Bad Break in Editorial.
Sigman explained that an unfor-
tunate editorial, in Justice, official
organ of the international union, in
tended to relate to the Camden, N
j., strike but labelled as referring to
the Chicago strike, had misled some
of the girls as we'll as the bosses and
public.
"No sane union and no sane leader
ship would 60 to the press to discuss
tactics and the calling off Of strike,
said Sigman. eff we had any inten-
ton of calling off the strike we would
come directly to the workers, to you
here" Sigman concluded.
President Sigman made 1t clear
that the International would continue
to support the strike financially, as
we'll as by verbal Encouragement, and
that the executives did not consider
the situation in any way dishearten-
ing.
"Keep up the picket lines full

Release so Strikers On Bonds.
Fifty strikers, who have been
found guilty of contempt of court
by Judge Sullivan for violation Of
his injunction, were released on
bonds yesterday. Their release was
secured pending an appeal to the
appellate court of all cases of
strikers sentenced for contempt.
Nearly the entire day was taken
up in arranging the bends. Orders
made out by the defense attorneys
were objected to By Dudley Taylor
and other lawyers for the bosses.
The objections were technical. Pc
ter Sissman, senior counsel for the
strikers, had sent to Dudley Taylor
copy of the order he proposed
using Thursday evening and Taylor
made no objection till the orders
were produced in court.
All fifty orders had to be made
out again in order to agree with
the ideas of Taylor on what bond
order should be. Finally, late in
the afternoon the orders were
signed and the strikers permitted
to go home after signing them.
Eight strikers were found guilty
of contempt while the others were
waiting for their release. The case
against them was purely perfume
tory and they were all fined 500
and costs. Their cases will also
be appealed
Wants TO Make 1t Good Beating.
Those found guilty of contempt
yesterday and fined were: John Swell
kofski, Mathew Rababskas, Albert
Dubiel, Ben Stein, Klphonse Graham,
Stanley Sklore, Albert Ferguson and
Maurice Ulitsky.
Arthur Weiss, leader of the anti
union bosses, told people who talked
to him recently that the manufact-
urers will fight the union and the
strikers even if the strike is ended
soon. He is reported to have said
that the bosses want to see the striK-
ers so thoroly beaten that they will
not attempt to organize for a long
time.
This decision was reached at a re-
cent meeting of the dress manufact-
urers association, Weiss said. The
bosses are prepared to help Judge
Sullivan send more workers to Jail as
long as there are cases to fight. The
association, according to Weiss, is
anxious to see that more strikers are
convicted for contempt.
Robert Buck, editor of the New
Majority spoke at a strike meeting
at $50 w. Washington street yester-
day afternoon. He told the strikers
that it is only a question of time till
they win and he knew from expert
ence in other strikes that injunctions
cannot break strike if the workers
keep their spirit up.
