amount viii be largely increased before
the great day arrives. The result. so
the Chicago people think. win be to

to celebrations of the Fourth 874. If

NEW FORM OF Strike.

THE NEWEST FORM of strike is q
i strike of tenants against high
rents The originators are the occu-
pants of fiat building I'm New York
City, and their notion may become de-
cidedly popular elsewhere An account
says that when. a few weeks ago, the
tenants of this building we're notified
that on a certain date their rent was
to be raised they promptly held an in
dignatiOu meeting. The outcome was
the adoption of a strike resolution. The
tenants refused to pay the increased
rent They likewise refused to move.
When other tenants who were willing
to pay the higher rates came along the
occupants made life decidedly unpleas-
ant for them. Pickets were posted and
furniture vans turned away from the
building. AT last accounts the occu-
pants were stiu I'm somewhat strenu-
ousIy adverse possession. OF course
some method of compelling them TO
move viii eventually be found by their
landlord, but fin the meanwhile they
viii have had a few weeks more ten
ancy at the low rate than they would
have had.
Nobody viii seriously dispute the as
sarton that the tenants were in the
wrong. There is a sacred thing known
as property rights" which must be
respected. The landlord in this in
stance had a perfect right under our
laws. to increase the rents. The prop
erty was his absolutely to do with as
he pleased. If he had reduced the rents
instead of raising them the tenants
would have arisen to cau him blessed.
Some people viii talk about the moral
obligation owners of property owe TO
those who are less fortunate, but ex-
perience with such people teaches us
that ones sense Of moral perception is
duIled almost i'm proportion to the in
crease in ones holdings.
There is no disputing the statement
that rents are too high In New York.
Rents are also too high IN Salt Lake
City. But what are the people who
are obliged TO rent homes and stores
and offices going to do about it? They
must pay the rent if they can, and
when they cannot pay they must move
their belongings out into the street.
And when they get there a gentleman
lv officer win come along and tell the
owner of the chattels TO move them
somewhere else.
But why not work harder than ever
to the end that you may become a
property owner y0urselI2
