CLOTHING WORKERS WENT BACK IN 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.
"The clothing workers OF Chicago
go back to their employers in the
shadow, as it were, of another
strike, it is stated. cit was said pub
licly 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
going back to work these holiday
weeks, bitter and starved though
they may be, are not defeated in
spirit. They have known for a 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 a miserably made
quate wage year after year.
IF 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 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
walton and waste of life" were the
cost of ready-made clothes. The New
Republic comment on Chicago ready
made clothes is:

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
$2.40 for 80 hours work, $2.17 for %
hours work, $1.24 for II hours work,
$1.23 for 10 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 full weeks work at less than
8 cents an hour would hardly net
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 Strlke mas been the OppOSl-
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 gunner 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!'

Gas. Company Branching Out.

The public utilities commission au.

100000 West Virginia corporation with
headquarters at Charleston to issue
$9,OOO,OO0 in common capital stock
and $7,5OO,OOO in 20 year six per cent
bonds. The stock and bonds are to
be used in taking over the properties
of the United Fuel Gas Co., also a
West Virginia corporation. The com.

ment in the field of candidates
for delegates to the national conven-

filing declarations of candidates.. The
innovation was furnished by Frank S.

candidate for vice president. He
declared himself candidate for dele

tional Convention at st. Louis, and
said he favors Champ Clark as first
choice, and -tormer Governor James
E. Campbell for second choice. Inas-
much as Clark has not filed any dec.
laration of candidacy the provision of
the constitution has not been complied
with and Monnett's papers are held
to be open to legal objection. While
the Secretary of State, as chief elec-
tfon officer, would make no statement,
the assumption is that he will not be
permitted to remain a candidate if
the point is raised.

Keifer's Presence Attracts Many.

Argument was heard by the Su-
preme Court on the mandamus suit
brought in an effort to revive the
| Sprague congressional redistricting
law which was rejected at referen-
dunn election last fall. Attorney Gen.
eral Turner appeared in defense Of
the referendum verdict. Sherman T.
Mcpherson, of Cincinnati, former
United States district attorney, and J.
Warren Keifer, of Springfield, former
congressman, contended that the ref
erendum vote was invalid. Their atti-
tude was based on the assumption that
the legislature, in apportioning the
state into congressional districts, acts
under a mandate of the federal con-
stitution. "The supreme test as to the
application of the Ohio referendum
either by petition or by vote of the
people," said General Keifer, "is
whether or not it would limit or tend
to limit the legislature of Ohio in per-
forming its duty and in exercising the
power absolutely imposed on it by the
constitution and laws of the United
States. If in any way the referendum
would have such effect, it is wholly
inapplicable, as are all state constitu-
tions and laws having such effect"
Many spectators visited the court
room particularly to hear General Kei-
fer Despite his 80 years of age, he
presented a vigorous and impassioned
appeal to the court Attired in his
! usual dress suit, with his white hair,
long beard and massive frame, and in
terspersing discussion of legal techni-
calities with tales of former days
when he was speaker of the national
house of representatives and knew
personally most of the country's polit-
ical leaders, he was ar interesting Wis
itor in the courtroom, which usually
is the scene only of an austere judi
cial procedure and formality.
