Backed by tho city government,
between 3,500 and 4,000 Jersey City
rent payers went on strike this morn
ing. James E. Gannon Jr., Director ot
Revenue and Finance of Jersey City,
whoi Is dlrccllng the strike, sold It
would be several days before tho full
number of strikers had been tabu
lated. Tho strike was advised by Mr.
Gannon nt a mass meeting Saturday
in the City Hall. Advertisements In
a Jersey City paper by Mr. Gannon
called upon all tenants who had re
ceived dispossess or Increased rent
notices Affective March 1 to attend

"Do not pay any increased rent
March 1, if you feel the increase is j
not justified," read tlie advertisement,
which was signed by Mr. Qannon as j
Director of Finance and Revenue. "All
costs of litigation, where advised, will
be borne by the city."
Mr. Gannon said this morning a
similar strlko was declared In Feb

were backed by tho city In their pro
tests. Tho landlords took sixteen ot
these coses Into court nnd lost firnc
tlcally nil or them, tho city and 'tho
tennnt in each Instanco Insisting on
a Jury trial. As a result, according
to Mr. Gannon, .the tenants wero
saved from 13 to $10 each, thus pre
venting tho ront prolltcers from in
creasing their revenue by $30,000 a
month.
In addition to helping tenants, Mr.
Gannon expects tho strlko to Impress
upon tho New Jersey Legislature tho
necessity of immediate Jegisiation.
Mr. Gannon is going to Trenton to

Against Ratification
WASHINGTON. Mnixili i: An early
und unfavorable vole on ratification of
the pence treaty was forecast In tho
Senato to-day when Republican lead
ers, replying to the demands of tli:'
treaty's Irreconcilable Republican op
ponents, reaffirmed their decision not
to accept any chnnge of subdanco or
of language. In the Republican reser
vation to Article X.
Both sides concede that enough
Democratic Senators to defeat ratifica
tion aro determined to stand with Pres
ident Wilson and vote ngulnst the
treaty unless the Article X. qualifica
tion i modified,
The Republican decision to-day wa.i
followed by evidence that all the ele
mentis in tho Senate fight would co
operate to end debate and let the
treaty Issue go undecided Into the cam
paign.
Some or the leaders predicted a final
votu bv Thursday, but others thought
it would not come before the first of
next week.
Under tho agreonient between the
Republican loaders and the Irrecon
cllnblcs, tho lattor will not carry out
tho proposed programme of prolonged
debate. s Thoy will support tho Re
publican reservation programme as
they did nt the last session, but will
vote, at they did then, against rati
fication. To-day's decision grow out of a con
ference between the Republican
leader, Senntor Lodge of Massachu
setts and Senator Borah, Republican,
Idaho, a spokesman, for the Irrecon
clln trios. Previously Senator Borah
had conferred with Senator Hitch
cock, or Nebraska, tho Democratic
lender.
In tho unyielding stahd they have
taken on Article X. tho Administra
tion forces arc uridcrstood to havo
been backed up by a reaffirmation of
President Wilson's decision not to ac
cept tho Republican reservation.
