STRIKE IN HAVANA
OVER HIGH RENTALS
HAVANA, March 24 (by Associated
Press).—This city is threatened with
one of the most unique strikes ever
called. Unlike the usual strike, the
movement will not be for shorter
hours or higher wages. Thousands of
persons in every walk of life, who
are occupants of rented houses and
rooms, may “strike” against their be
ing literally “locked out’ ’of their
homes by property owners who are
charging exorbitant and illegal rents.
Rent in Havana during the last two
years has increased about 50 per cent,
and in some cases is reported to have
more than doubled, especially in the
poorer quarters. '
According to the law a property
owner must file with the city authori
ties ? sworn statement of the cost of
construction of any building owned or
erected by him, from which figures
not only the taxes to be collected but
the rent which may legally charged
are fixed. The property owners hav
ing greatly increased rents, but with
out correspondingly augmenting their
tax payments, the renting public is
loudly protesting, and there is being
formed an organization which has for
its object the calling of a strike by
renters to force the reduction of rates
to something like normal.
If the strike is really called, those
taking part will not actually refuse
to pay rent whatsoever, but will de
cline to pay more than the municipal
records call for.
