JURY FREES TWO BOYS IN LOSS
OF BREAD" CASE

One day last week, Avis Yiesor, a
grocer at 1149 w. 18th ST., missed
nine loaves of bread from the box
where it was left by a baking COM
pany in front of the store. So he
got his gun readyland waited for the
thief.
Early last Monday morning two
young fellows stopped before the
store, one of them very near the
bread box.
Yiesor rushed out, pointed a gun
at the suspected robbers and told
them to hold up their hands. Then
he called policeman. He had lost
As cents worth of bread and was
angry.
The two boys, Joseph Redo and
Joseph Binoch of 2313 W. Division
St, were taken to the 22d street po-
lice station and locked up. They said
that they were beaten by the police
in an attempt to wiring a confession
that they had stolen nine loaves of
bread, worth 45 cents.
The men on a jury in Judge Ma
honey's court spent just two minutes
In signing their names on a verdict
of not guilty.
The boys have been out of work
since the Deering Harvester Works
laid off a great number of men last
summer.

GARMENT WORKERS HERE MAY
STRIKE NEXT WEEK
A general strike of lady's garment
workers may be called in this city
next week.
The Cloak Makers Union at a joint
board meeting last week sanctioned
the proposal to ca1 general strike
to organize the garment workers of
the city.
Monday morning a Genearl Execu-
tive Board meeting of the nterna-
tional Union of Lady's Garment
Workers will convene at the New
Hotel Morrison to discuss the propos-
ed strike. Whether or not it will be
called is expected to be decided be-
fore the monster mass meeting which
will be held in the Coliseum Tuesday
night.
The tsrike, if called, will only apply
to the makers of women's garments
and will not conflict in any way with
the organization campaign which is
being made in this city by the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers Union.
For years the horrible working
conditions and the poor wages paid
to workers in this city by the cloth
ing manufacturers have troubled the
powerful eastern unions. The firms
wit whom they have working agree
yments are obliged to compete with
Chicago firms who can undermine
their prices by cheap labor. Now the |
eastern unions have sent representa-
tives here to organize the workers
that the working conditions and |
wages may be improved in all the |
great clothing manufacturing CEN
tiers.
Rose Schneiderman, general or
ganizer of the international, is in Chi
cago to assist in the work.

eral strike because it seems to be the |
only way we can organize Chicago /"
