When the committee on schools,
fire and police, which was delegated
to investigate the strike, met this
morning it passed the buck to a sub
committee chosen from it's members.
Aid. Martin ]. Healy, who seemed
the fairest to the girls, was not
chosen on this subcommittee,
though he is member of the regular
committee
The committee is as follows: Block,
chairman; Harding, Bergen, Kjelland-
er and Mayer.
Attorney Farrell was the first wit
ness and told of the conditions lead
ing up to the strike.
Harding and HIGHLANDER seemed de-
sirous of knowing as to whether a
strike really existed or not, and Aid.
Henry Bergen silenced them in a
speech in which he said that whether
there was strike or not wasn't the
question, as it was police unfairness
they were investigating.
Mabel Wambaugh and Ora Duree
testified to the treatment they receiv-
ed from the police.
Elizabeth Ma1oney and Ellen Gates
Starr also were on the stand.
Capt P ]. Gibobns of the Central
Detail argued in defense of the police.
He caused a roar of laughter when
he said that no peaceful women were
arrested.
Late this afternoon Mabel Burke,
Mabel Schwartze, Cora Steen, Isa-
belle Smith, Mrs. Anna Timeus and
Lena Rushton were arrested by Cops
Kerker, Wolfe and Sasstnan.
Lena Rushton fell as she was being
taken out Of the patrol wagon and
injured her knee. She was allowed to
lie on the sidewalk until picked up
by the girls.

DEVELOPMENTS COME FAST IN
MATTRESSES STRIKE

WAIT RESSES' STRIKE
From the developments of the day
in the Mattresses strike against Hen
rici's restaurant it was evident that
crisis was near.
While the city council committee
investigating the strike was opening
its inquiry into the brutal methods of
the police, both John D. Farrell, coun-
sci for the girls, and Willard Nc
Even, attorney for the Restaurant
Keepers Association, were seeking
injunctions in the Circuit Court.
McEwen filed his petition before
Judge John P. McGoorty. In his
papers he claimed that a boycott
against the Heinrich restaurant exist
ed and for the first time admitted that
the business of the restaurant had
been affected by the strike.
He also claimed that Heinrich was
very kind to his employees and that in
the last five years $25, 200 had been
distributed among them as bonuses.
Farrell then prepared a petition,
which was chuck full of steam. He
will ask that the Heinrich Restaurant
Co., VIM. Collins, manager of the res
taurant; John Vegelsang, president
of the Restaurant Keepers Associa-
ton, and Chief Of Police Gleason be
restrained from interfering with the
right of the girls, to peacefully picket,
a right that has been affirmed by the
Illinois Appellate Court.
He charged that the Restaurant
Keepers Association had conspired
to wreck Mattresses Union, Local
1874, so that the bosses might control
the labor market.
He recited the story of the brutal
ity of the police on duty in the strike
and cited the cases of Mabel Wam-
baugh and Ora Duree, whose arms
were twisted by policemen.
The bill also told of the 116 arrests
that have been made since the be-

Piedmont Fruit
Growers Are Out
For Organization

Charlottesville. Va. July 25.---At an
enthusiastic conference Of Piedmont
fruit growers. held in the Masonic
temple, the question of STANDARDIZED
ton Of grades OF fruit and fruit pack
ages was first taken up and the discus
sion turned at once upon the project
OF forming fruit growers union I'M
der which growers could not only
standardize their pack, but enforce
the grading and packing upon all
who wished to sell under the union
label. Without exception. the grow
ers present endorsed the principle of
attempting to form a union, and a
committee of five was named to per-
feet definite plan for organization.
1t appeared desirable that the organ
i3ation should not only control and
standardize the pack but undertake
to sell the fruit for the growers If
they so desired.
A finance committee Of fifteen--five
from Charlottesville and ten from the
county--was appointed to canvass for
subscriptions to erect a cold storage
plant in this city. to act as a reservoir
to relieve the strain on the market
and on transportation facilities.
