WEAVERS STRIKE
OVER STRETCHOU1
Is Out in Passaic; Try
Spread Strike

PASSAIC, N. j., May Eighteen
weavers of the night shift Of the
Dundee Textile Co., a silk mill en-
ploying about $50 workers, went on
strike last week.
The weavers walked out in protest
against the introduction of two extra
looms. Up till now they have been
working on four looms, for s2.25 per
100000 pick. Now the boss is giving
the weavers six looms, and only SITS
per 100000 pick. This is the third
wage cut in period of two months.
Yesterday the night weavers had a
meeting. A strike COMMITTEES was
elected. They decided to issue q
leaflet in Polish and English appeal
ing to the day weavers to come out
because already the boss is doing the
very same thing with the day shift.
But instead of giving all the weay-
ers six looms at once, he started with
only two women. He did that to
avoid strike of the day shift.
A meeting for all Dundee workers
has been called to take up the ques-
ton of striking for the day shift.
The demands of the night shift
are for four looms at s2.25 per 100000
pick. The National Textile Workers
Union is closely working with the
strikers All leaflets are issued in
the name of the strike committee and
the union.
