SHR|NERS WILL.
RESIST RENT
GOUGERS
Committee Expects Visitors
Will Pay Average Of So a
Day for Rooms.

Washing who attempt to
gouge visitors, during the Shrine
session in June in the renting of
their rooms are going to be dropped
from consideration in the matter of
assignments, it was announced to-
day by the Almas Temple 1923
Shrine Committee.
There are enough decent, public
spirited people in the District of
Columbia" the committee an
nounced, ito insure entire success
of the housing program. We are
not at the mercy of gougers and
profiteers and we will not deal with
them at all.
I'VE have assured our hundreds
Of thousands of prospective visitors
that they will be Justly treated and
will not be imposed upon, and we
intend to keep this promise"
It was pointed out that, during
the session Of 1920, in Portland, the
period Of the highest postwar
prices, the average cost of rooms
was 50 a day for each guest.
This average has been set for
Washington. The closer the rooms
are to the heart Of the city, of
course, the greater will be their
value. Those in the outlying sec
tons may be as low as 81 a day
Per person.
The visitors, it is explained, will
be in their rooms but little of the
time. They will come downtown
in the morning and will probably
not return until late at night, using
the rooms merely for sleeping pur-
poses. This will entail but little
burden and practically no expense
to the home-owner.
A number of Washington families
have already offered the use of their
homes absolutely free of charge.
They will take in the visitors as
their guests, giving them meals, if
necessary, free of charge. At least
two of the weather. residents, who
expect to be out of the city during
June, have offered their entire
homes and their servants for the use
OF the committee.
The arrangements for seating in
the huge grandstands to be erected
along Pennsylvania avenue and at
other points of interest are being
completed by the grandstand seats
committee. Of which Thomas e.
Ogram is chairman.
Seats in these stands will be sold
Tor the entire week of the session.
for So a week, it is announced. The
holder Of any grandstand ticket has
the use Of his seat at any hour of
the day or night from the first Mon
day in June to the following Satur-
day. Many reservations for seats
have already been made by Shriners
In all parts of the country.
