to testify regarding rents bolng col
lected now nnd In years past, present

ing in rentals.
Tho council unanimously approved
a resolution Introduced by Chairman
Cormak of tho Judiciary committee,

"The plan is to tnko up all Un

Whereas for several years the

Whereas In spite of the fact thnt
since the armistice wns signed. No

tions hove prevailed, the price of con

mittee thereof, he Instructed to make
Inquiry Into the cause or causes which
have brought about the enormous In
crease In the market price of coal, and
to thnt end nlnnln full data regarding freight rates, wages, profits, and other
mutters ben ring upon the question under conslderntlon, with n view to de
termining who or what may be responsible for such Increase In price, whether
due to economic causes, und, therefore, proper nnd right, or whether duo to
