ers.
There are about II 900 fur workers
in the New York market. Negotiations
between the United Fur Manufactur-
ers, Inc, the Greek employing group,
and the union are still going on but
union officials expect that a general
strike will have to be called. Full pre-
parations for the strike have been
made and a strike committee is ready
to function upon a few hours notice
The majority of fur manufacturers
are Independents, taking their lead in
dealings with unions usually from the
employers associations. The Asso-
ciated declaration that it will attempt
to reopen its shops on a non-union
basis is not intimidating the workers.
The employers group indicates its in
tention of employing an army Of
private guards in fighting the union.
Union demands which employers
refused to concede include the 40-hour
week, equal division of work and no
discharge.
