BROOKLYN WANTS
 NEW YORK TENANTS
AGENTS ARE SAID TO BE SOLICIT ING BUSINESS IN DISTURBED DISTRICT OF MANHATTAN. TENEMENT HOUSE MEETINGS.

New York December N.-Real estate agents from Brooklyn went into the crowded tenement house districts in East Side, or Manhattan, today and tried to do missionary work In their own in terests by urging the tenants who are now engaged in crusade for lower rents to move into Brooklyn But the activity of outsiders did not seem to disturb the local real estate owners and agents.
 At the socialist party headquarters on Grand street it was learned today that the evictlons which have been made since the rent strike was decided upon have no real connection with the movement. Such evictions are for failure to pay rent for the present and past months. The crucial point will come If at all, when the collectors make their January calls.
 There were tenement house meetings on almost every block tonight. For the most part these were impromptu gatherings without any attempt of organization, but each was marked by many declarations of war against the landlords Many of the tenants were of the opinion that their end could best be accomplished by resisting attempts at collections of pres ent rents, affording shelter to persons evicted There were others who favored more drastic measures.

 Declared To Be Disqualified.

Athens December Special. )-At meeting of the city council last night Mayor M. K. Clements was reinstated in the office of which he was deprived by the election held last April, and in which c. E. Frost was declared elected by one majority.
 Immediately after the returns were made Mayor Clements gave notice that he would contest the election and tn e case was set for hearing at once, but continued until August, and then con tinued until October, at which time the election of MT. Frost was declared illegal on account of the fact that he was due a poll tax and the charter of Athens provides that no man who Is not qualified elector shall hold the of flee The case never was tried on the merits of Illegal votes
 MT. Frost appealed to the supreme court and this court held last week that he could not hold the office, and therefore he was out. The charter pro- vided that the mayor should hold until his successor was elected and qualified, and the supreme court having held that there was no election, this re-instated Mayor Clements. but the board to mak e assurance doubly sure, last night elected him, every vote cast being for his election.

 Textile production has been curtailed still further through concerted action oy New Englan cotton spinners and dimin- ished output together with absence of any efforts to force sales has sustained quotations.
