of the l. A. M. took similar action last
week.
1t must be said that the United is
getting little results for its pains, and
the scabs are actually scabbing on
scabs, they are being treated far
worse than scabs usually are. Dur
ing the strikes of the past, scabs were
accorded all protection possible, Civ
en- hotel Accommodations, food and
even the solace of women compan-
ions, besides better pay than the boss
es would grant to the union.
Scabhing on Seabs.
Today, however, union scabs of the
u. G. are scabbing on the scabs. Pay
is not even equal the union scale and
the boss furnished luncheon only the
first two days Then the scabs were
told to go out for lunch as they
would have to get used to it. When
the scabs refused, saying they feared
the strikers, the boss said, "Of course,
we don't want you to get hurt. Wen
send out to get a box lunch for you,
but it will cost you rs cents EACH"
Tuesday, the twelve alleged "cut.
tiers" who have been fooling around in
the cutting room, suffered great
loss. Eight of them walked out and
joined the strike and said they want
ed no more of the worth while
unionism Of the U. G. The four re-

just as we'll not be there for all the
work they do.
Label Girls and Order Writers Walk
Out.
Signs of spunk are appearing in
unexpected PLACES. The label girls.
who tend to the work tickets attach
ed to orders sent thru the workrooms,
and who have never belonged to the
union at all when asked to do some
work customarily done by the work
ers on strike, refused and walked
out.
The order writer's, whose clerical
tasks have never brought them into
the union, when told they would have
to cut, after the foreman or some of
the few scabs have marked out the
suits, refused, saying that they would
quit rather than scab on the union
cutters The bosses we're stubborn
and insisted, and the order writer's
were honorable enough to stand by
their class brothers and quit, joining
the strikers on the streets with loud
acclaim gniuss
A Street Car Convention.
The strike picket line was good as
usual both night and morning, with
the workers from the struck shops
and nearby shops covering the streets.
The scabs have an uncomfortable
time, in spite of the private cars pro-
vided now to sneak them off thru the
alleys. One scab, sort of reckless
like, opined he would go home on a
street car. The strikers reached him
ON a Van Buren, car and talked to
him so convincingly that he didn't
show up yesterday morning.
With all the tricks and the aid of
the scabs from the U. G., not one
garment has been produced that was
made so anyone could wear it, all of
the few turned out have been so i'm
possible that the firm dares not ship
them. lsas IL
Pants and Vest Makers Support.
The Pantsmakers' Local 144 and
Vestmakers' Local 1872, have both held
meetings on Tuesday evening. Both
locals passed a resolution pledging
unanimous support in every way to
the strike and the strikers.
The strikers morale is excellent,
as may be seen by the joyful way
they are taking the police interior
ence, five being arrested yesterday
and an attempt made to brighten them
with all the fol-de-rol Of Juggling them
off in big handouts to the detective
bureau where they were honored by
being finger-printed, mugged and Ber-
tillon measured. But the whole five
turned up smiling when the little
game of the police was overland
that's how all the strikers feel. No
