Chairman of Shop Owners
Hits "ChiseIers" Within
Cleaning Industry.

A small group Of "chiselers" within

both employers and employees to at
tain conditions which good health
requires" Samuel Rubenstein, chair
man of the Shop Owners Committee,
declared today as 4 deadlock vas
reached in efforts to settle the strike
affecting approximately $50 workers.
Under an N. R. A. code, Rubenstein
said, 1t was possible for the industry
to regulate prices so wage and hour
concessions could be granted employees.
The Sherman antitrust law now
makes it impossible for the majority
OF the industry to control price cutting
by minority. he asserted.
"As a result" Rubenstein continued,
"a small percentage of chiselers is
making it economically impossible for
the average employer and the average
employe to get the things which good
health requires"
Compromise Plan Rejected.
In an effort to reopen l3 closed
plants the Shop Owners Committee
yesterday urged the union to accept a
compromise agreement under which a
minimum wage of SIS week would be
paid while negotiations continued on
the organized workers demands for a
40-hour week. an s18 weekly minimum
wage, time and a half for overtime
and union recognition.
Union representatives rejected the
compromise offer, Rubenstein said
and declared the shops would remain
closed until their owners met the
unions demands.
| Negotiations will continue, but the
union will have to make some reces.
SONS before an agreement can be
reached. Rubenstein said.
Shortly after the conference, unior
officials announced that the Aladdin

support the strike. will meet tonight
at Pythian Temple to determine
whether it should extend further
financial assistance.
AT mass meeting in the Y. VIC, A
last night representatives of 12 local
labor groups with combined men,
bership of $4,000 voted to support the
strike and to urge their members to
boycott the affected plants until q
settlement is made.
| The League of Women Shoppers

Colman, daughter of Senator Wheele,
OF Montana, whose members distributed
food to pickets yesterday, voted today
to support the strikers in their re-
lection of the compromise offered by
the plant operators.

London Smart Set Dances
 in "The Morgue" Resort

"The Morgue" is the name of Londor's popular night club, says a United Press correspondent.
 In an atmosphere of collins, tomb- stones, skulls, ghouls and things that go bump in the night" the smart folk dance until the small hours of the morning.
 The correct thing for visitors to do IS to toast the skulls and con- pose a humorous epitaph for one of the tombstones.
 On the ground floor of the club Is pleasantly lit room called "Sey- enth Heaven," with the usual tiny dance floor and bored jazz bands that can be seen in any night club anywhere. In the dark corner Is a dimly lit staircase that leads down to The Morgue.'
 AS the timid visitor descends he is greeted with vail from some hidden siren that would put any self-respecting ghost to shame.
 On every wall of the long eerie room are painted graves and tomb stones, each one headed "R. I. F." Doggerel. proclaims the merits or demerits of "the old toper" alleged to be buried beneath.
 Ruins of churches with bats fly ing from the walls, and gruesome pictures of bodies torn from their graves and lying naked on stone slabs-the work of one of the younger and modern school of art ists, 1t is said-form the mural" decoration.
 A score of black coflins with imi. tation brass handles and fittings painted on their sides are the tables at which the guests sit A massive mausoleum hung with wreaths of evergreen is at the far end. It bears plate to the effect that some aged Londoner "who had once refused a driAk" lies buried below.
