TROUV|LLE CO.'S
GIRL EMPLOYEES
CO ON STRIKE
Eighty Garment Workers De-
mand More Wages and
Fewer Hours.

From eighty to eighty-five young
the Trouville Garment Company, at
Astor and Austin streets, went out
on strike today There were 120
women employed in the factory, and
according to julius Portnoy, national
organizer of the International Ladies'
Garment Workers Union, their aver
age wage has been about SO a week.
He declared that while a few obtained
as much as 49, most were compelled
to work fifty-two hours eacn week
for from 50 to So. Those VINO are on
strike demand minimum wage of So
and "a forty-eight-hour week. The
controlling owner of the factory is
Louis Blank.
Mr.. Portnoy said that although but
few of the girls employed in the plant
are members of the union, he, aud
Miss Mabel Craig, business agent OF
the local union had been able TO get
the eighty girls out this morning, and
that at a meeting held later at 424
Mulberry street, all of them declared
their intention of joining the union.
Several of the workers have. been
discharged for attending meetings OF
the local, Mr.. Portnoy said, and he
added that the strike would not be
ended until the heads of the concern
agreed to take these girls back.
The company has q factory in New
York city, and yesterday 100 of tho
workers went on strike because Of
the fact that in the Newark plant
none but non-union workers were en-
ployed.
Delegates from the meeting picketed
the streets around the factory today,
but there was no trouble. There are
said to be twenty girls who have re-
fused to leave their jobs. and the
striking girls are trying to get them
TO join the strike. Two policemen, de-
tailed from the F'Nst precinct are
patroling the streets, but have notn-
ing to do, as the strikers are main
tanning perfect order.
In the factory, an employe, who
would not give his name, said that the
strike was called without notice or "a
demand on the part Of the girls, or
any representative of the union. He
declared, however, that only few
of the workers went out, and that
there were plenty of hands at work.
Several girls employed in the place
left last week when Miss Austinia
Eisenstein of 26 Monmouth street,
was discharged for attempting to per-
suade fellow workers to join the
white goods workers union. Declar-
ing that she was handled roughly
when she was discharged, Miss Eisen-
stein made a complaint for assault
and battery against Blank In the
First Precinct Court. Judge Grice,
after a hearing yesterday, dismissed
the case.
