratic campaign in the
,
ernor Cox, championing the league,
gave concisely what he said were the
four great causes of war and the four
league "curatives".
Says Case is Done
"If anything were needed to clarity
the present situation with respect to
the league of nations" said the gov
ernor, 'it has been amply provided
in the last few days. Senator Harding
in what would appear to be his ulti-
matum. compelled under the threat of
Senators Borah and Johnson, says
he is against the league without or
with reservations. So far as he is
concerned the matter is disposed of
and to use his own words he turns his
back on the whole thing. He offers
no alternative, but holds out the hope
that a new association of nations may
be formed.
Now comes ex-President Tafts
statement in which he says that Sen
ator Harding's suggestion is imprac-
ticable, that the league is now func-
tioning, has been in existence for eight
months, and that the rest of the world
can not be expected to undo plan
to which forty-one nations have ell
tered.
Cause Simpified.
Happily, cause which must go
to the voters of America has been
simplified and every voter that is de.
sirous of Americas participation in
the greatest enterprise in the history
of the world knows practically what
his vote for or against Senator Hard
ing means.
1t has been an easy matter to sense
the temper of the people in the
! last week. They resent the deliberate
plot of the senatorial oligarchy and
its political agent, William II. Hays,
head of the reactionary forces in Am
erica. to keep the facts joined to the
greatest issue of the country from be
coming public.
l have found it an easy matter to
present the basic principles of the
| league. 1t is based upon the primary
objective of preventing war. The pro-
found international authorities who
perfected it discerned the symptoms
of disorder in the world and applied
the remedy along common sense lines.

OWNED BY OCCUPANTS
(By United Press It

Boston, March 23.-The housing
situation here is acute according to
real estate authorities and contractors
who hold out little hope Of relief until
the cost of building material is low
cred and construction resumed. ~
The shortage of private dwellings
and apartments is due to great ex-
tent to the fact that during the war
there was very little building. The
end of the war found material so ex-
pensive that both individuals and con-
tractors hesitated to build. r, .:.' T..
The chief demand at present is for
apartments of from one to Ave rooms
and houses Of five rooms. An apart,
mcnt consisting Of living room, bed
room, bath and kitchenette which in
1914 rented for from $40 to $50,
brought from $35 to $50 last year,
and at present rents for between $40
to $50 month. -. y; .s"'&5 Z
Contracts have been let here for
the election. of 500-room apartment
block, the apartments of which will be,
sold to the tenants. '.-',;#s-
The plans call for apartments from,
one to six rooms. In addition the
building will have a community kitch-
on, recreation hall, dining room,
music hall, roof garden and sleeping
porches. '
Tenants wishing to purchase an
apartment may take possession and
pay monthly installments in the same
manner in which rent is paid. These
installments will be applied to the
purchase price and the tenant will be
given a deed to his apartment when
he completes his payments. The
monthly "rent-installments will be
much less than the average rent for
an apartment. :. = T. ~ ? III :!

CHICAGO HAS GREATEST
! HOME FAMINE IN HISTORY

Chicago, March 23.-Chicago faces
the greatest home famine in it's his

Jr, manager of real estate concern
here -, .
"Practically> every available space
for sub-dividing has been sold," Bart
lett said. ut isn't the land question
that's worrying real estate dealers
it's the building question.
There are more families in Chi
cago now than it has room for. Build
ers are unable to erect houses because
of the high price and scarcity of ma
terial.sa Material can't be touched re-
CARELESS Of the money the contractor
is able to pay. Where the material
goes cannot say definitely. The only
plausible reason I can find for the
shortage is. the large number of fac
tories under construction. Dealers
seem to ave this class of, trade pref
erence to the home builder. If dras-
tic means are not adopted soon to
cope with the, situation, Chicago will
lose a great number of it's. popu-
lace besause of the inability to house
them. g,., - .s r. ,,..a.~ ~ % - >>i..s
THE situation is so, pressing that
many people are moving into unfin-

or unheated. There are many build

tion with little hope OF immediate
completion; d. :, ~ -.

(By United Press


New York. March 23.-The rent
strike may he the tenants weapon
against profiteering landlords in New
York. a
Threat to strike against exorbitant
rents has been made in scores OF COM
munities following q tryout OF the
plan in Jersey City and Newark, N:
J., where, as has been. the case in
practically every city in the country,
unheard of prices have been charged
for rooms, fats, apartments and
houses in the midst of the most acute
shortage Of housing facilities the ma
ton has ever faced.
Data gathered by the United Press
indicates underlying causes OF high
rentals, as given by responsible real
estate dealers are:, go
/. Unprecedented slump in build
ing, accumulated by shortage of labor
and building material and aided by
increasing prices for both.
2. Flow of population toward the
city, in anticipation Of high wages
and an easier living. Thousands of
persons drawn to industrial centers
during the war have stayed in the
cities, going into other lines of work.
3. The appearance of thousands
of spectators, seeing chances to prey
on the many homeseekers. and their
renting of all available apartments,
outfitting them with cheap furnish
:. ings and then re-renting> them at
enormous prices.
New Y0rk's fight against rent
profiteering has already been started
by joint attacks by Mayor Hylan and
the Central Federated Union. The
mayor announced he, will confer with
Commissioner James f. Cannon OF
Jersey City relative to Gannon's
method Of handling the rent strike.
The Contra Federated Union, thru
Secretary Ernest Bohm. has decided
to ask introduction into the -leEisla-
ture Of a, bill protecting the rights
of tenants and making eviction i'm
possible where eviction is threatened
by refusal to pay exorbitant rents.
It was estimated here that rents
had increased on an average OF from
100 to $50 per cent. Simple and un-
pretentious quarters in poorer Sec
tions of the city, where not even all
t h 9 ordinary conveniences were
afforded, have been charged for at
from $50 to $35 a month, the same
fiat bringing from $40 to SIS four
years ago. -!
Rents in more desirable sections of
the city have scared from ,$45 and.
$50 for the average 4-room apart
ment. to- 500 and $3.50 a. month
Electricity and gas are invariably
charged for extra.
