On the Northwest Side Miss Bessie
Abramovitz, chairman of the North

orders for 10000 to be out at o'clock
this afternoon. The northwest branch
of Kuppenheimer will be called out at

She declared that 100 per cent of
workers in the firms of Rosenwald &

Rosenthal, Continental Clothiers, and
Kuh, Nathan & Fischer had come out
on call. Employees of Mayer Bros.
walked out to find the police had re-

of bluecoats with two mounted police

''The claim of the manufacturers
that the workers are not striking is
ridiculous" Sidney Hillman told a
Day Book reporter They are deceiv-.

the public. The manufacturers know
by this time that we control the
workers in the shops, in fact control
everything in the clothing industry,

of Martin P. Isaacs, attorney for the
Manufacturers assn, and they are
made out of whole cloth. The stu

Union officials explain, the fact that
strike orders are being issued at diff
ferent times by the statement that
they haven't had hall space to accom-
odate shop meetings of all workers
On appeals from several manufac-
turers, police reserves were sent to
factories in West Division st. and in

would tour the country and make

The strike is said to be the largest
in the history of the country, with the
exception of the walkout of garment
workers in New York city, and is the
result of intolerable conditions that
the bosses are declared to have inn
posed upon the workers in the past
five years.

MAYOR DEFTES FOES
TO GET HIM OFF THE
STUMP IN CAMPAIGN
Declares He VIII Fight for
Clean Government in Phila-
delphia SO Long as There
Is Life in His Body
APPEARANCE A SURPRISE
Arrives Unexpectedly at Two Frank
lin Party Meetings in West
Philadelphia

Mayor Blankenburg sprang another
surprise on the voters last night when
no appeared unannounced at the Frank
I'm party meetings held in West Phila-
delphia In two fiery addresses at SD
street and Haverford avenue and at 5lst
street and Baltimore avenue. the Mayor
challenged the Organization to get him
of the stump, and declared that he will
remain in the fight for good government
as long as there is life in his body.
The Mayor answered the charge made
by Thomas y. Smith, Organization can
didate for Mayor, that the Blankenburg
administration was miserable" by point
ing out the improvements, such as port
development. abolition Of grade crossings
and high-speed transit lines which were
started during his regime.
I'VE did more in four years than they
were able to do in 20 years." said the
Mayor,
The Mayor again made a strong plea
for Independent support for Judge Morris
Dalett for reelection as Judge of the
Orphans Court, and accused Dave"
Lane of plotting for ten years to oust
Judge Dallett.
For 10 years." he said, Dave Lane
has been sharpening his knife for Judge
Dallett Lanes spleen was aroused when
Judge Dallett discharged a tipstaff who
had been appointed because of his in
fiuence. II strikes me that such hatred.
such despicable tactics is carrying poll
tics a little bit too far.
Dave Lane is overstepping himself
when he drags gang politics into the ju-
dicial arm of the government Dave Lane
expects he will be able to replace Judge
pallett with McCurdy. who voted for the
gas steal OF 1905 You decent citizens
must repudiate such tactics at the polls
by re-electing Judge Dallett."
George d. Porter independent candi-
date for Mayor, appeared on the stump
with the Mayor, and later spoke at meet
ings at 1884 Woodland avenue and at
Hallahan Hall, 402s Lancaster avenue
At all OF the meetings mention of the
name of d. Clarence Gibboney brought
forth boots and jeers from the crowds
Mr.. Porter declared that Smith appears
to be persistent in refusing to answer
his questions. preferring to do his talk
ing through Dave" Lane, John P. Con-
nelly and Gibboney.
