Is PER CENT CUT
MENACES WATERS
"F onward" Supports
Bosses Association

NEW YORK. - The restaurant
owners of greater New York have
formed an association to cut wages,
and with the yellow Socialist Jew
ish Daily Forward" supporting the
association, have served notice of a
25 per cent slash. The association
has broken the contract with Local
/, of the A. F. of L. walters union,
and is preparing a lockout for 1000
workers.
At the Central Trades and Labor
Council meeting Thursday night, the
delegate of Local l told these facts.
He pointed out that when the
Greater New York Restaurant Own
ers Association was formed at a
meeting in Mecca Temple about a
month ago, Mr.. Schaeffer the La
Dor Editor" of the Forward wrote
such glowing and enthusiastic &C
count of the new association that
only protest from Local got it
little modified, and the delegate
stated that the Forward still sup
ports the bosses association even
now when the wage cutting program
is openly decreed.
The association finally broke off
lengthy negotiations with the Off
Gals of Local day or so ago
The walters delegates only pro-
posal to the Central Trades was that
all union men should see that the
waiter who serves them has union
button on his coat.
AS soon as he said that, the Uni
ted Garment Workers delegate got
up and declared that the union but
ton should be on coat with a union
label in it. (The U. G. w is a
union" without membership which
makes racket of selling the labels.
Then the A. F. Of L. Laundry
Workers delegate rose, and declared
in imprisoned terms that the label
must be printed with laundry ink.
And in this comedy of buttons and
labels, the fact that some 1000 york.
ers are going to get 25 per cent
wage cut was entirely overlooked.
These workers should take things
in their own hands, elect their rank
and file strike committee, and get
ready for a terrific struggle.

NEW YORK.-Statements we're Is
sued last night by the Trade Union
Unity League and the International
Labor Defense in support of the plan
for National Youth Day on May 30
and 81. The statement by the T. U.
U. L. declares:
The call for the first National
Youth Day in this country should
receive the support of all young
workers. The young workers in in
dustry. hard hit by the crisis, are
beginning to look more and more
towards revolutionary leadership in
the struggle against the bosses.
Over million young workers out
Of work, and millions more working
under speed-up systems are the "op-
portunities" offered to the American
youth. But the young workers are
beginning to resist the drive of the
capitalist class on their standards of
living. Proof of this lies in the
leading part that they have and are
playing in many of the strikes that
are breaking out in answer to the
e-cutting policy of the bosses. d,
The Trade Union Unity League
supports the call for a National
Youth Day as day of mobilization
of the working youth for struggle
for unemployment relief and insur-
ance, and against wage-cuts.
The national office of the I. L. D.
issued the following statement:
The International Labor Defense
heartily endorses the plan for a Ma
tional Youth Day to be held on May
80 and 81. These days must be days
of mobilization of young workers Tor
struggle against the bosses terror.
The legal murder of the nine Ne
gro youths in Scottsboro, which is
now being prepared by the ruling
class, must arouse the indignation
and protest of every young worker
National Youth Day must serve the
purpose of making known to the
youth of this country the meaning
of the Scottsboro case, and organiz-
ing them to save the nine boys.
AS a result of the National Youth
Day, the Young Defender branches
of the I. L. D. must be built among
the young workers, to mobilize them
for the defense of the many young
class-war prisoners.

Middle Village
Bread Strike Won
Mass Picketing and
Courage Does 1t

NEW YORK.-The bread strike
in Middle Village has been won.
Wednesday night the bakeries still
holding out came to terms.
Gershberg of Morton Ave. agrees
to sell rolls at 7 cents below the
previous price per dozen, bread at 2
cents below, and white twists at 8
cents lower.
The other two bakeries cut gro
ceries 5 cents, and reduce bread and
white twists as above.
In the fight for lower bread prices,
the Council of Working Glass Wom-
en-, victors in the recent meat strike,
led. They were joined by Branch
46 of the International Workers
Order. Both organizations sent
pickets from a. m, to p. m. and
there were mass picketing demon
STATIONS amounting in several cases
to 1000 to 1900, mostly housewives.
Attacks on Women.
The boss bakers used violence, one
worker, Sara Lefkowitz, being beaten
by a bosses wife at the Whaynne
and Griffith Ave, bakery.
Two were arrested. A committee
of IA who brought the demands were
trapped behind closed doors and
beaten up.
The A. F. L. officials put out
propaganda for the bakery owners,
by claiming that lower prices would
mean lower wages. The working
class women we're able, however, to
prove to the satisfaction of the
workers that this was not so, and
that there was nothing but the strike
kept the bakery owners from charg-
ing high for bread already made at
low wages.
