TENANTS WAR
ON HIGH RENTS

Boston, Mass, April 2S.-Massa-
chusetts has not yet been able 70
make up for its shortage Of homes
and keep rents from sky-rocketing.
A state commission on the necessities
OF life IS struggling with the problem
but meanwhile tenants In this city
and elsewhere have obtained little re-
lief Several tenant groups recently
refused to pay advances in rent de-
manded OF them and by Joint action
avoided eviction which would have
been legal upon 80 days notice
Two hundred tenants at Revere
have formed a corporation known as
the Tenants league to combat rent
increases and have announced that
they viii tolerate no more advances
in rent and requested aid from the
city's local department The issue
there IS still in doubt.
Try Arbitration.
An attempt TO solve the problem
by arbitration has been made IN
Brockton, a shoe manufacturing
center. A board composed Of two
tenants two landlords and a fifth
member 70 be selected by the others
is to decide whether rents have been
unduly advanced when disputes arise
between landlords and tenants.
The commission on the necessities
OF life has investigated the housing
and rent problems and has con-
tributed a number OF suggestions for
their solution but as vet has made
no formal report. 1t has urged the
cities TO form housing corporations
and take over and improve abandoned
tenements by w0rkingmen who had
moved to better ones. The commits
sion found there were 5000 tenements
which were unOccupied because the
LANDLORDS would not remodel them SO
as 10 make them fit for occupancy.
BIZ 10 Curb Speculation.
At the suggestion OF the commits
sion Bill has been introduced into
the legislature that would limit the
return from investments in dwelling
houses TO s percent The purpose OF
il is 70 prevent speculation in homes.
The commissioners found that many
builders had STONED construction be-
use Of the high cost OF labor and
materials and had gone TO specu1atinE
IN real estate. The result was that
frequent sales Of property were fol-
lowed BY advances in rent In many
cases tenants were forced ont OF their
homes SO that the landlords might
demand higher rates from new occu-
pants Massachusetts corporations
have attempted TO relieve the housing
shortage by erecting community
houses Whole villages Of attractive
houses are being erected IN New Bed

FOCH MOVES 100000
MEN INTO NEUTRAL,zONE
BY WILLIAM MALLABAR,
International News Service.

LONDON, April 6.-One hundred
thousand French troops are being
moved forward from the Rhine into
the German neutral zone by Marshal
Foch. according TO a report current
It is regarded as significant that
the Daily Express, which is close to
A. Bonar Law, stated this morning
that France would not move her
troops from the Rhine without allied
approval.
From a reliable source II Ia learn
ed that the advance ordered by Mar
shall Fochy took the cabinet by sur
prise and may result in tense di-
plomatic situation.
Numerous reports were current.
One of them was to the effect .hat
Great Britain had reversed her for
mer opposition to the French advance,
having become convinced that Ger
many had sent more than a mere po-
lice force into the Ruhr district. This
report was without official confrma-
tion, however.
Developments indicate that Marshal
Fouch, foreseeing allied opposition in
the French troop movement. ordered
the French forces to advance immc-
diately. The occupation of towns in
the neutral zone has already led to
important diplomatic exchanges, 1t is
understood.
According to adviccs reaching the
war office, the German government
has sent 100000 German troops into
the Ruhr district
