The male tailors have struck against star

of these workers are mostly Jew sweaters.

an appeal for funds to support the strik-
ing seamstresses. Seven mass meetings
were held in various parts of the city to-
day.
The Norwaerts, in an article on the strik-

weaken the public sympathy which they
now have almost unanimously.

combusuble material, saturated with PEE

anarchists. and the police believe that the
incendiaries are working conformity with
a number of their associates, who act as
claimants for the 800 marks reward which
is given for the discovery of a fire.
