Ros: BAKERS STRIKE AT “SOCIALIST” SHOP Fight Against Paycuts and Sveed-Up NEW YORK. — The bakers of the yn co-operative !bakery (Co- rading Association) pave gone on strike as a result of the at- Finnish social-fascist ip of the insti- ing conditions and standards of the workers, and the discharge of two workers. The ikers demands the return of the discharged workers. The social-fas- leaders have rejected this de- mand and have begun to hire strike- ers, in which the Finnish social- fascist paper “Raivaaja” has given its assistance Nevertheless, not enough j|strike- breakers have been gotten to date in rt the bakery going. In- the strike has broadened so ae drivers and some of the ca- f ; in the building have struck. ‘ The i the speed-up, g policy hip of di and renegade tution agai bre: ag against md wage- ocial-fascist ution. This fired work- pation in » revolutionary workers for disiribution of Communist Party, and even for the mere expression of sympathy toward the Communists. These workers are members of the local of the Bakery and Confection- ary Workers Union (AFL). The ca- feteria w re members of the Amalgamated Food Workers Union. he bureaucrats of the latter union have previously condoned the dis- charging of workers and would un- doubtedly have done so again, if it hadn't been for the militancy of the workers being such as to force the AFL leaders to formally declare in fayor of the strike. But, true to their strike-breaking role, these |bureau- crats have now forced through a de- {cision in the local against the strike, outlawing it. The strikers have held a meeting and have decided to adhere to their original demands. The work- ers have their own strike committee, elected from their midst: HUNGER CAUSES MORE SUICIDES NIAGARA FALLS, Ont.—Frantic at the prospect of having his home and possessions sold at auction, Thomas Stokes, a farmer ef Stamford town- ship, killed Rirrs-1Z on Dec. 8, after setting fire to his home and taking three sho‘s at baliff in charge of the sale. of the the insti Pee DENVER, Col.— Jobless, starving and cold, with no hope of finding a job, William Gwinup, 80 year old plasterer, killed himself the day be- fore Thanksgiving by slashing his The capitalist press stated that Gwinup was un- doubtedly mentally derranged.
