jazz S,uells Ranks of
Striking Chair-P lishers

ATLANTIC CITY, July o.
The striking chair-pushers, in
tent upon keeping their ranks in
tact, engaged several jazz Or
chestras to play in the vicinity of
the Boardwalk to-day. The re-
suits exceeded their fondest
hopes. No sooner did back
sliding negro begin to shuttle
toward a chair stand than his
feet began to patter to the melody
and his body to sway to its
rhythm.
The lure was irresistible to the
negro strikers, and all who
started to desert came dancing
back to the field. To make as
surance doubly sure, however, the
American Federation of Bust
ness Agents, which organized the
union, also has established vaude-
vile shows for the strikers and
serves cabaret luncheons for
them. More than one hundred of
the strike breakers are said to
have been enrolled in the union
by these means.
