Should the ONCE of Prohibition

which reorganization plans would
consign 1t or in the Department OF
Labor, under the proposed bureau
of recreation?
This question was brought to
focus yesterday by an announce
ment by Secretary Mellon, favoring
the ALLEGATION of the commissioner
to the law enforcing Federal branch
and by revelations on the part OF
the Secretary of Labor as to pro-
visions of a bill creating the rec
reation bureau, tentatively drawn
and subject to correction.
The argument advanced by ON
cials for the establishment of the
ONCE in the recreation bureau is
that the prohibition amendment
and the Volstead act might be
popularized IL the workingmar

sponsored means for edification and
enjoyment to take the place of his

$50 RENT DISPUTES

Influx of New Cases Follows
Decision of U. S. Supreme
Court.

Since the Supreme Court of the
United States declared the Ball rent
act constitutional. fifty new cases
from complaining landlords and ten
ants have reached the Rent Com
mission.
Upward Of 1000 cases have been
filed with the Rent Commission
since its inception, and, according to
Mrs. Clara Sears Taylor, rent COM
missioner. IS per cent of the deci-
sions given by the commission have
been ignored. This condition ca
lists because the majority of rental
property is owned by a few people, I"
said Mrs. Taylor yesterday.
1t is probable that the commits
sion will have a definite method of
procedure by Monday, in the event
it wishes to commence action in the
Municipal Court on violators of the
decisions passed by the commission
Next week, 1t is rumored, Presi-
dent Harding will NIL the vacancy
on the commission left by District
Commissioner Oyster. 1t is thought
that the new appointee will be a
business man, as the present com
missioners are both lawyers.
