EVICTIONS IN GLASGOW.
HOUSE-OWNERS ENRAGED. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT
LONDON, Nov. 13. The Clydeside rent strike, which hinges on the tenants’ demands for pre-war rents : and their refusal to pay arrears, has taken a complicated turn. A sheriff," by. a surprise raid in the absence of the tenants’ scouts, on Wednesday carried out seven evictions. Sympathisers during the night restored six of the occupants with the whole of their belongings. The owners of the premises have now begun proceedings for house-breaking. Meanwhile the tenants organised a brigade of; cyclist scouts to frustrate further, attempts at eviction. The Daily Herald, Glasgow, reports that the landlords are angry over the evictions, and intend to secure further evictions. One landlord is represented as saying: ‘‘The Government is behind ns. _ The people must pay or quit.” The rent tribunal instituted through the efforts of Mr. David Kirkwood, a Lahourt member of the House of Combroke down as the result of the landlords’, insistence upon post-war rents, which the tenants maintain they cannot pay.
