- Chicago society women took up the
cause of striking garment makers this
week and brought about an unusual
situation. The society women, all OF
them members of various social clubs
had pledged their sympathy and actual
support to the garment makers, and
participated in a big demonstration,
marching to and around garment fac
tories, blowing horns, beating pans and
beckoning to the workmen to come out
and go on strike. The club women
were dressed as garment workers. The
police thinking that it was just an or
binary crowd of strikers went among
the people and used their clubs. They
claimed to have used their clubs only
on the men; but several women were
also struck Several hundred women
were rounded up and taken to the po-
lice court, and when the club women
produced their engraved calling cards,
showing that they were the daughters
of the most prominent business men of
the city, there was not little conster-
nation. The judge soon began TO see
that after all their offense was not
nearly as great as had been supposed,
and they were promptly discharged.
Many of the women were very indig-
nant at the way they had been treated,
holding that they hae not done any
thing to warrant arrest.
