tspeeiaI to rhe DaIIy worIkerl


NEW YORK CITY, July II. Both
sides in the garment strike are dig
ging in for long struggle. With
10000 members of the international
Ladies' Garment Wrkers' Union out,
the 1900 shops Of New York are tied
up except in rare instances where the
bosses try to evsde the mass picket
ing. The union has raised a million
dollars strike fund, according to re-
ports.
The necessity for the union to force
responsibility upon the jobbers for the
conditions and wages given by the sub
manufacturers is seen in the fact that
only 25 per cent of the production is
made in the so-ca1led "inside" shops,
the rest being handled by small manu-
facturers to which the jobbers farm
OUT the bundles and which the union
often cannot reach with its control.
The manufacturers are taking an
uncompromising stand, refusing to me-
gotiate with the union on it's strike
demands, demanding that the union
surrender to the proposals Of the gov
.ernor's commission, which ignored the
vital demands of the union.
The union demands and is fighting
for a control of the work, forty-hour
flve-day week, a guarantee Of 36 weeks
work per year and other demands.

protests are being held in all French

asked they all be prohibited as an

In the chamber of deputies, Call
lauv, finance minister and real boss

American Federation of Labor, fol
funds to sustain the families of th'
striking British miners, is announced
by the executive council of the A.. T
of [. as follows:
In response to an official appeal
issued by the officers of the Min
ers' Federation of Great Britain,
asking for aid for the families of
the striking miners of Great Brit
ain, the executive council of the
A. F. Of L. decided to call upon the

izations affiliated with the A. F. Of

used for the purpose of relieving
distress, hunger and suffering
among the families of the miners
who have been on strike in Great
Britain for many weeks.
Cites Distress of Strikers.
The condition of the miners and
their families is deplorable. Women
and children are without any ade-
quate supply of food and clothing.
There is great need for help.
"The action of the executive
council in deciding to appeal for
funds was prompted by sentiments
of humanity.
1T found from an examination
and consideration of all the facts
that most extraordinary, distress
ing conditions prevails in the min
ing sections of Great Britain.
1.-THE money which will Be re-
-eeived in response to this sppeal
viii be used exclusively for the pur-
pose of supplying food. clothing and
the necessaries of life to the min
ers' families who are suffering be-
cause OF the long-continued strike.
I'VE appeal to you to respond
quickly and generously to this call
for help. Let us help our fellow
workers who are resisting a sub
stantial reduction in their living
standards. The cry of the women
and children must appeal to our
generous sentiments. They need
help and need it now"

ions be sent to Frank Morrison, sec

Subway Strikers Show
Unbounded Spirit
Especial to The Daily wOrkerl
BY n. M. WlCKS.

NEW YORK CITY, July II. - The
spontaneous strike of motormen and
switchmen of the Interborough sub
way lines that is gradually extending
to the elevated lines of the company
is now assuming denfiite oreaniza-
tionaI forms.
Called hastily by a newly created
union composed of men that split
away from the fraudulent Hedley-
Connolly union, that was a mere tool
Of the traction magnates to keep the
workers in subjection there was no
preliminary oreanizational work.
The first days of the strike showed
gains simply because of the almost
unbounded enthusiasm and fighting
spirit of the strikers.
The increase in numbers was due
more TO the general upheaval caused
by the walk-out of the "key-men" in
the system, than by conscious organi-
zation on the part of the leadership
of the strike. But today definite or
ganizational steps are being taken.
Committees are being formed and the
methodical work Of extending the
strike is proceeding.
Still Gains Power.
Despite the columns of lies printed
in the capitalist press the strike is
still gaining in numbers and it's effect
is felt more keenly today than any
day since the opening OF the fight.
People who trust to the subway to
transport them to their work, are
hours late and many fares that are
paid are wasted because after enter
ing the subway and sweltering for
hours they are forced to leave at the
first opportunity and seek other
means of travel
Yesterday there were a total OF S62,-
S2S fares paid as compared with
1,952,172 on the corresponding day
last. year. This is loss of 1,0S9.344.
The leaders Of the strike are jubi-
liant over the number OF "L' workers
that are daily joining the ranks and
Harry Bark, one Of the organizers OF
the strikers, declared that there would
be no compromise on the demands OF
the strikers. 1--WE are going to stay

DOVER, N. j., July II. = Eight
years after the world war and while the
United States was supposedly court
ing peace with it's Imperialist rivals,
miIitarism invaded the peaceful eoun-

of at least 100 lives, hundreds suffer

Children Of the Poor Under Fire.
There are several summer camps
for poor children from the New York
slums in the neighborhood. and moth
ing vet has been heard from these
double victims of American militarist
capitalism.
The army arsenal is stin afre and
explosions are continuing at this writ
ing. Rescue parties cannot get with
in even two miles Of the naval arsenal
yet. Communication is cut off with
some of the little towns.
Hundreds Flee.
Hundreds of refugees are fleeing
thru the roads and fields. men. women
and children driven from their ruined
humble homes, going they know not
where, but driven onward like popu-
lation in fight before the destroying
armies of an invader. as tremendous
| explosions shake the country for Nhir-
lty miles around and the sky is filed
with smoke, falling shells, debris,
and hung with flames.
No one yet can tell the number Of
lives lost. Families are separated,
none knowing whom among their
loved ones have perished or may be
among the scores of wounded pouring
into Paterson, Morristown and ad
joining cities, seeking aid at hospi-
tails filled to overtiowing.
From Lightning.
The first official word from the
scene was from a pharmacists mate
sent to the third naval district OF
fee in New York. saying: Naval am
munition depot at Dover struck by
lightning at p. m. Apparently
twenty people are saved"
The lightning struck one Of five
powder magazines, each containing
1000 tons OF powder. The second ex-
plosion FIVE minutes later set off fur
ther explosions; spreading the fire and
.heginning a continuous bombardment
l'of-shells, projectiles and debris.
Guessed Explosion Wouldn't Spread.
The telephone exchange at Butler,
thirty miles away, reports that that
city is under a rain of debris and pro-
jectiles. Pompton Lakes, also Thirty
miles off, reports houses rocked off
foundations, and falling projectiles.
Four companies of the eleventh in
fantry are being rushed from Fort
Jay in New York harbor. Naval and
army officials claim they lack informa-
ton of the extent of the damage.
These authorities had always conjec-
tured that an explosion Of some maga-
zines would not set off the others.
Instead, it spread even to the army
arsenal half mile away Seven hun
dred workmen at the arsenal live in
nearby villages.
