TENANTS LEAGUE STOPS
BROWNSVILLE EVICTION

NEW YORK.--The Brownsville
Workers Tenants League is making
progress. From its headquarters at
1874 Pitkin Ave. it conducts a cam
paign against evictions of unem-
ployed that has scored several VIC
tories The league is about three
months old and has over 100 mem
bers. It operates by holding open
air meetings, sending committees TO
court in dispossess cases and organ
izing the tenants in the houses where
such cases arise.
A mobilization at 544 Dumon Ave.
took place, and when the landlord
found that the tenants there were
organizing he gave up the idea of
throwing out an unemployed laundry
worker, and agreed to take whatever
the man could pay until he got a
job.
A special committee was elected at
a good meeting Sunday to work out
plans with the executive for more
intensive and active work.

The basic cause for the revolt,
which is worrying the labor govern
rnent is the protest against the head
tax, the robbery of the land of the
peasants and against increased taxes
while the price of rice has dropped
tremendously.
The head tax is a means of forcing
the peasants in the more remote regi-
ons to become agricultural workers
under virtual slavery.
With the price of rice dropping it

consideration the fact that many
militant workers are suffering from

No Pay for New Years

not to pay for Tew Years day. When
a man goes to work on one of the

gency jobs, the first weeks pay is
S. short. The committee likes to
have that club over the heads of
the helpless unemployed.
The effect on considerable num-
Der of men getting their first three

get paid for Thursday, and in addi-
ton have S. held back.

Since a considerable number of

his dirty work some other time, and
they are prepared to meet the case.

than they can be bought on the stock
and bond market today.
The Unterneyer grating scheme
proposes that the Tammany grating
machine in City Hall, which is con-
nected with the Wall Street bankers
who stand to make millions in the
zeal, pay for BMT. stock $50 a share
when it can be picked up on the
market for $1,000. They propose that
500 be paid for B.M.T. bonds, when
they can be bought for $3.50 on the
bond market. Untermeyer proposes
that the city, which is so liberal to
the Wall Street grafters anyway,
while 100000 workers starve in the
city, pay to the I.R.T. $50 a share
for its common stock when ii goes
begging on the stock market at
$3.50.
