HE IS FIGHTING TO PURIFY YOUR
 LOAF OF BREAD

Charles Iffland, the man to whom
 pr! Charles Parkhurst gave over his
 New York church for one night in
 of making bread and baking it under
 hygenic conditions arrived in this city this morning. MT. Iffland comes from Chicago and is one of the gem eral organizers of the Bakery & Con- fectionery Workers International Un- ion of North America.
 He was seen by a Farmer reporter this morning and asked about the conditions in the trade in New York.
 He said: t'The bakery workers in New trust in New York with much sue cess. Besides helping themselves they have been aiding the working people at large for if the big baking combine in New York that is out to control the bread producing business should ever get g control ,I it it means lea that the size of the loaves.
 About 2 years ago when we started our fight in New York there were only 800 0O0 Ioaves of bread turned out each week bearing the label of the organi- zation. Now there are 800, 900 labels in use. During the past six years we a haIe rs1eed eed wages @ In + N@W fI aoTa & ana ton. The demand for the bread with the union label has been increased in New York so greatly that the bread trust" is sending car lOaveS of bread into Connecticut every day. Our or ganization has been somewhat neg leeted in Connecticut and we intend to buiId-it up.. All that ask is to get the support of the clergymen and the women's clubs and we gain strength at once for if there is any body of work CTS who are poorly paid and who work long hours it is the bakers. The wage scale in Bridgeport should be from S14 to $2O per week. but there are not many men getting it. We fla vor a nine hour day and there are many here I understand, who are working 12 hours and more. There are over 200 bakers here and only 50 are in the organization. The organi- zation is endeavoring to get all con- sumptives out of the bakeshops It provides benefit for members who become sick but before it admits any members it requires a rigid physical examination and any member who ficted with any disease cannot become a member of the organization
 fsWe are in hopes of getting the people of Connecticut who are fight ing the great white Tlague to help us in getting the consumptives out of the bakeshops. A loaf of bread bearing the label cannot be made by a consumptive for none are permit ted in the organizat ton. The labels are not stuck onto the bread with any preparation. They are laid on the bread dry and the moisture at ta ched to the bread causes them to stick.
 Ut was very kind of Dr. ParIzhurst to turn his church over to me for 2 short talk and I hope to be able to get a hearing before several church organizations and societies in this city.
