Attorney for Men Says Sixteen

PUBLIC OPINION INFLUENCED

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE havoc
wrought among the 10000 shopmen.
whose strike against the so-called
Hartman lines in 1911 was lost, was
sketched statistically yesterday be-
fore the United States commission on

The witness was Frank. Comerford,
for many years attorney for the men.
One, thousand question blanks were
sent at random to the strikers thirty
four months after the strike. His
figures, Mr.. Comerford explained,
applied to these 1000 men, and he
thought that a fair social survey of
the whole number could be obtained
by multiplying his figures by thirty!

had to sell their furniture and 10 per cent

year. The witness claimed that he had
traced sixteen cases of suicide 70 the
strike. and nine cases OF insanity.
