BOSS LAUNDRYMEN TRYING TO
KEEP MEN FROM BANDING
There are over $500 laundry driv-
ers in Chicago and only about 200
of them belong to the Laundry Driy-
ers' Union.
An attempt is being made to or
ganize all of them, and the Chicago
Laundrymen's Association is doing
everything it can to prevent organ
ization.
This fight illustrates the general
attitude of employers toward en-
ployes. The association has spies
among the drivers and is issuing
strictly confidential bulletins to it's
members.
The bulletin of Nov. II gave mem
bers report of meeting of Laun-
dry and Dye House Drivers Local
Union No. 712, telling all that hap
pened at the union meeting.
A later bulletin said the organizers
were getting aggressive and told of
having eight men arrested for hang
ing around barn of one of the laun-
drymen. The bulletin says:
you are, particularly cautioned at
this time about hiring new drivers
without looking up their records thor
oughly. Under no circumstances
should you hire driver at this time
without looking up his record Also
in hiring drivers you should be ex-
