Landlords Threaten
On ar &c S Against
Rent Court Judges
Won't Be a Decent Owner
Left in New York CITY
if Persecution Is Kept
Up, Association Asserts

Apartment house owners, through
the United Real Estate Owners Asso-
citation, of which Stewart Browne is
president, threatened yesterday, in a
communication to the press, to bring
charges against certain Municipal Court
Jsutices as result of recent rent case
decisions. The communication refers
to "shyster" lawyers and "shyster"
tenants. 1t holds that there were no
rent cases prior to the signing of the
armistice. The communication follows
in part:
1--WE have invariably opposed all rent
profiteering and were and still are in
favor of rent laws that prevent the
eviction of tenants willing to paw
square deal rent, which we claim should
be at least 1914 per cent net income
We have Loyalty supported the Lock
wood committee and the Mayors com
mittee, and have never publicly ques-
toned court administration of the rent
laws until now. We refused to test
the constitutonality of the rent laws,
would be held to be constitutional.
Subsequent to the armistce, not
because of the rent laws but because
of court administration of them, shyster
tenants and shyster lawyers have
rapidly multiplied in number; even
fairly decent tenants have been encour-
aged in shyster practices. There are
to-day more landlords receiving less
than per cent net income, although
manw do receive % per cent income,
either because of or in spite of the
justices. The smaller income is due
to the fact that the great Majority of
landlords won't GO into court and stand
the abuse and injustice Of some JUS
tees and most tenants. Instead they
are selling their properties to shyster
landlords.
IF the present practices continue, in
time there won't be decent housing
landlord left in New York City.
Many of the. justices are fair and
square and do mete out justice, but
many of them either don't know what
the rent laws or the higher court re-
don't care. Many decisions have be-
come such a travesty of justice that
we are forced to recognize that the
time has come to prefer charges
against certain justices. 1t is a parody
of justice to permit new tenant to
rent an apartment and sign lease
therefor at specified rent and after
possession is obtained uphold the ten
ant in his refusal to pay such rent.
"As to our new leases and letter of
advice to landlords, some justices and
many others seem to think that the
rent laws prevent the making of agree
ments between landlords and tenants
and that a contract is a scrap of paper"

U. S. May Refuse Entry
To Egyptian Raw Cotton
Contracts Of Factors With Liv.
erpool Ship Owners May
Be Held Unfair

There is danger of a suspension of
shipments of Egyptian cotton from
Alexandria to the United States this
season, owing to the refusal of the cot
ton factors of Alexandria to cancel
private contracts made with members
of the Liverpool conference of steam
ships and to the provisions of the mer-
chant marine act of 1920, under which
the right Of entry at an American
port may be refused to a foreign
judged unfair.
According to the National Foreign
Trade Council of New York, the United
States Shipping Board agreed to carry
Egyptian cotton to the United States
for 40 shillings ton, and to England
for 25 shillings, in submitting bids
called for by the Alexandria cotton
men. The bids put in by the Liver
shillings and 40 shillings, respectively
AS the result of deadlock in the
executive committee of the Alexandria
Produce Committee the United States
Shipping Boards bids were not &C
copied. The Liverpool conference
then produced their private contracts
with the cotton shippers, under which
the cotton would move by British ships
and at a higher rate per ton.
AS the matter now stands, should the
deadlock in the Egyptian cotton COM
mittee not be broken, and should the
United States Shipping Board declare
the Liverpool conference guilty of I'M
fair methods, no shipments of Egyp
tian cotton will be made to the United
States this season. Last year the ship
ments amounted to 100000 bales.

and loan societies and actual savings
ranks who devote about 30 per cent of
their deposits to home building, that
the savings departments of national
banks, state banks, trust companies and
insurance companies, comprising more
than one-half of the total. probably do
not lend more than ID or IL per cent Of
their savings assets to housing.
Mr.. Hoover has suggested that 40 or
50 per cent of the $3.50. 100000 of de-
posts in postal savings banks could be
diverted to this purpose, as we'll as a
larger proportion of the savings de-
posits of national banks through
anandment to the Federal Reserve act.
~ believe" Mr.. Hoover said, "that we
should have very much more stable
economic system if we had more reg
ular proportion of our savings avail
able to home building. There is, in
fact, no other economic fund than our
savings institutions from which our
home building can be safely secured"

Savings Deposits to Relieve
Home Shortage Is Hoover Plan
Secretary Finds Most of $22 600, OOO, 900 in Banks
Is Put Into Bonds and Commercial Paper,
While 100000 Houses Are Needed

WASHINGTON. July 17.--Plans for
renewing the estimated shortage of
i,Soo'o0O homes throughout the country
through the diversion of greater pro-
portion of the nations $22 900, 900 900
IN savings deposits into home building
are ar under consideration by Secretary
The, Commerce Secretary considers
mat there has been q tendency during
the last few years for the savings Of
the people to find their way into com
merc!ai paper, bonds and similar Sc
curit'es rather than into home build
ing while critical housing situation
mas developed with about lit families
for each 100 homes.
The chief reliance of the country in
the necessary financing of home build
ing, in the opinion of Mr.. Hoover, must
DC the savings institutions. With a
total of $2S,o00,0 100000 available from
these sources, he believes it will be
found. after eliminating the building

Relief Matter of Time

"If this steady march of progress at
the rate of over 1000 families planned
for every week since tax exemption
took effect keeps up" the report con-
tinues, "the adequate relief of the
city's present housing distress is only
matter of time When the second
10000, 900 Of investments becomes an
accomplished fact and is transformed
into new houses there should be sub
stantial relief.
Those who put money into houses
now will combine safety of investment
with public service of the highest sort
If those investors who are holding off
could look at any habitation in this
town where two and sometimes three
families have had to crowd into the
quarters formerly occupied by only one
family they would hesitate no longer"
The report calls attention to the pro-
vision of the law that advantage of
the tax exemption for ten years to
January 1, 1882, cannot be taken un-
less construction actually has been be-
gun before April 1, 1922. This leaves
short period now for beginning new
construction before cold weather.
Houses begun after April /, 1922, will
have to pay the full tax.

Costs Lists FrOwned On
By Federal Trade Board

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Trade as
ISOLATION lists to members showing
costs of manufacturing and distribu-
ton seem to be open to question be-
cause of their tendency to induce those
who use them to disregard their actual
and individual costs and to adopt
standards or averages which do not
relate to their business, and to add
the margin" the Federal Trade Com
mission said in letter on its way to-
day to F. J. Moss, of Kansas City, Nc.
Mr.. Moss asked the commissions view
on plan proposed by the Millwork
Cost Information Bureau to have mem
hers submit to a central agency their
actual costs on completed products
from which the average or standard
costs are computed.
