IN WASHINGTON
OVER CHARGES
Controversy Is Taking
Lead in Local News
OF Capital.

WASHINGTON, Jan. s.
President Coolidge at the
November election was given
q four-year extension of his
lease on the White House
but nevertheless he is having
plenty of trouble these days with
Washington landlords.
By initiating steps to bring about
permanent government regulation
residence rentals In the district
Of Columbia. Mr.. Coolidge. whose
own home in Northampton. Mass, is
the rented half of a double house.
has brought down upon his head the
wrath OF Washington real estate
men. The result has been to fill the
afr here with statements and coun-
ter statements regarding rents. the
insertion of half rage advertise
ments in newspapers by the real
estate interests, and h-roadcasting by
the realtors of urgent appeals for
aid from their associates In other
cities.
These developments which Of late
have threatened to crowd from the
front pages OF Washington news
papers discussions of the French
debt uuetion. the postal pay bill and
the state of the navy. represent.
however. only a new phase in a
merry little war which has been
going on for several years between
Washington landlords and tenants.
The contest. which has had a
counterpart IN many of the coun-
try's cities, developed during the fall
the point of nea riots at public
meetings held by the tenants
league. Members of the league ac'
cused the real estate men of hiring
agents to break up their meetings,
and the owner of rental property as
represented In the Washington real
estate board charged the league
with 'bolshevik ideas"
President Coolidge entered the
lists about two weeks g on the
side OF the tenants by requesting
Richard whaley. chairman Of the
district of Columbia rent commits
sion and a former member Of the
house from North Carolina. to draw
up a regulator BIZ based on the pc
lice power OF the federal government
to maintain sanitary and moral con
ditions in the district.
The new legislation requested by
the president would take the place
OF the existing Ball Rent act, first
passed in 1919 and since. twice ex'

determine fair rentals on aplica
