at Macaulay, Charging
Breach of Agreement
NEW YORK.-Breach of contract by the Macaulay Company, publishers, of 381 Fourth Avenue, caused the calling yesterday of the second strike in three months, by the Office Workers Union. The union charges that by discharging of Clara Kittas, Minna Kaufman, Frances Ellis and Susan Jenkins without consulting the shop committee, as specified in the agreement with the union signed by L. F. Furman, president-treasurer of the company, Macaulay Company broke the contract.
The strike took effect yesterday morning when a picket line of more than 50 workers, students and authors was on duty through the day.
In addition to the workers of the Macaulay Company, employees of the Viking Press, Vanguard Press, Covici and Friede, Modern Library, McMillan Company, Scribners, publishing houses, and Dauber and Pine and other bookstores were on the picket line.
