October 23, 1936 Despicable Scheme Used In Eviction Sheriffs, Police Smash Doors to Gain Entrance Smashing their way into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, at 5381 Windsor St, Wednesday forenoon, sheriffs, aided by city police, car- ied out the eviction of the family .of seven on the instructions of H. R. Fullerton, who held the mortgage on the home, interest on which was paid last month. Mr. Johnson arrived while the eyiction was in process, and despite His protest and demands that his Helongings be left on the sidewalk Z£ no other place could be found, wis furniture and other effects were gemoved to storage, leaving the #amily only the clothes they were wearing. A sly method of sending a police officer to see that the way was g2lear by asking Mrs. Johnson, who ‘was alone at the time, if she had sent in a cal] about pickets at the jhouse, was used by the sheriff, who -waited around the corner with more wolice and moving vans: Mrs. Johnson, who is suffering 4rom the results of nervous tension and is under a doctor's care, sensed -what was about to happen and went 40 a neighbor’s. The sheriffs and police found their way clear to @mash in the doors when they ar- xived a few minutes later. : Late Wednesday evening Ald. Mc- Donald was contacted and at- Zempted to have the city council ao something for the family, but «was frustrated by the other alder- men. Alderman Smith, who found Wr. Johnson waiting, asked what jie was hanging around the City Fall for, no house could be found there. Relief Officer Bone, who was @alled by Ald. Smith, met the evict- ed man with the exclamation, “Oh, you have been bucking the evic- 4ion,”” and proceeded to inform the distressed victim that he would thave to sign over his wages from the Still Creek sewer job where he 4s working before anything could te done for him. When the man asked what would iappen after that, he was told that the could look after himself. After darkness had fallen the hunt for a house was started while #he children were left on the streets at their former home. Three small rooms were found for the family in 4 downtown rooming house after considerable searching. Ald. McDonald has promised to #0 into the legal aspect of the case, #o find out if sheriffs and police have authority to smash their way. 4nto homes even if they have evic- tion orders.

DOCK ACCIDENT Was General Manager of Kingsley Navigation Company Thrown from the dock onto the fender pile, Mr. R. Mather, general manager and vice-president of the Kingsley Navigation Co., was in- stantly killed at the Ballantyne Pier, midnight Wednesday. Full details of the accident are lacking, but it is known that the S:S. “Rochelle” whose crew are on strike was being moved along the dock at the time, with the officers, ete. handling the lines. It is pre- sumed that Mr. Mather, who was at the pier in connection with the vessel, stumbled and fell over the dock’s edge while carrying a line, or was pulled over by a suddent tautening of the line. Fog was ex- tremely dense at the time, and coupled with this, the winch-driver, strike-breakers, were inexperi- enced. The death of Mr. Mather adds to the long list of fatalities and acci- dents which haye been caused by the determination of the Shipping Federation to victimize the men who took part in the strike of last summer.

The first film to be shown here will be ‘Three Women.’ This film will open on midnite November 8th and continue for the entire week, running from 2 p.m. continuous. Although the Russian producers are maintaining their policy of equality of characterization in this picture they, for the first time, use the “star’’ system and also intro- duce a real love interest. IL. Aimsh- tam is the director. The story opens in St. Petersburg in 1914. Three little girls, Asya, Zoya and Natasha, are left homeless when Asya’s mother, a stviker in a rubber factory, dies from poisoning. The children, with a boy, attempt to earn their livelihood in a tavern and are thrown out. An old revolu- tionist takes charge of them and they continue with suecess only to escape with difficulty from the police who raid thetavern. Revolu- tion breaks out and the three girls become Red Cross nurses in the Red Army. In the meantime the young lad, Senka, who is in love with Zoya, has also joined the Soviet Army and their love remains strong through days of civil war. They make plans to marry, while Natasha desires to be a commissar in Anrei’s Division and Asya hopes to be useful in the struggle, when a bullet from a White soldier ends her life and the three friends are separated. These three \women, have been any women give a dramatic, heart-rendering picture of the part the MRussian women played for their country in the civil war. who might in Russia, Mr. Clavir has assured us that the Soviet masterpiece that is now showing at the Madison theatre, Toronto, “Song of Happiness,’ will soon be shown to the theatregoers of Vancouver. i if ou don’t subscribs to thir at Room 28, 163 West Hastings Radios and Tubes Tested Free in Your Home. ss street. paper. send in a sub now. e own booth.

REBELS LOSE (Continued from Page 1) stands before a threat: lose Africa or lose Madrid. Franco Not Sure of Troops He will in all likelihood press for a quick decision in Spain in the expectation that he can deal with ation for a frantic, desperate at- tack on the capital. Time is press- ing. The revolt in Africa is spread- ing. His Moorish soldiers are bound to grow restless if they learn that the Foreign Legion is at grips with their blood brothers in Africa. In the meantime Madrid is or- ganizing, its feeble defences. The new levies of recruits have been incorporated in the army. Bight battalions are expected to be ready for the fray in a few weeks. Slowly the unity of command, ushered in by Indalecio Prieto, is beginning to take effect. Militia units do not leave for the front on their own hook to pick their own position and leave it again when they no longer think it worth defending. Discipline is being born. Resist- ance is stiffening. Differences. of opinion between various labor or- ganizations are being relegate to the rear. There is only one task: Beat Bascism. There is only one ery: “INo paseran!”’ (They shall not pass!) Perfect order reigns. The “red terror’ exists only in the imagina- tion of fascist news purveyors: In Catalonia the workers are doing wonders in the new social order they are setting up. The under- ground and railways run as perfect- ly under workers’ control as the famous Rome express in Mrusso- lini’s country. bd Wobody here in Madrid doubts the final victory over Fascism, even in this grave hour. Everybody is steel- ing himself for the days to come when Franco will almost certainly, in an effort ot win a quick decision, use poison gas. Even now the rebels are looking for a provocation. Atro- city stories, peddled all over the world by the flunkeys of the press, are to serve as a pretext for using gas. The approbation of mankind is to be won for the ghastly business of choking to death the men and women of the Popular Front.
