CUBA FACES RENT RIOTS

Government May Regulate Prices
by Classifying Houses as {.
Public Utilities.

HAVANA, Cuba. July 23.-Disturb-
ances caused by excessive rents would
constitute infractions of public order,
which the government is bound to
maintain. and would justify the clas-
sifcation of rented houses as a public
utility and permit the government to
regulate rents. according to conten-
tions contained in a project to reduce
the cost of living being considered by
the administration.
1t is understood that the secretaries
of justice and commerce and labor.
who have been intrusted with the
task of finding means to solve the
rent problem, will submit this scheme
for giving the government control of
rents to the president and the full
cabinet at meeting next Monday.
1t is asserted that, unless rents in
Havana and the larger cities of the
interior are cut Immediately there
will soon be wholesale 'evictions and
consequent disorders. since the fnan-
cial crisis through which the republic
is passing and the obolition of cost
of living bonuses$ to thousands of
government employees have made it
impossible for tenants to continue
paying the exaggerated prices preva-
lent for several years.
Several demonstrations by tenants
already have been held in Havana.
and dispatches from the interior re-
port the first cases of revolt against
profiteering landlords.

taking, as well as the responsibility

The hazard, however, is not as
great as might be expected, for the
Himler Coal Company, a similar and

unqualified success.
The Himler Coal Company of Him.

in this case also. the entire stock

With no fear Of strikes, and with
an increased diligence on the part OF
! the workers, this company has pros.
pered. greatly. It has built an entire
town, Himlerville; constructed a re.

Himlerville with Kermit, KY, anl
