CLEANERS, OVERS
FORCE STOPPACE
Competition, Not Wages
Cause of Strike"

A stoppage affecting nearly all the
cleaning and dyeing establishments in
New York City and northern New
Jersey is now in effect. 1t began
Monday morning. The stoppage,
which was called by the Allied Coun-
Gil of Cleaners and Dyers, is initiated
in order to "reorganize" the industry
rather than to improve the wages and
hours of the workers, according to the
union officials.
The council, which is composed of
three separate unions, has called the
strike for the benefit of the largest
union" of the three, whose member
ship consists entirely Of the owners
of the small retail cleaning and dye
ing shops. These small shops were
losing more and more trade to new
developing chain of dollar cleaners"
Altho the militants IN the remain
ing two workers unions had demand
ed that the union put out demands on
the wages and hours question, their
protests have gone entirely UNDECIDED.
The A. F. of L. officia1dom, who is
maintaining control of the Allied
Council, even went so far as to expel
four workers from the executive
board, and three members of the con-
ference committee who were progress
sive.
The council at present has an agree
ment with several large cleaning and
dyeing plants which do work for the
retail cleaners. The agreement pro-
hibits the workers organizations in
the Allied Council from signing con-
tracts with the large cleaning plants
that cater to the trade of the dollar"
cleaning stores. Workers in the trade
point out that the plants handling
chain store work are very easily or
ganizable but because of the fact that
the retail owners "union" is in con-
troll of the Allied Council, the union
officials refuse to sign up with these
plants because of the strong competi-
ton they offer.
Longer Hours, Less Pay.
Due to the refusal to organize the
"dollar" chain dyeing houses, these
firms are compelling their workers to
work longers hours at less pay. The
membership of the bona-fide work
ers' unions, however, all intend to re-
main out till the stoppage is declared
off.
Hugh Frayne, for the A. F. of L., in
sisted on the granting of charter
affiliating them with the Allied Coun-
Gil thus giving them control over the
workers union. Of $4,000 claimed to.
be out on the stoppage, it is definitely
known that only about 1900 are wage
workers.

Workers in this city and in other
parts of the country are in danger of
being thrown into the capitalist jails,
establishing presidents that will, be
used against the working class in the

which is our chief source of income,
must be supported in every possible
way if we are to continue with the
work of saving our comrades from
