demanding IS reduction In rent
has been declared by the tenants at
500 Beck Street. Most of the tenants

rent, the tenants demand repairs to
their flats. A Tenants League has

the tenants are all solidly behind the
struggle.
The house at 1862 Lafayette Ave.
which belongs to the same landlord
is being circularized with leaflets to
get the tenants behind the demands.
A demonstration will take place at 592
Beck Street house, Saturday, Dec. rs,
at 8 p. m. where the entire neighbor-
hood will be modified to stop the
eviction of the tenants and to fight
for the demands Of the unemployed
