Refused RAISE
Rumors of Settlement on
Present Terms

The Chicago Surface Lines today
refused to consider employees de-

crease.
The rejection capped a series of
meetings extending over a week. and
was based, company officials aunoun-
ced. on the ground that to grant the
raise would eliminate its annual net
earnings.
Leaders Say Nothing.
The union officials made no com
ment when the employers issued this
announcement. The general belief is
that there is an understanding be-
tween the company and the leaders of
the traction employees, to maintain the
present scale. Color is lent 10 this
supposition by the fact that since
Mahon's arrival in the city to lead the
negotiations he has not stressed the
mems demands for a wage raise but
introduced a proposal on sickness and
death insurance.
According to a statement recently
made by William Quinlan, president of
local 241 of the surface employees the
men have unanimously gone on record
for a per cent increase.

ceptance Of jail sentences instead Of
payment Of fines growing out of pick
citing activities is likely to become
the policy of 10000 striking cloak
makers, If the police continue their
wholesale arrests.
This was gathered from the ap-
plause which greeted such advice
given by prominent union leaders at
series of strike mass meetings held
throughout the city yesterday.
Let us use our funds to wage our
strike successfully instead of paying
fines. Two or three days in jail do
not matter" This was the sentiment
expressed and applauded when nrst
brought up by Abe zirlin, strike lead
I er.
Morris Sigman. president Of the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Workers
Union, speaking at Manhattan
Lyceum, 66 East 4th Street, gave ex-
preston to the same sentiment when
he declared:
What Are A Few Days jail.
"As workers you spend life time
in the factories which is equivalent
to a Jail sentence. What if you have
to spend couple of hours in Jail. Our
enemies, the employers, can only feel
our strength on the picket lines and
you must, by all accounts, maintain

1t is urged, however, that, in ex-
ercising their Legal right to picket, the
strikers should net congregate in any
one spot and should constantly keep
moving.

were showing signs of weakening.
Their appeals to, Governor Smith, Dis

LOWELL, Mass, July 22.-About
200 weavers and loom-fxers went out

caused by the company's clever re

would be inhumanly speeded up to in

would be cut about 1870.

This was TO affect only about 20
weavers. at first, but the other work
ers understood that their turn would
come soon. When the 20 walked out
on strike, the other $50 weavers came
out with them, at once followed by
the loom-fxers, and several OF the
feeders, so that in all about 200 walk

Bad Conditions.
The situation requiring only this
small spark to set off the explosion
was long brewing. The mill was al
ways without ventilation, so that even
in winter. the temperature of the
work-rooms was 80 degrees and In
summer, altogether unbearable. This
mill is insanitary, has no rest rooms,
and is a veritable prison pen.
The workers in this mill were never
organized; they won a strike a year
ago, but since they returned without
union to enforce their victory. they
lost 1t completely during the next few
months. They have learned that les
