of appeal, and in October, 1920, to the
house of lords, the tenant still had
the victory.
IN 1928, the government passed q bill
1 allowing the tenant to keep the
unpaid increases, but made no allow
ance for the return of those that the
landlords had received illegally 1t
also allowed the right OF appeal to
the court of the sheriff for the making
good of any "bona fide" errors or
omission that may have been made
This was fought on the grounds that
the errors made were not bona fde"
and as yet no settlement of the posi-
ton has been reached and all the in
creases are still illegal.
The struggle is still raging, and in
the meantime the rents that are
mounting up as it is necessary for the
landlord to refuse the offered rent
otherwise that would become the
agreed rent and he would have to COM
mence the whole proceedings again.
They cannot evict them, for the
scouts are still alert.
THE labor council and provost are
1 on the workers side, altho there
are 10000 owing in rates, while the
landlords have so far lost e150,0O0
and the amount is growing at the rate
Of 100000 per month. But the work
ers are determined to carry on the
fight until their demand for the pre-
war standard of rent is granted.
The Communist Party.
THRUOUT all the phases of the
struggle, the Communist Party has
been playing it's part encouraging and
supporting the workers in the fight,
whether in the constitutional or extra
constitutional methods, and putting be-
fore the workers its program, such
as:
Adequate house room for all badly
housed and houseless workers.
Rationing of all housing accom-
mediation.
No evictions of the workers.
No decontroI of rents.
Municipal housing schemes by
direct labor.
and at the same time pointed out to
them that the only hope for the solu-
ton of this and all the other evils
from which they were suffering was
thru the revolutionary struggle for the
workers republic.

price on anything he must buy. Con.
sequently he invariably finds the mar,
ket down when he sells and up when
he must buy. With no stability in
prices the farmer has no control
whatever over the cost of production,
Often the farmer produces a crop
that actually cost him more than he
can sell it for. If he fortunately
gains a little on one crop, he most
assuredly will lose on some other
AS farmers, our only hope to get
n more of the product of our labor
is to join with the workers in the
other industries for workers control
There may sometimes be reason to
question whether some farmer is act
ing rational but to know the life that
he lives and there is no reason to
think that he is not member of the
working class.
All power to the dictatorship of the
proletariat.

OF building houses of steel plates. The
government Immediately gave it's sup
port to this method in spite of the
fact that the cost exceeded that Of the
brick house. Some criticism was Civ
en- Of this type, and it was stated on
good authority that these houses
would prove to be extremely hot in
summer and cold in winter, also verm-
nous and damp.
The minister of health, however, was
not to be put off so easily, and in re-
plying said, what if these allega-
tons are true? Are slum houses free
from vermin? Are they rain or damp
proof? Are they always cool in sum
mer and warm in winter?" Evidently
the tory government thinks that the
slum standard is good enough for the
workers.
A dispute arose over the rates Of
pay of the men who were building
them. The men employed in the cree
ton were engineers, who received
about Ell per week less than the
building workers, and the Builders
Union claimed that these men should
be paid the standard rate of the in
dustry. Lord Weir refused to discuss
the question. on the grounds that
these men We're members Of the En-
gineers' Union, and received the
agreed rates of that union.
THE rings once more took advant-
age of the situation, and the Light
Castings Federation, the only bne
that need fear no competition, once
more put up the price of their goods.
The Fight Against Evictions
After the end of the war, evictions
became prevalent. The control had
to some extent been relieved and it
was now easier for the owner to OBJ
tain possession of his house. Many
of the owners were DESTROYS of getting
rid and in order to get a better price
for the house, first get rid of the
tenant. The unemployed, unable to
pay their rent out of the miserable
pittance they received, were the great
est sufferers. ha
THEY were however, we'll organ
l lied, and were not prepared to
take the matter lying down. They
rallied their forces to the scenes of

The Housing Situation in England

the evictions, and by force of num-
bers, either prevented the eviction Of
the tenant or replaced the furniture
after the officials had left. They in
terview local authorities, and were Of
ten successful in getting the notices
cancelled. But while many of their
members were houseless, there were
in many localities, houses standing
empty, and they took the law into
their own hands, and very often seiz-
ed the houses and put their members
into them, while the landlord, rather
than go to the expense of the law to
move them, often let them stay.
Another tactic used successfully by
the unemployed was to change over
the tenants against whom the notices
were served, so that when the officials
came to carry out the eviction, the
person against whom it was out did
not live in the house, and so it was
necessary to go over the whole of
the proceedings afresh.
The workers have often come up
against the police in these fights, and
many have been severely injured and
imprisoned for the part that they
have taken in the struggle.
Rent Strikes.
The revolt also found expression in
rent strikes which took place in
various parts Of the country. A Ten
ants Defense League had been estab-
lished, to defend tenants, in the
courts against evictions, and illegal
increases of rents. The league was
controlled by the social democratic
element and was most careful to keep
well within the law. In Manchester.
rent strike took place. Two streets
were involved. The landlords had
not given the necessary notice to
quit" and the tenants, relying on the
support of the league, had a clear
case. The league refused to give its
support as they said it was unfair that
advantage should be taken of a small
error to deprive the landlord of his
rights, and so the strike fell thru.
In London and other centers, strikes
took place, with varying degrees Of
success, but nowhere in the country
was the fight so persistently and ten
aciously carried on as in the Clyde
bank area in Scotland,

FAMINE VICTIMS

DUBLIN. Feb. 2.-Seven hundred
and fifty thousand persons are af-
fected by lack of food and fuel in
the distress areas in the west of
Ireland, the Free State government
announced officially today.
First definite statistics regarding
the hunger and suffering that has
followed blight Of the potato crop
and incessant rainfall this winter,
were furnished the United Press by
the local government board.
These government statistics show
that despite efforts to decry talk
Of famine, 47j hamlets are affected.
There is complete lack of fuel and
acute distress in p hamlets in
County Kerry, % in Donegal, % in
Lietrim, IS in Galway, l6 in Cana
van and 70 in Cork.
In 295 hamlets fuel is but one
third rornal and the potato crop
has failed.
The government is sending thou
sands Of tons Of wood and hundreds
Of bales of clothing.
Half q million sterling mas been
appropriated and il is expected an
other half million will be needed.
Eye witnesses describe the situation
in the west as a potential fam
inc, - saving that il will at least
approximate the famine in 1879 un-
less weather modcrates.

children once daily five days a
