CLOTHING STRIKE
IN TORONTO seen
Threat Made Against
Right Wing Terror

TORONTO, March 7. - A general
strike Of all the workers in the mems
clothing industry here will probably
be effected if the right wing Off
Gals of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers Union and the employers
refuse to reinstate the workers VINO
have been summarily discharged for
heir left wing activities. The Tip
Top Tailoring Company, the first
firm to obey the union officials order
that three left wingers be discharged
and the Miller Coat Shop, which
served dismissal notices on two other
workers, are already completely tied
up by spontaneous 100 per cent
walk-out.
Workers Demands.
The giving of one weeks pay in
lieu of notice to worker in the Heb
Ierlin Shop was also the signal for
an immediate walk-out. The demand
of the strikers who have already or
ganized picket lines, is that no worker
be thrown from the Job by the union
bureaucrats for fighting against the
right wing policies in the union.
A NEE ing last Sunday Of nearly
every worker in the trade unanimous
ly decided that a general strike be
called if immediate reinstatement is
not affected.
It was learned that Benjamin
Schlosseberg, secretary treasurer, of
the Amalgamated is already on his
way to Toronto in an effort to settle
the dispute, but it is doubtful, accord
ing to the sentiment here, whether
the workers would be willing to make
any concessions, since most of them
believe that the attack against the
left wing was made under the ex-
press instructions Of the national
leaders of the union.
Excuse Z Bosses.
The issue used by the union Off
cialdom in ordering he workers dis
charge was that they refused to obey
q union order posted in the shops,
Schlossberg, secretary-treasurer of
that all distribution and circulation
of the Canadian Jewish Communist
weekly be stopped Immediately.

has eaten into them and he even took

can't let him out of my sight. Great

MY wordl You're baby's teeth and
Jaws must be well-developed, Mrs. O.,
You've heard of the editor who. in

told him that II dog bites a man,
that's not news; but If a man bites a
dog. that Is newsl 1t certainly is news
to me to know Of baby who bites a

The perverslon of appetite which
causes children and adults to eat chalk,
clay, dirt, pencils, doors and pianos,
etc, is known as plea. Plea is not un-
usual among animals. Feather and egg
eating by birds and poultry and wool
eating by sheep are we'll known animal
pleas. Infantophagia is plea of ami
mails and 1t means the eating OF its own
young. African cattle sometimes de-
velop a plea known as oSteophagia (os-
teo: bone; phagia: to eat). They will
eat dried wood. stones, old bones and
even gnaw each others horns. 1t was
shown by DR.. Green and his associates
at a veterinarians research clinic i'll
South Africa that the animals never
practiced osteophagia when the pas
lures were good. 1t was found that the
disease was due to a mineral deficiency,
and was durable by feeding the animals
some phosphorus compound or bran or
bone meal.
Now. there is no doubt that many
cases OF plea in humans is traceable
to deficient diets, just the same as they
are in animals, although occasionally
plea in children will be due TO habit
and imitation OF other children.
