 Before Legisla- tors

Albany, N. r., March 23.-The hearing before legislative commit tee accorded New York landlords and tenants on cross examination in the hearings to curb rent profiteering wound up tonight with racket eq- ualled only by that heard at a world series game tied in the ninth inning | Charges and counter charges misses and cheers, cat calls and iran tic clapping of hands mingled with cried of "put him out" as opposing factions clashed in debate before the special joint legislative commit, tee considering the proposed rele1 measures.
 Landlords and tenants, about a hundred to a side, who arrived from New York, faced each other across the assembly chamber and it seemed at times as if only the fact that they could not get at one another pre- vented them from coming to blows.
 Municipal court justices from Ne" York denounced Speculative land. lords" who raised rents as "rent hogs, and conditions which they described was said later by James P. Holland president of the State Federation o1 Labor to apply with equal force tf other cities of the state.
 The first real fire works, however came. after the Rev. Dr. c. c. Carse den of New York had finished speak ing on behalf of the tenants. Mrs Harry c. Arthur, Bronx landlady complained that Dr. H. W. Berg, realty man, had passed an insulting remark concerning Rev. Carseden.

| Rotterdam, March 23.-The condi- tions of the Rhine provinces were virtually every town is in the hands of the workmen rapidly are ap preaching a duplication of the condi- tions prevailing in soviet Russia. 1 According to the Rotterdamche cor respondent in Essen and Dortmund, the first step following the proclama- ton of soviet republics was the open i ing of prisons and the freeing of all prisoners. Coming closely upon the heels of this order an invitation to ! the bourgeosie to surrender all fire arms and announcement that failure to comply would entail prosecution l by the revolutionary tribunal. The correspondents say that the hardest 1 task of soviet government would be 1 to maintain rationing: that failure in this respect would not be m- !, probab ble owing to the existing scar city of foodstuffs, and that a com promise with Berlin would be neces- sary.
 The hope of the soviet government, they assert is to get food in eX- change for coal from Holland.
 The soviet councils have taken the sharpest measures against footing, say the correspondents, but they are requisitioning provisions and other commodities without pay.
 Most of the other newspapers and dispatch from the Wolff bureau the semi official German news agency declare that the soviet towns are absolutely under soviet censorship.
