if she thought anyone was
encroaching on her domain

new York GIRL STRIKERS WIN

New York.-More than ~ s090 of
the original 10000 shirtwaist makers
who walked out on general strike
on November % have already won
their battle, but the girls still OUT
are in a desperate plight as the battle
has been very costly and the union
has very little funds. The fight began
without any real organization among
the workers, but ljlsk flash OF light
ming out of a. SEr sky came the
Ladies' Waist Makers Union No rs,
numbering thousands.
Naturally, under such conditions,
the union had no treasury when the
fight started, and once the battle was
under way every penny that could
be collected was used to carry on the
struggle. Hundreds of the girls
fought bravely for weeks, many Of
them hungry and cold.
Scores of them did picket duty
while eating only one scant meal q
day. Hundreds of them faced evic-
ton from their rooms for non-pay-
ment of their rent, Hundreds of
them were arrested by brutal cops
who handled them as though they
taken to dirty cells, kept waiting long
hours before they we're tried and find
or put under bonds to keep the peace,
or sent to Jail. More than a score
of these, girls, some Of them not more
than fifteen or sixteen years of age,
were sent to the work house for five
days for picketing. 7
Although the courts discovered "a
new way to fight organized labor in
this fight, namely with peace bonds
which may properly be called un-
named injunctions, the girls still out
are determined to win, and the signs
are that they will win shortly. They
will be victorious despite the fright
full odds against which they have had
to fight.
The ranks Of the Associated Dress
and Waist Manufacturers--the bosses
assOciation-have been scattered by
the brave girls who have wrung vic
tory from many Of the members.
The union is determined to gain
all the demands of the girls or to
continue the fight until the bosses
are brought to terms, and the girls
will stay out just as long as may be
necessary to win if they are supported
Tive members of the strike COM
mittee are on the road, soliciting sup
port for the girls. Miss Rose
Schneinderman is touring Massachus-
etts, meeting with good success. Miss
Pauline Newman is visiting the cities
in western New York and she is
meeting with great success. In Buff
falo she collected 5000 in. few days
and in Rochester $500.
Both girls are excellent speakers,
and they have succeeded in getting a
great deal of news about the strike
into the papdEs in the towns which
they visited, (which has helped the
strikers greatly.

BUILDING TIED UP

New York.-The striking steam
filters have succeeded in tying up
about four hundred building jobs
with the aid of other unions. The
strike committee tabulates list of
jobs daily and sends pickets to each
of them to inform union men that
they are working with scabs. The
moment the Carpenters; tile layers
electrical workers and other mechan-
les are told they walk OF the job.
A srike of the entire building trades
may result if the steamfitters do not
win son.
