New history has been made

The NEGROES RIGHT

, Within the past two weeks
hundreds Of men. women.
boys and girls have paraded
the streets as strikers, yelling
seemingly for the sake Of yell

AIDES, especially those of the
packing house employees, were
many Negroes who were also
yelling but who looked, in
spite of their yells, as if they
felt out of place and the on
lockers thought so, too.
I here is oftentimes some un
written history about public
affairs and in the case OF the
ICudahy Packing House strike

Negro women and girls were
recently employed there and
the foreign white girls object

bench with them and COM

girls on account of their
strength worked faster than

more money. The foreign
girls struck, the men went out
with them and it is the
common opinion that the
strikers demand that their un
ion be recognized was their
hope to GUST the Negroes
from the good jobs.
The Armour strike was said
to be wholly unwarranted and
it was largely the ignorant
foreign employees with small
vicious native element that
went out. The strike was a
surprise to many because the
Armour policy has been very
liberal to its employees, and
one thing certainly can be
said of this house, it has al
ways given the black man a
square deal. Many a Negro
