IN LABOR CIRCLES
g..

washington workingmen are indignant at
what they term ''the perfidy Of the pack
ers" in the great meat strike They also
deplore the prospect Of violence on the part
of certain of the strikers and strike SYM
pathizers. and hope the threatened turbu-
lence may not assume riotous proportions
sympathetic strike of all the Industries
directly or indirectly connected with the
meat traffic is favored by many of the To-
cal trade unionists. AS one Of the latter
expressed it:
Every force that can be brought into
strikers. 1t is to be fight to a finish from
present indications. and who can tell how
or where it will end? In this connection
am pessimistic enough to fear direful con-
sequences The meat trust has been re-
vealed in it's true colors to the American
people in the past few days. 1t has shown
itself to be arbitrary, tryannnical and I'M
just in It's dealings with all. Public opin-
ion will therefore be with the strikers, and
I believe the federal authorities will even
tually have to intervene, as they did in the
great anthracite coal strike. victory for
the striking meat cutters will mean VIC
tory for the masses of our people against
one OF the most monstrous combines Of the
twentieth century.
"Goaded to desperation by the brutality
Of the combined packers concluded the
speaker, 1T will not surprise me that overt
acts may be committed in Chicago and
elsewhere by the strikers and their friends
and sympathizers. But in common with
all law-abiding unionists. 1 hope scenes OF
violence may be averted by the exercise Of
f1rmness and good Judgment on the part or
the strike leaders"

to do so, but her strength failed, and
in the presence of the crowd, which
had gathered, she fell to the pave

young woman made a rope by tearing
up some blankets and sheets, ana
started to climb down from her win
dow, which faced an alley. Mrs. EN-
ma Leslie saw ner from her laundry
across the alley. and shouted to her
to go back Mrs. Leslie then ran into
the hotel to get help. A man in the
room adjoining to where Miss Delaro
was hanging, with her knees against
the wall, opened his window. In an
