NEEDLE TRADES.
FAKE STRIKE"
CUTS BOSTON PAY
Workers Bitter, Turn
to Industrial Union

BOSTON, Mass, March 19.--The
International Ladies' Garm e n
| Workers fake strike here ended yes
terday with the biggest betrayal of
! the workers ever seen in Boston
The real strike, the struggle led by
the Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union, goes on militantly. The
hope of the company unionized /. L.
G. w. leaders and the bosses that
the morale of the real strikers
would break with the announcement
of the fake strike settlement failed
completely.
There is the most intense dis
satisfaction among the swindled
workers against the l. L. G. w. In
Mathews and Kadetsky where the
bosses aided the l. L. G. w, they
were working eight and half
hours yesterday instead of eight as
formerly.
Most shops lost their conditions.
Cloak operators who were getting
$65 per week were told at the end
of the fake strike that now the
maximum is S55 and were told that
new help would be hired below the
scale.
Tomorrow night the industrial
union is calling a mass meeting at
Associated Hall, 995 Washington
St., where prominent speakers from
New York will completely expose
the fake strike and fake settlement.
Yesterdays strike meetings voted
to enlarge the picket demonstra-
lions.
The jobbers have refused to sign
the agreement with the right wing.

FOOD CLERKS
WIN Z STRIKES

A strike was won yesterday by
the Food Clerks Industrial Union at
the Cut Rate Grocery Co., 253 East
169th St. The strike had lasted five
days, and several strikers had been
arrested, but the demands of the
workers were finally complied with.
The strike at J. Fraicin, 354 Utica
Ave, Brooklyn, which lasted one
day, was also settled. The Parkway
Meat Market, at 263 Troy Ave,
Brooklyn, settled up without a
strike.
There is strike on Union Ave,
Miller's Fruit Market, where Steve
Katovis was murdered by one of
Whalen's gunner. Pfcketing has
been going on steadily despite the
cops, and the union will keep up its
militant work.

Richard Brinsley Sheridan's "The
Rivals" is now playing at Changers
Theatre with an all star cast which
includes among others Mrs. Fiske,
James T. Powers, Andrew Mack,
Rollo Peters, Pedro De Cordoba,
John Craig, Margery Maude, Geor-
gette Cohan and George Tawde.
While one would think that such
an excellent cast of players would
turn out one of the most entertain
ing plays of the season, just the
opposite must be reported. One
must remember however that "The
Rivals" was first shown in London
in ITS. The play is Anticipated to
such an extent that it is only of i'm
portance as an example of the eight
zenith century drama. At the same
time here and there a situation ari-
ses in the play that is quite anus
ing. But these parts are rare.
Mrs. Fiske who portrays Mrs.
Malaprop, makes dismal failure of
her performance After the brilliant
performances she gave this season
and last season in MRS. Bumpstead-
Leigh" and Ladies of the Jury"
it is regretable to see her make such
a fizzle of her present role.
Rollo Peters is quite presentable
as the young captain and Miss
Maude iS adequate as his sweetheart.
the best performance of all
is rendered by James z. Powers as
Bob Acres, who is Absolute's rival
for the girls hand. Playing his part
in burlesque fashion Powers does a
great deal in giving some life and
energy to what on whole is
rather shallow production.

CEMENT SEEN
GROWING

Plant capacity and shipments
have increased rapidly in the
cement industry since 1924, &C.
cording to the United States Bu-
reau Of Mines, Department of
Commerce. The increase in ship.
ments became very slow about
1927. and from 1923 there was a
decided decrease. While ship
ments are falling off, plant ca
pacity is steadily increasing, and
there is no indication of any re-
cession in the growth of plant
capacity, the bureau points out.
Minor fluctuations occur in
plant capacity from month to
month, while stocks and ship
ments show marked seasonal fluc-
tuationS which are characteristic
Of the industry. Stocks of cement
in 1880 we're considerably higher
than for the corresponding
months in 1929. Shipments in
1890 show a moderate decrease
from the 1929 figures. Shipments
for the first 10 months Of 1929
total 152,264, 900 barrels and for
1880, 144,272, 900 barrels.
The facts brought out most
forcibly in the bureaus survey
of the situation are: Cd A rapidly
increasing plant capacity with no
indication Of falling off in the
rate Of increase: (2) a moderate
falling off in shipments: 60 a
moderate increase in stocks on
hand; and ~ a pronounced and
steady decrease in price per
BARREL. Future conditions that
may develop as a result of this
combination of circumstances de-
mand the earnest consideration
Of every cement plant operator,
the bureau concludes.
The foregoing facts are brought
out by supplementary tables and
charts which have been made a
part Of the bureaus regular
monthly statement giving cement
statistics for October. Copies Of
the statement may be obtained
upon request addressed to the
Bureau Of Mines.

Motor Company has mapped out

Banks CIosings Do Not Hurt
u. S. Structure, Say Officials

Closing of q large number Of
banking institutions scattered
through Arkansas, Tennessee, Ken
lucky, and other states within
the last few days was held by
Federal officials today as in no
way endangering the national II
nancial structure. although ad-
mittedly serious. in the various
communities.
Few members Of the national
or Federal reserve system were
involved in the situation. Otti-
Gals said that a majority Of the
banks were small institutions
operating under State charter.
They explained that where .
large bank suspends payments It
is an almost invariable rule that
a number of small institutions
close as a precautionary meas.
ure until their exact financial
position may be learned.
Comptroller of the Currency D.
w. Pole had no official comment,
but he is considering the iSSu-
ance of q formal statement Of
reassuring character. Federal Re
serve officials likewise were ST.
lent, but it was understood that
resources of the system were
available should an effort be nee
essary to check any serious
spread of the epidemic Of closing.
Officials said that the national
and reserve system are in a very
sound position.
This was indicated by recent
statements of condition, showing
enormous resources, reserves and
deposits. The :rop in stock mar
ket values probably has not af-
fected the importent banks Sc
riously, since hey will be able
to carry the securities on hand
