Egry Workers
Strike For
Higher Wages
and Contract

The first strike in the history of
the Egry Register Company was
called by UE Local 753, last Mon
day, May rs, at 400 p. m. The
entire shop was shut down COM
pletely by Tuesday noon. In order
for the office force to get the pay
roll out by Thursday, the Union
permitted the office force to enter
the building on the provision that
the factory be inspected by the
Union Committee every hour to
see that the office force would do
no work in the factory.
The Production and the Main
tenance workers of the Egry
Register Company, for the first
time in the forty-seven years
of the company's existence have
presented the company with a
contract for wages, hours, and con-
ditions of employment. This con-
tract calls for a just wage and
working conditions that are CON-
mon in this community where
the UE contract protects the
workers, although being very
much underpaid IS compared to
other rates paid in the commun-
ity, are only asking for a 10 cents
per hour increase. They r asking
for a weeks vacation with pay
for employees of one years serv-
ice or more and union protection.
After three weeks of nego-
tiations no agreement could be
reached. The big stumbling block
In, the negotiations was the COM
pany's notorious anti labor at
torney. Because of his many
refusals to discuss parts of the
contract, the Union only had
n alternative, which was to
force the continuance of nego-
tiations by STRIKING.
A resolution was passed by the
membership asking that this at
torney be barred by the manage
ment from future negotiations.

TALKS
MONDAY, JUNE 2

Due to the fact that the Egry
workers had to strike, they are
more determined than ever that
demands for a decent living
wage to maintain the American
standard of living be met. They
are defending their rights as
American citizens to bargain with
their employer, and put an end to
the company's policy of DICTAT-
ING to the workers.
Egry workers appreciate the
support given them by the
workers of De1co and Frigidaire
and the many other CLIO mem
bers i'm their fight to defend the
American standard of living.
The strike was kept under con-
troll over the weekend holiday.
The Union met with the manage
ment Monday, June 2, and re-
ceived a counter proposal. This
was not acceptable to the mem
bership. The membership rallied
stronger than ever behind their
leaders, and stated that they would
stay out on STRIKE until their
demands were met. The negotiat-
ing committee consists of Chair
man Jacob Crosby, Marinell Am
brose, Al began and Alex Martin.
The committee was assisted by
Henry Fiering, UE Field Organizer,
and Joseph Garner, Field Organ
izer, and instructed by the mem
bership to continue negotiations.

Commemoration of the four hun- dredth anniversary of the first complete Swedish Bible took place at the morning worship at Zion Evangelical Lutheran church on Cherry street yesterday. In speaking of this Quadrieentennial the pastor of the church, Rev. '. Elnar Kron, said, in part, as follows:

JAY ALLEN GIVES
 LECTURE TONIGHT
War Correspondent Who Saw Alcazar Blown Up
 Guest at WOmen's Club

Jay Allen, war correspondent and lecturer who speaks ct the Water. bury Women's Club tonight ct e:30 o'clock, and who has recently been released from the Naz military IpTi. son in Occupied France after being accused Of espionage and dc daullist activity but finally sentenced for i!- legally crossing the boundary line between occupied and linoccupisd France, is no stranger to danger. He has narrowly escaped death on sev. eral occasions.
 In what to most American news. paper readers was one of the most dramatic events of the early days of the Spanish Clvil War, Allen was set upon by band of rioters, his car riddled with bullets and his chauf- feur shot.
 Allen himself escaped death only because Of his quickness in dropping to the floor Of his automobile and In lying in co an inert c position that his attackers believed that their blil- let's had found their real target. The news of his supposed demise was flashed to newspapers throughout the country and reached his wife and child In Seattle, Washington, where they were staying at the time In his parents' home, through the frontpage headlines of the Seattle newspapers.
 '1t'S an odd feeling to turn up and find ail your friends mourning your death". Allen admitted recently. Tt does give you c kind of an eerie feeling but that kind of thing doesn't last long in c war"
 Tn Aliens case his 3riends' grief was quickly assuaged not only by his reappearance but by his vivid acc counts of these early engagements around IA Linea. He had thoroughly "scooped" his colleagues during the interval when the world believed him dead.
 Mir. Allen, however, does not like to talk about his own exploits, more especially about the several times when his life was threatened by FFanco's gunmen. Journalistic hjs- tory records, though, that he was the first correspondent to break the news of Franco's Revolution in spain, the first to inform the world that Italian planes and German supplies were being sent to the aid of the revolutionists. His account of
 the massacre in the "bullring" at BadaJos created excited comment throughout the world. He saw the AlcaSar blow up, Toledo fall and in terviewed young Primo de Rivera In an Alicante prison and e score of other history-making incidents some Of which he will speak on this eve. ming.
