The lockout is now nearly two months
old. 1t did not come the way industrial
disturbances usually do, on the wind
of excitement; it sneaked into New
York. One day the clothing industry
was slaek--it had been slack for months.
People had come to take partial en-
|ployment as almost the normal course
of life. Diseouragement was in the air;
all through the industry there was a
coming and going of men looking fruit
lessly for jobs. And then came the lock.
out. The employers imagined that they
were strong enough to brow-beat the
workers into taking any terms, even
terms which would smash the organiza.
tion.
Now for eight weeks curious thing
has been in progress all through the
halls where the workers meet daily.

A Letter from Louise Bryant.

Moscow, Nov IA, 1920.
Dear Max
/ knew you would want details and
= story for the Liberator-but | did
not have either the strength 0r the
courage. As it isl viii be abe to
write only very incoherent letter aud
you may take from it what you wish.
Jacks death and my strenuous under
ground trip to Russia and the weeks of
horror in the typhus hospital have quite
broken me. At the funeral I suffered a
very severe heart attack which by the
merest scratch I survived. Specialists
have agreed that / have strained my
heart because of the long days and
nights watched beside Jacks bed and
that it is enlarged and may not get ever
well again. They do not agree, however,
on the time it will take for another

He would have died days before but
for the fight he made. The old peasant
nurses used te slip out to the Chapel
and pray for him and burn chandie
for his life. Even they were touched
