the committee men to be ready to go on picket lines within a moment’s notice. Hints of possible violence to strike breakers were voiced. The left wing faction of the union was bitterly assailed by most speakers.
Salvatore Ninfo, chairman of the strike committee, announced that all the strike machinery is ready to swing into action. Included among other speakers who endeavored to strengthen the morale of the union on the eve of the strike were Harry Greenberg, vice-president of the committee, and Joseph L. Goldberg, manager-secretary of the Knit Goods Workers Union.
BROOKLYN CHAMBER IS TARGET
The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce came in for criticism by the union officials for allegedly sponsoring company unions. The union plans to hold a mass demonstration in front of the Chamber of Commerce building, 66 Court street, Brooklyn, this afternoon. Among the banners to be carried in the demonstration is one reading, “Chamber of Commerce Sponsors Fake Unions.”
Circulars were distributed in all mills and factories this morning warning workers to “beware of the Company Union. Watch Out for the Snake in the Grass.”
In the meanwhile halls were designated where the strikers will meet as soon as the strike is called. They include: Stuyvesant Casino for Manhattan; Park Palace, Fifth avenue and 110th street, for the Bronx and Harlem; Amalgamated Temple, 17 Arion place, for Brooklyn; Queens County Labor Lyceum for Ridgewood; Brownsville Labor Lyceum for Brownsville and East New York; Workmen’s Circle Lyceum for Newark and Elizabeth, and the Italian Labor Lyceum for West Newark and Union City.
