WOMEN meet TO
AID FRUIT CLERKS
More Shops Settle With
Strikers

A conference of fourteen working
women's organizations and clubs will
be held today at p. m. to intensity
activity to break down the opposition
of the open shop fruit bosses on
Bathgate Ave-, the Bronx, to the
members of the Fruit and Dairy
Clerks Union, now on strike. Plans
for the building of cooperative fruit
market to aid the fruit strikers will
also be made at the conference to-
morrow.
Officials of the Fruit Clerks Union
announced yesterday that the three
stores of Stern Bros. had settled with
the union. The union pointed out
that all but two stores on Bathgate
Ave. were open shop, and asked work
ers and working women to cooperate
with the strikers by refusing to pat
ronize the open shops. The two shops
on Bathgate Ave. which have settled
are located at 1910 and 1888.
Two pickets arrested at 1911 Bath
gate Ave. were yesterday released in
custody of counsel by the Eighth
Magistrate Court.

day evening by the owners of the
Brooklyn Labor Lyceum, 947 Will
loughby Ave, the meeting place of
many American Federation of Labor
locals under right wing control.
First a poster announcing the
meeting was removed. When the
owner was questioned about it's re
moval he claimed to know nothing
about it. The right wing A. F. of L.
officials, no doubt, used their influ-
ence to see-to it that the meeting for
miners relief should not be held.
When the miners, who were to adj
dress the meeting, came to the hall,
they were ordered out and told that
miners were not welcome. The man
ager of the Lyceum stood at the
door and as the people came told
them he knew nothing about the
meeting for miners relief and that
no meeting would be held there that
night.
An indignation meeting of the
women, who comprised the majority
of the audience, was held outside the
meeting place.

'In front of fashionably located

Cinnamon laughing and slapping each
other on the back IN their outbursts of
glee. I don't know when ever saw
Cinnamon so emotional. Out of curt

see what had amused them. 1t wasn't
any cute antics of the Chow puppies,

asked one of the Cinnamon what they
were laughing at. This brought a
fresh outburst, but, after gaining con-
troll of himself, the one who seemed
to have the best command of English

not previously noticed. 1t gave the
price of puppies as $50 each. That
price was what made the Cinnamon
laugh.

Women Well Satisfied
With Modern Conditions

Ladies and gentlemen of the old
school who complain that men of to-
day treat women with none of the
old-time gallantry viii doubtless be
surprised to learn that many modern
women prefer it so. For there are
compensations.
The attitude of men toward women
is nicer than it used to be. The wom-
en- all seem to think So And they feel
they enjoy being with them more than
they used to- 1t is not hard to ex-
plain.
Women are doing so many more
things alongside of men, socially and
in the business world, and they are
beginning to understand the male
point of view better; and men are be.
ginning to understand women better.
There is more camaraderie. More
laughter together, More places of en-
tertainment TO which they can both
go. Yes, the women like the world bet
ter, as well as the men.-Vivian Don
