STRIKE FOR LOWER RENTS
East Side Residents In New York
Start New Agitation.


New York, Dec. 27.-The rent strike
on the East Side, expected for Jan. l,
received considerable encouragement
from the promises made by Jacob
Panken, Meyer London, MsSris Hill
quit and other lawyers to fight all the
strikers dispossess cases for them
free of charge. Would-be rent strikers
kept dropping in at the Socialist party
headquarters at S13 Grand street to
ask the organization to visit their ten
ements and spread the strike among
them.
SO far the organizers have enrolled
between 500 and 500 tenants, distrib-
uted among over 200 tenement houses.
The work Of visiting the houses where
strike is contemplated is going on
slowly. In five large tenement houses
so far the entire body of tenants have
agreed to stand by each other and re-
fuse to pay more than a certain rent.
The forty-eight family houses at 10
Stanton street, the home of eighty
two families at PIG and 218 Cherry
street and the twenty-four family ten
ement at 129 Monroe street are stand
ing solid for reduced rent, via the
