Move to Tie Up Whole

Draw Up Demands

NEW YORK.-TWo more cafeterias
Of the Foltis-Fisher chain struck yes
Jerday, making a total of six now on
strike, and with events moving rap
idly toward general strike in the
whole chain Of 20 restaurants in New
York.
The new strikes are at SIND ST. and
Sixth Ave, and at seth st. and Lex
ington Ave. The strike started Mon
day. at 43rd ST., over the cutting of
wages in violation of the promise of
the company secured during a dem
onstration of hundreds of workers
some days before
The movement has spread beyond
its original demands, however. Yes
terday the strike committees elected
ri all the struck shops met at the Of
flee of the Food Workers Industrial
Union, which fully supports the strike
and TO which many Of the workers
belong, and worked out demands as
follows:
1. Reinstatement of all laid-off
workers.
2. Flat rs per cent wage increase.
3. Return to the workers of all
money paid to the company on shares
of Foltis Fisher stock.
4. No discrimination against any
one for union membership.
5. Recognition of shop committees.
6. Ten hour day for all FoltiS-
Fisher workers.
The third demand is because for
some time FoltiS-Fisher has been
forcing the workers to pay about 50 q
week for purchase of stock in the
company. They do not actually get
the stock, since the company has
gone into one Of those convenient
"receiverships. But the money for
the stock is taken from the workers
just the same, and some have lost
5000 to $500 this way.
The demands as outlined by the
strike committee are proposed to the
F'oltis-Fisher workers, both strikers
and those in shops that have not
struck yet, for discussion at shop
meetings. All are urged to hold
meetings, to discuss the demands, and
those not striking should elect their
strike committees and join the strike
make it general walk out!
Police and detectives are thick in
both struck shops and shops not yet
out. Committees approaching Foltis-
Fisher cafeterias not yet on strike
were attacked. Four committee mem
bers have been arrested.

BUCHAREST, Feb 16.-Fierce COL
lisions took place here yesterday
when the government ordered its
troops to dislodge the 1000 striking
railroad workers who barricaded
themselves in the Government rail-
way shops several days ago. The
workers answered with rifle fire and
by sending an electric current
through q wire baricade they had
erected. The troops were repulsed.
A major of the Roumanian army
was badly wounded.
"a Persons Wounded
Twenty-four persons were wounded,
including fourteen women, when

and rifle butts against large crowd
of sympathtic workers trying to take
food to the barricaded strikers. Many
unemployed workers tried to break
through the military Gordon to re-
inforce the strikers.

raids by police and military last
night. The raids were carried out
under the state of siege ordered

Premier Voivod declared:
The whole country Is surrounded

ton whereby our fate will be
