N. Y. SYMPATIC STRIKE
IS BIG FIASCO AS YET
International News Service.
NEW YOftK, Sept. 28.—Business
activities have not .vet been noticeably
interfered with by the sympathetic
strike which began yesterday. This is
due to the fact that only a small por
tion of the unions have yet responded
to the call.
Estimates vary greatly as to the
number now on strike. Some leaders
claim that fully two hundred thousand
have left their jobs. Information front
other sources leads to the belief that
no more than fifty thousand have gone
nut.
Three powerful unions with a total
nicmbornhip of out- hundred and cughty !
thousand will vote today on the ques- 1
lion ot joining-In the strike.
Front present indications the sym
pathetic strike is somewhat of a fiasco.
The police have no records of un
common disorder during the past 24
hours it nil assert that they will lie aide
to handle the situation.
Great pressure is being brought by
employers to prevent their employes
joining the strike and the known re
luctance of many workers to join th i
movement is tracablc to this source.
