Voltaire is said to have referred to the
Book of Ruth as "the sweetest gem in

Iron Workers Strike
In Long Island Now
In Its Fourth Week

The strike of the workers of the
Garman Iron Works in Long Island
City conducted by the Iron and
Bronze Workers Union against the
introduction of open shop conditions
has now entered into its fourth week
with the picketing of the shop still
going strong.
The workers went out on strike
January 25, when the owner of the
iron works began systematic intro
duction of non-union conditions by
firing some of the union workers and
bringing in non-union men in their
places. Three weeks before the strike
began Garman reduced his force
from Is to 10 workers. He then de-
manded that the remaining workers
accept an increase in hours from A
to AZ a week and a reduction of
wages from $38 or $40 week to $35.
The workers picketing the shop
have expressed determination to
offer a solid front against Garnlan

as man is discharged, the workers
said, he Immediately reports to the
employment office to be rehired at a
lower rate-unless somebody gets
the job before he gets there.
The workers in these factories are
beginning to realize the need for or
ganization.
"There are workers of Italian,
Greek, Russian and German descent
in the factories and it is very hard
for us to talk together" one worker
said, "but we know that the only
thing for us to do is organize and
work together to make the bosses
give US more money and better work
ing conditions"
In the Uneeda and Nabisco fac
tories, he said, there are many Amer
ican-born workers.
When they are hired workers are
paid $14 a week and are raised 80
cents or a dollar from time to time,
| if they stay long enough without be-
ing fired or rehired at a low rate
after they have been raised.

EXPECT DELAY OF
|. R. 7. INJUNCTION

Postponement of the city injunc-
ton case against the marlborough
Rapid Transit Company which is due
to come up before Justice Glennon
this morning was foreshadowed yes
terday by Samuel Untermyer, special
counsel for the Transit Commission.
All possibility of action by the city
in this case had been excluded until
Saturday afternoon when Untermyer
and city officials secured from Judge
Francis A. Winslow permission to
continue with their case. Judge
Winslow had earlier issued the fed
eral injunction by which the Inter
borough has been able to tie the
hands of the city.
|. r. T. Has Advantage.
The permission granted by Judge
Winslow was merely verbal in form.
It does not offset the advantage
which the Interborough has obtained
over the city in the legal adventures
which are now taking place. Under
the existing situation the city injunc-
ton will hold until tomorrow at
which time Judge Wnslow's decision
on his order will be argued. If his
order is continued, as now seems
likely, the city will be restrained
from all action against the |. R. T
Announce Drive.
While the fight over "the great
fare steal" as it has been named, is
going on, union officials are announc-
ing a great organization drive to join
up all the traction workers. This an
nouncement has been made on a num-
Der of previous occasions. No new
plans are indicated as to how this
is to be accomplished. William B

ters "held out the olive branch OF

Rough Stuff" Quackenbush did
not exactly reply in the spirit of the
peace offer. He stated that he was
willing to bury the hatchet-in the
head of the union officials. Specifi-
cally, he said that he would fight for
the reversal of the recent decision
denying an injunction against the
union and limited that any worker
joining the union would be discharged
