ing houses which did not have locks
or keys for the bedroom doors.
The new regulations likewise will
deal with some of the rooming-
house problems that have confront
ed Mrs. Hoffman and her organiza-
ton in the past. For instance the
question of the good moral char
acter of the operator of rooming
house will have to be certified to
by the Police Department before
: issuance of a license. And the
licensing and inspection of the
houses by the Health Department
will have a tendency to drive an
unscrupulous rooming-house pro-
prietor out of business.
81 Extra for Hot Water.
Fortunately, only a small num-
Der of cases involving an unscrupu-
lous rooming- house proprietor have
been called to the attention of
the housing association One case
concerned large house which had
been registered and approved by
the organizations Defense Housing
Registration Committee. Girls sent
there were told on arrival that all
the rooms had been filled but that
the proprietor had several other
rooming houses in another loca-
ton. Subsequent investigation
showed the accommodations in
these other houses failed to meet
the minimum standards set up by
the association and the name of
the proprietor was summarily
stricken from the registry.
In another case a room was ad-
vertised for rental at $3.50 week.
The girl who went to the house
to rent the room was informed
that in addition to the $3.50 rental,
there would be an extra charge of
81 a week for the use of hot water.
That case was reported to the Rent
control Commission.
Newcomers Mostly Involved.
Few of the complaints of this
character were made against board
ng-house operators who had been
operating for some time. Most OF
them, it was said, involved new
comers from various parts of the
country who foresaw an oppor-
tunity to make a Cleanup in the
rooming- house business when the
housing shortage became critical.
The character Investigation re-
quirement for rooming house pro-
prietors was written into the regu-
lations largely as a result of COM
plants over advances made to
women roomers by husbands Of
some of the women who run the
business. On the other hand some

AS Murray-Lewis
Breach Widens
Friends of c. |. o. Leader
Say Miners Chief Wunts
To Sturt Third Union
By the Associated Pless.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, March 16.-Home-
town friends and associates Of Phil
Murray said today the breach be-
tween the c. I. o. president and
John L. Lewis has been 80 widened
that an open showdown between the
two seems imminent.
Some OF Mr.. Murray's cloest friends
said they are convinced Mr.. Lewis,
head of the United Mine Workers,
has been moving for some time to
have that union desert the c. I. o.
and become the nucleus of q third
labor movement.
These sources declare Mr.. Lewis
has been quietly tightening his reins
over his union with the idea of
forcing Mr.. Murray out of his
$18, ,000-a-year job as its vice presi-
dent. That Is the only salary Mr..
Murray draws, although he is presi-
dent of the c. I. o. and of the Steel
Workers Organizing Committee.
Undercover Row for Year.
For more than a year, an under
cover struggle has strained the long
relationship of the bulldog like Lewis
and the more diplomatic Scotsman,
Mr.. Murray's friends said.
One public act last week, they
asserted, seemed to help bring the
situation to q head.
Mr.. Lewis appointed commits
sion Of five to supervise the regular
officers Of the West Virginia Dis
trict Of the U. A. w. The commits
sion is to investigate charges the
officers permitted violations of the
unions contracts, particularly by
slowness in collecting back fines
imposed In commercial mines dur
ing the captive" steel mines strike
last year.
ut was Just another move by
Lewis to strengthen his grip on the
U. M. w." commented one high
union official. He is wedding out
those friendly to C. I. o. Right now
he doesn't dare come out into the
open and try to oust Phil as vice
president even though he dominates
the Unions Executive Board. But

OLeary Mentioned.
The name of John j. OLeary,
board member from District S, which
once was headed by Mr.. Murray, is
being mentioned most often as Mr..
Lewis favorite to succeed Mr.. Muir
ray as vice president. Another
name mentioned is that of Percy
Tetlow, chairman of the West Vir-
ginia Investigating Committee.
Mr.. Murray two weeks ago laid his
position squarely before the board of
District and received full vote of
confidence. Mr.. OLeary did not
attend that meeting.
Mr.. Murray's friends said he and
Mr.. Lewis engaged in q sharp verbal
exchange recently In the lobby of
the United Mine Workers Building

said, stemmed from Mr.. Lewis pro-
