CLOTHING WORKERS WENT BACKHIN SHADOW
OF ANOTHER STRIKE, SAYS NEW REPUBLIC

gets starvation wage from clothing
manufacturers and violence from the
police is pictured in an article,
Cheap Clothes and Nasty" in the
New Republic this week.
t'The clothing workers of Chicago
go back to their employers in the
shadow, as it were, of another
strike it is stated. ct was said pub
icly in the early days of the strike
that plans were already made to re-
new the struggle within year if the
workers were defeated.
"The men and women who are
COINS back to work these holiday
weeks, bitter and starved though
they may be, are not defeated in
spirit. They have known for few
months the joy of battle and the ex-
hilarating hope of victory. And, after
all, the misery involved in no wages
for few weeks or a few months is
not so much greater than the misery
of trying to live on miserably made
quate wage year after year.
eff one must starve there are COM
pensations in starving in fight for
freedom that are not to be found in
starving for an employers profits.
Chicago should be reminded of
the fact that a controversy settled by
starvation is still unsettled. A peace
that will last has not yet been reach
ed, and preparedness for the next
strike is the question of the hour in
the clothing trade of Chicago"
There are in Chicago the same sort
of "dishonorable slopshops" that
Charles Kingsley in London called
makers of cheap clothes and
nasty" He charged slavery, star
vatioT and waste Of life" were the
cost of ready-made clothes. The New
Republic comment on Chicago ready
made clothes is:
CHEAP clothes and nasty they
remain to this day. Anyone who re-
views the. long history of overwork

world are worth the misery that is
sewed into them.
Before city council committee in
controvertible testimony of pay en-
velOpeS showed weekly earnings of
$240 for 80 hours work, $2.17 for %
hours work, $124 for II hours work,
$1.23 for Ii hours work, all of which
gave convincing proof of the justice
of the workers demands. The only
answer of the employers to this tes-
timony was that the lowest earnings
did not represent full weeks work,
an answer which overlooks the fact
that a full weeks work at less than
cents an hour would hardly net a
living wage"
Hart, Shaffner & Marx have sign
ed an agreement with the union, it is
noted. The whole clothing trade will
be a dirty mess until the Kuppen-
heimers, Rosenwalds and Linden
thals of the Wholesale Clothiers'
assn agree to deal with their work.
ers as Hart, Shaffner & Marx are
doing.
Another significant fact about the
present strike has been the opposi-
ton of the mayor of Chicago to the.
clothing workers and his acquies-
cence in the unfair treatment of the
strikers and strike sympathizers by
the police. AS is usual in such cases,
the strikers have been charged with
violence, but real violence may also
be charged to, the police themselves
and the hired 'gun-men' employed by.
the manufacturers.
SOME of the girl strikers arrested:
were too young to be booked in the
police stations and were finally taken
as delinquent girls to the Juvenile
Detention home. And yet the police
were afraid of the violence of these
young girls!'

Washington, March 2.-The
President told Chairman Flood,
of the House foreign affairs COM
mittee, today that he would con-
sent to no compromise on the
armed ship issue, and that he de-
sired direct vote on the resoIu-
ton warning Americans off be!Iig-
erent armed ships.
1t is reported that ten members
of the foreign affairs committee
yesterday favored reporting out
the McLemorc warning resolution,
and nine were against it.
representative Flood said shat
he believed that the foreign af-
fairs committee would agree to-
day on some resolution acceptable
to the President.
At the opening of the Senate,
Senator Stone proposed an ao-
journment to take the Senate out
OF a recess in which it has been
working, so as to clear the parlia-
mentary situation for a vote on
the Gore warning resolution. Stone
made the suggestion after a con-
ference of the administration lead
ers, who decided that the House
situation was so complicated that
something must be done to relieve
the situation.
Senator ollie James, of Ken
lucky, today said: at has been
decided to bring the resolution up
as soon as possible, but probably
not today"
