Again on Picket Line.
When Litwinsky refused to
answer questions the dicks let
him go, after an hour, angrily
warning him that he would be
arrested again if he went back
to the picket line. Litwinsky
went back to the picket line in
spite Of their threats, but no
further attempt was made to
arrest him that day.
Exposures Of the methods employ
ed by States Attorney Robert E.
Groves police, in thek attempts to
break the garment strike, which have
been made at the meeting of the
Chicago Federation of Labor and
in the DAILY WORKER, has forced
Groves police to change their meth
DDS slightly.
They try to avoid making the
actual arrests. They ask the reg
ular police to arrest the people who
they want removed from the picket
line. The lawyers of the union have
forced the police to book persons
arrested as soon as they are brought
into the station
No arrests were made during the
day on either the north west or west
sides. More than two dozen pickets
were arrested in the strike district
along S. Market street.
Attorney Arrested.
The police in their anxiety to do
all they could to bother the union
pickets became indiscreet and told
Martin Gordon, an attorney with Of
fees at 127 N. Jlarborn street, to
move on" Gordon told the police
man to mind his own business and
was arrested. 1t was not till he was
taken to the S. Clark St. police sta.
tion that it was found he was not a
striker. Gordon was very indig-
nant and threatened to see that
Judge Trude before whom he will
be arraigned today is told just what
the police are doing in this strike.
Gordon has no connection either with
labor organizations or with the
strikers.

Members of the Young Workers
League who are on strike with the

Y. w. L. Pulls Out Shop.
Several members Of the Y. w. l..
went to a shop at 26 w. Quincy street
and convinced about 10 workers that
they should come out on strike with
their fellows. The new strikers
were led from their shop to the strike
headquarters at 1870 West Washing
ton street where they were registered
and given strike cards.
AS the Y. w. L. members led the
new strikers into the strike head
quarters they were heartily cheered
by the other strikers. One Of the
Leaguers who was too modest TO give
his name said that the Y. w. l.. who
were on strike were going to consider
themselves the shock troops of the
strikers. They were ready to do any
work assigned to them by the strike
committee he said.
Workers from the fifteen shops
which settled last week returned to
their work after holding shop meet
ings where the representatives of the
strike committee gave them instruc-
tions on how to conduct themselves in
the shop till after the other shops
have settled with the union.
Mass Meetings Continue.
Enthusiastic mass meetings were
held at 1870 w. Washington street and
20 w. Randolph street. Meyer Perl
stein told the strikers about the set
Elements made with the fifteen shops
last week and urged the strikers to
stick until the victory which was sure
to come.
