CLYDEBANK EVICTIONS
LIVELY SCENES ENACTED. (By Telegraph —Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, December 23. There were lively scenes at Clydebank to-day as the result of a series of evictions. Sixty police escorted the eviction officers just as the night patrol of householders left. An alarm was raised by ringing a bell, and a huge crowd attempted to rush the officers, but the police intervened. The Press photographers were kicked. Arrests followed this morning. Subsequently the streets were cleared of the threatening crowd, and the eviction officers proceeded to work. The first house was cleared within half an hour. Tenants and supporters remain in the vicinity. The whole area is seething with excitement, although the presence of many police officers has a restraining effect.
