Workers of Adelphia
L'ndry Out on Strike

NEW YORK-Workers of the
Adelphia Laundry, $50 West 53rd
Street, when on strike last week
against low pay, long hours, abuse,
discrimination and the firing of
three members of the Laundry
Workers Industrial Union.
The bosses, with the aid of the
police, Immediately started to ter
rorize and intimidate the strikers.
However, their attempts to chase
the pickets from the laundry were
met with stubborn resistance.
A good deal of the laundry's
business comes from Columbia Uni
versity and the chain of Silver's
cafeterias. The Laundry Workers
Industrial Union calls upon the Col
umbia students to see to it that
service from the striking laundry
be discontinued until the concern
settles with the union and rein
states the fired men. All patrons of
Silver's cafeterias are called upon
to refuse patronage there unless
they discontinue to be served by the

Strike of 600 N. J.
EmbrOidererS Is.
Solid in End Week
Strikers Appeal to L.
G. W. U. Members to
Support Strike

UNION CITY, N. j., March 25.-
Between 500 and 600 Schiffli en-
,o';e~G, under the leader
ship of the Schiff1i Embroidery
Workers Industrial Union, have been
on strike in Union City and West
New York, N. j., since March 21st.
About so per cent of the industry is
completely tied up by the strike.
In statement yesterday, the
leaders of the Schiff1i Workers IN
dustrial Union stated that if the
strike is not spread at once, there
is the greatest danger that the
strike will be broken. The strikers
appeal to every member of the In
ternational Ladies Garment Union
to take the floor in their union and
demand that support be given to
the strikers, and that the entire in
dustry be completely tied up by a
general strike.
The strike is aimed directly
against the N. R. A. slave code in
the industry. The workers have put
forward the proposed code of the
workers to apply for the entire in
dustry.
The strikers are demanding a 35
hour week with guaranteed wages
from $1S to $40; the abolition of the
stretch-out; the abolition of home
work in the entire industry; for the
recognition of the union and elected
shop committees Of the workers; the
right of the workers to belong to
any union; and no victimization of
any worker for union activity.

Anti-Fire Trap Meet Tonight
To Aid 9th St. Rent Strikers

issued an appeal to tenants In the
block and to the workingclass g1a-
orally for active support to the tight
to bring pressure on the city gov
eminent to force the landlord to
remove the fire-hazards and obey
the existing laws.
The Committee points out that in
addition to lack of fire-proof stairs
and Railways and fire-escape stair
ways, the stairway and enclosing
walls leading from the cellar to the
first floor have not been fire.
proofed. A fire starting in the cell
lar would rapidly spread to the up
per floors. The landlord has not
only refused to heed the complaints
Of the tenants, but has disregarded
notices from the Tenement House
Department, which has taken no
steps to enforce the law.
In addition, the roof is not kept
in repairs, 50 that when it rains,
the water leaks through the ceiling,
walls and halls, endangering the
health of the tenants as well as
running their furniture. The sky
light is in a dilapidated condition,
so that rain floods the Railways.
While these conditions breed YER
min, as well as disease, the landlord
refuses determination service. The
fats are not steam-heated, and the
chimneys are broken so that coal
gas fumes are forced back into the
apartments, further endangering
the health of the tenants and their
children. The landlord removed the
door-bells, rather than repair them,
thereby depriving the tenants of
the bells as a warning signal during
fires.

NEW YORK october 12.-Dun &
Bradstreet's weekly trade review re-
ported today that warm weather
throughout the Middle West had re-
tarded the increase in retail trading
this week.
In wholesale markets, however, gen.
eral orders were reported growing more
numerous and larger in size, although
buying still is proceeding with much
caution"
Retail demand was reported more
evenly distributed among textiles, dra-
peries, housewares, women's apparel
and mems clothing than was the case
in the two preceding weeks.
Sales of mems suits we're better this
week than at any other time this
Fall, and cool days added to topcoat
sales. The best demand since Spring
was reported for shirts, and more than
seasonal sales were noted for gloves,
hats and neckwear.
Fall sports added vigor to retail sales
Of outdoor wear, and foot ball games
brought sweaters into prominence.

ems divisions"
Novelty shops noted a decided i'm
provement in calls for special gifts
and prizes, while table linens, glass
ware and china are being bought in

The progress made in wholesale
buying In the last six weeks was
reported to have been unaided by
speculative purchasing and in the face
OF higher prices in many divisions, in
dicating the absence of burdensome
inventories.
In fact, further expansion in dis
tributive channels is held irrepressible
judging from the orders which have
been placed for goods to be delivered
close to the turn of the year and
even for the balance of the Winter
based on actual needs which have
become clearly defined" the review
