SHUTDOWN IS VOTED !
FOR KOSHER STORES
Employers’ Strike in Protest of
Mounting Wholesale Prices
Approved.
Br the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 24—Five thou
sand kosher meat and poultry store
owners have voted to close their shops
indefinitely in protest against high
wholesale meat prices. Samuel Jacobi,
secretary' of the Federation of Kosher
Butchers, announced today.
Jacobi said the “employers’ strike"
had been temporarily postponed be
cause of opposition from butchers in
the Rnckaways, Coney Island and
neighboring resorts, but that a meet
ing had been called next Wednesday
to fix the date.
The federation secretary said a
wholesale price rise from an average of
11 to 23 cents a pound had forced
hundreds of small independent own
ers into bankruptcy..
“We want to let the public know
(if these high prices,” he added. "We
want the United States Department
of Agriculture to Investigate why
prices are so high.”
Jacobi, who estimated 95 per cent
Of the 2.000.000 Jewish residents here
Were dependent upon meat and poul
try- furnished by the kosher stores,
said the industry has a weekly busi
ness turnover of $2,000,000.
Opposition to the stoppage was
Voiced by Abraham Brill, counsel for
the New Deal Local, comprising
kosher chain stores” and large shops.
“We think it is silly,” he said. “In
/*ny opinion, there will be no stoppage:
but even if one is authorized we will
never go along wdth it.”
