merly kept the cleaning store in the
Cooperative Houses, 2700 Bronx
Park East, has been forced to move
out from the Cooperative. This
fellow has now opened another store
in the neighborhood and has started
fight against the Cooperative
Cleaning Store. He is trying the
old method of competition.
He tries to kill the Cooperative
store by doing the work cheaper, but
he does not intend to lose any money
by this. Instead he intends to make
the worker employed in the store pay
for this. Formerly this worker used
to get Is cents for a suit and the
same for pressing dress. Now he
decided to cut this workers wages
down to 10 cents for suit and
dress.
