New York, Feb. 9.—Approximately 35,000 needle workers went on strike here today to enforce standar- ized union working agreements in the woman's clothing making in- dustry, according to officials of ers’ union. Morris Sigman, manufacturing waists and dresses were affected . by, the walkout. Thousands of workers, the major- ity of whom were women and girls, picked up their scissors and tools and’ left the shops at the appointed hour and marched in a body to the several halls where mass meetings were held. = They were orderly and no trouble was reported by the police who were stationed through the garment dis- tict, s Mr. Sigman said that approximate- ly 20,000 of the workers who quit today have been working under agreements with employerg /but that they joined the other 15,000 to force all employers to come to an agree- ment with the union.

J., Feb. 9.— Forty-five butcher and baker shops were closed here today and the wom- en who for days have boycotted and picketed the places were jubilant. The housewives had wrangled incessantly for lower bread and meat prices and when the butchers and bakers said 1t couldn’t be done, the women mobil- ized punitive expeditions. A mere man, ignorant of the bov- cott, bought two dozen rolls. On leaving the bakery women attacked him, flung the rolls into the turgid gutter and pursued the innocent buy- er down the street. Other attacks flared up in various parts of the city, and today shopowners figured dis- cretion the better part of business and stayed home with the store door- keys. Unemployment conditions have embittered many consumers against the retailers, it was said, but the bak- ers and butchers claim they cannot cut prices until wholesale quotations drop.
