"LABOR" BANK FIRES UNIONIST
Protest Ouster of Shop Chairman Tonight
The bank of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers' Union, boasted of by B. C. Vladeck of the Jewish Forward, as "more valuable than all the writings of Marx and Lenin" at the union's convention just ended in Cincinnati, has discharged the shop chairman in the bank for his union activities. The latter was elected by the employees in the bank, who are members of the Office Workers League.
A protest meeting will be held at the Labor Temple, 14th St. and Second Ave., tonight at 7 o'clock by the Office Workers' League.
"For the second time in recent months," a statement issued by the League last night stated, "a department head has been dismissed from the Amalgamated Bank for union activities. The shop chairman of the bank was discharged because of the defense he put up in behalf of a worker who was recently discharged for union activities. The Office Workers' League, of which the dismissed worker is a member, protests this action on the part of the Amalgamated Bank and will hold a meeting at the Labor Temple tonight to voice its objection to this discrimination against union members by a labor bank.
"Prominent speakers will address the meeting. Admission is free."
