first is the pro-German Illusion and the
second the tendency to luxurious living.

STRIKE DEATH STATEMENT
Gertrude Barnum, special agent of
the garment workers union, gave
out the following statement in con-
nection with the death of Edw. Ton
schek from wounds received in a
strike riot a few weeks ago:
81 hope the 'atTOcity' in the gar
ment strike will prove not to be the
work of any bOna-fde union man.
These charges are commonplace
in labor strike times. For example,
in New York following the strikes Of
1910 eight officers of various ladies'
garment workers unions were held
under Indictment for murder for pc
RODS of from three months to a year
and a half They were even held in
the TOmbs in crowded cells for
weeks at time and were branded
as mUrdereTs in great headlines in
the public press. But the very first
Judge who at last saw the actual evil
dence laid before the grand jury dis
missed the cases against three i'm
uCuldLCly DClOlC J4td45 do LuCLC was
not a scrap of evidence to hold them
on. The jury which finally tried the
rest brought in a verdict of not
guilty after an hour and a half's re-
tiTement. And today a man named
SUlkess, the head of a detective
agency which worked with the Man
UfactuFers' assn to get the garment
men convicted, is under an indict-
ment and under $25, 900 bonds await
ing trial on the well-founded charge
that he laid the plot for leading up
the victim whose death was charged
to the union. Dist Atty Thos. Swan
is prosecuting him.
"a similar outrage was that con-
nected with the Cleveland garment
strike in 1911, where a young union
man was accused of murder. Al

One would infer from the lordly gestures
Of Congress and the inner Cabinet and the

automobile manufacturers were resigned

But as a matter of fact one cannot an
nounce the enforcement Of these radical

the cessation Of automobile manufacture
