OPEN SHOP TOOL
SPIES ON GIRLS
In COUNTY JAIL
Wise Shop Forelady
"Visits" Prison

Rose Grossman, forelady of the
A. Wise dress shop, visited" the Cook
county jail in an attempt to find out
if any Of the girls that were working
in the Wise shop were serving sen
fences for picketing during the Inter
national Ladies Garment Workers
Union 1924 strike.
Vicious Spy System.
All Of the open-shop dress and cloak
shops in Chicago maintain a vicious
spy system The spies employed by
these anti-union companies do their
worst to unearth any labor sympathies
among their employees. When any sym
pathies for unionism are found among
the employees the worker holding those
views is Immediately fired.
A number of girls that were on the
picket lines during the 1924 strike are
working in the open shops. The spies.
fearing that these girls are aiding the
present organization campaign of the
International Ladies Garment Workers
Union, are desperate in their attempts
to find out those that are members of
the union.
Spy Girls in Jail.
A number of workers in the A. Wise
shop asked for a vacation. The fore
lady and the owner of this scab shop
heard that one Of the girls that had
taken a vacation had entered the jail
TO serve a sentence for defying Judge
Sullivan's injunction. Rose Grossman
was then sent to the jail as a visitor"
in an attempt to find out whether any
Of the girls working in the Wise shop
were in jail Every consideration was
given Grossman to see the girls by
the jailers, tho many of the relatives
and near friends Of the girls were de-
MED permission to see them.

Workers VIII Declare
Even Their Brain Food
To Be Unfit for Dogs
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

THE human stream flows two ways
L at the Cook county (Chicago)
jail-"in" and "out" Members Of
the International Ladies Garment
Workers Union, convicted pickets in
the courageous 1924 struggle Of their
organization for improved conditions
in the trade, are riding the crest of
the flow both ways, going in with
spirited smiles upon their faces,
coming out smiling to meet the
cheers and welcomes of their broth
ers and sisters in the industry. The
smiles and cheers are raised in de-
fance of the anti-picketing law bru-
tally enforced by the anti-labor
judge, Denis E. Sullivan.
Perhaps Secretary of Labor James
]. Davis, delivering the message Of
the strike-breaker president, silent
Cal" Coolidge, to the Eucharistic
Congress now gathered in Chicago,
had these jailed pickets in mind
when he declared at the Coliseum
demonstration:
There are elements among us, as
in other lands, which are so dissatis-
fed with life, or rather, with the
life that they know from experience,
that they desire to destroy our
American institutions"
If the Pittsburgh multimiliionaire,
who plays the hypocrite's role Of
secretary of labor in Coolidges cabi-
net, didn't have the garment pickets
in mind when he made that speech,
he did have in mind all labor that
struggles against the American CAPT
talist tyranny and its institutions"
Judge Sullivan, who sent to Jail
mothers, with babes in their arms,
and girls who had to go to Colorado
to fight tuberculosis that breeds in
insanitary factories, or in school to
win an education to escape from the
machine" readily agrees with Sec
rotary of Labor Davis as to the
danger to capitalist American in
stitutions" from these militant wom-
en- of labor.
Raising the cry Of revolution" and
"Bolsheyism," repeating the antics
of the catholic church in its war
against the anti-child labor law, Da-
Wis continued in his speech, and Sui
livan applauds him, declaring that:
These advocates of revolution are
men who abhor all religion, and be-
lieve in neither god nor the life
eternal. The catholic church has
stood like wall of adamant against
the vicious revolutionary procedures
of this class, which are urged osten-
sibly in behalf of labor, but which
really owe their origin in the will
of few to power"
1 thought of the crumbling wall
of adamant," of Secretary Davis, as
l sat on bench in the waiting room
of the county sail, in conversation
with a mother" of the. garment
shops. She was proudly holding a
huge bouquet of beautiful flowers.
The two girl pickets who were COM
ing out on this Saturday afternoon
were both from the shop where she
also worked. The flowers were for
them. They were to be released at
o'clock. But something held them
up until 4:45 o'clock. So there was
three-quarters of an hour TO talk.

look upon the coke and ore and ma
chinery that goes into the steel mills.
He cited the testimony Of John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., before a COMPRESSION
al investigating committee, when he
replied to a question as to whether
he thot that the Is cents per hour
he paid at that time to some of his
workers was a living wage. Rookie
Teller Jr. had stated:
Rockefeller Things Workers Fools.
''If they are fools enough to accept
it, why should l pay them more?"
Foster declared that Judge Ebert
H. Gary, head of the steel trust, looked
upon the steel workers in the same
way.
1.-THE workers must fight for every
protection they get in the steel indus
try declared Foster, pointing out that
it was only the protest of the workers
that caused the announcement of the
abolition of the 12-hour day in the
industry.
All Workers Represented.
The great gathering held in Turner
Hall was representative of all the
workers in the mills, including the
Negro and Mexican workers, many of
whom have been brought in since the
strike. All the speakers urged steel
labor to stand together in spite of diff
ferences of race, religion, nationality
and color. This sentiment was greet
ed with thunderous approval.
James Garnet, chairman of the In
vestigating Committee of Steel Work
ers that organized the protest, was
also chairman of the meeting.
Boris Borisoff, who is working to-
gether with Garnett, in an effort to
protect the interests of the workers,
exposed the fake investigation of the
disaster by company officials and COM
pany tools, as a result of which an
effort is being made to put all blame
on the workers.
.''If we are to accept the verdict OF
Coroner E. E. Evans, then we have
to accept the theory thta the workers
actually and deliberately committed
suicide" declared Borisoff.
Here's the Fake Verdict.
The official verdict, which is ridi-
euIed by the workers, as II has been
announced by Coroner Evans, was
that IL men we're killed "as the re-
suit of an explosion by gas, the
l. htnk
parently the result Of some person,
unknown, opening a valve and allow
inu gas to escape, It becoming ig-
nited from some undiscovered
source"
Three mill officials were called to
testify as to the probable causes OF
the explosion. They were: X. NJ.
Burr, head Of the so-called safety
department" OF the steel trust; Glenn
A. Recktenwall, assistant superintend-
ent Of the coke plant of which the de-
stroyed by-products plant was part,
and Fred A. Weber, pipeftter at the
coke plant. All of their efforts were
directed to whitewashing the steel
trust insofar as any blame that might
be put on 1t.
He Heard "HIs Masters Voice."
Rorison told the steel workers in
Turner Hall Of his visit to the coro-
ner's Office, following the announce
ment OF the verdict, and of the weak
defense the coroner made in support

as much as they. Our shop is union.
1t is union now. We were arrested
for trying to unionize another shop

Arthur Brisbane, the Hearst edi-
torial writer, pointed out that when

a catholic governor, AL Smith, by
catholic mayor, Johnny" Walker,

James ]. Davis, the secretary of
labor, is not catholic. He is not
native-born American. He comes
from Wales and is protestant. Evil
IDENTIFY the class conscious coal min
ers of Wales made it uncomfortable
for him and his kind and he had to
get out. But protestants and catho-
lies are willing to forget their diff
ferences, as they do in the great in
dustrial centers, when labor raises
its head in demand for better living
conditions. That explains the pres
ence Of Davis protestant, in con-
gress of catholics, by special order
Of Colidge, another protestant, to

rested with other officials of the
American Railway Union in an effort
to break the strike of the railroad
workers. They put Debs in a YER
min infested cell, which was also
the nightly playground of huge
sewer rats.
Someone sympathized with Debs
and slipped rat terrier into the call
to keep the rats away. A little while
later the dog was heard bowling as
if his very life was in danger. The
Jail warden Immediately got him out.
He saved the dog from the rats.
But Debs was forced to remain in
the cell.

The day will come when workers
will also reject as unpalatable the
brain food that is given them in the
kept propaganda Of the ruling CAPT
talist class. The speech of Score
tary of Labor Davis at the eucharis-
tic congress was such subversive
propaganda. The workers who do
not now reject 1t will some day re-

THROUGH PACKAGE
SERVICE IS GIVEN
BY TRACTION FIRM
Beneficial to Shippers of In
dianapoIiS and Other
Points on System.

Inscidental to the rapid increase in
the freight business of the Union
Traction Company of Indiana there
has been an interesting development
of the through package car service
which has proven beneficial to the
shippers of Indianapolis and other
points on the Union Traction sys-
tenn, according to Mr.. Douge, local
freight agent for the company.
AS one of the pioneers of cleo
trio railway freight transportation.
the Union Traction Company was
early in the field with through pack
age cars between Indianapolis and
all points on it's own lines. This serv-
ice was extended to Marion. Koko-
mo. Peru, Wabash. Button. Port
land, Union City, New Castle and
many other points local to the Union
Traction lines.
Within recent years che popular
ity of the through package cars, in
which shipments are handled to and
from far distant points, has been
capitalized upon by the Union Trac-
ton management to a far greater
extent than ever before. Package
cars now are operated between such
distant points as indianapolis and
Detroit. Kalamazoo. Muskegon,
Flint. Pontiac and other Michigan
points: and between Indianapolis
and Toledo. Lima, Cleveland and
Akron. Shipments from points on
the Union Traction system are
handled'in through package cars be
tween Muncie and Dayton and
Springfield, Ohio.
In Indiana, these cars convey
freight without transfer between
Indianapolis and Huntington, FIT
Wayne. Auburn. South Bend, Elk
hart, Warsaw, Goshen and many
other cities. The Union Traction
Company. Douge says, is always in
position. with a few hours notice
to supply cars for through transit
of carload shipments to practically
any point on the electric railways
Of Indiana, Ohio or Michigan.
