Mr. Milford Spohn of this city has re-
ceived circular letter addressed to or
ganized labor, which is as follows
DO you believe in sympathetic strikes?
"On November Is, 1904, thirteen locals OF
the special order branch of the United
Garment Workers of America who had
closed shop contracts, none of which ter
minated before June 1, 1905, with their
employers were locked out.
ION April g. 1905, the Transfers of this
city went sympathetic strike in COM
pliance with referendum vote of all the
locals affiliated with the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor.
'.The employers had finally refused TO
even listen to any proposition for a settles
ment of the garment workers difficulty.
1T is now q night between combined cap
ital and organized labor; the employers de-
claring The unions must go and organ-
lied labor fighting for its right 10 remain
organized. The employers have raised a
fund of several million dollars to wipe out
the unions in Chicago.
Twelve of the highest officials of the
trade union movement here have been in
dicted by the grand jury on trumped-up
charge of conspiracy Sixty-two officers
have been cited to appear before the fed
eral court to answer to the same charge.
Hundreds of union men are being locked
UP every day for walking on the streets
and later being fined by the police magis-
trate.
THE Chicago Federation Of Labor and
it's affiliated locals are looking after the
legal defense of all these men and the ex-
pense is very heavy. We must have mon
ey in order to win. If this battle is won
it will mean the disruption OF the Employ
ers' Association in Chicago and the end Of
Pa.ryis nd jobism."
