KOSHER BUTCHERS ARE Willy.
THEY LET THE BENCHMEN's ASSOCIATION
REPRESENTATIVE GET NO EVIDENCE
OF SUNDAY BEEF SELLING

According to Indications most Of the five hundred
journeymen butchers from the Benchmen's Asso-
citation of Retail Butchers OF New-York, who were
to invade the lower East Side according to State
Chairman Pfaehler's letter 10 Mayor Low, and put
an end 10 the Sunday selling of meat forgot to
appear yesterday. 1t probably Just well. for
the letter closed the kosher butchers about tight
possible.
The kosher butchers live either over or in the
rear OF their shops. The police have discovered
that, despite their best efforts. there will always
be kosher beef sold Sunday. In order 10 get a
conviction the officer must actually see the meat
given TO the customer, and see the money handed
TO the proprietor or salesman. The butchers per-
sonally know 50 per cent of their customers and
have no hssitancy in admitting them as friends or
callers. The police say they likewise have no
hestancy in cutting off steak or roast to assist
in the general clean up Of the establishment Some
times, too, this steak or roast the caller absent
was bought Saturday evening and left with the
butcher until Sunday morning because he had an
iceboX.
1t is said that hundred or more OF the bench
mems committee visited the East Side yesterday.
The moment OF them stepped into kosher
shop the proprietor knew exactly who he was
The trouble between the Benchmen's Association
and the eight hundred East Side butchers grew
of the fact that the latter recently obtained
permit TO keep open on Sundays during the Jewish
holidays. The permit did not state the exact date
for closing. and the kosher meat sellers decided
10 go ahead until stopped.
