Tenants Demand
More Concessions
In Rent Strike

Although the landlord has agreed
N cancel the raises In rents. there
has been no settlement OF the rent
strike started two weeks ago by AZ
tenants in the Lawn Apartment Ho-
rel. PSI East Vernon Highway.
The resembling OF the order IL
increase the rents In the apart
ments has projected another contro-
yersy into the rent strike and pro-
yoked a stalemate between the land
lord and tenants. The tenants,
through selected committee. has
demanded signed agreement from
the landlord. Samuel Fellman. that
the cancelling OF the raise will be
permanent.
This demand, along with several
others, was voted at a meeting held
Monday night In the Huffman build
ing under the auspices OF the Rent
ers-OOnsumers league. an affiliate
Of the CLIO. The Renters-Consun-
ers league has been supporting he
tenants In the strike.
Demand Concessions
The tenants are also demanding
that the landlord provide laundry
in the basement so that the wash
ing will not have to be done In the
apartments, decorate the apartment
and halls. and replace old and brok-
en- furniture with new.
The proposed raise In rents In
creased the price OF the apartments
on the first. second and third floors
from s12 to s13. Those In the base
ment would haze been raised from
81 to $l2. They also want the
landlord to recognize a committee
Of management which has been Sc
lected.
Albert Law. chairman OF the COM
mittee representing the striking
tenants. said his committee was still
negotiating with Fellman.
The rent on these apartments
has been raised from seven dollars
TO twelve in the past three years"
Law said This gives the landlord
a monthly income OF more than
$4,000. price which justifies our
demands that he decorate and pro-
