The special officers in the employ

crowd of about $50 strikers yesterday
afternoon near the factory while ae-
eompanying the strikers TO THEN
homes and might have been roughly

An attack by strikers last might
was responsible for an accident to
the automobile of Adolph Hensler, of

Rightly injured.
When asked by a reporter for the
Evening Star today what his opinion
was of the report of former Senator
Colby. following his investigation OF
the differences which have caused
the strike and which was published /
in fun in the Evening Star last night, /
DR. Rosenwasser declared it was
nminently fair for the most part. He |
showed comprehensive knowledge !
Of the situation. Some Of the general
statements made by the senator. as
for instance that the contractors /
should be eliminated, the doctor said ,
he did not agree with. On the whole /
though. he said, the report was a |
very truthful statement of the CON /
hitinns existing in the garment in !
-lustry.
The Rev. Bismarck J. Coltorti. who
has been taking an active interest In !
the strike since its inception, also de-
tiared that Mr.. Colby's report was
wonderful considering the short time
in which it was compiled That 1t
was a truthful statement of condi-
tons he said he knew from his own
personal Investigations in behalf of
the strikers. Abraham Stiglitz, the
local strike leader, who returned from
Philadelphia this noon, also made the .
same comment concerning the sena-
tors report.
In one clause Mr.. Colby speaks of
a woman garment worker making $40
a week He was evidently misin-
formed on that point" said Stiglitz.
THE highest price paid to a woman |
garment worker in this city is Sc |
8 week" he added. THAT is the only /
statement in the entire report that is
not absolutely correct" the leader /
declared
