Six more of the mutinous officers

Note.-Joseph MacGrath, minister
of industry and commerce IN the
Cosgraye cabinet, offered his resig-

mutiny in the army was made pub

COMMITTEE OF is
FACES INJUNCTION
CHALLENGE TODAY
Support on Picket Line
Is Strikers Need

The challenge which Judge Denis
Sullivan has flung in the face of or
gained labor by sentencing Florence
Corn to 80 days in the county prison
under his infamous injunc>yn in be-
half of the scab dressmaking shops is
the most pressing issue before the
Committee of Is" of the Chicago
Federation of Labor which meets this
afternoon in the Federation Building.
166 w. Washington st.
Florence Corn's place on the picket
line must be taken. The place OF
other girls who may be Jailed for
maintaining tn cir constitutional
rights and obeying the instructions
Of the American Federation of Labor
must be filled. Strikers are looking
to the COMMITTEE of Is" to give sup
port on the picket line. The Chicago
Federation of Labor has pledged full
assistance to the strike and now is
the time it is most needed.
Right To Walk the Streets.
In line with previous declarations
of the American Federation of Labor
the committee is expected to issue
a ringing declaration against the in
junction against the right to walk
the public streets. The question
which strikers are puzzled about is
what methods the committee will use
to arouse the workers and general
citizenry of Chicago to the denial of
ordinary civil rights in the garment
zone.
Mass meetings and publicity will
be discussed by those members of the
Committee who are determined that

Special to The Daily worker,

DUBLIN, March 19.-Troops to-
day surrounded public house in
Parneel Street where mutinous army
officers were hiding, forced an en-
trance and arrested nine Of the off
GERS who had fled to the roof.
The arrests came after a siege Of
nine hours in which machine gun
units, armed cars and scores Of
troops and police participated.
At 2:30 a. m. troops and police
surrounded the house following a
report that the mutineers, headed
by General Tobin and Colonel Dali
ton were holding meeting.
Surrounded by Troops.
A messenger was sent to the
door to demand that the mutineers
surrender. His answer was a vol
ley of pistol shots.
Additional troops with machine
guns and armored cars were called
at once and Gordon thrown about
the entire block.
A huge crowd gathered despite
the intermittent firing.

SulliUon's Brutal Sentence Challenge to Labor
BIRDS EYE VIEW OF
BIG CHICAGO GARMENT
STRIKE ENCOURAGING

The big Chicago dressmakers'
strike began Feb. 27, with the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union in control. Demands
were for the 4o-hour week, with
pay for a.; the union shop and
sanitary conditions.
Thirty-6ve hundred workers
were originally involved of whom
1000 have returned to work in
more than 20 shops which have
settled with the union, conceding
all demands.
More than $50 pickets have been
arrested, mostly on "disorderly
conduct" charges and a few on
assault" charges. All demand
jury trials.
Nine have just been convicted
under the Sullivan injunction, one
to 30 days in Jail. Ten more in
junction cases pending.
Police brutality has been ex-
treme. Sophie Altschuler was beat
en- into insensibility and others
badly hurt by police and private
thugs.
The Chicago Federation, which
promised full support, appointed
a Committee of Is" to act for the
strikers. 1t is meeting today. A
special Citizens Committee" has
protested against police violence
and is urging employers to con-
sent to collective bargaining.
Strike prospects are good.

GIRL STRIKER
CONVICTED BY
BOSS JUDGE.
Florence Corn Smiles At
Injunction Sentence


Florence Corn, the heroic
picket whose example has in
spired scores of girls in their
fight against the. sweatshop
conditions of the non-union
dressmaking shops, was sem
fenced to 30 days in the county
jail by that VIGOROUSLY labor
hating Judge, Dennie Sullivan,
on a charge of violating his
injunction.
Attorney Peter Sissman hopes
to halt the sentence by writ
while appeal is being taken.
We Need More Florences.
AS Miss Corn was being led
away from the presence cf the boss
lackey, misnamed judge, she
smiled and urged her fellow workers
to continue the fight which has al
ready whipped more than 70 bosses
into line.
Sullivan's viciousness showed all
thru the trial-at which he was
judge and jury. 1t showed especial
ly at the end when he referred to
the brave worker in the labor
movement as one "who deserved no
consideration from society,"
Miss Corn was the first of the
girl strikers to come before Sulli-
van for contempt of court on a
charge of picketing and in other
ways ignoring the sacred writ which
"Dennie" presented to his friends
and patrons, the dressmaking bosses.
All thru the trial he proved the

judges are tools of the EMPLOYERS.

ing the case against Florence.
Donnie" was all attention. When
Sissman, her lawyer, put Florence
on the stand to testify in her own
behalf, "Dennie" was very. impa-
tient.
Trial a Farce.
The written answer that Florence
presented in answer to the charges
made against her "Dennie" did not
look at once from the time it was
handed TO him till he had passed
sentence.
The entire hearing was a farce
from beginning to end.
In the first place Florence was
charged with proving herself inno-
cent while every criminal who is
brought into court Is surrounded bv
the presumption Of his Innocence
and the prosecution must prove his
guilt.
In the second place, "Dennie' did
not pay any attention to the defense
Florence did make. While she was
on the stand and when he sentenced
her, "Dennie" acted like a whipped
snarling cur.
The first witness called to testify
Tor the prosecution was William
Maggie, deputy sheriff who said that
on March 9Th, he served COPY of
the injunction on her. He also said
that on March 9Th, Florence Corn
was arrested for assault on the sister
OF Leonard WoIman, who is working
IN her brothers dress shop.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Harry
NJ. Daugherty, criminal attorney-gen-
eral Of the United States, has a corps
OF publicity experts engaged in sland-
ering every witness who testifies to
any OF the malodorous activities in
which the defender Of the sanctity-
OF the law was engaged. He has dug
deep into the personal history of

who long after her divorce from
Daugherty's born companion and as
sociate in crime, was a welcome visi-
tor to the Daugherty home and a fire.
quent guest at his dining table.
Put Him Where He Belongs.
CASTOR B. Means, once his conf
dental friend and favorite investiga-
tor, is now merely criminal, because
the easy virtued Mr.. Means does not
hesitate to spill the beans whenever
ne can save his own hide or feather
his nest by so doing.
Daugherty's position is now hone
less, but he stays on because he can
not quit; he IS in much the same fix
as the man holding on to the bears
tan. The committee has enough evil
dence on him already to send him to
jail for the rest Of his life.
Owing to severe cold from which
Senator Burton K. Wheeler is suffer-
ing, the committee took no further
testimony today after hearing Maco
Stewart, a Galveston, Texas, lawyer,
who charges the Department Of JUS
tlce with failure TO prosecute and
suppress lotteries.
Richard Spills Beans.
Tex Richard, noted fight promoter,
is in Washington ready to tell all be
knows about the fight films. Tex de-
MED that he made a statement to the
effect that che would bet a million
dollars on Daugherty." Richard is a
wise owl and knows that Daugherty
is not now worth ten cents political
ly, and the fight promoter does not
care to hitch up with a political
corpse.
The committee was quite exasperat-
ed with the manner in which William
A. Orr, former secretary to Ex-Gov-
ernor Whitman of New York, repub-
lican committeeman, we'll known in
quarters where graft is treated with
courtesy. Wheeler believes that Orr
knows much more about the fight pic
lures than he admitted and the inten-
ton is to make him cough up. Tex
Richard is expected to aid materially
in jimmying the truth out of the re-
luctant Mr.. Orr.
d. of J. Blocks investigation
The Department Of Justice is block
ing every effort of the Wheeler COM
mittee in this investigation. The mys-
FERROUS Howard Warrington, Little
Green House" habitue and personal
friend Of the Encouragement is said
to be in Paris. The committee is hot
on his trail. Witnesses against
Daugherty are now Offering their
services in such numbers that Il may
be over a week before the heads Of
the navy and treasury departments
are called to tell Of their connection
with the 100000 bride paid by the
