THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, ere 10, 1928. Page Five Solidarity of 4,500 Barbers Strikers Forces 760 Shops to “Recognize WORKERS STILL PICKET THOUGH SEVEN ARRESTED Complete Unionization | Is Goal | The strike of the International Union of Journeymen Barhers,| called three days ago by locals 752! and 900 of the organization, had by yesterday succeeded in enforcing 760 shops in the borough of Man- hattan that were non-union before the strike, to agree to recognize the union. The capitulation of the 760 bar- ber shops and their agreement to recognize the International Union of Journeymen Barbers was made possible by the whole-hearted sup- port of the strike by the workers in Manhattan, who two days ago walked out 4,500 strong to force complete recognition of the union by all the non-union shops in New York. The strike is to continue, accord- ing to statement given out at the union headquarters late yesterday, until all the shops in Manhattan ony unionized. Detectives Attack Pickets. | The strike, which has been on now for several days, got off to a sudden start when seven strikers, picketing before the non-union shops on East 38rd St. in an effort to in- duce fellow-workmen to join them in their strike, were arrested by de- tectives under the command of De- tective Lieutenant John Broderick. They were charged with disorderly conduct, and with street-fighting. The arrested pickets, however, main- tain that the fighting started when the detectives assaulted them as they waited to cross the street. Strike on West Side. | A strike on the west side of Manhattan was forecast by Abra- ham Greenwald, manager of local 752 of the union, as soon as the east) side of the city is unionized. The strike is being carried on solely for the purpose of forcing all, shops in the borough to recognize} the union. Other demands will be taken up as soon as the present strike attains its successful comple- tion, a statement at the union head-j quarters ot en bs ARRANGE PARTY OPEN AIR MEETS .: Today.
