CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-Private slug
gers in labor are thing of the past
in Chicago. The time when the mas
ters Of industry can recruit ex-con-
victs from the dregs of the under
world to go out on the streets of the
city to murder and MAIN men and
women, girls and boys on strike for
little more bread-this time has
passed forever.
That is the meaning of action fore
ed through the Chicago city council
by it's two battling Socialist aldermen.
This is a victory in the halls of gov
ernment, of the nations second larg-
est city, that should inspire and en-
courage the battered but not beaten
forces of labor in all the cities of the
land.
When the private armies of the ex-
pIoiters have been mustered out. be-
cause the growing power of labor de-
mands it, then organized toi! is near
ultimate and complete victory.
Hundreds of special police, private
detectives as they are called, were
sworn in Immediately 10000 garment
workers declared war on Chicago's s
clothing barons. They inaugurated a
reign of terror, with the passive con-
sent of the regular Chicago police
force, that reused the best fighting
blood of the strikers.
The two Socialist aldermen went
on the picket line with the strikers
and spoke at their meetings. Alder
man William E. Rodriguez, who is a
lawyer, helped handle the strike cases
as hundreds after hundreds were ar
rested.
Strikers by the hundreds were bail
ed out of filthy police dungeons and
jury cases demanded. In one in
stance so many arrests were made,
SO many strikers-men and girls
were jammed into the enclosed police
automobiles, that the victims had to
break the windows to get air or suf-
focate.
SITUATION DESPERATE
| 1t was a desperate situation that
confronted the strikers when Alder
man Rodriguez introduced his resolu-

dermen are always in favor of inves-

numbers among its members the 9th.
err Socialist alderman, John c. Ken.
nedy.
This committee found that it had
stumbled into real investigation OF
strike. The city's chief of police
was called on the carpet with his first
assistant, who had direct charge OF
the strike.
These usually arrogant police heads
/ were forced to admit that they con

police protection" They confessed
they had not even thought Of con
sulting with the union officials.
The first acquaintance the strik
ers had with the police and the
bosses sluggers was when they were
shot at and clubbed; when the motor
cycle and mounted police rode into
and dispersed their peaceful picket
lines, when they were either sent to
police station or hospital.

Noted Rabbi Objects to Making
Women Breeding Machines.
He Condemns Churches fol-
Urging Soldiers to Wed.

New York, Jan. 29.-Rabbi Stephen
Wise. in a speech at the Fifth avenue
suffrage shop, uttered a scathing de-
nunciation of the churches of Europe
for their policy of urging soldiers to
marry before going to war, IL not al
ready wed. The women Of Europe.
he said. ought to rise in revolt against
these institutions which thus propose
to turn them into human breeding
machines.
"Of all the infamous. immoral in
facilities this thing Of promoting war
marriages is the worst" he said.
What does it mean? 1t means that
the churches of God are adjuring
women to bear children, one out Of
every five, to be killed on the battle
field. one out of every ten to be hope
lessly MANNED.
I'VE who believe in eugenics, let us
stop and think what sort Of babies are
likely to be born in the midst of the
carnage that possesses Europe now. I
wish the women would give the
churches what they deserve for this.
That bodies calling themselves religi-
GUS can take so vile a stand is almost
unthii..-able. but it is So
Doctor Wise said that he was for
suffrage because he believed that
women would bring about at least the
beginning Of peace.
Chicago Woman Also Objects.
Chicago, Jan. 29.-"Revolt against
having children merely because q
kaiser, a king or a sultan believes the
population should be increased!"
That is Mrs. Havelock Ellis advice
to the women of Europe. upon whom
will depend the restoration of the
census figures in the countries now at
war.
NO woman should be asked to have
a child unless she really wants it, de-
clared the lecturer. TT is not the
province of a government to arrange
marriages and the birth rate 1t is
impudent to say the least. woman
has no duty to her government in this
respect. 1t is false sense Of patriot
ism that would repopulate any country
at the expense of the souls of its
women"
Mrs. Ellis took a verbal slap at her
sister lecturer, Miss Christobal Pank-
hurst.
1T is absurd for her to preach
against the kaiser when she is using
his own methods in her own cause, -
she said.
