NEW BRIGHTON, Pa, May s.-The
test of strength between the wash
women's union and the Operators"
came today and the latter put up such
a formidable front that there is little
probability of the infant organization
marching in the next Labor Day pa
rade.
The promoters of the union are said
to have been busy during the last sew
eral days injecting stiffening into the
weaker backbones, giving the members
'iron heel of capital talks and
Strengthening the lines generally until
it was believed that when washday
should arrive, the enemy would retreat
in disorder and grant the $150 a day
demanded as a substitute for the 81
rate which has prevailed here.
But the employers had been doing
few things themselves. When the MEM
bers of the union appeared at various
homes today to preside over the wash
day festivities, they were met by this
ultimatum: THE old rate or quit" A
few quit. Most of them did not.
"They wouldn't stick togetherE
