BOSSES BRIBE THE
CLEANERS CLIQUE
Effrat Gang Orders Expulsions For
All Workers Who Refuse to Sign

The Effrat machine in the Clean
ers G. Dyers union has promised the
bosses to force the drivers to sign
individual contracts. This would
mean that each driver is tied to the
shop, and that if he is forced out of
the job he cannot work anymore in
the trade, at least not in the same
territory.
The contract stipulates also that
should the bosses decide to raise the
price of cleaning garment from
the present 35 cents to 40 cents, any
driver who will not be able to keep
up the price will be fired or his
commission reduced from 10 per
cent to 5 per cent, cut of almost
so per cent in wages.
According to a statement of some
bosses, conference was held last
Friday where it was decided that
unless Effrat forces the drivers to
sign individual contracts, the agree
ment, which is supposed to be in
force since April. but in reality is
not signed yet, will be void. This
will mean that there will be no
agreement, and that the check off
system will not bring in any money
to the union grafters.
Open Bribery
But if Effrat succeeds in forcing
the drivers to sign the contracts,
there is a fund of $4,000 for him,
each boss giving $500, beside the
regular check off.
The Effrat gang has sent notices
to the drivers that they must sign,
and has threatened expulsion and
loss of job. So far the drivers
refuse to sign the agreement. The
inside workers also refuse to pay
dues to the union, because of the
cut of four holidays contained in
the agreement, and the general
wage cutting campaign going on
with the connivance of the union Of
ficials.
The Cleaners & Dyers section of
the Trade Union Unity League, Is
w. 18th St., calls upon all drivers
and inside workers to refuse to pay
dues to the agents of the bosses, to
refuse to sign individual CONTRACTS,
to organize shop committees in every
shop, to defy the bosses and their
agents, and not to permit them to
fire anyone.

cold and New" the new Eisen-

premiere at the Cameo Theatre next
Friday.
This film was previously known
as "The General Line" and is the
directorial work of S. M. Eisenstein,
known here for his earlier films,
"Potemkin" and "Ten Days That
Shook the World" Associated with
Eisenstein in the direction was G.
w. Alexandrov and the photography
was by Edouard Tisse.
The Amkino, representing in the
United States the Soviet film in
dustry, and the organization releas-
ing the film, announced that the
National Board of Review of Motion
Pictures has selected "Old and
New" as an exceptional motion
picture" Eisenstein's previous films
were also so honored by the board.
The film is especially interesting
now as it deals with the subject of
collective farming" a topic which
has attracted so much attention in
connection with news from Soviet
Russia. The film is as unique as
the other Eisenstein efforts and its
pioneering aspects are assured by
the description from Moscow which
declares that the stars of the film
are "a cream separator, a bull and
a tractor"
