ALL CHICAGO
UNIONS BACK
BIC STRUGGLE
Plan Canvass OF All
Organized Labor.

The appeal to all labor unions
in the city of Chicago to give
financial aid to the striking In
ternationaI Ladies' Garment
Workers Union, sent out by
THE Committee of 49," was
unanimously approved at the
meeting of the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor yesterday.
"The Committee of Is" was
empowered to select 20 fedora
ton members to visit the diff
ferent unions in the city and
make a personal appeal for
funds to help the strikers fight
the injunction against picketing.
The officials Of the Federation of
Labor were instructed to issue the
necessary credentials to the men Wis
iting the union.
"The Dress Manufacturers Associa-
ton has the backing of all the anti
labor forces in the city, including the
courts" said Anton Johannsen, in re-
porting for the Committee of Is" ut
is therefore necessary for all the labor
forces of the city to unite in aiding
the striking garment workers"
For several days during the com
ing week we shall run a float thru
the loop, which will describe what
the union is fighting for. The float
divided into two parts, will show the
sweat shop system and the union
shop.
ut will point out that the present
strike of the garment workers is just
a continuation of the fight on sweat
shop conditions"
Garment strikers will sit at sew
ing machines on the float, and there
will be music to attract the attention
of the busy people in the loop The
float, according to present plans, will
be 30 feet long and ten feet wide. It
will demonstrate that the union de-
mands are extremely reasonable, and
that non-union conditions are unbear-
able"
Lauds the Amalgamated
In making plea for the Federation
to get behind the garment strike in a
more concrete way than formerly,
President John Fitzpatrick declared
that altho the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers had not yet come into the
Federation of Labor. its spirit in Civ

and the Federation should take the

Difficulty, Wyo.. Jan. Z. 1924:-
The weather man has been nice to
us for the past few days, and has
sent us perfect spring weather. to
atone for the extreme cold from
which the country suffered last
week. However according to reports
received over the radio last night
the cold spell has extended east,
and on Saturday morning the ter
mcmeter stood at twenty-three de-
grees below at Davenport, Iowa. On
White river in Canada 1t was forty
three below zero, and even in Pitts
burg. Pa, It was Ave below. In the
southern states an over abundance
Of rain was causing destructive
foods. and a great deal OF damage
wa being done Saturday and Sun
day. Wyoming isn't so worse after
all. Speaking OF radio. 1t Is GER
fainly the proper way OF shortening
these long winter evenings. Before
one realizes It the midnight hour
Is at hand and some says
we will now listen to a burlesque
show or midnight frolic from some
place or other. and altho we are
perfectly modest. and unassuming
folks we cannot resist the tempta-
ton to just stay a little while long
e---iust to see-don't you know?
And we cannot help laughing, altho
" course we do not approve OF 1t,
etc. During the past week we have
enjoyed n hundred vocal selections
from Just about everywhere. Every
once in a while some singer makes
the objectionable mistake OF sing
ing n song in such a manner that
some of the words may be under
stood, hut not often. About the only
exceptions are when some one

last week we listened with real in

was watching the %grown-ups dance.
Charlie Nicnois a long whiskers,
and he always twisted them up as n
woman does her hair, and stuffed
them down his collar. when he
placed the violin under his chin.
Gill Kerr used to take n nap once
in n while during the time he saw
ed off a tune for a quadrille. and
when the fiddle began s~queaking he
would awaken with a start, tune up,
and 20 on with the music. No one
ever seemed to notice it If there had
been any discord. Mr.. Bangs and
Mr.. Wolfe. played with a great deal
of pep and as If the dance was of
n great deal of importance. The
most popular callers Of the quadrille

Deacon Sherwin. OF course there
were others but these two were al
