These workers who struck against a 20 per cent wage cut, after a struggle lasting a few days, re- turned to work after the company “promised” to rescind the wage cut and not discriminate against those active in the strike. Although warned by the Trade Union Educational League here to return to work on the bare “prom- ise” of the company and without union recognition would be disas- trous, the walkout was called off, The workers were not re-hired the everal days elapsing be- of them were taken back, Most important, however, was the fact that the entire strike committee was fired, and the wage cut put into effect, the company contemptuously ignoring the “promises” it had made to the shops.
