Prepare for Your Day in Court if You Are a Renter, Even Though You Have Paid Your Landlord Regularly and Been a Good Tenant 50,000 Tenants Were Brought Into Court During the First Three Months of the Current Year by House Owners Seeking Greater In- come or Possession of Premises Occupied If you are liable to the whim? of the law of supply and demand, in other words, if you are a rent payer, it would be well that you prepare your- self for your day in court because there is every reason to believe a lot of renters will be compelled to plead i for mercy in the courts of the city before the housing situation has been materially improved. The fact thai you have been a good tenant and have paid your vent promptly does not make you immune to eviction. The family which has paid and is willing to pay no more sure of its home than the I family which cannot pay. Xcw ten- ancy permits a landlord to establish a new rental scale far above what he could expect or legally obtain from an I eld tenant. Under the guise of urgent necessity, based on the flimsiest of reasons, eviction is asked for by a landlord that he may evade the 25 per cent limit and greatly increase the income from an apartment house.

Machinery of Justice Hard Pressed Every municipal court in the city is crowded daily with landlord and ten ant cases. The Mayor's Committee on Rent Profiteering has done wonderful work in adjusting rent disputes and; preventing evictions by explaining the; law to the landlord and 10 the also, when it is found that the renter; is not entitled to the protection which the rent legislation provides. Five hundred cases a week is nothing ex-, traordinary for the committee to handle. But there are cases which the committee cannot or will not. adjust! and they are brought into the court for adjustment.

There were more than 100.000 tenants in court last year defending their rieht to live in various! apartment houses, and during the first few months of the current year as? many as 50,000 were in court, on the same mission, but this year there arel rent laws to help them in their fight against eviction and profiteering. When the judges strip the com- plaints of landlords' of legal verbage it is surprising how callous humanity1 seems. Compassion is an unknown quality in the make-up of many of the persons who are in control of housings and wore it not for the broad view taken by the judges who hear these i cases, the evil aspect of the situation i would be very much worse. Under pressure landlords admit that the reason for demanding the premises of families, irrespective of their char- i acter as tenants, is to pass them to others on a higher rental basis. Not every on- who rents is subject to the avarice the profiteer in house ren- tais.

Before relief comes in the form of increased housing facilities it would not be surprising if nearly every ten-! ant who has a lease for a year or less should be in court to explain why a disposess should not be granted or why he should not be compelled to pay a rental out. of reason. Gentlewomen Forced Into Court Folks of every character and in every section of the city will be found in court these days on landlord and ten- ant cases. Gentlewomen who have never been before a bar of justice have approached the scene with the greatest of horror. Business men are taken away from their affairs to protect their homes.

It is the most exasperat? ing situation folk.i have ever had to contend with, and repeatedly evidence is given at these rent hearings that, good natured New Yorkers have reached the end of their patience and are out for anything which will punish those Judge Wilson TELLING A LANDLORD A HAS the 1 COURT DISAPPROVED OWNERS RENT SCHEDULE CdNNOT woes I ES-' WITHLITTLE ONES IK FRONT of COURT who are capitalizing the distress of the city. Imputations of immorality have been aimed at women who have been forced into court by landlords. In the court at Broadway and Ninety-sixth Street last week a man stood up before Justice Wilson and said things about a woman tenant which the judge refused to permit. The cases which came up in the Broadway court affected property in the fine West Side section of the city apartment houses and private dwell? ings. "But.

my dear man," raid Judge Wil? son to a landlord, "this tenant has some legal lights. lie cannot find a place to move into, and the rent laws passed by the Legislature give him pro? tection, and I shflll ailow him until October 31 to find another place." The landlord asked why not Octo? ber 1, since the court insisted on givincr the tenant, who occupies a 'house in the West Eighties, a stay of occupancy. "I have done it," said Judge Wilson with a little resentment in his voice, "to help the October situation, which will be bad enough." The landlord had demanded the place on the grounds recognized by the rent laws. Put it happened thai a "for sale" sign was placed on the property a few after the present owner bought it, which defeated instantly his claim for occupancy. Having been nicely settled in a dwelling on Riverside Drive, which had been made over into small suite, the tenants in the house learned recently that they were objectionable to the lessee of the house and that he wants them to get out.

The court of course was asked to help the lessee get pos? session of his apartments, about nine number. When the case came be? fore Justice Wilson, in the Broadway and Ninety-sixth Street court last week, he asked the attorney for the lessee why tho tenants were objec? tionable. "Because they cook in the building," answered the attorney for the tenants before the attorney for the other side had prepared in his mind an answer. "These people live there, do they not?" Justice Wilson asked. "Then it is natural that they should cook there." The wish of the landlord made it necei sary for the tenants, fashionably dressed and gentle appearing women, to be in court.

Their attorney said that if the lessee did not want the tei.ants to prepare meals in the apart? ments he should not have installed facilities, and furthermore should have expressed his objections to cooking in the house in the leases. But the attorney said he did neither, and it was his opinion that in so doing he had not lived un to a condition of the lease made with the owner of the property and that the Tenement House Department was not fully pleased with ihe manner in which the house had been altered. But because the tenants cooked in the house they are objec- tionable and the court, was asked to turn them out. But the court would not. Widow Woman Gets Stay A woman dressed in black, a widow for years, with two children whom she has supported by conducting a fur? nished room house in West Eighty-sec? ond Street, told Judge Wilson that though she had been given ninety days to get a new hume she had failed to find another place to move into.

"1 do not think the woman is telling the truih," said the owner's agents, "when she says she has honestly tried and failed to find a home." "How do you know she has not told the truth?" asked the justice. "This woman says under oath that she has searched for a home and I believe her, and 1 shall let her remain in the house until October 31." This greatly disturbed the owner's representative and he displayed his feeling by charging the woman with being in business and therefore not under the protection of the rent laws. "This woman could accommoda? tions for her family, four or five rooms, if she wanted to." he demurred. "This woman says she has to conduct a rooming house to support herself and children. Otherwise she cannot pay rent, whether it be for a four-room apartment or a larger one." Judge Wilson replied.

"She must make a living and she can make it onlj I through the conduct of a rooming house. She makes the house her home, she lives there and so do her children. Therefore," the justice continued, "I am going to give her until October to find another place." The woman left the court greatly relieved. Refused to Take Rent Another furnished room proprietress told Justice Wilson that for the last three months her rent had been re? turned by her landlord, wno had given her a sixty-day notice to move. The landlord said that she had not paid her rent, but checks showed that the woman had done what she could to pay lier rent.

Cleaving away the subterfuges Jus? tice Wilson found that the owner could sell the house if possession could be promised and that was the reason why lie wanted the woman to get out. He said that he had to sell because a mortgage was due in September. The tenant who was not wanted told the court that a relative was willing to buy the house. This was enough for the court, and the woman was told to remain at tho same rent until fall. The cases which came up for decision in the Ninety-sixth Street court were not tiie result of disputes over rent, but pleas for the court to permit ten? ants to remain until they could find other places to live.

Brooklyn and Queens Brought Closer to Manhattan And Its Activities by New Subway Transit Links Two more links in New York's great system of underground travel, which will ultimately cost New Yorkers close to $400,000,000, were completed and put into operation in th" small hours this morning. By the time the city will be.

up. and astir folks will find a great, addi- tion has been made overnight to travel- i ing conveniences below the surface. Another direct route has been opened from midtown to Coney Isl? and for a 5-ccnt fare. This route also will accommodate Long lslano City folk bound for Broadway or Coney Island, for one of the new links brings the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system, which until last night ended at Lexing? ton Avenue and Sixtieth Street, into the Queensboro Bridge Plaza through tunnel under the East River. B.

R. T. an lnterborough System Now The Brooklyn Rapid Transit system as a consequence is a tri-borough rail? road to-day for the first time. The ln? terborough lias been a tri-borough sys? tem for several Trains will be sent through the tun? nels connecting Whitehall Street at the Battery with Montague Street, i Brooklyn, and Sixtieth Street, Manhat i tan, with Astoria. They have been un der construction for several years and have cost millions of dollars.

Brooklyn folk living on the trunk unes of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit may now travel directly to the lower business sections of Manhattan and the great growing industrial Long island City. The Brighton Beach line. which comes from Coney Island and serves Brooklyn's finest residential sections, instead of following the old route, turn? ing onto the Fulton Street elevated structure at Franklin Avenue and over the Brooklyn Bridge, will swerve to the left at Cue Prospect Park station into a subway dug under Flatbush Avenue and into the Fourth Avenue subway at Atlantic Avenue. At Borough Hall Flatbush trains will turn tinder Montague Street, Brooklyn Heights and the East River to the foot of Whitehall Street, which has been the south end of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company's route in Manhattan until this morning. Travellers on the Fourth Avenue subway through Brooklyn, which crosses the Manhattan Bridge and at Canal Street branches south to the Municipal Building or Whitehall Suce: or north along Broadway, can change to the new Brooklyn Rapid Transit line at.

Pacific Street and be brought, directly the great down? town district. Brooklyn Will Get More Dwellers The opening of the Flatbush Avenue and Montague Street route will make Brooklyn very much more attractive as a living place to the great business army south of Fulton Street, Manhat? tan, and even as far non as Forty second Street, because it will provide direct to King's best residential sections. Business sections of Brook? lyn will benefit by the addition of an? other direct route to the big business district of Manhattan. Congestion at the Brooklyn Bridge will be lessened i not entirely elim? inated, because the great movement of travel into the served by the Brighton Beacii line will be turned from the old bridge into the subway. The dense crowding at the union ita tion at Canal Street also will be re? lieved by the continuation of the B.

R. T. system from Whitehall Street as another means of getting to the Fourth Avenue subway in Brooklyn is provided. Advantage to Business Travelers Manhattan business will be benefited by the transit, for it provides a direct and rapid connection with the two neighboring boroughs. The expanding business importance of Queens has made that section an integral part of New York's commercial life.

Many large concerns have established plants there, with executive offices in Man? hattan. The new B. R. T. transit will furnish swift, communication between the two without the inconvenience of transferring from one route to an? other.

This is a feature which will not escape the family seeking a home. Di? rect and cheap transit will lead them across into Queens, which seems to be one of the sections that is designated to house many of the folk who will leave Manhattan either because of the high rentals or failure to find places to live in. One of the amusing features of the transit development is that Brooklyn Rapid Transit trains cannot run over dual subway routes in Queens unless at four inches are cut off the edge of every station. The cars of the Brooklyn company are eight inches wider than the Interborough's. This was brought to the attention of the Rapid Transit Commission years ago, but nothing was done to standardize the width of the coaches.

Therefore the routes used by the Interborough cannot be invaded by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit, although the formel company's trains could be run over the rival system at any time. To alter the stations along the In terborough routes so as to permit the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company tc operate its trains would mean an ex penditure of many millions of dollars That is why B. R. T. trains will jjc no further into Queen3 than Queensboro Bridge Heavy dotted lines represent additions to the Brooklyn Rapid transit system put into operation th is morning.

Municipal Courts Are Crowded Daily Willi Folks of Every Station Pleading for Time to Find New Homes or Against Unreasonable Rent Increases; Judges' Position a Hard One pathv with tenants who try to use the rcntlaws to deprive a landlord of jupt rights. One woman who tried to enlist the sympathy of the court by her ap? pearance and pleading voice, but no grounds for the justice she claimed soon discovered her mistake when Jus? tice Wilson told her he would give her five days to pay her rent. She. left the court murmuring against the justice that had been dispensed to her. Where Profiteering Crnel The more cruel features of the rent problem are to be encountered in the courts in the lower East Side.

In the Municipal Court in old St. Mary's schoolhouse in Madison Street, near Clinton Street, the seamy side of life is repeatedly on exhibition. I3e draggled women carrying infants in their arms and with faces saddened by an unequal struggle for life, arc to be seen every rent day. The landlord wants his "apartment or he wants more i rent. Most times he is in court not to obtain possession of his apartment, but in defence of his rent schedule.

A dollar or two increase in rental, a mere nothing to folks who live in the district covered by Justice Wilson's court, is a big thing to folks at the other end of the town. They frankly tell the court that they cannot pay the landlord's increase and purchase the necessities uf life. Deciding such cases is most difficult because it is hard for a judge, who is a man first with a measurable amount of sym? pathy, to listen to the pleadings of folks who must make a little go far. The landlord maintains that he is en? titled to income from his investment and the dictates of the law must be carried out. Justice Blau has had to contend with the currents of sentiment and justice for the last month, giving the tenants the lull benefit of the law without be? ing unjust to the man who owns prop? erty.

There were times last week when the law imposed suffering on tenants, but it was because the limita? tions provided for the tenant, in the recent legislation had been reached and nothing more could be done for the renter. American Justice Is Strange An Italian woman carrying a baby on her arm was brought before Justice Blau because she had not paid her rent. She lives in one of the lowly houses of the Italian district. Her landlord, one of her own kind, the house some months ago, and im? mediately increased her rent to $14. The increase of several dollars she could not pay, so she set out.

to find a cheaper place. Before she could find a more reasonable home to live in the landlord's day had come around. She told the justice, with the aid of an interpreter, that she could not pay. "But tnis man must have rent," the justice told her. She could not grasp the justice of the court defending the landlord.

She told the court that she would have an? other home soon. She was given live days to pay her rent. Her attitude as she left the courtroom betokened com? plete lack of understanding of Ameri? can justice. Several tenants who live in St. Marks Place were in court because they would not pay the rental demanded by the new owner of their house.

Some of them endeavored to have the new owner believe that they were expected to pay a lower rental than he understood they paid. He asked for $27 a month from most of them, but they explained they were paying only $16 and $17 a month until he came. The tenants' story did not impress Justice Blau; neither was he inclined to give the landlord all he wanted. Since $23 a month was mentioned in the testimony as being the old rental, he settled the matter by ordering some to pay $23 and others a month un? til October. "You understand," said the court, addressing the landlord, "there is to be no increase in rental in the mean time." No Help for the Unemployed One of the tenants piped up that he could not pay this rental, that it was toe much and he was financially em? barrassed.

"I have been out of work for sev? eral weeks, your honor," pleaded the tenant. "Well, why don't you go to work?" asked the justice. 1 "Because my union is on strike." "I don't see that that is any reason." said Justice Blaua, adding, "there is nothing in the law that deprives a landlord of his rental." The striking tenant was given neither moral or legal support. He was a bit chagrined. An elderly Italian woman told the court that she did not pay her rent because the landlord would not fix the ceiling which had fallen down.

By gesture and outbursts she made him understand that it had hit her on the arm. The landlord said it was because he was a Jew that she had refused to give him his rent. The old lady said I she had lived in the house eleven years, had paid her rent and was will? ing to pay now if the court would make the landlord put her house in condition. He was told in no unmis? takable terms that it was the wish of the court that the ceiling be put up and the house put in order. The old lady then turned over the rent to the court clerk, who passed it to the land? lord.

So goes on the unending stream of landlord and tenant cases, day after day, in all parts of the city. Thosuands more of tenants are going to see the inside of courtrooms for the first time better be ready. Spier Property in Adirondack?
