MRS. LILLE CALLS ON RICH JEWS TO STOP
BLOODSHED OF GARMENT STRIKE


BY CARL SANDBURG
"Come with me and hear the Jews
scream. have heard them scream.
"Come and see their blood staining
the pavement. | have seen Jewish
blood.
Two strikers have been killed;
how many more do you want killed."
This is the heart-cry of Frances
Crane Lille in an open letter to the
Jews of Chicago. The letter takes
two inches of newspaper column
space. 1t was sent yesterday after
noon to the editors of all seven of the
big daily newspapers of Chicago. 1t
was printed in pink and green extras
of afternoon newspapers. No morn
ing paper touched a line of it.
Mother of four children of her own,
foster-mother of three adopted chill
dren, this woman, Frances Crane Lii
lie, wanted to reach the soul of Chi
cago. It's mothers cry she sends
out.
Eleven weeks she has gone out al
most every day on the picket lines in
front of garment shops where police
and sluggers have beaten men, boys,
girls and women and where 1900 ar
rests have resulted in no convictions
and no indictments to date, with the
police failing of proof in every jury
trial of strikers.
Owner of a million dollars, gifted
with health and good looks, Mrs. Lii
lie has the open door to all the gay
cites of the social crush.
But instead of rushing to red
dresses and red slippers for the Spa
nish ball next week, she writes to
newspapers about red blood of Jews
scattering the sidewalks of Chicago.
Instead of sitting easy and quiet
with her books and music out at her
beautiful country home, she goes
onto the street at a Kuppenheimer

are Jews. Nearly all of the garment
shops where strike is on are owned
by Jews. Louis and Jonas Kuppen-
heimer, Morris Rosenwald, Alfred
Decker and other names widely adj
vertised in the clothing trade are
among Jews whom Mrs. Lille holds
in part responsible for conditions
that have caused the strike Payrolls
of these and other Jews are the basis
for figures in U. S. labor bureau bull
letin 81 and the Illinois bureau of la
Dor statistics:
''In mems ready-made clothing in
dustry in Chicago in 70 large estab-
Iishments 29.5 per cent of the women
earn less than SIS week, AZ per cent
earn less than So, 53.3 per cent earn
less than 81 a week."
Sixty per cent of the strikers are
women and girls. They want a
union, collective bargaining, chance
for redress against decisions of fore
men and examiners who pass on their
work. The Jews who own the big
garment shops won't arbitrate nor
meet committees from strikers or
citizens. Such is the background
from which Mrs. Lille yesterday sent
this open letter:
Never again call Americans to-
gether to protest against the Russian
government and it's persecution of
the Jews. Jews of Chicago are per-
scouting their poor and defenseIess
co-religionists now. And why? Be-
cause the strikers are fighting for
what they conceive to be liberty.
Come with me and hear the Jews
scream. have heard them scream.
Come and see their blood staining the
pavement. have seen Jewish blood:
1.-TWO strikers have been killed;
how many more do you want killed?

employers have succeeded in terror

STATE AND OTHER TAXES
TO the Editor of The Arizona Repub
linn Dhnnr.;,.

TO the Editor of The Arizona Repub-
Hcan, Phoenix, Arizona.
Sir: My attention has been fire.
quently called to articles published in
the leading daily papers. of the state
purporting to explain to their readers
the reasons why taxes are burdensome
in Arizona.
Invariably the reason assigned is
state taxes" or. in other words, that
proportion of the total tax levied and
collected by the state. Having reached
this point, it is easy to generalize and
ascribe the reason TO expense of main
tanning the numerous commissions
boards, etc.
Were it not for the fact that the
subject of Taxation" has received
such slight study and is so little un-
derstood by the general public, the
sincerity and integrity of many of the
newspapers referred to might be at
least questionableN However, it is not
my desire 70 question their integrity
in this article, but to show the true
conditions from facts and figures com
piled from the records of the State
Tax Commission and State Board of
Equalization.
My first computation classifies the
state tax levy of 1915, as follows:
