LANDLORDS TRICKY;
MAKE SUITS COSTLY

New York, Oct. THE landlord
tenant strife has entered on a new
phase, the advantage going to the
landlords.
II was disclosed today that land
lords have started several hundred
actions against tenants of houses in
New York City, in Greene and Nj
agara counties, which are situated
in the western part of the State.
This move is in evasion Of the
policy OF not issuing eviction war
rants, ordered in New York City mu-
nicipal courts by presiding Judge
Levy. 1t is believed that the land
lords have accomplished a shrewd
strike by starting action in courts
far from New York City.
