STRIKE OF OUTRAGED TENANTS.
Sure That New Landlord Can Neither Raise
Rents MOI DispOssess.

"Chtb WI hphbpuooeoo'
A strike with all the attendant features
Of a hastily formed union, a fund for the
common defence, with q few soabs or nom
striking members as a side issue, Is on
in the six story tenement house, owned
by Gottlieb Bros. lat 9e7-se9 East Tenth
street.
The parties more particularly concerned
in the strike are Samuel Weidhorn, the new
lessee, and some fourteen Of the thirty-six
families in the house, nine Of whom received
dispossess notices on the first Of the month.
The Ave others have received five days
notice to vacate their apartments or be
dispossessed.
Weidhorn, who makes a business OF
leasing East Side tenements, has only just
acquired this lease. Several of the tenants
aver that he thought he ought to get 500
more in rents out Of the house than it has
yielded In the past. and forthwith served
the tenants with notices that they must
pay increases averaging 90 per cent. for
their three or four room apart ments or
find new quarters.
This they fatty refused to do; with the
result that they will have to answer this
morning to the dispossess proceedings in
the Fifth district court. Encouraged by
the recent favorable decision given by
Magistrate Higginbotham in the case OF
the striking tenants in Cook street, Williams
bridge, the great majority Of the tenants
have taken, up the cause OF their dispos-
to the court. They place great confidence
in the ability Of Meyer London, the Socialist
lawyer, who has been retained as counsel,
to strike a telling blow at the tyranny OF
the landlord. AS to the four tenants who
have refused to Join the cause. Nathan
Reisch, one Of the leaders in the movement,
Gays They are only scabs n we'll attend
to them after we win this battle
The tenants say they were not even asked
In half monthly instalments, and are oon-
fident that they cannot be evioted.
To give expression to the sentiments Of
the occupants, flags and lanterns were hung
ants earnestly disclaimed, however, that
the several red flags displayed indicated
that they were anarchists.
