LANDLORDS IN
RENT FIGHT
SURPRISED
Number of Tenants to Have
Been EViCled Take
French Leave.

While there was little interest in the
the Hill section today, seven families
occupying flats in the large dwelling
at 122 Broome street, near Baldwin
street, moved to other apartments last
night. The landlord, Ferdinand Born
stein, was prepared to dispossess the
tenants today, and when the constable
and a squad of men arrived ready to
remove the furniture into the street
they found that the rooms were vacant.
Michael Rubin, one of the Tenants
Associations executive committee, said
today hat the families found little
difficulty in securing rooms elsewhere.
He said hat some had moved to Hun
terdon and South Twelfth streets and
others to Peshine avenue.
The tenants who deserted the
Hebrew section last night hired the
striking furniture movers, and it was
agreed to follow out this plan in the
future. "If we help them in their strike
tenants, ''they will assist us in our
fight against the landlords"
Representatives of the Landlords As
ISOLATION took occasion today to deny
that members of their association were
daily giving in to the strikers. In spite
of this, however, the strikers claim
that several other tenants won out
today. "They say that they are not
giving in, do they?" was the comment
of one of the strikers, but l want to
tell you they are, and this is their plan:
They make out a full receipt under the
old rate, but all you got to hand up is
the reduced one for which. you were
fighting. We don't care how they make
out the receipts so long as we win our
point"
The strikers executive committee
will hold a meeting tonight, and in all
probability the arrest of two strikers"
for placing flags and signs on their
windows will be discussed. One of the
victims was fined $25 last week by
Judge Herr, and the other will be ar
raigned tomorrow. A delegation of the
strikers will be in court to watch the
proceedings, and Edward Schoen, the
landlords consel, will be on hand to
fight against the prisoner.
Sergeant-at-arms Hartdorn left the
First District Court this morning with
a small army of negroes to continue the
work of eviction of the tenants who
failed to pay their rent.
