% STRIKERS
TAKE ALOOK AT
"DENNIE". TODAY
Victory Indicated By
Split In Association

Twenty-eight garment strikers
walked into Judge Donnie" Sullivan's
courtroom this morning to see what
the old fellow had to say about their
right to walk the streets.
The strikers are facing the injunc-
ton judge with confidence. Fresh
in their mind is the fact that one of
the leaders in the bosses association
and one of the first bosses to get an
injunction had to sign a union agree
ment the other day.
Strikers say that Hymen's former
associates in the Chicago Dressmak-
ers' Manufacturers organization win
have TO give up their open shop ideas
if they want to get ready for the sum
mer rush.
Some Of the strikers have been car
rying on useful educational work
among their fellow workers against
the overtime evil.
They are pointing out that unem-
ployment prevails in the garment in
dustry and that as long as single
worker is out of a job overtime is
treason to the working class.
AS strikers return to work in settled
shops they are more and more refus-
ing to work overtime.

WELDERS and

Lockout Threats

Welders and bench-finishers
walked out of the Pullman plant
in a unit yesterday and Joined
the strike of the riveters, buck
ers, reamers and heaters.
Some of the inside finishers
have been laid off and they de-
clare that there has been almost
no work for the past two weeks.
Plan General Lockout
The officials of the Pullman Com
pany are seriously concerned about
stopping the spread of the strike, and,
according to the report of one Of the
general soremen to pickets, the off,
Gals have practically decided that a
general lockout and shutdown is the
only way for them to smash the union
and get their men back.
The foreman said that the strike
was 100 per cent effective, and not
car had left the plant. He told pick
cts that the company officials consid-
cred twofxeeks' lockout would bring
all the men back at the reduced
wages.
Would Help the Strike.
The strir on. the picket line re-
torted thacral general lockout Of the
men, if actually called by the officials,
would help their strike more than
hinder it; that it was only question
of time until the wages of the men in
other departments would have been
cut and forced them into active bat
tie.
Max Shachtman, editor of the
Young Worker, spoke so well at the
strike meeting yesterday morning
that he was invited to come again.
He pleaded for the men to organize
in the Brotherhood of Railway Car
men, urged mass picketing, told of
the speed-up effects of the sweatshops
of New York's garment industry, and

Of Labor spoke to the meeting. John

Misled workers from Milwaukee,

towns attended the strike meeting

the strikers that nothing is doing in

is going on is the boring out of rivets

Call Big Mass Meeting
For Wednesday Night

Amalgamated Food Workers are
confident of victory in their fight to
organize the Greek restaurants of
Chicago and smash the IL to 14-hour
day and the seven-hour week.
Two restaurants have already
signed the union terms, said Organ
izer John Stewart of the Amalgamat-
ed. They are the Vivian" at 2346
Lawrence avenue, and the Cosy
Lunch" at 2426 Lincoln avenue.
The strike is expected to spread
this morning to four more restau-
rants, and Stewart believes that the
movement started May Day will
shortly change the entire face of the
Greek restaurant industry, which has
been entirely unorganized until now.
