Post last night threatened to use his power and close every tenement not conforming with city regulations, so as to create a housing shortage that will force the Federal Government to clear the slum areas and build habitable houses. Speaking at a mass meeting sponsored by the Brooklyn Housing Committee, in the auditorium of the Brooklyn Law School, the commissioner said: "If the Federal Government does not do something about housing, I know we will have to force the issue, and the only to do it is to close up enough houses.

All you will have to do then to get relief from the Government is to snap your fingers." Mr. Post referred to the power given him by the new tenement house laws, which became effective Jan. 1, and under which he Is authorized to clear 66,000 old-law tenements, occupied by 1,800,000 persons.

"People do not mind the housing situation if they move from place to place, but if we tyx it so that the rent can go up and it is impossible for them to move from place to place, the demand for immediate Federal relief will be so great that something will have to be done about it in a hurry. "I know who is going to suffer. The poor devils who are living under these deplorable conditions will have to bear the brunt, but I hope you people will understand when I start putting on the screw." Post said he returned from Washington Wednesday, where he conferred with Congressional leaders concerning the Wagner Low-Rental Housing bill, which soon will be Introduced, and declared that the prospects of this measure passing are good.

Tells of 1921 Cost The 1921 housing shortage cost the city about $800,000,000 in tax exemptions and other concessions to builders, he recalled. About one-half of Queens and one-third of the Bronx were built under tax exemptions. Declaring that his measures are not intended to hurt property owners, he said: "We are not out to get the property owners or mortgagees. We are only out to do something about the condition that affect more than one-third of our population. People do not own property now.

Over a period of years it has been overrated and overvaluated and at present you cannot get anything dut of it." Cites Worst Areas Mr. Post pointed out that If his eviction plans go through, they would affect about 900,000 people In Brooklyn. The worst slum areas, according to the commissioner, are illiamsbprg, the Navy Yard district, Red Hook and Brownsville. Other speakers on the program were Rabbi Samuel J.
