STRIKE IN POLAND
DISPUTE OVER WAGES. GENERAL STOPPAGE OF WORK. (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Warsaw, October 15. Because employers agreed to only a five per cent, increase in wages on condition that labour should refrain from asking for further increases until July, 1929, labour proclaimed a general strike on Friday in order to force further concessions. Some factories resumed work on Monday, causing the strike committee to hold a special meeting when it was decided to reinforce the strike, and immediately the strikers stopped several street cars and prevented water sewage.
The personnel of all cinemas, theatres, hospitals and sick funds joined the strikers. The Socialists permitted only two officials to remain at work in Lodz to organize the distribution of relief to the families of strikers.—Times Cables.
