3s5 BAKERIES SIGN UP - BIG
FELLOWS STILL HOLD OUT
NO BREAD FAMINE
385 bakeries in Chicago have
signed better working and wage
agreements with their employees;
LOO workers are back on the job.
Only Is bakeries are holding out.
They comprise the big fellows like
Heissler & Junge, Carl SUlzer, Grant
Baking Co., Schultz, Livingston and
others who were responsible for the
jump in bread prices.
TOday's peace conference" in
Mayor ThOmpsOn's Office between
union agents and the employers was
a fizzIe. Bosses refused to listen to
mems demands. They walked out
without making an effort to, fOTestall
horrible bread famine" they have
been shouting about.
Rudolph Kearn, Henry Schaeffer,
Geo. Eckhart and Leo Haffner rep
resented the Bakers and Connection
ers' union at the conference. The
bosses were represented by Edw.
Heissler, Heissler & JUnge; Merrill
Hutchinson, Carl Sulzer Co.; H. P.
Grant, Grant Co.; L. Livingston, G. E.
Davis, Schultz Bakery.
Rudolph Kearn attacked the
bread famine" stories published in
the trust press as newspaper bunk"
put over by the big advertising bak-
ers. He said there was no need for
a shortage of bread. He also said the
union would take care of all hospitals
that did not bake their own bread.
The bakery drivers are expected to
walk out tonight after a conference
with officials Of the Transfers Joint
Council.

the price of the loaf and cutting
down it's size, when asked for an in
crease in wages to meet the cost

standard product of Chicago's bak-
cries, were spread about by the press
agents of the Iabor-fghting employ
ers today to curry public opinion
against the men seeking a union
wage.
This is the second attempt of the
bosses to force the men into drop
ping their request for an increase.
Saturday, just before the strike was
called, publicity agents for the bak-
ers managed to get a story into print
to the effect that the government
would take over and operate the
bakeries if the men struck as plan
ned
Offers Of mediation came from sew
eraI sources. Chief in prominence
was Mayor Thompson, who asked
representatives of the employers and
men to come to his office at 1920 to-
day for a conference. Judge William
Chambers of the federal bound Of
mediation and Leo J. Winpiecke Of
the state board of arbitration arrived
in the city yesterday to give their
services toward settlement of the
trouble.
Meanwhile the bread-baking habit
is growing back on the people of the
city and there is no doubt that the
bakeries will suffer when business is
again resumed. Because of the high
cost Of the little loaf, thousands Of
housewives will continue to use the
homemade article long after peace
has been effected.
