STRIKE GETTING
WAGE INCREASE

The strike of the kosher butchers
of Chicago, Local Union No. 500, that
has been on since Labor Day, was
won yesterday by the strikers with all
their demands granted.

Heretofore, only the Hebrew holidays
were observed in the kosher meat
shops.

their speedy victory. Martin Sabin,
one of the strikers told the DAILY

organized and everything in fine
shape. However, we are glad it's over

Good for Company

The employees of the Western Elec-

speed-up system inaugurated in the
Hawthorne plant and exposed by the
DAILY WORKER is a scheme to in
crease the profits of the electric trust
and give the workers a vacation with
out pay.
When the heads of the company in
stituted the get together policy and
even condescended to address the
workers at noon time, everything was
painted in rosy colors. But now with
winter coming, it is not so pleasant
for the thousands of workers who are
getting laid off to contemplate facing
the cold weather without any visible
means of support.
One of the discharged employees Of
the Western Electric company inform
ed the DAILY WORKER that he was
laid off indefinitely. Thirty-seven
per cent OF the tool room employees
are slated for the street, and it is
planned to drop 65 per cent from the
payroll in the entire plant
The company engineers are advised
TO work out plans that will enable the

Big MEETING

Especial to the DAILY WoRKER)
ZIEGLER, ILL.,, Sept. 4.-One
thousand Southern Illinois min
ers from surrounding coal
mines stood in the Park PaVil-
ion last night, cIapped and
cheered the speech of William
z. Foster, presidential candidate
of the Workers Party, and con-
tributed several hundred dol
lars to the Communist cam
paign.
Rumors were spread thru
town by the Ku Klux Khan yes
terday that they were out to
"get" Foster, and a few of
them turned up at the meeting.
But when they saw the mass of
miners and the enthusiasm they
displayed for the working class
party, the Kluxers quickly
turned tail and left the meeting.
Fight Fake Leaders
1.-THE miners of Southern Illinois are
making a great fight not only against
the employers, but against the re-
dictionary officials of the miners union
who by their class collaboration
policies work hand in glove with the
coal operators. The miners of South
ern Illinois deserve great credit for
the gallant fight they have made and
are making against the open shop
drive and against the unemployment
thrust on them by the system of ex-
ploitation" Foster declared. But Of
ficials like Frank harrington who be-
tray the miners and propose that the
miners produce coal more cheaply,
deserve no credit. They leave the
field open for the coal operators to
inject their campaign for the reduc-
tton of wages into the unemployment
brisis."
Would 6etray Workers
Foster declared La Toilette would,
