TAMMANY Men
AID LANDLORDS
Will Pigeon-hole Bills
Extending Rent Laws


ALBANY, March 6. With the
consent of high Tammany poll icians,
including Gov. Smith, all bills to ex-
tend the Emergency Rent Laws,
which expire June l, this year, will
be pigenholed until the close of the
present session of the state legisla-
ture, it was learned from reliable
sources today.
More than any other man, Gov.
5mi h, elected on "better housing"
slogan, is helping the powerful real
estate lobby to permit the Emergency
Rent Laws to die natural death.
For more than a week he has in his
hands the report of the state housing
commission on whether an emergency
does or does not exist, in their opin-
ion, and had refused to make it pub
lie.
Helps Landlords.
This report is said to be unfavor-
able to the tenants. Credence is given
TO this rumor because the commits
sion, in recommending the extension
of the rent laws last year, said there
would no. be any emergency after
June 1, 1923.
Having forestalled the issue for so
| long, Gov. Smith has made it viTtu-
ally impossible for the scores of ten
ants organizations to mobilize dem
onstrations sufficiently powerful to
force the legislators, fearful of losing
votes, to extend he rent laws before
the legislature adjourns.
| All standing committees of the
Legislature, with the exception of the
| judiciary committee, went out of ex-
istence today. This means that it
viii be impossible to hold joint
open hearing on whether shortage
of relatively moderate priced apart
ments does or does not exist, as was
done in former years.
To Raise Workers Rent.
Tens of thousands of workers liv-
ing in apartments renting q. SIS
per room and less per month will
have their rem raised after June /
# the Emergency Rent Laws die.
There will be no check on the land
lords. They may double a tenants
rent or dispossess any tenant within
five days.
Tenants living in apartments rent
ing SIS per room and less cannot
now be dispossessed except for non
payment of rent and unless the land
lord himself wan to occupy his
apartment. The real estate lobby is
reported to have spent several for
tunes this year and is expecting to
harvest after June /.
Housing Crisis Severe.
Tenants leaders assert that the
housing crisis is worse than q. any
time in the past five years because
the so-called building boom has been
confined only to high-priced apart
lments renting between SIS and $50
per room.
They point to the unemployment
situation which Gov. Smiths own
state indus rial commissioner report
ed was the worst IN SIX years, as an
added reason why the death of the
rent laws will cause much suffering.
Four tenants organizations held
mass meetings yesterday and voted
to ask Gov. Smith to hold hearing
IN person on the housing situa ion.
Compliance with this demand is high
iy improbable, it is said, in the face
Of the Tamnnany governors attitude.
he four groups were the Washing
ION Heights Welfare League and Ten
ants Assn; the Academy Tenants
Assn; the Hamilton Community
Council, and the fremont Tenants
League.

Chef, Surrounded
By Food, Starves
Almost to Death

By the Associated Press.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, October S.
Edward Connolly. SO years old, a
chef, was surrounded by food for
seven days, and yet. he said yester-
DAY, nearly starved to death.
Connolly found himself locked in
a boxcar which was shunted to a
lonesome siding. The car was loaded
with boxes of canned food, packed
high all around him.
When his pounding on the door
finally brought rescue yesterday,
Connolly explained that he had
feared to break into the food be-
cause it might be thought he was
stealing. When hunger finally drove
him to consider getting into the
food he had lost his knife and could
not open the boxes.
