Fear Wholesale Evictions.
Recent decisions rendered by the
courts in landlord and tenant cases
have not only brought into being the
Tenants League, but precipitated a
crisis freighted with imminent peril to
Government employees and other resi-
dents of the District. who are now pay
ing exorbitant rentals, which prohibit
a proper expenditure for food, clothing
and the other necessities of life. Whole
sale evictioHs may be resorted to, in
which case the Tenants League can
develop plans in contemplation for
their relief.
The Washington public has long
; suffered and been silent. With the
doctrine of equal rights and privi-
leges. We have waited, trusted and
had faith in the little band that con-
gregates under the dome topped by
. the goddess of liberty, who are
servants Of a great people to do us
justice, because we are not permitted
! TO voice our sentiments in the Gov
ernment under which we live and to
which we pay tribute.
We earnestly request that you
urge immediate action on the Senate
! District committee report on housing
conditions in the District Of Column
bia. We direct your attention to the
fact that this report was submitted
to the district attorney in May, 1924,
and that five months have elapsed
I with no action taken upon it.
Hence, we, the members of the
Tenants League of the District of
Colum bia, plead for your prompt
executive action in the protection of
American citizens and the great body
of men and women who are here en-
ployed in the government service"
Officials of the league signed the
letter.
