CHICAGO, Dec. ALI classes
and kinds of people are flocking to
the aid of the striking workers of
ready-made clothing, sold both at
wholesale and by mail order to the
entire country.
Poorly clad. poorly fed, the
strikers face the winter wretched-
ness bravely. They willingly suf-
fer now for the sake of going back
later with their demands granted.
All Chicago, from society to
the slums, from church to saloon,
is helping them, and the rest of
the country is expected to follow
/ the good example by sending in
. money to buy bread and shoes for
2100 needy families and milk for
$500 hungry .babies.
Physicians, dentists, BARRIERS
and lawyers have offered the
strikers free. service. Actors give
benefit performances. Theaters,
moving picture shows, drug stores
and other business men give their
profits on certain days. Teachers
feed and clothe the little tots they
see coming to school thinly clad
and hungry. Collections are taken
up wherever men and women gath
erin workshops as well as wom-
ems clubs. The exclusive NO
Vote, No Tax" league, college stu
dents, teachers, ministers, have all
helped. a.
Unions send in donations by the
thousands. Business men Of
prominence have appealed to the
police to treat the strikers more
leniently.
Mrs. Frances Squire Potter, one
of the nations leading suffragists,
and Miss Katherine Conan, the
Wellesley historian, came west to
help the strikers. Hotels have uni
versally refused to house strike
breakers, and the manufacturers
have had to lodge them in their
factories.
Despite the hearty support in
these many ways those in charge
at the Wopen's Trade Union
league headquarters, 215 Lasalle
street, say there is urgent need for
more and make a general appeal
TO the country at large
How did it start?
A little Jewish girl led 16 of her
fellow workers out on October Z.
Crushed under unbearable condi-
lions, the workers needed but the
word to strike. They came out of
one shop after another until $4,000
had quit work, one-third of them
