THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 6,
246 RENTS WERE DUE BUT NOT ONE TENANT PAID A PENNY
Wives Leading In Strike to Force Reductions
From A Special Correspondent
Rents were due in Quinn Buildings, Russia Lane, Bethnal Green; recently, and the agent, Mr. Harry Smart, spent the day trying to collect them, but not one of the 246 tenant families paid him a penny.
Without exception they had banded together in the Quinn Square Tenants' Association, which has sent the landlords, R. and P. Properties, a statement that no rent will be paid until rents are lowered and repairs made.
"It's us women who are the power behind the Association, and we're keeping the men's courage up," I was told by Mrs. Ernest Baldwin, wife of a local house-painter and mother of five young children. Her husband carns £3 a week.
"I've sat down, and cried my eyes out after paying out 178. for rent with nothing left in the house to buy food with," she
· added.
Here is one of the 70 cases which are bolig investigated on behalf of the Association.
Mr. Arthur Antill, a bookbinder, showed
