entire crew here halted from work,
but the chief contractor for Wolf

a sympathy strike.
At a shop meeting Wednesday,
the workers in Harrison and Son,
doing contract work for Wolf and
Opper, voted to join the strike be-
ginning picketing yesterday morn
ing.
A committee of strikers was
elected who Investigated whether
there were any other shops doing
work for Wolf and Opper and, dis
covering that the Bilsky Silk Co.
acted in this capacity, called shop
meeting of workers there. 1t is al
most certain that a strike will be
declared here too.
Two workers Of Wolf and Opper
joined the N. 7. W., not willing to
wait till after the strike. The work
ers here, all formerly members of
the Associated, decided to take up
changing union adherance after the

The demonstration was arranged
by the All-America Anti-Imperialist
League, the International Labor

the workers turned out for the
demonstration and began picketing
