Mrs. Woodrow Wilson,
Sea Girt, N. j.
Dear Madam
For five weeks 1900 women and
girls employed at the Perth Amboy
branch of the United Cigar Manu-
featuring Company in this city, have
been on strike against conditions
that are an indictment against boast
ed twentieth century civilization.
We, as a committee representing
these girls, have exhausted all hon
orable means at u command to
bring about a favorable settlement,
and, as a last resort, call upon you
to use your good influence with your
distinguished husband In order to
compel this heartless combination to
grant some concessions whereby
these defenseless and abused moth
ers /of future generations may be
able to live as decent and respect
able American women should live.
1--WE are arranging for a confer
ence with Governor Wilson, at a
time convenient to him and, knowing
that he always lends a patient ear
to the oppressed among the working
classes, we feel confident that when
he hears the story of the treatment
received and the meager wages paid
these girls, he will do all in his
power to adjust the grievances.
1--WE are appealing to you knowing
that the request of a mother is al
ways given consideration, and es-
pecially so when the gentler sex is
involved in such large numbers, in a
manner that seriously affects the
future condition Of society. The
story we have to tell is too long to
cover in a communication so we will
close, trusting you will give us your
careful and earnest consideration
and, if possible, be present when the
conference takes place. \
VERY respectfully yours,
