I W fc. vr- alf V ROTH STAR S WORK i :T TO HELP TENANTS J5hariff's Solicitor Gathering Eviction Data to Back Ploa for New Laws 'JUDGES SUPPORT PLAN not bo opened, nnd, If sufficient reason Is shown, the execution of the writ it stayed. Hut this is not done in man; cases, Several members of the bar associa tion nrc of tho belief that the practices of a certain clique of lnwycrs in tak ing theso onan judgments of ejectment should be probed by tho bonrd of ccn- Glaudo Ii. Itoth, solicitor in the of flco of Sheriff Lambcrton, started today to got legal statistics and facts in the more distressing oases of evictions and shortago of homes. Tills data will be submitted to Gov ernor Sproul in support of Sheriff Lam berton's plea for the immediate colling of a special session of the Legislature desired to meet tho situation In this city as tho sheriff and courts have no alternative but to Issue tho writs If the proceedings are found to be In proper legal form. Members of the bench and bar indorse the movement begun by Sheriff Lambcr ton for the enactment of new laws to protect tenants from being hnrniticd and oppressed by rent gouging landlords and evicted from their homes if they don't meet their demand. Writs for evictions of families un able to met the demands for increased rentals and with no prospect of pur chasing tho houses are Increasing in the sheriff's office in alarming numbers and presaging hundreds of evictions this winter unless some ways nnd means are quickly adopted to allow the tenants' side of tho controversy to be heard. The judges In town, including Judges Barrntt. Hogors, Ferguson nnd Mona ghan, do not recall the case lu which Sir. Lamberton complained he received a rebuke from the bench for delaying tho execution of a judgment In eject ment in a case of a poor family vir tually thrown Into the street. One of the Judges pointed out that the tenants are not entirely without remedy even under tho present law, as they may take a rule to show cause why the judgment in ejectment should down" of the tenants under threat of eviction, drastic action against tho of fenders should be taken. Hcnresentatlves of the tenants' asso ciations, who were seeking Information at the sneriirs outce today, declared that attorneys havo been known to work with unscrupulous real estate agents, exerting every technicality of the law to get the tennnts in n position where they would havo to meet any Increase of rent demanded or be thrown Into the street. As the law now stands, the tenants were virtually without any redress at all. Tho decision of the sheriff to ask the Governor for n special session of tho Legislature has given fresh impetus to the work of tho tenant associations, whose officers say nil political parties or factions thereof should Join In the movement to procure equity and Justice for the homclcecpers and provent them from being victims of rent-gouging property owners. Thev nlso advocate giving full pub licity tq the detnlls and tho names of tho owners nnd renl estate- agents en gaged In tho more flagrant cases of .liiikn-ilnwn." Thev nlso sav there should be a united effort to back up the sheriff. It was pointed out totiny uini 11 an immedlato session of tho Legislature Is held to enact new laws or amend the present landlord and tenant act, which, it is nrgucd, seems only to conserve property rights of the owner, tho action of tho state body could be made retro active to hold over tho cases pending.

I'm going to sell hats without profit this FalL and give the final wallop to the High Cost of Living in the High Price of Hats. The public have been on a "Buying Spree" for the last couple of years, but they're on a "Buying Strike" today. I'm going to break that strike by breaking the price of hats. If you'll help me bring 100,000 new customers in my stores this month you'll see the High Price of Hats begin to tumble, and you can get under cover right now for $3.85. In the first place, the Fur Market is fictitious. The rabbits in Australia don't know anything about the price of fur in America. The fur that I bought four years ago at $1.50 a pound, is now quoted at $11 a pound, and there is no rhyme or reason that can justify this price. Manufacturers whose raw materials advanced as the market went up have figured fur at the "peak" and quoted prices accordingly. They got "theirs" on the way up, and they don't want to let go on the way down. The Retailer has paid what he had to, and charged what he wanted to, in order to pay the Government and make more money than he ever did before. Buyers of Fur, Hat Manufacturers and Retailers have all got to get together to stop it, and someone has got to srarrit. I'd like to have the Flying Squadron of the Department of Justice investigate my Prices and Profits this Fall, and compare the Style and Quality of my hats with other hats selling for twice my price. If they don't stop me for under selling the market, you can have any new Fall color or style, any snape or size, in any son nat or derby, at $3.85.
