various sections of Montgomery county,

GOTHAM'S RENT WAR
FIVE LANDLORDS AGREE TO
LOWER RENTS.

NEW YORK, January New Year
day afforded no cessa ton of the troubles
OF the landlords on the East Side. All day
long the officers and spbcommitties of the
anti-rnt crisis committee labored with
the faint-hearted among the strikers and
gained new recruits. in the movement for
lower rents.
That their work was not unproductive
is shown by the fact that five landlords.
controlling the homes of 162 families.
yielded to the pressure and signed an
agreement to lower the rent 81 a
month for six months to each family. The
tene ments affected by this reduction are
$50 Stanton street, 30 East 10th street.
10 Monroe street, 216-21S Cherry street
and 10 --,len street. But the crisis will
come today when the rents are payable.
Chairman Kaplan and his associates
labored all day long giving advice to
strikers, settling agreements, arranging
for others and making plans for mass
meeting to be held in Rutgers Square
tonight.
Plans are also maturing for a monster
parade of 1900 of the East Sides un-
employed. to take place next week. if a
permit can be obtained. Invita- tons are to
be sent to the mayor and to the board of
aldermen to review this parade, which is
to show New York how great is the need
upon the East Side.
A delegation of Harlem men called at
the socialist headquarters in Grand street
yesterday with a request for literature
printed in Italian to distribute among their
compatriots, that a movement for lowe
rents mi ght be inaugurated uptown. 1t is
doubtful, however. If Harlem feels this
movement for another month, as the East
Side socialists have too much on their
hands now to justify an extension of the
movement.
Samuel Lavine, one of the active work
ers for the tenants cause, and who Sc
cured the cooperation of most of the
tenants at his home at 26 Broome street,
court yesterday that he had been assault
tel by the landlord of his house. He said
that he was seized from behind in the hall
and that the landlords two sons beat him
up. His appearance bore out his state
ments and the magistrate issued a sum-
mons for Louis Hirsh and SON.
Dispossess notices were served on sew
er;il striking tenants. Joseph Stualman of
90 Lewis street appeared at the strike
headquarters with warrant issued by
Judge Sanders of the second district court
at the request of Elias Diamond, his land
lord Stualman obtained a physician
certificate stating that one of his children
was suffering from scarlet fever and could
not be moved.
Michael Nett of IA Ludlow street was
served with a disposSeSs warrant by his
landlord, Joseph Cohen. as he lay i'll with
pneumonia. For his two rooms one of
them windowless, he is forced to pay $12
month.

MOBILE MEETING PROTESTS
AGAINST NEW "LILY WHITES"

| MOBILE, Ala, January 2.-Ten thou
sand negroes yesterday celebrated
Emancipation day and adopted the fol-
| lowing resolutions:
I'VE, the colored people of Mobile.
Ala. pledge our continual allegiance
to the fearless leader and faithful
champion of the third-term movement
In the person of Frank II. Hitchcock.
first assistant postmaster general. And
We consider Secretary of War Taft for
tunate in securing such a man as Mr..
Hitchcock to manage his interests in
the southern states. We will now feel
much more friendly in the future to
the Taft movement than we have in
the past.
I'VE have heard that within the last
few days an effort has been made to
recognize individuals connected with the
former lily white movement, with view
of reviving the lily white party in Ala
bama: we do enter our most solemn
protest against any individual or indi-
viduas or organization that will in any
degree give aid or comfort to the lily
white party in this state.
1--WE will inform our brothers in the
northern states soon as we know OF
any presidential candidate recognizing the
lily white movement in the SOUTH SO that
vote for President they may cast their
votes and their influence against any can
didate who recognizes the lily white
party

ton to the Chicago convention. AS re-
suit the Taft movement has been Sc
riously threa tened and sentiment is rap
idly increasing for Hughes. The beet
sugar interests have organized an active
opposition to Taft, but business men gen.
orally resent the political wirepulling.
1t has remained for Senator Smith to
attempt to dodge the time hOnorcd prece
dent by announcing his candidacy as d
delegate at large, and also by inducing
his colleague, Senator Burrows, not to
take stand against his ambition How:
ever Senator Burrows dislikes the posi-
ton taken by Senator Smith.

Negroes will Vote for Bryan.

Glasgow, KY, Aug. pa large per
cent. of the negroes of this county
will vot fer Bryan and Kern in No
vember. That they have no love for
Mr.. TAFT is learned on every hand.
Mr.. Fairbanks was the negroes choice
here and after he was defeated many
of them determined then and there
Ghey would vote for the Democratic
nominee i'm November. They are not
talking as they usually do and say
fihey will not have any trouble with
their Republican "boyses," but they
expect TO vote 10 suit themselves, as
they have nothing to l1se and all
TO gain. The negro vote in Barren
county counts a great deal and just
what change they will make in the
November election is expec ed TO be a
plenty.
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1908-08-26

The Republican press is very insist
ent that nothing be said about Can
didate Taft's religion. They have
nothing but abuse for those who would
simply inquire as to what church Mr..
Taft belongs to. Few persons con-
denim Mr.. Taft on account of his re-
ligious views from a layman's stand
point. But the public has a perfect
right to know whether Mr.. Taft's
views along this line-as along other
lines-conform to the popular and
dominant American spirit, as held by
the proposed head of our great nation.
Do the christian people of America
want a man who denies Christ at the
head Of their great Government?
