EVICT TENANTS
IN RENT STRIKE
Workers Pledge to
Continue Picketing


NEW YORK-The threatened mass
eviction, which had been held off so
far by the militant resistance of the
tenants and neighbors on Longfellow
Ave, was carried through today, the
coolest day Of the year.
At the early hours of $3.50 am, SO
marshals, supported by dozens Of
cops, detectives and the privately
hired thugs of the landlord, entered
into the five houses on Longfellow
Ave, where a rent strike is In prog
ress to dump IS families on the
street.
Some of the smaller children were
still in bed, others were getting ready
to leave for school when the mar
shas burst in. Screaming, crying
children, pleading mothers did not
stop them. Children were forced out,
shaking with the cold, beside the
household furniture piled on the
street.
At 7:3o in the morning, before the
marshals arrived, police were already
in the street. BY 1890 they were
augmented by q squad of so more,
including dozens of mounted COPS.
The entire block was roped off.
Noone was allowed to enter. Police
stood in the doorways of the houses
and stopped anyone from leaving.
Others were on the roofs of the
houses. Virtual martial law was in
force. The crowds of workers were
forced outside the block while the
evictions were carried through.
The report in the capitalist papers
that the tenants committee told the
marshals the families would all move
out quietly was branded as an "ab-
Solute lie' by the committee. One
worker spoke to the marshal and he
told him "We are not going to move
out, we will stay here until we either
get a settlement or we are thrown
out by force"
AT 1890 an open-air meeting was
held, protesting the evictions with
hundreds OF workers in the audience.
Today 10 more families must an
sWer eviction summonses in the Will
liam Bridge Court at 14OO William
Bridge. The Mid Bronx Unemployed
Council and the tenants of the neigh
borhood will march to the court to
exert mass pressure against the
threatened evictions.
Even If all Of us are evicted,' the
tenants said, eve will continue pick
citing and wont allow anyone to rent
the rooms until the landlord grants
our demands"

Raise Red Issue in Effort to
Remove Howard College Head

An attempt is being made to re-
move DR.. Mordecai Johnson, head
of the Howard University, because
of speech he made q year ago. In
this speech, johnson, in comment
ing on the growing response of the
toilin gNegro masses to the Com

init that the Communist Party was
carrying on a relentless and uncom-
promising struggle for the rights of
the Negro national minority. DIR.
Johnson's fractional enemies at once
seized upon these Submissions TO
brand him as Red.
The movement to remove him

The growth of the rrisis, with
growing unemployment, hass misery,

the capitalists to reduce the unem-

The Juneau Fire Departments entry in the Channel Basketball League last night defeated Doug las Bremen, 28 to 23, to win the title of the first half of the sched- ule. It was a thrilling battle, the score seesaWing first one way then the other, and was finally won by the locals in the last four min uteS of play.
 In the curtainraiser, Junea u High School girls outplayed the Douglas High School Alumni to win 25 to IT. The local sextette got away with jump for fine lead and held it throughout the game
 HclImann in Form
 It was the brilliant marksman- ship of Doc Hollomann, veteran forward, that made it possible for the local Bremen to win the de- ciding game of the first half of the League play. He was ''hot." !" Despite close guard, sometimes by two Douglas players, he made opening after opening to sink the sphere in the net. He caged seven from scrimmage and three free throws for a total score of IT, which was some achievement a. gainst the opposition set up by the Islanders.
 Metzgar, lanky center, was run nerup to Hollomann with eight points on three fields and two gift losses. Garn with one field and Connors with single-pointer add ed the other three points. The locals played hard, close checking game that threw the visitors off their balance. Blake, Garn and Hayes were particularly effective on the defense and Metzgar, as- signed to the task of stopping Gair, Island scoring ace, held him to single field goal in the first half and three of them in the se- cond.

December in San Francisco, or at least part of that month, was colder and much more d1sagreeable from a meteorological standpoint. than it was in Juneau, so J. F.

 Not only was it colder there than in this city, but the month was almost a succession of gales that did not add any to the agree ability of the climate.
 MT. Statter left here on Decem- Der T with prisoners for McNeil's Island He added an insane pa- tient to the party at Ketchikan whom he took to Portland. From there he went to San Francisco for a short vacation.
