a MARSHAL EVICTS - 23 TENANTS FOR SYMPATHY STRIKE Scownipitie Pecite | People natesed to Pay Rents Because 20 Others Were Evicted. Last Week. Petty Marshal David Goldberg evicted twenty-three tenants in the Brownsville District to-day as a re- sult of @ sympathy strike they had engaged in, refusing to pay their rents until twenty other tenanys who had been evicted last week were taken back. Of the twenty-three evictions ten were of families from No, 471 Powell ‘Street, four from No, 431 Alabama Avenue and nine from No, 452 Will- jams Avenue, — who knows is as yet pre- pared\ to talk of the result of a con- ferendd held yegterday by Nathan Hirsch, Chairman of the Mayor's is Jommittee on Rent Profiteering; Al- {derman William T. Collins, Chairman ‘Not the Aldermanic Committee on Gen- eral Welfare, and Job E. Hedges, counsel for the Association of Life | Insurance Presidents. It is said, | however, that the insurance compa- nies are preparing to lend $3,000,000,- | 000 for building dwellings and that New York City is to get enough to warrant the erection of enough to house all its people. ‘That the situation is at present as bad as ever is evidenced by the num- ber of complaints of rent increases reported by tenants both to The Evening World and to the Mayor's Committee. A tenant on Manhattan Avenue tolls of rents in his building | jumped from $50 to $100, Mayor, Hylan to-day signed two | legislative bills, the combined effect | of which is to give a tenant forty. five days’ time before an eviction notice becomes effective. Under the! provision of one measure a landlord | S required. to grant a twenty days'| notice. ‘The other bill gives a Munt- cipal Court Judge the right to grant another twenty days’ extension. Added to these is the original five days’ period. It is expected that the twin mea- sures, which aim @ serious blow at rent profiteers, will be signed by Gov; Smith to-night or to-morrow, They become effective immediately after the Governor's approval. The Mayor gave a-hearing in City Hall on the two bills, Edward -P. Doyle, representing real estate inter- est, and John H. he represented the real « ot George G. Hallock Jr's Sons, ob- jected to one feature of the measures. He said his concern was financially nterested in 600 east side tenements where there is no rent profitecring that undesirable tenants given even fifty days’ extensions before evietion could do considerable da age to property, and he hinted t he landlord wasn't always sure getting justice from the courts, ~ “Haven't you Hallock, who said | tate firm | | forty or | any confidence at all! n the Judges?” the Mayor asked Haliocx, “1 wouldn't lke to be quoted on hat,” retorted Hallock sharply, When asked for his name by the Mayor Hallock gave it, and then! dded; o “You ought to remember me, Mr. Mayor, for you) had. me indicted for|the Rochambeau and wants to take in connection with a! |Miss Verna Snell of the Red Cross. |Miss Snell declares she will appeal ‘to President Wilson oanslaughter R.
