families in the tenement house at 635
East 18th Street, this week. won an
other temporary victory over the
powerful Title Guarantee and Trust
Co, owners of the building, when
Judge Arthur ]. McNulty, in Madi-
son Street Court, allowed them a 30
day stay. The owners are trying to
|evict the tenants on the grounds of inn
proving the apartments, but the oc-
|cupents declare, it is just ruse to get
Negroes out in order to change the
place over into white" apartment
house.
The tenants were informed by mail
last August that they would have to
vacate their apartments. A delegation
from the East Side Tenants Union
protested to the trust companys rent
ing office, the H. c. Hillyer Co. The
delegation got no satisfaction from the
owners or their agents.
A second delegation and postcard
campaign protesting the evictions final
ly forced the company to withdraw
dispossess proceedings. The move to
evict the tenants was soon resumed,
however.
Judge McNulty will make his de-
cision known in a few days, meanwhile
staying execution of any dispossess
notice at least 80 days.

Bureau of Investigation, made, public
this week report virtually whitewash-

pers, and attacked the New Deal
Some 1000 evicted sharecroppers
camped on the U. S. Missouri highway
last January after landlords had put
them off their land. One sharecropper
died from exposure
Hoover's report went on to place
blame for the .evictions on the New
Deal, and then attacked both relief and
the New Deals farm policies.
The report said that the "investiga-
ton failed to reflect one instance" of
an. eviction, but it admitted that the
camped sharecroppers had received
either oral or written instructions to
vacate" from the landlords.
The report admitted further that the
investigation sustained cropper COM
plants that they lived under extreme
ly poor. sanitary conditions with hard
ly the bare necessities of life. 1t said
that they existed principally on corn
#pone and the cheapest of meats.
