Donald Chase, Of Union Theological
Seminary, who was present in the
mass picket line, was struck in the
face by Patrolman Wolf. He made
an individual complaint and is also
being asked to come to the hearing.
Other complaints have been made by
Norman Thomas, Florence Geller,
Juliet Poyntz and many strikers.
1t is interesting that Mathew Wolf
admitted on the witness stand when
cross questioned by the lawyer for
the union, that he knew the man who
is leading the open shop for the bosses,
for the last seven years.
The union has crowded mass meet
ings daily. Committees are being sent
to all workers to be on the picket line

other trades.

The Consumers League, an organi-
cation headed by Mrs. Daniel O'Day,
wrote the following letter to man
agers> of the department stores which
are using boxes made in the shops
still on strike:
After attending the hearings at
the City Hall on the box-makers'
strike, the executive committee of the
Consumers League feels deep SYM
pathy with the efforts of eminent
citizens and the city authorities to
bring about a conference or arbitra-
ton between the strikers and their
former employers.
"The Paper Box Makers Associa-
ton has refused all forms of confer
ences, declaring that there is at pres
ent no strike-a statement which We
find is not borne out by the facts.
"We are appealing to you as one
of the immeolate consumers of the
product involved to use your good OF
tices with the box manufacturers to
induce them to meet their former en-
ployes and to put an end to the bad
sanitary conditions under which, if
we are correctly informed, many Of
these boxes are made.
"The Consumers League feels its
20 ko e., -ao,,..o Iooo,,t xt-orlyiour
conditions for the people who make
the goods which the league members
enjoy. That is why we are turning
to you, confident Of your eo-opera-
tion in this enterprise.
Sincerely yours,
MRS. DANIEL O'DAY,
