NEW YORK, Dec. 5—The Board of Aldermen met. today to consider the Wall Street bankers’ “economy” program. Using the bankers’ “ulti- matum as a pretext and concealing the real intent of the program be- hind cuts in the salaries of highly- paid officials who derive their in- come from other sources, the Board set the stage for wholesale reduction of wages for school teachers, street cleaners, firemen and many other city employes. The true meaning of the program was revealed by the action of the De- partment of Hospitals, which fired | 800 foreign-born workers and has an- | nounced that those who may be hired in their place will have to accept heavy wage reductions. This move represents a wage-cutting scheme which is at the same time a cloak |for reducing medical service and creating a division between the na- ‘tive and foreign-born workers who | are fighting the bankers’ program, Widespread Opposition. Widespread opposition to the joint Maneuver of the bankers and their agents in the city government is de- veloping among teachers, firemen, |nurses and other city employes.

N. Saulters, the arbiter dpproved by the officials. Most newspaper chapels called special meetings end con- demned this award and declaring “that we will do all in our power to render the said award null and void by whatever means possible.” The indignation of the rank and file resulted in the adoption of a resolution instructing the substitutes ;not to accept the stagger plan and to show up at one specified hour. Another resolution as adopted by the N. Y. Times Chapel and taken up at the World-Telegram, Journal- American, the Daily News and the He! -Tribune chapels, reads in part: “The Amalgamation Party, the rank and file organization, which leads and sponsors this fight, calls upon all printing workers to stand ready and support the fight of the | newspaper printers. “This fight is of historic impor- tance. The attack of the publishers must be answered with decisive ac- tion—strike action.

CALL CARPENTERS' TO PICKET SHOPS 8ronx Strikers Game! Despite Arrests Fourteen pickets have been ar-/ rested at mass picket demonstra- tions in front of Garfinkel & Stein- berg Carpenter Shop, 138th 8t., Bronx, N. Y. The workers of the shop have been | on strike for two weeks for unior) conditions. The boss has been hit very harg because the scab carpen- ters cannot put out good workman- ship. He is paying them merely to demoralize the strikers into thinking that their jobs are lost. This is the third strike within the last ten months, The bosses haye been very stubborn in refusing the workers the say in the distribution of the work. Although the strike has weakened the boss he still puts up a front and says he won't give up if he has to lose everything. But the solidarity of the workers is strong. The picket lines are solid and they are ready to give the bosses a hard fight. Despite arrests, and imprisonment, the strikers are showing a fighting spirit in court and, with the help of | the defense lawyer, their release was | secured. The strike is being conducted by the newly organized Independent Carpenters’ Union, 818 Broadway, N. Y. All unemployed carpenters are urged to report for picket duty at the Temporary Strike Headquarters, 260 E, 138th St. near Third Ave., Bronx, N. ¥.
