A TENANTS LEAGUE

Tenants OF New York city have
been offered a chance to show wheth-
er they really feel as badly about the
rental and housing situation as they
ray they do. A citizens housing
league Is In process OF formation to
promote the interests OF the suffering
tenant, and Of his landlord, too. II
enough people join the movement,
which is cooperative. the plans will
be carried to completion. Otherwise
the league will perish in infancy and
the individual be left to fight his bat
tie alone.
The object OF the league Is "to
stimulate home building, protect ten
ants from pr0fteering landlords, de-
feat harmful legislation and furnish
mebers with paid counsel in differ
ences with landlords and in actual
cour proceedings" The fee for mem
bership will be but 81 year. 1t is
estimated that 100000 members are
essential to swing the thing.
There are probably more than 300.-
600 persons In New York who have
had housing difficulties OF one sort
or another in the past few years, but
whether they will cooperate as sug-
gsted is thing that only time will
tell. Too often the same sort of in
dividual suspicion and selilshness
which leads to AN abuse interferes
With concerted effort TO remedy it.
The plan Is good one, none the less,
for while one disgruntled individual
may kick against the pricks in vain,
union OF such individuals is pretty
sure of respectful hearing.

FIRE BREAKS OUT
IN A TAILOR SHOP
Alarm Calls Firemen to Place
Of S. {. Berry On East
High Street

Tho fire department was called to
the tailor shop of Samuel G. Berry. in
the Chamber of Commerce building
on East High street, at $50 Thurs
day evening by an alarm. In the alb.
sence of Mr.. Berry, fire had broken
out in small cupboard The cause
Is unexplained. The damage done
was relatively small, the woodwork
and ceiling being but slightly burned.
The firemen were able to put out the
fire by the use Of the chemical tank.
Mr.. Berry thinks the fire may have
been caused by n match or cigarette
carelessly thrown down. He recalls
that just before he closed his shop
two young men were in the place and
1t is possible that one of them may
have thrown match or a cigarette
at cuspidor that stood near waste
paper basket. Mr.. Berry closed his
shop Immediately after they left and
some time later was greatly surpris-
cd to hear the fire signal and to see
the fire department stop at his place.
This is the first fire he has ever
had although he has occupied his pres.
ent location some 16 years. He car
ried no insurance. He estimates his
loss at between $3.50 and 5000.
