More Confusion Seen.

Edward =. Doyle of tho Real Estate
Board said the new laws had resulted in
universal non-payment of rent or the Of
FER Of checks at the old rate" More con-
fusion was predicted for next month be-
cause the landlords. he said, win have no
money with which to pay interest on
mortgages, and the business of the saw
ings banks, in turn. will suffer.
The Real Estate Board instructed it's
secre tary to bring before Mayor Hylan
''the fac, that the chairman and counsel
Of his rent profiteering committee are
quoted in the public press as privately
and publicly advising tenants to defy the
law respecting the binding effect OF leases
and other rental agreements"
The specific'@lse cited is a ruling by
Justice Lehman in the Supreme Court
in the case of the Paterno Investing Cor
poration vs.. KatZ. the last part OF which
says that THE Legislature cannot give TO a
party 70 contract binding when made,
an option to tender in satisfaction of his
contractual obligation an amount smaller
than he agreed to pay
1t was further declared by the Real
Estate Board that the Joint Legislative
Housing Committee ignored certain facts
IN it's recommendations that the legisla-
ton passed at the special session was
based upon false premises. and that the
measures went through in spite of the
declaration OF authorities that the pro-
posed legislation would precipitate bitter
competition between tenants.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York, N.Y.) 1920-1924, 1920-10-02

These laws are not constitutional. They
nullify a contract entered into by two
persons. We are making new leases
this year on about one-third OF our
apartments, while me rest are now un-
der lease at different prices Il seems
10 me that If we can't get the value Of
our apartments this year we ought 10
get more for the leases which have lot
Yet expired. Must the right to break
leases be confined 70 tenants?
THE tenant who stays in an apart
ment. taking advantage of the new laws,
will be liable - damage If the laws are
proved unconstitutional. as I certainly
believe they viii be. The person with
the new lease. upon the refusal of the
cid tenant TO vacate. must 80 70 4 hCtel
and pay more. The man in the apart
ment will be liable for this amount and
for storage expenses of the furniture OF
any damage which the furniture may

thing for Mr.. Hilly and others TO thiniz
about"

Wealthy VIII Benefit.

ut is a fact" reads the statement
that wealthy tenants who had secured
leases three or four years ago at low
rentals will be the beneficiaries of this
legislation, passed ostensibly to help the
poor
Everything outside of complete So
cialization of real property for the pur-
pose of protecting tenants was done by
the Legislature at it's regular session.
What remained for the Joint Legislative
Housing Committee to do was to find
some way to stimulate the action of the
law of supply and demand, and to pro-
duce more housing. 1t has done prac-
tically nothing to this end The few
helpful results of the session. or most
of them, as they relate to landlord and
tenant and the housing situation were
suggested by the Real Estate Board at
| the regular session or urged at the ses-
| sion just held"
After a conference with twelve dealers
in building materials Tenement House
Commissioner Frank Mann, chairman of
the Mayors Committee on Housing, re-
ported that the building materials trust
was still at large so far as his COM
mittee was concerned. The committee
sent a report TO Mayor Hylan, who sug-
gested the conference, expressing the
opinion that the price of building ma
terials is regulated absolutely by the law
of supply and demand.
The Federal and State Investigations
of the alleged combination to hold up
prices were at a standstil so far as any
public announcements of progress were
concerned.
No Scarcity of Vans.
The strike of the van teamsters failed

A. Molitor. who organized the fleet OF

shOrcmen's strike. He was given credit
\ for breaking the strike. and several
/ union leaders have been quoted as saying
I that, on account of his work, the open
\ shop came very near being put into
effect in this city.
! The van owners said that police pro-
| lection had been assured them for their
vans and trucks. Col, Moitor's advent
as director of moving. It was announced,
| meant that negotiations with the strik-
| ers were at an end and that the open
! shop would prevail henceforth. A meet
ing was held last night at 140 East
Eighty-eighth street. at which Col. Moli-
tor explained HIS plans for expediting
moving. While the regular fall rush Is
expected to be over by October Is, van
owners are fearful OF a heavy rush in
the event OF large number of tenants

COURT DECISION
BLOW TO LABOR
Employers Given the Right to
Discharge Workers for
Joining Union.
RULING BY JUSTICE SIDDONS
Effect of Opinion Of District of Co.
!umbia Tribunal Is Far-Reachinq
and Will Be Looked Upon
as Backward Step.

The right to unionize does not su-
persede an employers right to dictate
terms of employment, nor to discharge
employees who join a labor union or
continue membership therein against
his wishes, according to a decision by
Justice Siddons of the District of Co
lumbia supreme court.
This ruling was made in denying an
injunction to the Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen against the Washing
ton and Old Dominion railway.
"The right Of labor is a personal
right" the court said, (which inheres
In the individual, and as a corollary
to that the right not to work must
equally be recognized"
The decision adds:
"1ts duty is to give effect to the
authoritative opinions and decisions Of

pany the right to dismiss its en-
ployees If they Join labor union"

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED.

A superficial observer of Uncle
Sans Republic during the last few
months might be inclined to doubt our
much boosted patriotism Sometimes
it does look as though we are going
tprctty far afeld with all our strikes,
our reckless spending and our recently
acquired aversion to work The last
named evil is really the root of the
whole trouble, and the rp,cdy lies in
educating the people to a knowledge
of the harm they are doing. 1t is not
possible that the same man who SO
bravely faced the fury of the Hun in
Europe would return and knowingly
inflct peril on the very country he
fought for. Nor would the mothers,
fathers, wives and sisters want the
work of their dead ones on the battle
! field to come to naught simply because
| they themselves are averSe to work.
That is exactly what is happening, but
| the great majority of American people
do not realize that the very lifc-bIood
of this country so dear to their hearts,
is being drained by their own thought
lcssncss and self-will.
What we need now is an army of
volunteers who will pledge themselves
to fight this enemy of Incidence the
same as they fought the enemy of
Autocracy, only with different wcap-
ons They must fight it with hard in
dustrial labor labor that will increase
our production. They must really earn
their wages-by working and not by
stalling. An army of real workers
would soon show the slackers their
mistake, and they would begin to work
too, in order to keep up with the
crowd.

There is legend among The negroes
Of South Carolina that back in the old
pirate days Captain Kidd and Cap
tain Morgan and the others used to
sail up the Savannah river and bury
their stolen douboons and pieces Of
eight In the sands Of the cypress
swamps. A fortune teller once came
through and for Il consideration of S25
each agreed to tell the negroes Just
where the gold was buried He col
lected several hundred dollars, and
then with great deal Of ceremony
stakcd out as many locations in the
sand as he had customers. He then
told them very solemnly to come to
that spot in the light of the moon,
stand directly over the stake and dig
at the end of their shadow. Then he
sailed away on river steamer. And
he never came back.

LOVE YOUR JOB.

LOVE YOUR JOB.
Are you trying to climb where the
chosen are;
Where the feet of men are few?
Do you long for Job that is worth
ones while"
Well, here is thought for you;
The pots of gold at the rainbow's end
Are sought by the teeming mob,
But the fairies who guard them choose

The man who loves his job
No matter what grip of hand he has,
How poor or strong his brain,
There's always place for the man
who loves
His work with might and main;
Does he dig a ditch or blaze a trail
Where the dreams of man may rum:
No clods of earth shall shoulder him
From his place out in the sun!
1t isn't the kick, it's not the pull,
That brings the strong man out;
But it's long time work and it's all
time will,
And a cheerful heart and shout
Have you faith in yourself: Do you
want to win?
There's just one thing can bring you

With the winners love your job!
