Happy and cheerful are the striking en-
ployees Of Jacoby q Bookman. the East
Thirty eighth street cigar manufacturers.
while the employers sit in their Office, wear
long faces and look glum.
That was the condition of things this morn
ing when AN EVENING WORLD reporter Wis
tied the scene, expecting to witness the evic-
ton of twenty seven families Of the striking
operators from the firms tenements adjoin-
ing the factory.
Proceedings had been begun In Justice
Lachman's Sixth District Court, and war
rants to disposess the tenants were issued for
service to-day. The City Marshal. however,
postponed turning these poor people into the
street until tomorrow.
Fearing q woful experience with the court
officials and q possible wrecklng of their
household goods, two of the families that had
together and removed to apartments across
the street.
This morning the street in front of the ten
ement was filled with trucks and a half dozen
OlheI ldlu lies uehpeu tuelr IuTultuT6 upon
the sidewalk to be removed to new homes in
East Seventy-frst and East Seventy third
streets.
The people laughed as they worked, and
informed the reporter that Jacoby d Book
man were terribly fooled if they expected by
ejectment proceedings to force them back to
work at the cut rates.
The Strike Committee had advised all of
the tenants served with notices to quit to re-
main until put out by the marshal, SO that the
landlord shall be put to the additional cost
of removal. A majority of them will follow
this advice.
In Mosin's saloon. on the ground floor OF
the tenement building, about one hundred
were assembled. All seemed in the best of
humor and most of them were ~feasting on a
savory rabbit stew and black bread.
Chairman Maurice Heller said I'VE have
very few scabs. They had but ten hands al
work in the factory yesterday. and that's all
they've got to-day. We're going to win"
In the Office of the mandatory the inquiry
of the reporter regarding the ejectment was
met with the reply from one of the proprie.
tors:
Its no ejectment or eviction. but simply
a warrant to dispossess. The landlord wants
the use of the temements and re escorts to the
law to get it. We're only the landlords
agents."
The reporter asked who the landlord was

To the Editor Of The Ersnin9 World:

found that some one having signed his intel
ligent (?) remark by the name of Sw ss,'
made n complaint against little Josef Hof-
mann's German spelling, saying that he
should learn his language perfectly before
continuing with his musical education.
Firstly, the child, as well rs his parents,
are Polish. all having been born in Cracow,
the very centre of Poland.
Secondly, it is quite sufficient for a child
of Josef's age to be able to speak French and
German as we'll as he does, and among ouI
richest American and - civilized" German
families we seldom find children rs proficient
IN their native languages as Josef is in those
entirely foreign to him.
