1 Carlton Ave, Brooklyn. This shop
was organized in June, 1898, by P. P.
Cosgrove, organizer of the Shoe
Workers Protective Union and signed
by agreement to March, 1927. Benson
engaged loft in the same budding
and fitted it up for the manufacture
of shoes. His first move was to per-
suade some Of the workers from the
firm of Benson and Kimler to put
money into his business which he
called the Aetna Shoe Corporation,
with the promise of steady work to all
those investing
District Council 2 of the Shoe Work
ers Protective Union conferred with
Kimler regarding his relation with the
new company, but he denied any CON
nection. Since then, however, the deal
ings between the two firms have been
of such a nature that the Council felt
convinced that they were one and the
same. Consequently strike was de-
clared and the shop is being picketed
with strike headquarters at 1872 Cum
berland ST., Brooklyn, N. Y.
