ment of President Taft's policy will do
much to clear the air. in Alaska.

Two hundred and fifty gritty girls,
who threw just 10 times their num-
ber of men out of work because the
employer of all of them did not lis
ten to their demands, have won
their strike at the Pollack stogie
factories.
The girls are strippers, receiving
two cents a pound for the work
they turned out. They asked a half
cent Increase or else that an expert
weigher. discharged, be reinstated.
Miss Gussie Pollack, head of the
81 900 900 concern, has now ordered
the weigher taken back.
Miss Gussie Pollack, a Wheeling
society girl. is heiress to the Pol
lack millions, left her by her father,
the late Augustus Pollack. a man of
iron will. who started with nothing
and broke his way through to for
tune.
| 1t was the boast of Augustus Pol
lack that he never had disagree
ment with his employees about
wages.
And the girl strikers say they
would have no disagreement with
Miss Gussie IL she had not been
influenced by hard hearted advis-
ers.
