NEW YORK (JPS) — His

Guild strike against the Day, Yid-
dish daily, has brought David
Dubinsky, president of the In-
ternational Ladies Garment Work-
ers' Union, the appellation of
"Strikebreaker." Dubinsky claim-

to be called a strikebreaker by
such a collection of Communist
stooges as Ben Gold, Joseph Cur-
ran, Louis Weinstock and Michael
Quill."
