NO RENT FOR 1898 MONTHS
Campaign Of Neapoiitan Tenants Who
Are Leasued Against Landlords.


Are Leasued Against Landlords.
The Naples householders have form.
ed league with the object of obtain
ing a reduction of rents, and they dis
covered that the best method to force
the landlords to accede to their de-
mands was to stop the payment of
rents. The league numbers about
1000 members, none of whom has paid
rent for the last six months, says a
Naples Qtaly) correspondent of the
New York Sun.
The landlords first attempted evic-
ton. but they failed. as the police de-
clared that they were unable to evict
1000 families who meant fight and eX-
pressed their willingness to stand q
siege. Next the landlords brought suit
in the civil courts.
The case came on in due course of
time, but none of the householders
was present or represented. The land
lords rejoiced at the prospect of an
easy victory. Suddenly woman walk
ed in.
She said she was one of the 1000
defend her case. The judges have to
accord reasonable period of time to
the defendant In order that he may
prepare his defense. This period is
generally a month. Accordingly on
| the woman's demand the case was adj
| journed q month.
The month passed and the case again
came on for hearing. None of the de
PENDANTS was present. The court Their
decided to hear the case In their alb
sence, but just then another member
Of the league came in. repeated the
identical performance of the previou:
hearing. and again the case was pu
| of for another month.
For the next 1898 months a member
Of the householderss league will repea
the trick. and the case won't be hear(
before that time. Meanwhile the mem
bers continue not paying their rents.
