and the signing of the agreement by
smaller bosses, further emphasizes the
weak condition Of the Dress Manufac-
turers in the loop.
The long and strong strike Of the
plucky garment workers against their
too-smart bosses is making big hole
not only in the bosses bank but also
in the ranks of their association. The
submission of the Hymen shop will
undoubtedly draw other association
bosses with it.
Two small firms at 302 So Market
street, Weiss and Garinkle, and sever
al other small dress manufacturers
have had to go out Of business be-
cause Of the garment workers strike.
A few of these firms settled early to
have their work completed, and, fail
ing to meet the expense of their pre-
vious participation in the strike, they
closed their shops entirely.
Judge Knows No May Day.
Thirteen injunction cases came up
/ before Judge Charles Foell this morn
ing. They were postponed from yes
terday. May Day means nothing to a
Superior Court Judge. He isn't in the
class of workers that counts the first
of May the greatest Of all holidays.
1t is possible that these cases may
be again put off because of long
murder trial which the court must
hear first
The cases of the seven girls who
were arrested late Friday evening on
Market street have been set for May
6 before Judge Hebel. The girls had
to be taken to the Judges home be-
fore their release could be secured, as
no court was in session after six D.
M, when they were arrested. Hebel
is the third judge to take garment in
junction cases.
Twenty-eight cases come before
Judge Sullivan on the same day, May
6, unless they are defaulted by the
prosecution or put off again.

The striking garment workers are
planning lively May Day celebration
today They have an excellent con-
cert planned and several good speak
ers will address them. Vice-President
Perlstein will be one of the speakers
to deliver May Day message to the
striking workers who have proven
themselves a real force for their en-
ployers to reckon with.
The strikers held poppy dance
in their usual strike meeting time on
Tuesday.
More unions are contributing funds
to help the garment workers finish
their fight triumphantly. Local 275
of the Painters contributed 500 at its
meeting Tuesday night and offered
assistance to the Pullman strikers
whenever they should ask aid.
The garment workers are as deter
mined as ever to keep their fighting
ranks intact until every one of the
dress manufacturers has signed with
the union. Their recent victories have

Differences Dropped For Strike.
Neither injunction, arrest, intimida-
ton of police and hired sluggers, nor
Inducements offered individually by the
bosses have succeeded in breaking the
united ranks of the strikers or in les
SEEMING their determination to get their
well-deserved victory.
All differences among the members
of the International Ladies' Garment
Workers were dropped at the first
hint of strike call and the expelled
members have shown themselves to
be entirely with the union members
against the exploiting bosses. They
have been among the most active in
carrying on the strike. The expelled
members have appealed their case to
the General Executive Board of the
international and expect to go to Bos-
ton to be at the convention when their
case comes up.
