The truth is that when we were

paid us at the rate Of $25 month.
We did not accept the money. We
came back to New York and called
upon the City Department of Labor

Detroit EviCtiOns
ViciOuSly Planned
Landlords Have Trick
to Foil Unemployed

DETROIT, Mich-A family living
at 1880 z. Fort st. was unable to paw
all Of the weekly rent demanded by
the landlord owing to the husband,
who has a family Of four and sick
wife, working only two days a week.
The landlord gave them notice to
move and the same day that he de-
hvered the notice removed every
window and door. The fact that the
worker was paying as much as he
was able did not prevent this land
lord from evicting the worker into
the street.
This is one Of the methods that
landlords in Detroit are using to evict
their worker tenants into the streets.
Another method now being used is to
serve notice on the worker who they
want to evict, and then they arrive
few hours later with large furni-
ture van and remove the workers
furniture to warehouse, where if
the worker is unable to pay for the
storage 1t is siezed by the warehouse
owners.
These vicious methods are in an
swer to the activity of the Unem-
pioyed Councils who are leading the
struggle against the landlords in the
ruthless eviction Of workers. 1t is an
attempt to prevent the members of
the Unemployed Councils from put
ting workers back into their homes
as soon as they are unable to pay
their rent. 1t, however, indicates
that the activity Of the Unemployed
Councils is successful and that the
law and order" which they have
had behind them is Of no avail. These
vicious methods also will be Of no
avail, but will only encourage the
unemployed to struggle for mo evic-
tons Of unemployed workers for non
payment of rent"

that Katz had entered and removed

She then informed the Unem-

mobilized. A partial force arrived
just In time. Katz was there with a
second notice signed by some lawyer
and also a man to carry out the
furniture.
When Katz found that he couldn't
move the furniture into the street
he called the police. Out they came
in two autos, but what could they
do? We were modified too strong.
We forced Katz to replace the door

building societies and workers CO.

dency of lowering the standard of
living Of the workers by increasing
the cost at a time when wages are

welcome as in reality 10 per cent

workers will be forced to pay.
