yon1en Guests at Gov rnmeni
Hoteis Will Discuss Wat
son UItimatuIn.

The "pay without protest OF
get out by March 81" ultfmatum
of Robert Watson, president Of
the United States Housing Cor
.poration, 70 women guests Of the
Plaza hotels, will be the subject
of discussion at ! meeting 81
the Plaza council to be held to-
night 1t Z o'clock. Members 81
the council will meet with their
attorneys and it is expected that
every phase Of the situation
brought about by the $3.50 4
month raise in rent, which became
effective March is last, will be
taken up and some definite con-
clusion reached by the body as to
future action.
General Exodus RumOred.
& From the day the notice OF In
creased rental was placed on the
bulletins Of the hotels there have
been persistent rumors that : ma
jority OF the women Government
employees who occupy rooms In the
buildingg were ready to oppose the
raise, even to the extent of bringing
about q wholesale exodus, which
would have the effect 6 perma-
nentiy closing the establishments.
On the other hand, Watson and
Assistant Secretary of Labor Hen
ming have made it plain both to the
tenants and to the public that q
sufficient number OF guests must
remain In tho buildings or they
VIII be closed.
Government officials claim that
efforts have been directed entirely
to keeping the buildings open for
the women workers and that the
agreement reached between them
and the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
for q 100000 annual ground rent was
the only way this could be accom-.
plished. That the tenants must bear
the burden OF the increased rental,
they say, has been made plain to
them by Congress.
Point to Surplus.
The women guests are Of the opin-
ion that the additional rental as
sessed against them is unfair, mas
much as the hotels project showed
a surplus of approximately $S5 900
last year. This, they claim, IL more
than sufficient to pay the Baltimore
& Ohio, or, at least, to warrant only
very slight additional cost to the
women workers.
AS the situation now stands Gov
eminent officials and the women
guests are at standstilI. Watson
asserts that he cannot retract an
inch from his program. The tenants
are, through attorneys, endeavorinS
to find some solution to the problem.
II it il found at the meeting to.
night that attorneys are not able To
steer the tenants around the "pay.
without-protest" barrier, then the
workers will either have to submit
to the Governments ultimatum or
release their rooms.
Many Pay Increase.
It IL understood that there are
hundreds Of women guests who have
paid the additional rent without "pro.
test" and one of the questions to be
determined at tonight's session is
just how many Of the tenants are in
the protest" class.
An official Of the Plaza Council
said today that neither members of
the organization or their ATTORNEYS
knew what form the discussion would
take tonight: 1--WE will have to Let
circumstances direct our course In
approaching the NATTER she said.
