 prevent the great influx of unprime
 skins into the hands of the traders aur.ng the early days of the open 'sason.

TENANTS
THREATEN WAR
ON LANDLO RDS
Organize to Fight the
Greedy Rent Hogs

The Jewish tenants, who have been
hard hit by the general increase in
rents this spring, organized in pre-
paration for an extensive rent strike,
at well attended mass meeting in
Division Hall, 244S Division Street.
The Jewish Mothers League, which
has been in existence seven years, is
leading the movement of the Jewish
tenants, who especially on the North
west Side, are faced with rent in
creases ranging as high and higher
than $50 per month. Mrs. Blumin,
Of the League expressed interest in
the Negro Tenants League, and told
the DAILY WORKER that at the
next executive meeting of the
Mothers League, steps would be
taken to unite all the organizations
into one militant body to fight the
rent hogs this spring.
Jewish families have had their
rents increased outrageously this
year, it was stated at the Jewish
Charities, 1900 Seldom Street. No
one has had their rent reduced, and
almost every fiat has been increased,
generally without apparent cause, it
was said.
There was some sentiment ex-
pressed at the mass meeting for the
building Of cooperative apartments,
but the majority of speakers con
tended that immediate relief is need
ed, and building additional houses
would not help matters now. 1t was
stated by Mrs. Blumin that the most
effective method of reducing rents,
and Of preventing an unwarranted
raise, is rent strike such as was
successfully carried on in Browns
vile district, New York last year.
Mrs. Blumin advised the tenants to
refuse to move and to refuse to pay
an advance of rent. If the Jewish
tenants take concerted action, she
said, the landlords will not dare to
evict them.

PORTO RICAN
WORKERS HAVE
NAUGHT TO SAY
Secretary Weeks Fears
Workers Rule

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Porto
Rican self-government is henceforth
to be conducted on a strictly class
basis, the working class being ex-
Guided from participation, according
to men who have studied the mysteri-
Gus negotiations centering about Sec
rotary of War Weeks and the Bureau
of lnsular Affairs since the hearings
on the bill providing that the gov
ernor of the island shall be elected
by the people. The workers, organ
lied in the trade union movement and
the Socialist Party, are to be shut out
by coalition of the Unionist and
Republican parties in the island.
1t appears that when Gov. Towner
and the various party leaders con-
cluded their testimony before House
and Senate Committees here last
month, the hearings were re-openad
for the purpose of writing into the
bill the definite guaranty that Ameri-
can sovereignty in the island should
not be questioned. This was due to
the fact that the Unionist party,
which represents the ruling reaction
airy element, had favored the idea of
independence at one time. Sen. Bar
cello, its leader, had been suspected
of wanting to make himself dictator
of an independent Porto Rico.
Barcelo is reported to have agreed
to the American sovereignty pledge,
if Weeks and the administration here
would give guarantees against radical
1akn
suggested an amendment to the bill,
providing that an elected governor
should be removable at will by the
president. This was rejected by the
Senate committee, whereupon Weeks
and Towner arranged with Sen. Tous
Soto, Republican leader, that Barcelo
and Tous Soto should get together
on a plan for requiring property quail
ifications for voting on the governor
ship.
AS the question of property quail
fications was the fundamental issue
upon which the long struggle for
Porto Rican territorial self-govern-
ment was won, under the Wilson adj
ministration-the qualifications being
rejected and the working class Of the
island retaining the ballot-this auda-
cious move by the propertied interests
had to be planned carefully and APP
preached only after considerable de-
lay. The delegation went home, and it
is reported that the two leaders now
contemplate special session Of the
legislature in order to modify the
governorship bill to the extent sug-
gested by Weeks and his advisers.
Assurances were likewise given the
sugar, tobacco and other American
exploiting companies in the island,
that the coalition of the UnionisS and
Republican forces would safeguard
Porto Rican holdings of these conf
panies for a long time to come; the
Socialist party would he excluded
from any chance of power.
Finally, Weeks told the newspapers
that he opposed the grant Of an cleo
tive governor to Porto Rico because
of the danger that Socialist to that
post. since the Socialist strength is
steadily increasing. This statement is
being used in the island to spur the
legislature to appeal to Congress to
REQUIRE special qualifications for vot-
ers on the governorship. M
