amongst green men in the labor movement and employers unaccuS- toned to dealing with unorganized labor?
 No. I believe there is more un- Americanism to be found in the happenings amongst his group of clients than will be found in the actions of the firms of Musante, German & Steinberg and Randall Brothers in signing the union con- tract granting fair wages and con- ditions and the closed shop to pro- tect the compliance of the con- tract.
 The fear of d closed shop on the part of MT. Larkin's clients does not lie in anything un-hmerican but in the fact that a closed shop will prevent them from getting rid of the union men who will have to be paid the scale of wages in the contract and replacing them with non-union men who will work for the stipends paid to them previous to the organization of their men.
 We will continue to carry out our strike for our minimum de- mands with the cooperation of our unions in other sections of the state and out of the state and with peaceful picketing and ap- peals to the public for their sym- pathy and in the honest hope that the frightful incidents which oc- cured in the past few days will not occur again and that the spreading of the strike through out the produce industry in the state will not become necessary
 New York Unions have pledged us their full-hearted support in the event that it is needed.

Thanksgiving Day Change
Stirs Up Unusual Comment

Whatever the reason for the
change, the announcement broke out
all Of the kissing steam that was
pent up. Business interests here

to its possible benefits. There was
no disclosure by, the President of
the identity Of those business inter-
ests he had consulted. Some lines
of trade felt that terrific damage
had been done them and their shouts
were angry. Religious groups have
remained silent, as organizations,
but their Individual members have
had unpleasant things to say about
the change. Altogether, the picture
seems to show a bad reaction
throughout the nation.

ever, from practical standpoint:
