Fake Bakery Union
Issues PhOny Label
to Deceive Buyers

Jewish bakers continuing their
strike against Pechter's and Messing's
bakeries in the Bronx found new
enemy when the strike-breakers
were organized into a fake union"
by the bosses.
A fake union label, stuck on loaves
baked in these noh-union shops, is
confusing many housewives who do
not examine the sticlker closely. The
strikers ask that purchasers make
sure that the Bakers union label is
affixed to all bread they buy.
Leaflets warning friends of the
union of the deception being attempt
ed by the two shops, which have been
struck for several weeks, were passed
out yesterday by union members.

Big Welcome for Heroes

Three hours of waiting only served

the fur workers who were released
from Mineola on Certificate Of rea-
sonable doubt" after being tried and
convicted in Nassau County for an
alleged raid on Rockville Center fur
shop during the 1926 strike.
No sooner had the. autos carrying
the men turned into 22nd st. from
Broadway, than the cry rose "Here
they come" and there was a mad rush
for the corner-in spite of policemen
and every other attempted obstruc-
ton.
The cars were stopped, the men
grabbed and carried down the block
on the shoulders Of devoted fellow
workers.
There were shouts, and embraces,
hand-shakings and tears, and the re-
leased prisoners had scarcely a chance
to greet their patient wives, and
mothers and sisters and sweethearts,
before they were carried to the win

From. literary standpoint 1t left
much to be desired. But, sentiment
tally speaking, it was balm to
Nancy's heart. If ne would live up
to the promise this letter implied
her position was established.
Dreamy she pictured her
self in the distant future mistress OF
beautiful home. The mother of
two or three darling children, who
would call the naughty Mrs. Hol-
Landslide grandmother"
In the meantime she was faced by

how different it was going to be than
she had anticipated at the close of
the term
She was right in this prediction.
It was year of social triumphs.
Raymond's championship as well as
her own changed attitude paved the
way for a definite popularity.
The crowd. suddenly discovered
that Nancy was a gay, fun-loving
girl, full of ideas, an asset to any
gathering. Although living in the
wrong end of town she seemed able
to do her share of entertaining,
doing 1t without apologies and so
nicely that ti,c guests were able to
forget that they hao been forced to
cross tae tracks.
Her mother appeared 1T these
functions at intervals. Dressed in
dark satin with a bit of lace at the
throat, Amanda was sweet-looking.
With tireless, amending persistence
Nancy coached her in the part she
was to play.
Don't say too much" she empha-
sized. "Just look pretty and I'll see
that they have a good time"
Amanda, eager to help her daugh-
ter win the recognition to which she
was entitled, would promise any
thing. Silas Gage was not so
amenable.

Everyone smiled, and Raymond
touched her arm, possessively, and
reminded her that she had promised
to sing.
His loyalty was very sweet and
never failed. Violets for Valentines

1t was true. But Nancy could not

her these attentions had he not
seen her at the Larabee's.

But you don't really care about

She wished he had taken kiss as
he had tried to do before. What was
the matter with her? Was she never
to forget that other evening? As
she lifted her frightened lips to his,
she was conscious again of tingling
at the back of her neck.
