In our own city of Chicago there
have been several suicides lately of
girls and women who couldn't stand

were too strong morally to take the

by the millionaires who have made
their millions on human labor wage
that would permit them to live.
We are familiar with all of these
facts.
The Vice Commission of little
over year ago told of hundreds of
specific cases of girls who had taken
the road thousand times worse than
death because they were afraid to
kill themselves and they. couldn't
stand the slow death of starvation,
and were denied by the millionaires
who made their millions on human
labor, a wage that would permit them

facts.

cold, unheeding eyes upon our broth

Gil and it is freely stated that the
power he once had has sadly
dwindled.
O'Donnen lacks the tact and lead
ership of his predecessor in power
Martin Skinny Madden and it is
thought he cannot Withstand the on
slaught that was made on him fol-
lowing his settlement of the lock-
out by the building bosses and his
subsequent alliance with the Hearst
interests.
One labor leader expressed the
opinion that O'Donnell knew that the
end was nearing and that his severe
treatment of the painters was the
last crack left in the whip.
Upon payment of the fine the
painters delegates will be seated and
the work on buildings controlled by
the Building Construction Employ
ers' Association given to union paint
ers. 1t is now being done by paint
ers' union organized for the purpose
of keeping the union painters out.
Two hundred members of the
