WERE USED
UNFAIRLY,
CLAIM
Friends of Commission Hold
That Labor Department
Statistics Were Misused.

That figures compiled by the
Department of Labor showing 34.3
per cent to be highest average
increase of rents attained in Wash
ipgton since 1914 are both "mis-
used and misleading" was con-
tended today by friends of the
District Rent Commission who are
waging a vigorous campaign to
have its life extended beyond May
20 next.
Figures Used by Foes.
Foes Of the Rent Commission
made capital of the Labor Depart
ment's rent increase estimate be-
fore the recent House hearings OH
the extension of the Rent Act. They
pitted them against what they
termed the 'haphazard and pre-
JUDGED calculations" of members
Of the Rent Commission who con-
tended that hundreds of local ten.
ants had appealed to them when
their rents were increased between
IS per cent and 200 per cent.
Today, it was learned through a
quiet investigation conducted by a
group of interested parties that
the Labor figures which the land
lords persistently stressed at the
hearings were, in fact, unfairly
quoted to prove that the 34.3 per
cent average increase was in keep
Ing with general advanced living
costs.
Labor Explains Figures.
Furthermore, it was announced to.
day, the Department OF Labor itself
explains that the figures could
easily be "misused," inasmuch as
@ey only include rental units &C.

vans family" 1t was further
R1ened that the figures were ar.

To get an accurate average OF
the percentage of increased rents
being asked in Washington since
the Rent Commission was created
one must only figure on those
properties which have been volun

given an opportunity to raise the
rent.

THE agitation for this legisla tiol
