Everything had been serena IN the tene-

made the rounds Of the building and In
formed the tenants that the new landlord.
Simon Frendle, would raise the rent from 81
Ia 81 a month after the first Of June. From
that day on the tenants merely slept, ate
and held Indignation meetings,
The first meeting was held a week ago
last night In Freddy Roerners cut rate
saloon, but broke up In disorder because
Of n difference Of opinion between Benny
Kaplau and Joe Weisshach about a game Of
pinochle. A second meeting Of all tho
families, men and women, was held last
Sunday morning in Jakey Warmund's
fiat. where a CT mnittee was formed to call
upon Landlord Frendle. The committee
chosen consisted Of David Goldman, Sammy
Silverman, Sol Goldbaum, Sam Goldberg,
and the chairman was Morris Gold. When
the committee started out to call on the
landlord, Moses Alder, Louie Werber, Max
Shapiro and Sammy sussett also ran:
the first debate between Landlord Frendle
and his tenants il was seen that the land
lord was weakening. He had been informed
firmly but gently by the committee that he
could consider himself struck against and
that II the dollar raise went into effect every
body but Looie Sherling, who doesn't count,
would move out. Simon had long talks
with his son, who ia Q lawyer, after the com
mittee left and the result of these discus
sions was that on Thursday night last the
house on Hart street, but this time on in
Walton.
There was much whiskey, supplied by
the landlords at this meeting, and when
later in the evening the subject OF rents
was preached the committee was in about
thesright frame Of mind to sign an agree
ment wherein 1t was stated that the rents
would be raised only from 80 cents to s1.50.
The landlord would do even more-he
would soak Looie Sherling for a 50 raise
whereupon the committee signed.
During the cold gray dawn of the morning
after the committee wondered whether
they had acted discreetly the night before.
Nevertheless a celebration was in order,
ling had had his rent raised So, Last FRI
day night the Mayfower Fife and Drum
Corps was engaged after some slight hitch,
owing to the interruption Of Herman Ra-
falowitz, who wanted to know whether he
would be relieved Of the worry of con-
tributing to the music fund provided he
helped the bass drummer carry his drum.
This question of privilege delayed the
starting OF the concert until o o'clock in the
evening,

were reached. Then they had it played
all over again, while everybody down to
the babies gathered round Looie Sherling's
shoe shop window and sang it again. Up
through the stairway Of No. 80 the ffers
and drummers now marched with a sing
ing, bawling string Of men, women and
children following. When they had reached
the top floor the parade filed out on the
roof through the trap door, crossed the
roof to No. IS and returned to the street
by way of the stairway of that house.
There were more choruses in front Of
Looie's window when the sidewalk was
reached and he was asked to ragtime If
he knew that
