However, we must say that we have
fal EN- short of our hope of making the
Star fully self-sustaining by the end of
cne year. Nor have we achieved the goaa
of a $4,000 weekly circulation.
TODAY the Star is on a much more
sound footing than ever. The green staff
OF a year has natured considerably.
The editorial board has overcome many
of the knottiest technical problems.
We enter our second year fully aware
of the fact that the need for The Chicago
Star becomes greater each DAY. The at
tack of reaction has re-doubied in fury.
We are fighting a powerful and ruthless
enemy It is our one-year old Star against
the 100-year old Tribune. 1t is our low
budgeted 16-page tabloid against the bill
lion-dollar commercial press.
Fortunately, however, we are on the
side of the people-and they are on ours.
With that realization, we go into our
second year of publication with greater
confidence and with greater determination
to make our Star shining and guiding
star in the heavens over Chicago.

won the respect and the support of large
numbers of Chicagoans, principally the
workers in the shops and mills and pack
inghouses of our city
And it has earned the hatred of those
whom we are proud to call our enemies
the men of entrenched wealth and their
servants, the Chicago Tribune and its satel-
lites, the bowling fanatics of the fascist
Lfringe, the red-baiters, the Jew-baiters, the
Negro-haters.
There is still libel suit pending against
The Star, brought by the publisher of pro-
fascist literature whom the Star exposed
In its first issues the paper opened with
an attack on LaSalle Street in the series
called "Who Owns Chicago?"
In its second month, the Star won its
first victory 1t smashed a 42-year old
ban at Coyne School, the citys biggest
trade school, against Negro students.
At the request of the people and the
labor movement, The Star published spe-
cial editions that ran as high as $4,000
copies-in the November, 1916, elections,
when Wallace came to town, in the city
elections and when the Taft-Hartley Act
was passed.

HOWEVER. The Star editorial board is
not satisfied With your help we have
recognized some major shortcomings.
The Star has not done enough of the
s'crusading'' type of journalism which we
had planned.
We have not dug sufficiently into the
life of our city, the problems, the achieve
ments of our people.
We have not always achieved popular
style in our handling of features and
articles.
We have often fallen short in our COW
erage of the activities of the labor move
ment and, above ALL, of the important
events taking place in the communities of
Chicago.

ed by The Star. who preferred to
remain nameless, explained:
"The new bill provides a law
on the books, but very little more
except what people make of it."
He pointed out that the new
federal controls provide strong
basis for organization of tenants

stand firmly for their rights.
According to his analysis of the
new law, landlords have only four
grounds for eviction, which must
be decided in the courts. These
are:
/. Failure of tenant TO pay
rent or nuisance committed by
tenants.
2. Intentions of owner topoc-
cupY the premises.
3. Intentions of a new pur- I.
chaser TO occupy the premises.
4. Landlords intentions to
basicaIiY remodel or improve
premises. which cannot be done
while tenant remains.
If the courts decide. that the
landlord does not have bona fide
grounds for eviction on any of
the four counts, however, evictions
will not be permitted.

This is a report of our stewardship.
One year ago, you, the owners, the sup
porters, the readers of the Chicago Star,
charged us with the job of editing and
managing your newspaper.
At that time we set ourselves certain
goals.
We aimed at Chicago paper for Chi
cagoans, that would serve the people in
. period when their living standards, their
civil rights, their security from war and
from depression were in danger.
We aimed at a paper that would help
to solidify the forces of progress, that
would help achieve unity in the labor
movement and between labor and the other
progressive sections of the population of
Chicago.
We said we would fight fascism vigor-
ously in these pages, that we wou!d war
relentlessly on bigotry in all of its forms
And we said we would work toward
putting the Star on financially solid
basis
ON THE CREDIT side, we can record a
good deal of progress.
The Chicago Star has made a name for
itself as a fighter for progress. It has

A legal expert contacted by
The Star said tenants who had
signed new leases could do two
things:
l. Carry the new leases into
court TO determine whether
leases are valid in the face of
local rent control.
2. Organize tenants in their
buildings to get landlords TO
sign agreements granting tenants
with new leases special bene-
fits.

IF were a tenant" the
mayor continued. Il would not
sign lease for Is months"
As the mayor advised tens of
thousands of Chicago tenants not
to sign leases for Is months or
longer which carry Is per cent
increase provisions, tenants were
taking firm stand on their rights.
WITH the mayors guarantee of
state rent control, tenants from all
sections of the city warned they
would not compromise with land
lords. There were strong indica-
tons that majority of Chicago's
tenants would not sign the rent
increase leases.
One tenant interviewed by
The Star denounced tactics of
landlords TO panic" tenants into
signing. and using the new fed
eral rent controls as a black
jack. He said:
''Why should sign a new lease
giving my landlord Is per cent
increase, when that lease only
gives me six additional months,
and no further guarantees?
"The mayors word is good
enough for me and my neighbors.
We're refusing to sign the in
crease, and depending on the
mayor to install local rent con-
trolls when federal controls ex-
pire."

people to flood Governor Green's
office with kilograms and letters
urging him to sign the bill which
enables Chicago to set up local
rent controls when federal con-
trolls expire.
Since the bill was sponsored
by the Republican bloc. there
is little doubt that Green will
sign.
Many organizations across the
city expressed their certainty that
a united tenants front, organized
to fight landlords attempts to get
rent increases under the new law,
could obtain new federal rent
control law. They pointed out that

P llteoost To
Be Observed
By Local Jews! !

In Biblical days three festivals
were celebrated by a pilgrimage
to Jerusalem. Shovuos-the Feast
|of Weeks--is one Of these festi-
walls, Sometimes it is called the
Pentecost as it falls on the fiftieth
day. or seven weeks after the Sec
,ond day of Passover.
This year twill be observed on
Sunday. May Is, by Reform Jews,
and. also on Monday, May rs. by
Orthodox and Conservative Con-
gregations.
In ancient days a measure Of
new barley was presented at the
altar in the Temple at Jerusalem
to celebrate the early harvest in
Palestine. It was an occasion Of
thanksgiving and rejoicing.
Also associated with this fes-
tival is the giving of the Ten Com
nandments at Mt Sinai. This has
become the dominant note of the
holiday, and, as consequence,
Reform Congregations celebrate
the day by confirming their chill
.dren in a beautiful, solemn and
inspiring ceremony. The Temple
is decorated with flowers, and the
confirfnants, the first fruits of
our religious schools, dedicate
themselves Fundamentally to the
great moral precepts taught first
from Mt. Sinai.
