Boss Barbers’ Meeting En STRIKE - BRE A KING Se Motion Pictures by Wire for the First Ti UP ASSOCIATION PIGKET ALL SHOPS Settlements Continuing, Says Union Three hundred members of the Boss’ rbers’ Association, the remainder f an original membership of about 1,000 at a meeting of their organiza- tion held late Thursday night, revolted and broke up the meeting when their manager. A. Mongno, tried to put thru a $5 tax for a fund to carry on fight against the recently called of the Brooklyn Barbers’ Lo- eal 913. Many Bosses Brought to Knees. As a result of an announcement by the workers organization, that i would refuse to deal with the hosses’ association, a majority of that or- ganization’s membership broke away and signed independent agreements with the union. The meeting which was held at the Brooklyn Labor Lyceum, the same hall where the strikers met, was stormy thruout. The officialdom’s appeals to keep up the fight was listened to coldly, many of those present admit- ting having reached a settlement with the union. The climax came when the anti-strike fund was proposed. The employers’ association broke the agreement with the union, over two months ago by making a $5 wage cut. The workers srganized their forces ‘md went on strike just before the Easter holidays. Picketing Keens U: ‘ The manager cf the bosses’ associ- «tion, Mongno, is ealling for solidar- ity among the bosses, declared that | the workers had played a “dirty trick” n them, by striking on the Passover holidays. From the union headquarters came the announcement that those shops stibborn in maintaining an open shop will be-regularly picketed by the workers’ previously employed there. These are mainly the large shops who are the leading spirits in the em-/our union and that any member in-|0f the large utilities is very evident in ployers association. The rush of bosses seeking settle- ments is keeping up unabated, Rosen- baum, of the union’s press committee stated yesterday. The resultant fiasco | of the bosses meeting is expected to inerease the applications for settle- ments, he added. Try to.Raise Money for Counter - Revolutionary Sheet in the U.S. S. R.

A recent editorial in The Freiheit, Jewish Communist Daily, condemns this appeal for funds as another coun- evolutionary attempt of the so- ts that is doomed to failure. The Soviet Unicn will never permit the circulation of re: onary propaganda, the editorial says, and declares that the right wingers here know this, but, intend to use the money to help the notorious counter-revolutionist R.

It is believed that the power trust wants a more inclusive bill to be passed as the Sargent bill only calls for the development and leasing of part of the power sites of New York state. A bill that meets the full approval of the power interests will undoubtedly be introduced in the next session of the legislature. The republican party had support- ed a bill for private lease of the power rights to enable them to lease it direct to the Mellon interests.
