Set of Rules Complied for Women
And Girls Doing Picket

the business district here this after
noon rode into a crowd that had been
gathered by stirling garment workers
who We're attempting to parade with
out permit. Many persons We're
knocked down and more than a dozen
injured, Including two girls and two
children.
The striking garment workers, frus-
trated yesterday in an attempt to
make a demonstration in the down
town district, tried new plan today
Their mistake yesterday was forming
in line on the west side and attempt
Ing TO march across the river.
The police easily turned them back
at the bridges.
Today they filtered into the loop dis
trct singly and in small groups and
concentrated In the wholesale cloth
ing district.
Police capt. Healey said that as
long as they kept moving and avoided
disturbances they would not be
molested,
Women prominent in social better
mcnt work added their efforts to 9TH
ers being made to bring all garment
workers into the strike. They had been
instructed as to legal restriction gov
erning the actions Of pickets and were
careful to keep within bounds.
SCENE or TROUBLE.
The disorder took place on Adams
street near Fifth avenue One OF the
injured persons was said to have been
a society woman who was acting as
picket for the strikers. She was hur-
irielly removed and her identity couiu
not be learned
The police troopers quickly forced the
crowd apart. sending most of the
strikers and spectators scurrying up
side streets and alleys.
Simultaneously four other parades
were In progress In outlying parts OF
the city. In one of the gatherings at
.Marshfeld avenue, two miles distant
from the business center policeman
was struck and slightly injured.
"a new phase in the strike of garment
workers today was the Inauguration
of systematic pIcketing, according to
rule, for the women and girls. The
3Women's! Trade Union league has COM
piled 4 "set OF rules for girl pickets and
before the striking girls of the society
women who are to come out In full
force today are allowed on the picket
lines, they must first attend the pick
cts SCnoOl. faa y
Legal talent was consulted yesterday
and the rules were written SO as to keep
the pickets within the letter Of the
law so that the police would have no
3pretexta for their arrest. AT least 1900
of the 10000 persons now on strike are
girls and women. and they promise to
be the strongest factor in winning pub
lie sympathy for the strikers.
