Don't stick that dollar back in your
pocket because you think the strike
is over and the clothing workers need
no more money! Send it in to The
Day Book strike fund.
The strike is only over in spots.
Some shops made fairly decent Of
fer to their workers and the workers
accepted. But two-thirds OF the
strikers are still on strike, as the ma
iority of the employers have not
come through with the compromise
offer with Lamm's, Myers, the En-
pire and some small shops. There
are a hundred shops still battling the
workers. They refuse to make the
concessions in hours and pay that
Lamm's and the others made.
Never was money so needed by the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers as it
is needed now. Never would a dol
lar accomplish so much as it can ac-
compish now in the hands OF the
clothing worker leaders.
With partial victory gained, the
workers are now drawn in line for
the finish fight that will probably de-
termine the making or breaking of
the chance of Chicago's oppressed
clothing workers to overthrow the
woke of merciless bosses who care
nothing for lives, but only for dollars.

HOW THE GARMENT STRIKE
SITUATION LINES UP
Kuh, Nathan & Fisher today took
back $50 members of Amalgamated
Clothing Workers who have been on
strike. An understanding without
signed agreement was reached yes
terday between the shop manage
ment and the shop committee of the
union.
The 48-hour week replaces the 81
hour and. 54-hour week which OBJ
tanned before the strike. Wage scales
were adjusted so strikers now are
to get the same pay for the shorter
week that they formerly got for the
longer week.
Sidney Hillman, president A. c. W.,
expects to leave Chicago in one
week. In that time it is believed all
shops where strike has been on will
have made arrangements with union
shop committees for 48-hour week.
Both sides to the strike admit it
has been costly. Shops in the Whole
sale Clothiers' assn have lost Gus
toners who have gone elsewhere for
their seasons purchases. The Scotch
Wooden Mills, it is known, stood a
loss of $4,000 the first month of the
strike and this is believed to have
doubled

clothes, all felt the loss of prestige
gained through advertising which

heimers alone spend $175,000 a year
