MOVE OF BIG BOSSES
Only the counsel of their leaders
prevented 800 garment workers from
rushing through a general strike
vote at their mass meeting last
night at Hodcarriers' Hall. The
meeting was packed with all classes
of garment workers from young girls
to tired old men, who see in the
growth of the garment workers or
ganization a chance to throw off the
shackles of the bosses.
For the last six or seven weeks,
since the joint board of garment
workers began their campaign, the
shopowneTs have used every mag

been pressed into service in a vain
effort to crush the spirit of the work
ers.
No wthey are trying a new
scheme. Instead of shouting and
cUrsing at the workers, their fore
men have been instructed to rule by
kindness. They even went so far as
to raise wages in some places.
But last night the futility of their
scheme was clearly shown. The
workers understand that the only
way they can get real permanent i'm
provement is by organization.
Sidney Hillman, newly elected
president of the Garment Workers
District Council, completely dis
sected the scheming and plotting of
the employers association in such a
stirring manner that the workers
cheered him wildly.
Hillman, after reporting the prog
ress of their organization, plunged
right into the new plan of the bosses.
cit must be amusing to you work
ers," he said, this new trick of the
employers. You probably saw into

shops giving orders that no employee
was to be worked over 90 hours a
week, when in the past you've been
working sometimes over 60 hours
and never less than 81 for the same
money.
Fear has gripped the bosses
hearts. They know this organiza-
ton is going to succeed in spite of
their efforts. But we're not going
to be led astray. The march has be-.
gun and nothing can stop us.
ct is only a matter of weeks be-
fore every garment worker in this
city will be organized and then we
can do what we want"
A worker in the hall arose to his
feet and addressed the meeting in
Jewish. His speech stirred the peo-
pie. When he sat down Hillman ex-
planned his speech.
He's pleading for a general strike.
He doesn't believe a series of small
strikes is effective. l don't agree
with him.
81 think small strikes hurt the
shopowners more than a general
walkout. But if you really want to-,
we'll call one tomorrow and have ev-.
cry open shop out by Monday after
noon"
1t was here that the riot of cheer
ing began. Men shouted for strike,
and it was necessary for Hillman to,
talk long and earnestly before the,
workers would subside.

The mystery of the mysterious
stranger still is mysterious mystery.
The mysterious stranger was ar
rested in the Blackstone Hotel last
night at the request of Miss Edith
Newcomb, whose previous condition
of servitude also is unknown.
Miss Newcomb says the myster-
ious strangers name is Jack Lewis
and that he is her lawfully welded,
Observation-Disclosures husband.
The mysterious guy says his name
is not Jack Lewis, and that he never
was anyone's husband. But he re-
fuses to tell what his name is, where
he lives or where he came from. Il
Miss Newcomb says She met the
mysterious gink in the st. Francis
Hotel, San Francisco, September 2,
1911, and that she fell so. madly in
love with him that she married him
the next day.
She says they went to Portland,
Ore, on their honeymoon, and that
there the mysterious stranger desert
ed her, thoughtlessly forgetting to
desert about So, 500 worth of her jew
elry.
She says she never saw him again
until last night when she was in the
Pompeiian room at the Congress Ho-
tel, when she saw him walk into the |
room.
She says she went over and spoke |

herself and her sister Blanche, and
that later, on her suggestion, they all
went over to the Blackstone Hotel for |

1t was at the end of the dinner |
that she had the mysterious gink ar
rested. He was taken to he South |

held there pending advices from

The mysterious gink is about as

'Why won't you tell your name?"

There is only way by which the
mysterious gink can be made to talk
like human being. That is if you
ask him if he really is the husband
of Miss Newcomb, with the emphasis
on the really.
Then he bursts forth into song and
poetry about how he always did hate
women anyway, and how little he
believes anything that any woman
ever says.
Also he hints darkly that Miss
Newcomb ought to see doctor about
her head.
Miss Newcomb is not much less a
mystery than the mysterious gink at
that.
She lives at the Hotel LaSalle. The
hotel people say she is an actress.
'I'm not an actress" she said, to-
day. Pm not anything just live
