A week ago, during a rehearsal

fould not be given a diploma and
Pnsequently would not be able to

Following this, RADIO called Leo

cided that the contractors answer
meant that they were not getting
their five-day week and walked off
the job in a body.
Great interest is developing in
this same question on dozens of
other electrical jobs and further
strikes are momentarily expected.
Restraining Order.
The temporary injunction, pro-
hibiting with the Sublime equality
of the law" the electrical workers
from securing five-day week from
their employers and the electrical
employers from granting the five
day week, has been secured by other
employers in the building trades. A
restraining order was granted by
Supreme Court Justice Aaron j.
Levy on application by Walter S.
Faddis, president of the Building
Trades Employers Association. 1t
is an order restraining the cleo
trical employers from granting any
f:ve-day week, or the raise in wages
which was part of the contract be-
tween the Electrical Workers Union
and the electrical employers. The
injunction is made returnable in
Part 1, Special Term, Supreme
Court, Tuesday morning. The ap-
plication charges conspiracy" to
grant the five-day week.
Result of Secret Deal.
This is the latest result of secret
negotiations conducted by Breach
with the new administration in the
Electrical Contractors Association,
officials friendly to Breach. Breach
has followed a policy of favoring
certain contractors, the largest and
the ones most likely to obtain a
monopoly of the whole field, and
justifies his actions on the grounds
that he gets better terms this way
from the employers.
In obtaining the present contract,
Breach left out of the bargain the
other building trades unions, also
asking for the five-day week with
increase in pay. The Building Trades
Council was being forced by rank
and file pressure to demand such a
change. At a critica! moment,
Breach made his own contract and
dropped out of the general struggle.
Progressives Say Fight"
The progressive group IN the
union condemned this abandonment
of the other unions, and called on
the members Of all building trades
unions to force through the five-day
week in the whole industry. The
progressives think that Breach may
have known Of the injunction plan,
and that his whole scheme was in
tended all along for political effect
only, within his own union.
The progressives now point out
that the Breach plan of negotiations
and secret deals does not provide
for what is now forced upon the
whole industry, the necessity for a
militant struggle to get the five
day week. They say that the Breach
leadership will incline to legalistic
bubbles, letting the strategic mo-
ment go by for open struggle, and
they call on all workers to follow
the lead of the workers striking
now. Now is the time to get the
five-day week, and the method is
not negotiation but struggle.

HONOR PEDESTRIAN
IN new TRAFFIC PLAN
Specialized Highways Looking
Toward Safety Advocated in
New York District.

NEW YORK (P).-Pedestrian rights,
long neglected in traffic planning, will
be honored in newly proposed city
highways.
Specialized highways, some patterned
for the motorist to insure adequate
speed lanes and some planned espe-
cially for the pedestrians protection,
are advocated by the regional plan Of
New York and environs.
Following survey of the best means
of developing and protecting residential
neighborhoods, the organization serving
the States of New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut proposes increased
specialization of highways and refor-
mutation of traffic ideals and stand
ards.
It proposes express highways, wide
arterials fitted for high speed traffic,
which would cut residential areas into
small islands. In these spots would
be a maze of streets for low-speed
traffic, lanes so fashioned that speed
would be impossible and safety Of the
pedestrian the primary factor.
by some Sociologists the automo-
bile has been regarded as destroyer
of neighborhood life" the organization
reported. Now, curiously enough, it
is setting up process in city PLAN
ming which seems likely to produce
exactly the opposite effect"
