Laundry Workers

President Brock of the international
Laundry Workers Union, whose address
before the Denver Trades and labor
Assembly some months ago created
sensation by reason of the detestable
methods he told OF whereby laundry
owners had attempted to coerce or bribe
him, has recently had another expert
ence in Toledo, Ohio. Assisted by Bus
mess Agent Quinlivan OF the Central La
Dor Union of that city and two news
paper men, he exposed an attempt Of
the employers to disrupt the Laundry
Workers Union, which is preparing to
increase wages. Brock told the three
men of the offer made by President
Wunderlich of the Reliable Laundry
Company, the largest union concern in
Toledo. Wunderlich promised Brock ST.
900 and $500 year if he would lift
the charter OF the union and ship 1t to
the headquarters organization at Troy,
n. Y Brock told his friends he intend
ed to accept the offer and expose the
emplovers' methods. He then asked that
they search him thoroughly. Quinlivan
and the newspaper men followed Brock,
who had the charter and unions docu-
ments with him. They saw him meet
Wunderlich. when the latter passed
something to Brock and then they both
stopped at an express office, where the
charter was left. At special meeting
Of the Central Labor Union Brock and
Quinlivan told their story, and the for
mer showed the 81 900 in $50 and 500
bills. II was decided to use the money
to further the wage movement OF the
laundry workers. The incident is being
used by these workers in their organiz-
ing campaign to point TO the value OF
an organization that employers will
spend such sums to destroy.

to make some repairs He cut the gas
off TO do this and when he turned it

cut off all lights went out When It
was turned on again the small pilot
lights were not burning and the gas
from these small jets escaped Fortu-

were open
Enough escaped Thursday night to

gas escaping, considerable time would
have been required for a DANGEROUS
quantity to accumulate Often the
