story would be worth as much atten- ton if she were not so pretty Bnt there is no reason why the fact that she is pretty should be forgotten She is slender and dark-haired, and her eyes are deep and brown; ana II she had a $40 hat and a slender sklrt she could hold her own on Peacock alley She is the Hone striker Of white goods factory uptown.
 Are you going to beat it away from there?" asked the shipping clerk. impatiently. the third day she spent on duty as picket in front of the fac tory. Because the boss goat IS loose"
 Fannie Socolick is very much Tn earnest She tried to explain to the shipping clerk that she would stay on picket in front of that factory until 10000 odd white goods workers of the city have won their strike Her voice is soft and low, and she has an ap- pealing way of putting her hand on ones coat sleeve and looking up at one. But the shipping clerk was i'm patient He beckoned to the police man.
 This is the one I was tellin' you about" said he. Pinch her
 So Fannie Socolick, twenty years old, pretty and we'll behaved, was ar rested The policeman placed charge of disorderly conduct against her When she faced the magistrate that charge seemed rather unconvincing. He strengthened it.
 she was cussin' out them scabs,' said the policeman.
 Five dollars fine." said the hurried magistrate Next case"
 Fannie Socolick didn't so much mind being arrested or being fined She quite understands that the strike picket must expect such things. But she felt badly at the policeman's charge that she had been "cussing.' She really isn't that sort of girl.
 Tn Russia it is the czar," said she. Here it is the policeman"
 That's sheer prejudice on Fannie's part. No one has ever said the czar knocks down half-grown girls or stands by and laughs while thugs beat them. These charges have been made against the New York policemen in this strike-and in every other strike in the garment making industry in this city during the last half dozen years. Miss Rose Schneidermann is a well-bred, intelligent young woman, who is a leader in the labor move ment here
 "She was knocked down by a po- liceman the other night" said Miss Maud Younger, the San Francisco girl who is in command at the Labor Tenn. pie. where the darkeyed little pickets report for orders. Miss Younger her. self had an experience with the auto crat of the beat. She was arrested for picketing.
 Well go telephone for the law. yers." cried group of excited little kids. Remember, few of these white goods workers are more than twenty years old. Just for that, four more were arrested. They were packed into the patrol wagon in which Miss Yong. CT and the others were singing "The Union Forever" which Is the Mar. seillaise" of the strike
 "Good-by, Miss Younger" shrilled half dozen others. standing on their little toes and waving their handker. chiefs. So they, too, were damned into the crowded wagon More would have been taken, but the driver called to the officers on the pavement:
 Have heart about my horses. ] got load now"
 Three other girls were following a group of "scabs," who were being es- corted to their homes by an officer. They like to find where the "scabs" live. Then the strikers talk to their mothers. It's very likely that the three were tittering unpleasantly as they trailed along
 If you don't go back" said the po- liceman, according to Nils Younger. 'Il shoot you"
 He drew his revolver and placed 1t against the breast of the leader of the trio. It was bluff, of course. and the girls called 1t. It strikes me they were pretty game, considering that they have seen policemen in action
