The fees are: $2 for 12 sessions in every subject.

The league is about three months old and has over 100 mem- bers. It operates by holding open- air meetings, sending committees to | court in dispossess cases and orgah- {izing the tenants in the houses where | such cases arise. A mobilization at 544 Dumon Ave. took place, and when the landlord found that the tenants there were organizing he gave up the idea of throwing out an unemployed laundry worker, and agred to take whatever the man could pay until he got & job.
