Bronze Workers Strike
Continues Strong After
Nine Weeks of Struggle

The Iron and Bronze Workers Union
has been conducting a strike at the
Royal Brass Go. for the last nine
weeks.
The cause Of the strike is the break
ing of the agreement by the Royal
Brass, which was signed with the
union six months ago. 1t was agreed
at that time that the working hours
per week should be Al. That a GER
tain minimum scale Of wages should
prevail and several other union condi-
tions would he inaugurated. The
agreement was made for a years time.
But the Royal Brass became tired Of
the union conditions in the shop and
is trying TO break the agreement.
The Royal Brass wants to go back
TO the 4S hour week and all other
good things" he had six months ago.
And although the bosses claim that
he never dealt with the union. yet he
knows all the tricks and schemes Of
fighting the strikers. Gangsters, po-
lice and detectives arc not strange 10
him. But the strikers do not mind
them. They are carrying on the pick
citing duty without fear. And they
are convinced that the Royal Brass
will have to give in TO the demands
Of the union.
