FISHKIN WORKERS.
Freedman Bros. Shop
Out On Strike

Workers of the Freedman Bros.
shop at 70 Fifth Ave, leather coat
manufacturers, yesterday walked out
on strike against 20 per cent wage
cut and the discharge of several
workers. The strikers not only de-
mand the resembling of the wage cut,
the reinstatement of the discharged
workers but also union recognition.
When the wage cut was first put
into effect members Of the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers working in
the shop asked business agent Kol-
nick what they were to do about 1t.
Kolnick advised them to accept the
cut. The majority Of the workers,
however, would not hear Of accepting
the cut and decided to strike to main
tain their wages.
At shop meeting committees for
the conduct of the strike were or
gained. The strike committee ap-
pealed to all clothing workers to help
them in the strike and to refuse to
accept jobs in the shop if the A.C.W.
bureaucrats would try to break the
strike for the employers.
Black Hiilman Betrayal.
One of the most brutal betrayals
in the long list of betrayals of the
Hillman bureaucracy occurred when
one hundred workers, many with
large families to support, were
thrown out of the Fishkin shop after
Hillman had concluded an agreement
with the bosses. The workers of this
shop came out on strike at Hillman's
call to force six cutters, formerly OF
the Orlofsky group, into the Amalga-
mated. Ironically enough the sis
cutters, by the terms reached by Hill
man will remain in the shop TO cur
the goods to be sent out of town K
be worked up.
The former Fishkin workers held
meeting and decided to organize
committee to carry on a struggle foI
immediate aid and work. The COM
mittee called on the workers to NEE
at the Amalgamated Labor Bureau
Saturday morning to place their de
mands for jobs and relief before thu
officials.

Youths Are Caught Twice
in One Hour.

Career of petty crime, ranging
from watermelon thefts to an at
tempt to steal bread and doughnuts,
that was packed in two hectic hours,
ended suddenly early today for five
west side youths who are held in
jail.
The youths first were arrested by
Deputy SheriffS Gilbert Thomas and
Howard Skaggs in the watermelon
patch of Jacob Hahn, 4710 Rockville

Hahn declined to prosecute, so
deputies questioned and later re-
leased them.
An hour later the youths were
seen attempting to pry open a
bread box outside a Kroger grocery
Alton and Michigan streets, and
were rearreSted.
The theft suspects, charged with
vagrancy, are Michael Sackel, 10,

U. S. DRY CHIEF
ORDERS PROBE
OF WORT MALT
Charges Product Is Widely
Used in Making of
Beer.

By Scripps-Hofcard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Dis-
turbed by reports that the country
is being flooded with beer made
from wort, a malt product manu-
featured in Detroit, Prohibition Di-
rector Amos w. Woodcock has be-
gun a thorough inquiry.
Woodcock has ordered William
N. Woodruff, administrator for the
sixth prohibition district with head
quarters at Cincinnati, to inveSti-
gate possible law violations.
Information has reached prohibi-
ton headquarters that twenty-five
plants are making wort in the De-
troit area alone in quantities Suffl-
Gent to produce more than 5000
barrels of beer daily if used for that
purpose.
The problem is to prove that the
manufacturers or their agents
know their product is to be used in
making beer, as wort has a legiti-
mate use in the baking industry.
The complaints which caused
Director Woodcock to act came
from a brewer, apparently disturbed
by the inroadS of wort on his sales
of near beer.
wort itself is not an illegal pro-
duct, but by the addition of yeast it
is made into beer" said Woodcock.
I'm order to obtain a conviction
against manufacturers or agents
handling wort it will be necessary
to show that it was being sold to
be used in the manufacture of
beer"
1.-THE situation presents d problem
that we will have to solve-not as
serious a problem as making liquor,
but one that can not be overlooked. -
he said.
Woodcock said that in the past
several attempts have been made by
the government to obtain convic-
tons against manufacturers of
wort. All resulted in failure, he
said, because the government was
unable to convince juries that the
product was sold for an illegal pur-
pose.
Syndicates are known to be OPP
Grating in many large cities not
only selling the wort, but even as
sisting in turning it into beer.
