A large meeting of the committees

WOMEN BACK
Up GIRLS IN
THEIR STRIKE

Tacoma women are with the
striking laundry girls in their
fight.
After thorough sitting of the
laundry workers problem and
hearing from both sides Tuesday
afternoon the Tacoma Council of
Women Voters in session in the
Perkins building adopted resolu-
tions of sympathy with the strik-
ers.
II am a widow with five little
children to support and giving all
my time and working hard 1 can
scarcely earn more than 50 for a
weeks work." said Mrs. Halliday,
a striking laundry worker, to the
women.
Mrs. Selma Bidman declared
she had two children to support,
husband dying with tuberculo-
sis in the hospital. and her aver
age wage as laundry worker
has been about $3.50.
James Brock, president of the
laundry workers union, who came
here to organize them, discussed
the issues in the strike.
Walter Visk, secretary of the
local open shop employers asso-
citation, deplored the agitation and
condemned Brock for interfering
in Tacoma's affairs. He insisted
the girls should have settled their
troubles without outside assist
ance.
After hearing all sides the
women took the sides of the girls.
Lieutenant Governor Hart also
spoke, giving a. careful analysis
of the new minimum wage law
and the welfare commission which
will handle it.

The raid of blind pigs by Pros
ecutor Dow has precipitated
discussion as to why the city ad-
ministratiOn has permitted such
apparently flagrant violations of
law to exist and the city is rife
with talk of an Investigation of
the police department..
Commissioner Mills has MAIN
tanned strict silence until today.
This morning however, he said:
81 suppose there will be an in
vestigation and If there Is one l
will welcome 1t. I do not know
of any graft but If there Is any
such thing going on l want to
know it and l will act in a hurry
If there Is an investigation it will
take in everything from the chief
down.
1t was hinted around the city
hall that Mayor Seymour had TAX
en- the matter of the moral con-
ditions in Tacoma up with Mills
but Mills said no formal action
had been brought to his attention.
Just what good an investiga-
tion would do at this time, how
ever, is not apparent. Those in
touch with the situation say that
any such investigation made now
would be a farce and they want
no money spent on anything of
tho kind.
