CHICAGO. March 23.-Because
they can't keep UP with living costs,
six hundred Chicago policemen and
policewomen plan a walk OUT April
l to force an increase in wages.
This isn't going to be strike,
said Michael O'Connor, president Of
the Policemen's association, today.
"If we don't get what we want the
boys who can't stand it any longer
will quit.
Its impossible to dress decently
on the salary we receive" said Mrs.
Anna Loucks, policewoman. The
cost of women's clothes has gone UP
tremendously and are too expensive
for our salaries
The striking" policemen declare
they will seek work in other lines il
their demands are not met
Chicago patrolmen are now receiv-
ing an average annual wage of $1,000
and are asking yearly increase Of
5000. Policew omen receive an aver
age annual salary of $1,000 and are
asking an increase of 5000. ~
"Patrolmen make from 1894 to
s4.s3 day" said O'Connor. Milk
wagon drivers earn about $4,000 a
week with their salary and commits
sion"
O'Connor declared the quitting of
500 policemen will completely disor.
ganize the police force.
Chicago has 800 policewomen and
half of these threaten to quit.
