Ten men were arrested yesterday when a large crowd of striking workers of the knit goods industry staged a demonstration in front of the Star Sportwear Corporation, 568 Broadway. Included among the arrested were Harry Duddstein, 32, of 180 Grand street extension, Brooklyn, who was charged with assault by Elsie Fehrs.
Several thousand pickets were on duty on Seventh avenue between Thirty-fourth and Forty-fourth streets, Manhattan. Another thousand pickets marched in Brooklyn. Trouble was also reported in North Bergen and West New York, N. J., where strikers stormed knit goods mills.
Representatives of employers and union men met at the office of Samuel Blumberg, counsel to the Metropolitan Knitted Textile Association, the employers group, at 200 Fifth avenue, but nothing was accomplished. Morris Dubinger, president of the Association, and David Dubinsky, president of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, of which the striking Knit Goods Workers Union is a branch, attended.
The strike is now in its third day and all factories and mills in New York and New Jersey are closed. The walk out is reported to be complete.
