Invasion of Capital By FveCent Baltimore Loaf Arouses
Union Bakers and Focuses Attention on Whole Ques-

Profits.

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-Inva-
sion of Washington by scent loaf
of bread baked in Baltimore and
trucked to this city has aroused the
union bakery workers Of this city and
brought to the front the whole ques-
ton of bakery working conditions,
wages and profits.
The Scent loaf brought here this
week is baked in non-union bakeries
owned by the Great Atlantic and
Pacific Tea Co. stores in Baltimore,
and is being sold in A. & P. stores
here. 1t is thrown into competition
with the 1O-cent loaf baked in union
bakeries in this city. Washington
bakeries are we'll organized and all of
the major plants pay the union scale
and operate on the union eight-hour
day.
The union scale in Washington is
81 an hour for day work and $l.2O an
hour for night work. The minimum
per week is $48.
A. & P. Bakery Non Union

Bakery Workers Local Union No.

P. bakery in Baltimore is thoroughly
non-union, works "any hours IL
or IL day, and on Fridays as high
as Is, II and Is hours, with wages
ranging from $12 to $28 week.
Invasion by the non-union nickel
loaf was indirectly brought about by
the Capper bread inquiry in the SEN
ate. The A. & P. representative was
asked about the company's Philadei-
phia bakery, responding that it truck

was then asked why the company's

PHILY POLICE
Set Out to Smash Hosiery
Mill Strike

Philadelphia (ILNS)-The police of
Philadelphia have fatty set out to
break the strike in the non-union full
fashioned mills in Philadelphia. Ma
jor Schofeld, director of public safe
ty, called in leaders of the hosiery
workers organization, officers of the
Central Labor Union, and in the
presence of two attorneys declared
that he was going to use the power
of the police to smash the strike.
The major stated that he considered
it crime to have strike at the pres
ent time, and proposed to halt all
picketing at once, prevent all demon
strations, speeches, literature, distri-
button and protests of every kind.
He also threatened to imprison all
union leaders in their homes.
Following this declaration over $50
arrests of pickets, mostly girls, took
place at the mills here Most of the
arrests were made at the Apex mill,
the largest non-union plant in the
city. Three more non-union mills have
joined the strike 100 per cent.
More than $500 workers are now
on strike in over 80 mills.
The officers of the Philadelphia no.
siery workers union met with their
international officers and the officers
of the Philadelphia Textile Workers
District Council and other organiza-
tions and the Civil Liberties Union.
1t was decided to endorse whatever
those actually in conduct of the strike
decided on. Speaking for the hosiery
workers President Emil Rieve stated
that the union would go right ahead,
confident that it was within its legal
right. "We will not modify our pol
icies because of these amazing threats
and the outrageous and illegal whole
sale arrests. The girls are being
charged with disorderly conduct for
picketing and the spirit of the strik-
ers is wonderful"

Non Union Hosiery Workers
In Big Philadelphia Strike
Call for General WakOut Meets Enthusiastic Response
and Over Two Thousand ToiIers Out in Battle
Against Exploitaton-Union Fighting for Con-
trOlled Production.

Philadelphia (ILNS)-More than
1000 workers in some 25 or 80 non
union full fashioned hosiery mills re-
sponded to a general strike called by
the Philadelphia branch of the Amer
lean Federation of Full Fashioned
Hosiery Workers. Outside the city
limits, two suburban plants employ
ing total of over 400 workers walk
ed out The blue Moon" mill in
Croydon, Pa, and the Bethayres
Knitting Mills in Bethayres struck
100 per cent.
Record breaking demonstrations
took place at the Apex mill in Phila-
delphia, which employs some 1000
persons and is the largest non-union
plant in the city. After having work
ed intermittently for some months,
this shop suddenly announced it would
go on full time.
The Quaker, the second largest non
union shop in the city, closed down to
forestall a walkout Several nom
union shops did not open in the hope
of avoiding being drawn into the con-
flict.
Exploited Workers to Fight
Healthy strike situations have de-
veloped in whole group of mills such
as the Cambria, where the union
waged a bitter strike, but which
plants were filled up with strikebreak-
ers in the course of several months.
These workers have been exploited so
mericlessly since the depression came
along that they are desperate and
are going to fight.
The arrests on the first day of the
strike amounted to about Is in all, a
surprisingly small group, considering
the excitement which prevailed. Po-
lice pick up strikers wherever they
think they can break up picket line

brutality has been considerably re

The clubbing on that occasion caused
such a bad reaction that the bulls"
have pulled in their horns bit.
"This is strike for controlled pro-
duction and we are now confident that
we are going to achieve our purpose
in great part if not completely" de-
clares President Alexander McKeown,
president of the Philadelphia branch
of the hosiery workers organization.
Output Not Regulated

ulate their production with the result
that we have a record breaking sur
plus of goods and a practically stable
demand for silk stockings" McKeown
continued. INSTEAD of making an eff
fort to meet their problem in a
rational manner the employers just
cut wages and prices. This policy of
course merely makes what is already
a mess a whole lot worse. The union

CHIcdSo t1LNoJ-W age cutting Dy
"open shop" corporations in the Chi
cago area was deplored by John Fitz-
patrick, president of the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor, in statement made
to international Labro News Service
Victims of wage cutting by open
shop employers have made COM
plants to the Chicago Federation of
Labor, but we can do little about it
except to make the facts public" he
said. "The unions have their hands
full taking care of their unemployed
members, and cannot of course give
relief to or act in behalf of those wage
earners who have neglected to take
advantage of their opportunities to
join a union of their crafts during
prosperous times.
"We deeply sympathize with many
not members of organized labor.
Many of them of course are the vic
tins of their own folly in failing to
become members of the unions when
they had the chance. However, it is
reasonably sure that large majority
are from those industries which have
successfully resisted effort to per-
suade or compel them to recognize
the right of collective bargaining.
Unions Maintain Pay Levels
''The trade unions of Chicago have
not been unmindful of the promises
made by industrial and business lead
ers and by the officers of organized
labor at the conferences held at the
White House several months ago. The
Chicago unions have endeavored in
every way to maintain the status quo.
Generally speaking, our efforts
have been to preserve the wage
scales, hours of work and working
present depression. Union employers
have given us cooperation to that
end, but the wage slashing of "open
shop employers, many of whom were
obligated by promises made by their
representatives at the white house
conferences, is causing unrest and
dissatisfaction that may lead to fu-
ture difficulties. There is reason to
believe that that is the ultimate OBJ
ject of those who are in a position
to enforce the agreements made at
the white house conferences, but who
now are either tacitly agreeing to or
actively engaged in surreptitious
wage slashing and efforts to sabotage
the trade union structure.
Union Employers Praised
'On the whole the union employers
with whom the Chicago trade unions
have had contractural relations for
many years have displayed a fine
spirit throughout these trying times.
Recently there has been some unrest
on the part Of few of the union en-
ployers, but not of dangerous char
acter thus far.
Zone union employers organization
has made complaint over unfair COM
petition and limited that a reduction
in the wage scale would be accept

will be forced. The union employers

markably well during prosperous
times, many of them going from moth

sees no reason why the employment,
which can be given to a large number
of the unemployed, should be rejected
because work cannot be found for all.
"If the two millions or even more
people could be saved the misery of
unemployment it would be SO tre
mendous a success that it would be
worth some initial trouble"
Other Employers Fight Plan
In their report the firm called atten-
tion to the fact that most employers
have declared open war on them for
instituting the scheme. The man.
aging director of one employers as
sociation declared that "it is a pity
that people who discuss such ideas
should not be put under watch and
ward"
Herr Wissell concludes his report
with a declaration that only the per-
manent shortening of working hours
can solve the difficulties confronting
industry.

A report on the scheme by Rudolf

the results of which were described
by the firm itself as highly satisfac-
tory.
The firm arranged with the works
council, representing the employees, to
shorten the working day from eight
to six hours, and thus made room for
$50 unemployed.
Additional Burden Small
"The concern is, of course, obliged
to enter larger sums for social serv-

extra amount does not come to / per

Aid Russian People, Is Appeal
''You have always been true to the
great principles of honor, equality
and liberty You can not stretch out
your hand to a despot who is, tram
ping these principles under his feet.
"That is why the Russian people,
who are suffering SO acutely, turn
their eyes to the citizens of a great
free country in the hope that your
country will not hinder the Russian
people in their fight for freedom
against their tyrants.
Remember that everyone who buys
the products of slaves in Russia, who
mistakes the communist power for the
true Russian government, and who
grants financial aid to it, supports
the communist government at mo-
ment when it is on the point of break
ing down.

emily the coming of the Scent loaf
this week is an answer to that in
quiry, particularly since Senator Cap
per is quoted in the company's ad-
vertisement. The question of the A.
& P. bakery's employment and wage
policy was not raised in the senate
hearing.
1t is pointed out by the union that
the nickel loaf, regardless of whether
it shows a profit or loss to the COM
pany, is the product of workers who
are unduly exploited by a coast-to-
coast corporation which steadily
turns profit to its stockholders from
it's manifold operations and that it
has seized upon an opportunity in
this city to make bread an issue, while
the question of profits on various
other lines is kept as dark as usual.
Price of Wheat in Cereals High
1t is pointed out that even at a
dime the price of wheat in bread is
low as compared to the price of wheat
in cereals, some of which cost the con-
sumer as high as 45 cents pound.
Business Agent Geiger declares
that the bread output per man en-
ployed in bakeries here is higher than
in any other city within wide radius
of Washington. Any effort to make
it appear that the nickel loaf is made
possible by reduction of wages, he
holds, will be unsuccessful because it
is not yet shown that the nickel loaf
will pay for itself. But regardless
of the so-called labor cost, the fact is,
he points out, that the nickel loaf is
the product of plant in which mis-
cradle wages are paid, in which long
hours are worked and in which en-
ployes have no voice as to their work
ing conditions.
