Lockwood, the Socialist alderman for
the First ward: the court has taken
away our right to go on the streets
surrounding the factory. We cannot
speak TO the employees without being
in danger of arrest The six girls who
were put in jail did no more than ask
the strikers to join them. Some cpl
thets might have been used by some OF
the strikers since the court issued the
injunction, but the girls who are al
work are not angels. They have pro
yoked the strikers by calling them
names
When the girls were arraigned In
the circuit court room before Judge
Knappen the crowd in court applauded
the girls. The Judge came out red
headed. He elected two or three
spectators and said that the next per.
son who applauded would be sent 10
