The Huntsville Daily Times, published in: Huntsville, AL Date: November 2 1919 Page/Column: Section 2, Page 7, Column 5 BUTCHERS ARE ON STRIKE IN NEW YORK STATE ---------------------------- By the Associated Press New York, N. Y., Nov. 1 – Demands that provision wagon drivers should receive from $102 to $245 a week (correct), were among those made y five hundred inside butchers in what was denounced by Adolph GOBEL as the first step in a “Bolshevist” movement to take over his plant in Brooklyn. Mr. GOBEL, who announced last night that he had closed his doors temporarily after the butchers had gone on a strike, said that he was “informed by an insider” that the unionists planned, after accomplishing their purpose by a series of strikes, to allow him six per cent on his investment and to divide all the profits over that amount among themselves. This strike was said by Mr. GOBEL to be primarily an effort to force the drivers and the outside salesmen to join the union. The drivers, according to Mr. GOBEL, recognized the demands made for them as excessive, and refused to join the strikers. They now receive $49 to $80 a week. http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/link.php?action=detail&id=91655
