either an attempt to build a company
union in the Atlantic 81 Pacific Tea

Workers Industrial Union has is
sued the following statement urging
shop organization.
THE continual cutting of our
wages and the Vorsening of the
working conditions in the suitcase
and bag shops makes it necessary for
the workers to organize. There is
no possible way to stop the attacks
Of the bosses against the workers un-
less we put up a resistance in the
form of militant organization"
THE suitcase and bagmakers have
made some progress In the last few
weeks not only organizationa]ly, but
In more than one instance wage-cuts
have been stopped, which proves that
only II we are organized will we be
able to protect our interests. Never
theless we are still too far from the
aims that we set out for, namely the
organisation OF all the suitcase and
baginakers into the ranks of the
Shoe and Leather Workers Indus

Starving War Vet
Attempts Suicide
on Union Square

NEW YORK.-Edward Dening, a
veteran of the world war, driven
desperate by starvation, attempted to
kill himself yesterday in the park at
Union Square and was saved only
through the efforts of his fellow
workers who were nearby at the
time.
Failing in an attempt to leap from
the statue of George Washington, at
the south end of the park, Deming
made an effort to plunge knife
into his heart, but was restrained
from doing so by a group of unem-
ployed workers who were standing
near the statue. Deming collapsed
and the ambulance was called, which
took him to Bellevue Hospital. The
worker had papers in his pocket
proving that he was an ex-service-
man and stated to the ambulance
nurse that he had no eaten in four
days.

AFL FOR HIGH
BREAD PRICES
Attacks Women Who
Fight to Cut Cost

NEW YORK.-The United Council
of Working Glass Women and the
Rank and File Committee of Coney
Island are preparing struggle for
lower bread prices, struggle which
the Auxiliary Branch 696 Of theWoqk-
mems Circle made a gesture ut and
then deserted. And the A. F. l.. and
United Hebrew Trades Local sos of
the International Bakers Union has
identified itself completely with the
bakery bosses and is fighting against
cheaper prices.
The Workmen's Circle called q
meeting to protest high prices OF
bread" on Nov. S. The Working
Glass Women and rank and fllers
came down and proposed real action,
a bread strike. The Workingmen's
Circle leaders quit in disgust, saying,
IF you want to run your strike, go
ahead and do it,"
Whereupon the women began is
suing leaflets and organizing, for an
open air meeting Nov. Is.
A. r. L. Protects Bosses.
Then Bakers Local sos, which
never said word when the Work
mems Circle was calling meetings,
came out with a leaflet calling those
demanding cheaper bread, "enenies",
and declaring:
"These enemies are trying to des-
troy the bakers union by shouting
that the public should demand
cheaper bread, and that the bakery
workers are responsible for the high
price of bread and also for all other
troubles that we are now going thru"
This is a lie, for the Working Glass
Women made it very clear that they
would not consent to any reduction
of bakery workers wages.
Then the A. F. L. leaflet talks about
its members being on half week work,
and still maintaining union condi-
tons. And that is another lie, for
the bakers used to get $3.50 for an
eight hour day, and now put In UP
to IA hours for the same wage.
Then the A. F. L. leaflet urges vio-
lenee against those demanding bread
prices be cut, as follows: I'VE there
fore appeal to you that you should
do the following: "a Chase away
from your ranks those enemies that
are trying to destroy U.s."
