I'VE know that women and girls
have been arrested who have not vio-
lated any law, and we are certain no
evidence can be produced that these
girls are lawbreakers.
while these NUMEROUS arrests
have been made of working girls,
clothing manufacturers have DELHI
erately violated the law every day
without interference by the police.
Our committee will push action to
a definite end in one specific case in
which Ellen Gates Starr and strik-
ers saw man slugged while three
policeman looked on, did not inter-
fere and made no arrests. A John
Doe warrant for the sl1gger has been
sworn out. We shall test the rights
of police to act as powerless bystand-
ers while strikers are beaten by slug
gers in the employ of manufacturers.
eve have no apologies for our
course in going on the picket line
with the strikers. They have asked
arbitration. The manufacturers have
not replied to the offer of Pres. Hill
man for arbitration in a letter ten
days before strike was called.
ID Sixty per cent of the strikers are
women and girls. At Springfield we
asked for a minimum wage commits
sion, an eight-hour day and a better
child labor law to protect these wom-
en- and girls. This legislation was
refused"
These are summaries of sworn
statements suppressed by the big
newspapers which yearly get hun
dreds of dollars in ad money from
clothing manufacturers and stores:
