women WORKERS OUT
FOR THEIR RIGHTS
Performing Laborious Tasks for
Small Pay All Strike and
Get Better Terms,

One of the incidents of the recent
London strike is graphically described
by Reynolds newspaper, the great
English radical sheet, as follows:
"Bermondsey is the center of a.
women's strike, which has brought
$4,000 women out, and closed down
dozens of big factories across the
river. There are more women work.
ers in Bermondsey than in any other
part of London. The strike is an
offshoot of the great dock dispute
At the height of the Garments dis
pute some firms closed, owing to the
impossibility of getting raw material.
The women. thus turned away seem
to have caught the strike fever and
determined that they would not go
back until they too had got a redress
of grievances. Concessions are be-
ing won from employers right and
left, and already 5000 women have
gone back to work on much better
terms 1t was hign time something
was done for the weak and unor-
ganized mass of women laborers The
average weekly earnings of a woman
lr one of these damned tin box works
Is put at 8 shillings. Hundreds OF
girls get even less than that for a
weeks work. At the jam works work
Is really work. The women have to
carry about all day three gallon Jars
full of hot pulp"
Miss Mary Macarthur and other
leaders of the National Federation
are negotiating with the employers
separately. Among the concessions
already made are these: Messrs
P1nks, the jam makers have granted
shilling advance all around; ten
per cent Oh all piece rates, and a
larger number employed in the
Grown Cork Works, in the same dis
trict were to have increases of from,
I'd. to one shilling a week.

JUST FOR PRACTICE.

of the city hall-also preventing
scores of deaths by making the city

ing hundreds of thousands of dol
lars on paving and other projects
where our predecessors had INDUCED
in the gentle art of highway rob-
bery-also sending a representative
to the United States congress-and
other equally ludicrous practices too
numerous to mention.
In Flint, Mich, we nominated q
ticket and practiced launching the
old parties up Salt Creek under q
full head of steam-also defeating
the commission form of government
also bringing the capitalists up with
a. cruel Jerk by compelling them to
undergo IT, painful operation of
obeying the law-togetner with other
practices which are just as hilarious
as these.

Graniteville. ILL.,, Cardwell. Miss,
O'Fallon, Ill.,, Girard, Kan, Victor,
Colo, Muscatdne, Ia, and various
other places. re nominated tickets
and practiced side-splitting antics
similar to those enumerated above.
AS our vote continues to persistent
ly grow, it looks very much like these
stunts would contiue-and increase.

can out of the Socialist movement,
