Action taken by the Central Fed
Grated Union last Friday night in in
structing its $4,000 members to refuse
to pay rents considered exorbitant and
to back up their stand with threats of
strikes will be brought to an issue at a
meeting next Friday night, when the
unions committee on legislation will
report. The committee, after obtaining
legal advice, will outline a scheme for
a widespread reduction in rents.
Edward l.. Hannah, president of the
union, said yesterday that since rents
and food costs within the last few
months have increased from 15 to 25
per cent, general discomfort exist
among workingmen over their present
wage agreements, which were made on
the promises Of public officials, in
cluding President Wilson and Attorney
General Palmer, that the peak had been
reached in the high cost Of living.
similar discontent- is growing, he
pal authorities to combat the unchecked
tendency Of landlords to increase rents
Having been pledged the support OF
the Federation, members have been in
structed individually to carry out this
program:
To refuse to pay increases demanded
by landlords and in cases Of threaten ed
eviction to appeal to Mayor Hylan to
have the city pay tho costs Of court
action.
To point out to employers the i'm
possibility Of continuing present wage
scales If the present high rents and
prices of food are not lowered. Mr..
Hannah said union members were be-
ing rapidly driven to the position that
they cannot live on their incomes.
To call on Mayor Hylan for definite
action which will include an announce
ment that rent proflteers will receive
no mercy in cases where tenants are
threatened with eviction. It is also
planned to report to the Tax Depart
ment all big increases in rent.
Union ofiicials also are planning a
dcmonstration, to be held either in
Madison Square Garden or the Central
Opera House, where all rent payers will
be invited to express their views.

Abandoned Ships Crew..
Saved at Sea, Due Here
Master and Eleven Men Res
cued 500 Miles East Of
Virrinia Capes

S, The Lamport & Holt liner Vasari
bound from Buenos Ayres, to this port
in command Of Captain Oscar Penrice
rescued yesterday the master and crew
of the. abandoned American schooner
Eva B. Douglass about three hundred
miles cast Of the Virginia Capes.
The brief radio from Captain Pen
rice announcing the rescue was picked
up by the United States Naval Com
munication Service. The skiprer said
he had come upon the Douglass in lati~
tude 1882 north, Longitude 71,25 west,
and that he had taken aboard the slas-
ter and his entire crew Of eleven men.
The Vasari was expected to arrive
yesterday forenoon, but it Is assumed
she was held back while standing by
the Douglass, which was later aban-
doned. On his last run to this port
Captain Penrice received u silver tablet
ordered by his passengers by wireless
and presented to him on arrival here
as an appreciation Of his skillful hand
ling Of the VasarA in exceedingly heavy
weather.
The Eva B. Douglass, q four-masted
schooner of 1000 tons gross, was built
in Bath, Me-, in 1885. She was owned
BY. the Olympia Ship Corporation, and
left Bnenos Ayres for this port Decem-
ber II. The Vasari, which left Buenos
Ayres sixty-four days after the Doug
lass had set sail for New York, had
passed her on the 6,0O0-mile run down
the coast, and CHANGED to come by her
on the northern run when all hands
were ready to abandon the ship.

CHICAGO, March 7.-"Unfair. This
apartment will not be vacant May 1.
The agent of the landlord demands an
80 to 100 per centuincrease. Do you
want to buy lawsuit"
Thus read placards distributed to in
dignant tenants of, the. Wilson Avenue
district after q mass meeting at St..
Simon's Parish House to-day. In very
short time the cards appeared in the
windows, and the fight between land
lords and tenants in what is expected
to be city-wide rent "strike" was on
in earnest.
Tenants will be organized in their
respective neighbour oods with secre-
tary and business agent at the head
Of each body, according to Major H. S.
There also will be central committee,
composed of president, vice -presi-
dent and secretary, augmented by the
business agents of the neighborhood
organizations.
First steps in effecting the proposed
organization will be taken this week.
Another campaign meeting, to be ad-
dressed ycity Aldermen, and other
prominent citizens, will take place to-
morrow night at the Eugene Field
School under auspices Of the Rogers
Park Tenants Protective Association.
At q North Side meeting former
Judge Robert Turney concluded an ex-
hortation to sixty disgruntled tenants
with request for "vote Of con-
fidence." springing to their feet with
cheers those present renewed their
resolution to sign "a separate peace
with either the Chicago real estate
board or. the special Aldermanic COM
mittee.

be known as local. will elect one

Cannon Advises
Hylan to Call
Tenants Strike
Continued from sase one

the rent strikes which have met with
success in Jersey City.
"1n February five thousand families
refused to pay increases asked by land
lords. OF these only sixteen cases got
to the courts. Nine were settled while
the cases were pending; six cases went
to the jury, and in no case did the
landlord win. This month $500 cases
80 far have been reported, and only
pne has gone to trial.
This is one remedy that might be
tried in New York. But it is only q
temporary one. Another temporary
remedy Is to enact measure requiring
landlord to give three months notice
before he can evict because of refusal
to pay higher rent.
- "The idea of the city erecting homas
Is not new. 1t is thoroughly feasible.
The city would lose nothing by it. I
am not sure that it would even hc
necessary to obtain from the Legis-
lature permission for the citv to in
crease its bonded indebtedness. be-
cause the homes would be self-sustain-
ing and if the buildings all were sold
within three years the whole deal
would be wiped out. England solved
inc housing problem In this way. Fore
seeing that because Of the no-buildinp
period during the war great part Of
the population would be houseless. it
called upon the municipalities to con-
struct homes with the warning that If
the homes were. not 80 constructed the
government would do it and issue
bonds against the municipality.
I'm New York the situation Is
serious. l am told that about 1000
600 more persons live there than the
city can adequately take care Of. This
situation is growing worse because of
the $4,000 newly married COUPLES
which normally look for homes and
because of the great number Of dis
charged soldiers from other places who
decided to live there"
a scheme for the creation Of 4 mu-
niclpal housing bureau, which would
erect modern apartment houses on on
property owned by the city and rent
the apartments at cost, has been
launched bv Alexander Braunstein. of
the 32d District. Mr.. Braunstein thinks
a public hearing should be held on the
proposal. He has asked all persons in
tsrested in the project to write to
William 7. Collins. chairman Of the
Committee on Public Welfare, City
Hall, and ask for the hearing.

taurAnt, IN 11bth Street, where his boss
and . fried egg sandwich generally
could be found harmoniously blended
1t that. hour of the. night.
According to the conglomerste &C.
count u the forty witnessed, the po-
licemsn. who had accompanied Gordon
into the Unique, did not wait to find
out which diner was Gordon's boss, but
drew their billies and went through
the restaurant like q dog after wood
chuck. :.
Havor Wrought In Restaurant
The air was filled, the forty said,
with country sausages, mashed pota-
tees, buckwheats, fried eggs, minced
ham, hamburger, objurgations and
lamentations. Gordon, seeing that his
BOSS wasn't in the Unique after all,
had decided to look for him elsewhere.
When he got back, which was after
the policemen had emerged, he scarcely
recognized the Unique nor any Of its
guests. most OF them looked like
new variety of practical sandwich man
The policemen, according to Jack
Dolgofy, had gone into an adjoining
cigar store where Jack was discussing
with the proprietor the advantages Of
Havana over New York. AS soon as
the policemen entered, Dolgof said
Dolan hit him on the head with a
blackjack.
BY that time the sidewalk outside
was congested with wrsthful throns
which had armed itself literally with
cutlery selected from the debris in the
Unique, and the policemen went out
again. The wrath Of the mob subsided
however, when its objects were sighted
and the policemen, hopeless Of finding
either Gordon or his boss, strolled up
toward the 116th Street subway sta
tion. They were getting on train
when q traffic patrolman, whom some
level headed member Of the crowd had
found, came upon them and took them
to the police station.

Pistols. One American Is
Held ON Ransom Demand

Ell PAS0, Texas, March 7.-Francisco
Villa commanded the bandits who held
up and robbed the north bound Mexico
City passenger train near Corralites
last Thursday, when thirty-three per-
sons were killed and several held for
ransom, including one American, ac
cording to passengers who reached Chi
huahua City to-day.
The passengers said the train was
stopped by an explosive placed on the
track, which derailed the locomotive
pitched battle ensued between fifty
Yaoui soldiers of the train guard and
Villa followers to the number of 800,
commanded by Francisco Villa in per-
son. Nineteen soldiers, four civilians
and ten bandits were killed when tho
fighting ended with the retirement Of
a sub-iiutenant and six Yaquis, all of
the train guard who remained un-
wounded.
Villa Kills One Man
Villa then herded the passengers to
a nearby hill, threatening them with
death. Apolinar Ruvalcaba, train con-
ductor, and Jesus Garcia, Pullman con-
ductor, were killed, the latter by shot
from Villas pistol.
An American, Joseph Williams, an
employee Of the American Smelling
and Refining Company, and M Nassar
an Arabian passenger, were held for
ransom, while another American, r. W
Black, was not detained.
After vainly attempting to open the
express car safe the bandits set fire
to the train. Before leaving Villa
harangued the passengers, telling them
he was not bandit but that he was
fighting for civil liberty and to avenge
the death of General Felipe Angeles.
He said that trains would not be
permitted to run.
Report Some Burned to Death
The passengers walked twenty-four
kilometers north where they were
picked up by train from Jiminez.
1t IS rc>>acted that several passengers
hidden in the cars were burned to
death, but this is not confirmed.
Military officials in Juarez said they
had no official report Of the train hold
up. Corralitos is about.4OO miles south
of Ell Paso.

Thomas A. Dolan, y headquarters de-

charged with assault and paroled by
Magistrate SchwAb for examination to-
morrow. No charges were made against
William Sullivan, . traffic patrolman,
who accompanied Dolan on tho Sat
urday night outing which led to the
formers arrest.
1t was large and satisfactory night
for any two Irishmen, and when Dolan
was brought before Magistrate Schwah
the clamor Of the witnesses against
him sounded like Moscow street
whose residents have discovered that
q bank has opened, although when 9
census was taken it was found there
were only forty witnesses against the

being complainant by virtue Of bump
on his head which Jack could and did
prove Vas there, by parting his hair
and passing the fingers Of any doubtor
over the spot. His nearest rival. Alex
ander Gordon, another chauffeur, could
produce no bumps that had not some
chronological significance.
Tired Feet Started Diversion
Nevertheless the fateful adventure OF
the evening started with Gordon. The
policemen, both of them in plain clothes
and desirous Of resting their feet, came
upon Gordon's taxicab at precisely the
moment they had agreed that a taxi

When the driver wanted to know how
far was short ride there was some
delay. His fares fshed In their pock.
cts and, after clinking Of coins and
much mathematical talk, told him q
short ride was one about $3.50 long.
According to the policemen, they un.
derstood Gordon to say when the ride

Gordon said he didn't say anything Of
