10000 Other Unionists of the City

lie Giving Their Reasons for This
Fight-Company Will Not Arbitrate.


since the Garments strike began, more
than two weeks ago, was broken Sunday
night by a series of disturbances in
which three persons were shot, one a
girl, fatally; many unruly persons were
severely dubbed by the police and more
than score of arrests made.
The turbulence of the night came as
an unwelcome shock to the hopes of the
authorities that Sunday was to pass
without serious disorders. This hope
had been fostered by the days pacific
aspect, which in itself had been sur
.prising, as trouble was anticipated as a
result of the general strike.

The strikers committee of 10 has
ISSUED the following statement:
1.-The second day of the general strike
finds labor s force militant, with nearly
