Girl Striker Makes Touching Appeal
 To Society Folk
CspecIaI from united Pressl

N0RCCAaA OHALC0 EECSSJ
 New York, Jan 2O-Society men and women who go down into the sums sometimes and get an artificial view of the life there. admitted today they hadn't slept well after listening to the story told last night by little Rosie Schneiderman, the boss of the laundry workers strike, to the diners of the fashionable Twilight Cub.
 In evening gowns and full dress, wo- men and men of society listened to this child and then gave her $500 and promised more for the strikers.
 Rosie, after the fashion of the East Side, did not speak in flower terms. She called a spade a spade
 You folks come slummin','' she said, ''and then go back and say us girls can get along on the wage we make. But you never tried to live on $4 and s a week There's a girl I know. She's been married and she's got a baby she loves. She gets $5 a week and I found her in a three room flat that cost her $S a month. She told me there wasn't, any need of fuel cause she only gets home in time to crawl into bed, so she can get enongh rest to face another days work. For the same reason, she didn't need light. Clothes? Huh! She never expected to have any.
 Some of the girls do things that are bad and you blame 'em-you who don't know what 1t is to want any thing in the world. They know want and they're not to blame when they go bad-I can't blame 'em."
