made by the Cloakmakers' Union of
Chicago. The check was turned IN
to us this morning. 1t was volun-
tary donation. In addition, every
member of the G.oakmakers' Union

turned to work are assessing them
selves 10 per cent of their earn

group of members of the University

After the morning picketing is
over the attention of the strikers will
be rivetted on the meeting of the
COMMITTEE of 15" and the "Injunc-
ton Committee" Of the Chicago Fed.
Grafton of Labor. This meeting will
be held at two o'clock this afternoon
and the strikers are hoping for quick,
decisive action in aid of the strike
from the committees. All the strik-
ers are frank in hoping that there
will be call from the committees to
ignore Dennie Sullivan's injunction
and calling on the men of the Chi
cago labor movement to go to the
picket line with the girl strikers.
A subcommittee of the Com
mittee Of 10" consisting of John Fitz-
patrick, Anton Johannsen and Victor
Olander will see Mayor William E.
Dever and tell him how his police
force have been treating girl strikers.
The committee was given a startling
report by the /. l.. G. w. U. on police
brutalities Saturday, but since Satur-
day is half day for politicians, the
subcommittee did not get a chance
to see Mayor Dever.
List Police Assaults.
The report takes a few typical
instances Of brutality on the part of
the police and gives the complete de-
tails of them. No instances were
cited where the union was not in
possession of complete details. In
each instance Of police brutality
cited by the union the names of the
girls assaulted and the numbers Of
the policemen doing the assaulting
are given.
The subcommittee which will see
the mayor win make known TO him
in no uncertain language that the la
Dor movement wants police brutality
TO stop and to stop at once. No ex-
cuses for its continuance will be
taken. The mayor will not be al
lowed TO pass the buck any longer;-
his uniformed men are guilty with
Groves.
