was turned out in short quantities by
employees about the bakery-not mem
bers OF the union-who understood
the baking trade.
Most local bakeries did not attempt
to handle side-line luXuries. although
one large bakery turned out rolls and
buns in large Quantities.
Reports that the General Baking
Company, included in the ranks of
the larger local bakeries, had signed
the new agreement stipulating the
wage increase from 80 cents to 81
for day work and 81 to $1.2O for
night work, were confirmed at the
