GAIN FOR GARMENTS UNION
Thirty Men Go Into the Organization al
Wednesday Nights Meeting.
Reject coMPANrs OFFER OF MORE PAY
Unionist Says Men Are Unwilling tC
Sell Their Rights N Citizens
for Two and y Half
Cents an Hour.

Thirty members were initiated into the
Street Railway Employees union Wednes-
day night. the largest number that has been
taken in at one time since the institution OF
the union. According to the statement of
one Of the employees and an active promoter
Of the union, the large number Wednesday
was a demonstration against the action Of
the officers of the company. He said:
"Wednesday John Cahill, an employee of
the company, presented a paper to the nom
union employees by which it was agreed
that In consideration Of the fact that they
would not join the union they would be
paid at the rate OF 22h cents an hour.
while the rate Of wages now in force is
20 cents an hour. Thu petition was pre-
scented on almost all OF the lines of the city
and was signed by six or eight Of the nom
union men. Cahill was told that II the
work was worth 22h cents an hour that
rate should be paid, and II 1t wero not
worth that sum the men would not sign
away their rights as men for the addi-
tional 2h cents an hour. Late in the even
ing Cahlll reported to Superintendent
Tucker, saying that It was OF no use to try
to disrupt the union, as the men would
not sign, even for the consideration offered.
The word was passed along among the
boys, with the result that we decided to
make the limitations Wednesday a record
breaking affair. We were to a slight de-
gree handicapped by the fact that a num-
Der OF the %nonunion men had already
signed an agreement not to enter the union
when they we're given employment. But
some had not signed the agreement and
others conveniently forgot the terms, so
that out Of the thirty more than half of
them were. possibly. men who had at one
time promised never to join"

CLAD ONLY IN NIGHT ROBE
woman Found Unconscious in snow
in Front of Her Resi-

Clad only in her night robe, Mrs. John
McCrae, residing at 2444h South Fifteenth
street, was found unconscious in front of
her home early yesterday morning by neigh

told Prosecutor Thomas. she was driven
from home Wednesday night by her husband.
Compelled to fee, she had only time in
which to gather up her clothing and leave
the home thinly clad. The extreme cold
weather and exposure caused her to swoon
and she was discovered In that condition
after she had been in the snow for some
time.
Frank schulehardt, who rooms at 2444
South Fifteenth street, called at the police
station in the interests of the woman and
said that she wanted to rescue her 2-year-
old child from her husband.
Mrs. McCrae claimed that her husband
had beaten her during a At Of anger and
that she was forced to fee from the house
to protect herself from further injury.
City Prosecutor Thomas at once issued a
warrant for McCrae's arrest, charging him
with assault and battery. The police say
that McCrae has been reported for similar
actions in the past.

CHRISTMAS TURKEYS SCARCE
Wholesale Price Next Week IL likely
to he Twenty Cents
q Pound.

Produce dealers are predicting a price on
turkeys at Christmas which will make the
Thanksgiving figures look small. At the
present time the wholesale price OF tur-
keys is IL cents a pound and the retail
price all hat the trade will bear. The
manager of one Of the largest houses in
the city said;
II believe that by the first Of next week
the price OF turkeys to the retail dealer
will be 20 cents. a price never before
reached on this market. There is appar-
entity no stock to be had in the country OF
Il would be offered at the present high
price. This means that many persons who
usually have turkey at Christmas will sat-
