some Dog Fight.

A dog fight which for blood and
gameness was much more exciting
than any prlzeflght ever staged here
was fought this afternoon about 1:45
on Cottonwood street Just off Court
between a bulldog and an Irish set
ter. The bulldog was the heavier and
the better fighter but the bird dog
was much the gamer and enlisted the
sympathies Of the crowd attracted to
the scene. The animals were finally
separated before any great damage
was done to either.

Mrs. Mousich Is very young; her
cheeks are red as apples, and her hair
the color of straw. Her eyes. as blue
as those Of her youngest baby, were
wet with tears. Her pale-faced hus-
band, with his wounded leg resting on
a chair, sat near the kitchen stove, and
the two detected boarders stood idly
about.
"The grocer told Mrs. Mousich after
to-day he can't give any more credit"
volunteered one Of the men. "She al
ready owes nearly 500, and her man
won't be able to work for long time
She don't know where food comes from
after tomorrow" and the very young
Mrs. Mousich picked up the Oldest baby
and walked the floor.
The little blue kalsomined kitchen,
which was in addition reception room
and parlor, was pitifully neat. Several
gaudy, CLOSED holy pictures" were
hung on the walls, and a geranium
bloomed in the window. But life was
black to young, very young, Mrs. Mou-
SIGH and her sick husband. and the de-
jected boarders.
"Schapiro and Levinson, they carry
us all the time we are on strike, ana
now they can't do II any more They
say the men must give up the strike
and 20 back to work. But my man
can't 90 back to work. So what will l
do" she sobbed. 81 don't know what
will come to us. II was better In the
old country. I didn't have troubles
there. But here all the time 1t IS
trouble" and she put the oldest baby
down, and picked up the youngest VINO
lay shifting on the floor.
The grocery firm OF Schapiro and
Levinson had made the strike possible,
I found. They carried on their books
almost two hundred Of the striking
families, and during the last six weeks
they had fed the strikers. And now
that they could carry them no longer
the strike was about to end. l found
too. that during that time, when the
wives needed money for medicine or to
nav for a doctor for their children, 1t
was the grocer who let them have it.

son, as he weighed out some potatoes
for one Of the strikers wives. we
are with them right through. But we
can't carry them any longer. The com
pany has offered them 81 so cents q
day, and while we feel it isn't enough,
we also feel that with conditions as
they are at present they ought to go
back. Every day food is increasing in
price. A month ago we paid whole

we ordered a shipment at So so bar

factory, and even then we never have
one penny to spend for a good time.
"All Of it goes just to live. And what
do we live for, anyway? don't know"
she smiled bitterly. "In the mornings
for breakfast my man gets a half
pound Of meat, because he must keep
up strength TO work, and for the chill
dren and me there is bread and coffee.
At noontime we have bread and coffee
again. and at night time we have soup.
And if there is cabbage in the soup
there is no potatoes. You know how
it is, all Of you. We don't even buy
butter for our children's bread.

attention to him. Mrs. Krousch was
arrested and released later by the
Mayor.
| knocked at the back door Of Mrs.
Krousch's tenement. II isn't etiquette
to use the front door at Battle Row.
A tall, blond man, with long, very
long, yellow mustaches, ushered me
into the warm, tiny kitchen. Five or
six other men stood about the door,
a short-necked little woman, with a
black coat and blue muffler, stood in
the middle Of the room, with a child
in her arms. Another woman, tall and
angular, stood over the stove stirring
a pot. Two little children tugged at
her skirts and third hung on to the
legs of one of the men. In the corner,
near the window, another woman car
rying two children, one unborn, chided
two other little ones who chung to her
apron.
They all stared at me distrustfully,
and finally the tall blond man asked:
Are you from the company" And
then, assured that | wasn't, he asked
me to sit down. The little short woman
explained that she was a friend and had
stopped in when she learned Mrs.
Krousch had been in trouble. Mrs.
Krousch went on with her stirring
without looking up from the stove.
"She doesn't speak English the friend,
Mrs. Panko, explained.
Then suddenly the tall woman poured
forth a torrent of words in Hungarian,
and the neighbor interpreted them in
her faulty English. She told how she
and the other women had gone over
to the Liebg works to beg the higher
paid mechanics who had not Joined the
strike TO quit for the sake of the poor

struck several Of them and Of the fore

told of their visit TO the wives Of the
higher paid workers.

Then Mrs. Krousch turned to her
stirring again. :,
