CLYDEBANK EVICTIONS
BARRICADES SHATTERED (By Meotrio Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Beaters Telegrams.) LONDON, Dec. 30. Four evictions carried out at Clydebank during the morning were witnessed by large crowds, but there was no demonstration. Officers were compelled to shatter barricaded doors midst screams from the occupants. Scouts warned the neighbourhood. Hundreds of women and children were crying piteously and the crowds jeered and hooted the officers, especially in the fourth house, whence agonising screams proceeded while the door was pounded. The evicters found the kitchen barricaded with a sewing machine, tables, and beds. The. inmates rushed the officer when he penetrated the interior. The police came to the rescue, and restored order.
