A PARIS SHOP STRIKE.
Brought About by Petty Tyranny In
volving Poor Seamstress

PARIS, Jan. 1S.-Union workers in
a fashionable shop on Rue de la Paix
declare that they are unjustly treated
When one of the biouSe makers was
detected recently working on q gar
ment not intended for sale in the shop
there WAS instant inquiry into the
matter. and amid the excitement and
pity of her fellows the seamstress was
discharged. A pretty Breton working
girl, however, threw herself dauntless-
ly into the breach. She told the pro-
prietor that if the girl was doing work
for outside customers it was not at her
own instance, but at that of the wom-
an superintendent, who forced many
girls to do this extra sewing by which
she profited. This outburst won the
sympathy of the other girls, who
manifested an intention to stick. The
employer offered them no satisfaction,
so forty girls walked out.
There as yet has been no demon
stration, no offer of help from wealthy
patrons, and it looks as if the girls
may be forced to return to work, as
their places can be easily filled. Sew
ing girls are plentiful in France.
