  We present the first scientific results from the luminous red galaxy sample
(LRG) of the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS). We
measure the small and intermediate scale clustering from a sample of more than
61,000 galaxies in the redshift range $0.6 < z < 0.9$. We interpret these
measurements in the framework of the Halo Occupation Distribution. The bias of
eBOSS LRGs is $2.30 \pm 0.03$, with a satellite fraction of $13\pm3$\% and a
mean halo mass of $2.5\times10^{13}h^{-1}M_{\odot}$. These results are
consistent with expectations, demonstrating that eBOSS galaxies will be
reliable tracers of large scale structure at $z\sim 0.7$. The eBOSS galaxy bias
implies a scatter of luminosity at fixed halo mass, $\sigma_{\log L}$, of 0.19
dex. Using the clustering of massive galaxies from BOSS-CMASS, BOSS-LOWZ, and
SDSS, we find that $\sigma_{\log L}=0.19$ is consistent with observations over
the full redshift range that these samples cover. The addition of eBOSS to
previous surveys allows investigation of the evolution of massive galaxies over
the past $\sim 7$ Gyr.
