as to. the hardships that the garment
workers have endured to secure liv-
ing wages. You already Know the
story of the disaster and tragedy Of
! the Triange lShirt Waist makers. You
al remember their struggles in New
York, Philadelphia, Chicago. and is
now going on in Cleveland.
You also know of the miserable CON
ditions of work and low wages these
people have to endure, to get mea-

unless so marked.
We to show you how these laws
can be eyaded. will just say that the

have in operation an outside factory
where they employ women and girls
in making pants also on the piece

and that after all these years Of toll
and suffering we have found that they
have been making laws for the rich
and the poor working people have
gained nothing.
Now really. DO you ever expect
