A story- of che difficulties confront i ing the 500 veterans and their families n0¥ ;

Occupying inadequate living quarters in the old Vancouver Hotel,
been asked to pay a 10 percent ‘rent increase,

some of the apartments and talked eS the tenants. :

Despite Vancouver Sun and
News-Herald reports to the ef-
fect. that most of the tenants
were paying the rent increase,
the secretary of the Tenants’
Committee declared that %5
“percent of the tenants had
signed pledges not to pay the
increase.

Mrs. Agnes Heshka, who has
been living with her husband and
four children in a dull, two-room
apartment for'10 months stated:
“We are not going to pay the
increase, All our neighbors _liv-
ing in the building feel the same
way, about this too.” :

The rooms this family lives in
are’ situated near the center of
the Hotel, away from any sun-
light. The windows of -their liv-
ing room are frosted, shutting out
what little daylight. there may be.

Mrs. Pearl Bentley, a young
married mother, when asked:
about the pledge slips being ;
circulated by the Tenants’ Com-_
mitte, said: “Vl sign one when
it comes around. If we could.
only get some action, and get
