MASS PICKET
SHIRT FACTORY
200 Paterson Strikers
Find Cops for ALL.

PATERSON, N. j., Dec. l5.-The
200 ironers and starchers who struck
against wage cuts and lay-offs over
three weeks ago in the Manhattan
Shirt factory here, have now affi-
lated withthe Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union and mass picketing
has begun. There were two picket
lines yesterday and picketing started
again full force this morning.
Today the police called aside MI
chael Kauker, one of the strike lead
ers, and the sergeant advised him
emphatically to "have all these men
join the A. F. L. union"
Kauker told the police the strikers
had joined the Needle Trades Work
ers Industrial Union and would stick
to it, and were not asking the police
for advice about how to organize.
When Kauker reported this incident
to the meeting later in the day of
practically all the strikers, they de-
nounced the police and pointed out
that police support for the A. F. of
L. shows it is not for the workers.
The strikers are holding mass
meeting to which are invited all
operators, cutters, shipping clerks and
other trades, Thursday, 1880 p. m. in
Lithuanian Hall, Lafayette and Ridge
Streets Paterson. They are making
every effort to spread the strike to
the other departments in the Pater-
son factory, and to other factories of
the same company. There are around
600 men employed in all departments
of the Paterson shop.
