CLEANERS QUIT
WINDOWS 1907
Whalen Offers Police
to Break Strike

"Never in the history of the union
have we received such unanimous
response to the strike CALI Harry
Feinstein, secretary of the Window
Cleaners Union, Local 8, said yes
terday in commenting on the 100
per cent effective strike Of the 1000
window cleaners.
They are demanding the 40-hour,
5-day week; increased minimum
wage from $45 to $49.50 week;
proper safety devices; adequate COM
pensation insurance and equal divi-
sion of work in slack periods. Thirty
independent companies have accept
ed these demands, Feinstein reports.
Other employers, organized in the
Manhattan Window Cleaning EN-
ployers' Protective Association, have
rejected them.
Whalen Provides Police Thugs.
Police Chief Whalen Immediately
rushed to the aid of the employers
by offering 100 police to protect
non-union window cleaners employed
to replace strikers"
More uniformed strikebreakers
would undoubtedly be added to that
number if 1900 of them were not
already helping to break the oil
truckmen's strike.
The strike began yesterday morn
ing after the call had been unani-
mously endorsed by vote at a mass
meeting at Manhattan Lyceum, &C
E. Fourth st.
More than 200 employers, union
and scab shops are hit, Feinstein de-
clares. Victories included in these
is the R. H. Macy and Company
notorious for it's thousands of under
paid workers.
Victories for militant union or
ganization are registered by the
large number of former open shop
workers enrolling with the union.
"If the bosses hope to meet their
contracts with the aid of scabs," )"
Feinstein said yesterday, they'll be
disappointed"
