The main demand is no forced overtime without pay, and time-and-a-half for overtime work. The strike is being led by the Metal Workers Industrial Union, Most of the workers are young workers and the wages average 20 cents an hour. One of the demands }is a minimum wage of 30 cents an hour. The workers now work from 48 to 55 hours per week, and one of the demands of the strikers is a 46- hour week and recognition of the shop committee and the Metal Work- ers Industrial Union. A shop committee was organized in the plant before the strike by the Metal Workers Industrial League. | This committee was instrumental in calling the strike. The committee put the demands before the boss while all workers stopped work. The demands were rejected. Following this the workers walked out of the shop. A mass meeting of all the strikers was held at Manhattan Lyceum in which all expressed their determina- tion to stick out until the demands are won. Picketing was carried on all day and will be every day of the strike. All unemployed workers are urged to take part in the mass picketing at 7 a.m, HELP COLLECT FUNDS TO SEND THE MARCHERS TO WASHING- TON, NEIGHBORHOOD THEATRES BAST SIDE—BRONE [RKO quo Site RKO Acts— H.
