Tenants of the Darlington

sought to arrange a joint confer
ence with representatives of ten
ants organizations to prevent ex-

Average 80 Per Cent.
The increases in the Darlington
average about 80 per, cent. The
new rentals for nine apartments
were ordered increased from to 20
per cent, and the other boosts range
from 20 to So per cent.
Rents in the Darlington were
fixed by the District Rent Commits
sion about a year ago. The action
of the agents, was the first move
