on the chest knocking her down. Then
he had her arrested for assault.
Helen Tippy and Thomas Holland,
who witnessed the assault, both resi-
dents of Hull House, were among
those discharged by Judge Trude
yesterday.
Keep the Courts Busy.
The entire morning session of
Judge Sullivan's court was taken up
with hearing the testimony of Nat
Stein and Abraham Heller, dress
manufacturers. Eleven respondents
were ON trial and Nat Stein said that
he saw all Of them on the picket line
since they were in court the last
time.
He said that he had not known them
before the strike but got to know
them from seeing them on the picket
line. He said that he himself did not
go in the street but stood in the door
way Of his factory at 1913 S. Market
street and from there saw them.
Stein Gets Ratified.
Under cross examination by Peter
Sissman, attorney for the unionists
on trial, Stein grew rather ratified.
He was not so sure that he saw all
the respondents on the picket line.
Then he admitted he didn't know
which ones he had seen and which
ones he had not seen.
He was insistent that he had not
, left his doorway to watch the pickets.
Then he said that he had seen some of
the strikers on trial at Jackson and
Market streets which is little way
from his factory.
"But that was all right" said Stein,
II was there passing on my way to
the factory"
Poor Stein did not seem to realize
that DENIES injunction was not for
the purpose Of preventing bosses from
walking the streets. Dudley Taylor
had neglected to tell Stein that the
writ only tried to keep workers off
the streets.
Not So Sure After All.
Heller testified to the same effect.
Yes, Heller had seen all the respon-
dents on the picket line. Yes, every
day Of the strike. That is every day
but Sunday.
Yes, he saw them there yesterday.
He was sure about that till he was
told that the strikers on trial had
been in court the day before till 4:30
in the afternoon.
Then Heller was not SO sure about
what he had seen. He said it might
have been the day before. But the
strikers were in court all day Tues
day. Well, well, he must be mistaken
but he had seen all Of them on S.
Market street at various times.
Often, surel
After morning spent in hearing
such testimony Sullivan adjourned
court.
Dudley Taylor's efforts to connect
the strikers on trial with picketing in
the strike district came as a surprise
to everybody in court after his furi-
Gus attempts to build up a conspiracy
charge against all strikers the day
before.
Many persons thought that he let
the conspiracy angle drop in order
that the defense might not get a
chance to put him on the stand and
ask him a few pressing questions
about the bosses and their conspiracy
to get all the workers in the gar
ment industry who are on strike into
Jail.
May Put Dudley ON Stand.
II Taylor attempts at any future
time to try to make conspiracy case
out Of the contempt trials it is ex-
pected that the defense will have him
take the stand and try to get from
him what he knows. They expect that
he will fight every attempt to get at
his knowledge because he knows much
more than he is willing to tell.
Everybody knows that If a con-
spiracy exists among the bosses little
Dudley is the brains and backbone Of
! it.
Now Use Conspiracy Charge.
Dudley Taylor, attorney for labor
hating employers generally, and for
the open shop garment bosses in par
ticular, today showed that he and his
paymasters are using the same tao
tics against the garment strikers as
were used recently against the mem
bers Of the upholsterers' union.
Arrested about 100 a. m. yesterday
morning, William Katzin, Harry
Rosen and Oscar Simon--striking gar
ment workers--are to be arraigned
in the Dexter avenue police court and
charged with conspiracy. to violate
an injunction"--the injunction in
question being the one issued against
the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union, it's officers and mem
bers.
The three strikers were taken to
the Office Of States Attorney Grove,
questioned, and sent back TO Jail.
When the attorney for the union APP
peared with request for a writ of
habeas corpus the states attorney
cent notice over that conspiracy
charge had been filed.
