SohIossberg Arrives.
It was announced at the strike
meeting that Joseph Schlossberg, gen.
eral secretary treasurer of the Anal
gamated, would arrive in Chicago in
time to speak to the strikers at their
meeting this morning.
Isadore Rothbart, business agent
of the pantsmakers, addressing yes
terday's strike meeting at Hold Car
riers' Hall, S14 West Harrison, de-
clared that the desperate attempt of
the International Tailoring company
and the ]. L. Taylor company to Sc
cure an Injunction against the strik-
ers shows that the bosses are hang
ing on by a straw.
Companies Are Licked.
1.-THE companies are licked" Roth
bart said. Never has there been
strike when the workers were more
loyal to their cause. No one is going
back to work until the International
Tailoring company signs an agree
ment with the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers"
The strikers loudly applauded the
statement that it was the rank and
file who had strengthened the Anal
gamated, and who were the backbone
of the present strike. Rothbart
pointed out that the strike showed
the meaning of union organization
| and was an education to the workers.
LINED up against us is everything
that is called the law" Rothbart
said. They are on the side of the
manufacturers, the people who have
money. We have on our side our or
ganized power"
Pickets are now being regularly
assigned, and roll call is being taken.
Wild Rumors Scotched.
| Mike De Novi replied to the rumors
being spread by the bosses that they
were going to move their business
to Rock Island. 1--WE have good or
ganization there" he said, "And the
struggle would go on. But that is
only a rumor spread to confuse the
workers. If they really intended to
move they would keep it secret.
This is more bunk being spread by
| the ulISlluSS VI IuO COAhpoAy'
Injunction Up Today.
This morning at ten o'clock the
bosses bill for an injunction comes
before Judge Hugo Pam, of the SUI
perior court, in room GAL, county
building. Unless another postpone
ment occurs, the demurrer filed by
the defense attorney. William A.
Guinea, will be argued. The demur-
rer states that to grant an injunction
would be a violation of the Cuth-
perior court, in room GAL, county
passed by the Illinois legislature. 1t
also brands the charge of the bosses
of violence" on the part of the pick
cts as untrue.
Pickets on the Job.
There were few scabs. in the build
ing yesterday, and these were not
clothing workers. The International
building, at Jackson Blvd, and Pc
oria St., is still surrounded by the
city police and private sluggers brot
in by the company.
AS the DAILY WORKER reporter
heared the picket line he was ap.
preached by a striker and asked if
he were Looking for work." which
shows that the pickets are 100 per
cent ON the job.
