A meeting was called at the Jewish Center by the right-wing sponsors of the Jewish bread strike to test the sentiment of the Jewish organizations, but it was taken over by the left-wing strikers who objected to the methods of procedure, and the meeting ended in a deadlock.

Previous to the meeting, Rabbi Armond Cohn, who was recently elected to the pulpit of the Jewish Center in the absence of Rabbi Harry S. Davidowitz, made futile attempts at bringing the strikers and bakery owners to an agreement. The two sides met in the afternoon with Rabbi Cohn and representatives of the Jewish Bakers Union.

“I thought,” said the Rabbi, “I was just helping settle a question of the price of bread, but I find that that dispute is entangled with a fight between Socialist and Communist forces for leadership. My impression was that both parties were about to accept the compromise terms when they left the conference.”
