CLYDEBANK TENANTS
EVICTIONS CARRIED OUT. STRONG POLICE GUARD. Reuter’s Telegram. LONDON, December 23. There were lively scenes at Clydebank to-day, owing to a senes of evictions. Sixty members of the police force escorted the eviction officers, and just as the night patrol of householders left, the alarm was raised by the ringing of a bell. A huge crowd attempted to rush the officers, but the police intervened. A press photographer was kicked, and an arrest followed. THREATENING CROWDS. Reuter’s Telegram (Received December 25, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, December 23. Subsequently the streets were cleared of threatening crowds, and the eviction officers proceeded to work. The first house was cleared within half an hour. The tenants and their supporters remain in the vicinity, and the whole area is seething with excitement, although the presence of many police officers has a restraining effect.
