STRIKE STRONG
WHILE PERLSTEIN
STAYS IN BOSTON
"Dennie" And Taylor
Whet Teeth For So

The lull in the garment strike here
does not require that vice-president
Meyer Perlstein leave the exhiIirat-
ing scene of the convention of the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Workers
Union, in Boston, according to Miss
Romer, Perlstein's secretary. The
vice-president had expected to come
back about the middle of this week
if the situation here demanded, but
his plan now is to return at the end
of the following week.
No court cases come up today, but
tomorrow will find Judge Charles M.
Foell running hot race with Judge
"Dennie" Sullivan in adjoining court
rooms. Some fifty-two cases are Stat
ed for Sullivan's annoyance and about
twenty for Judge Foell
Taylor Keeps Dennie in Trim.
Donnie" will undoubtedly win for
the amount of fines imposed, even if
the sum is averaged by the number
Of pickets tried. Sullivan was in a
mean mood when he last sentenced
the garment strikers and dosed them
out Jail sentences as well as fines
of $3.50 or more apiece. He may be
in better humor tomorrow and salts
fly the bosses a little less, tho Dudley
Taylor, attorney for the dress manu-
facturers, keep Sullivan toeing the
mark of severe sentences pretty
closely.
One of the cases to come before
Sullivan is that of Meyer Barkan, who
spent another night in the lousy coun-
ty Jail when he was arrested for con
tempt. This is the second time Bar
kan has been treated to the inhospit-
able quarters of tho Jail

The other cases coming before Sui
Ivan tomorrow are those of: Gertrude
Hansen, Mary Shinska, Dora Rubin,
Ida Borkan, Sarah Orlove, Rebecca
Shore, Rose Poster, Ida Kaufman,

Bosses Dicker.
Several bosses are negotiating with
the union for terms but they are un-
willing to accept the demands made
by the garment workers when they
went out on strike, February 9th. It
is possible when vice-president Perl
stein returns that the bosses and the
union officials may reach some settle
ment, but the committee in charge of
the strike in Perlstein's absence have
no authority to compromise the strike
demands to gain settlement with
any boss.
The summer dress season should be
well on in the shops by now but this
season has been slack and to some
extent the dullness of trade worked
against the striking dressmakers. The
regular work should pick up within
a few weeks and make the bosses
more eager to come to terms.
The strikers are determined to hold
their lines intact until they can go
back to work on the conditions They
themselves have set. If they can sur
vive this critical short period as well
as they have the long weeks past Of
the strike. they surely should gain the
victory they are hoping for.
