Many of the young workers em- ployed in the store, which is one of the most slave-driving concerns in| New York City, interfered in behalf of Schiffman. They were very sym- pathetic and showed as much by| their action. This “bulletin, according to a re-| ‘cent statement of the Young Work-| ers (Communist) League, is only| one of the many that are being dis- | tributed to young workers all over New York City.
