Working Women Great
Aid to Strikers

Landing the United Council Of Work
ing Glass Housewives for their aid
in the struggle Of the paper box work
ers for a decent wage, Fred Cailoa,
strike leader, made public today the
following letter to Kate Gitlow, Sec
rotary of the council.
Dear Madames and Sisters These
few lines can only serve as a very
poor acknowledgement of what your
council did for the striking box
makers.
The Ei,chen, which came in the
nick of time and made possible a
nincteen-week glorious battle, will be
embossed on the minds Of the work
ers for the rest Of their time. Your
anxiety to render aid without the
usual routine and formalities which
very often hamper the essential, is
something to be admired and to be
followed by all workers organiza-
tions. Your spirit should be fostered
so that it may be emulated more and
more as the strue de becomes keener
and keener tina te may be able to
function efficiently and unselfishly in
the interest of the working class.
With deep appreciation, expressing
as l do, the feelings of the box
workers through their general strike
committee and executive board, l am
happy to remain,
Fraternally yours, (signed) FRED
CAIOLA, manager, Paper Box Max
ers' Union of Greater New York.
The United Council of Working
class Housewives is an organization
Of wives of workers, and working wo-
men for the protection of the work
ers' interest. 1t is headed by Kate
Gitlow, secretary, with offices at
237-SS0 East 18th Street, New York
City.
Among the recent activities of the
organization is their active partici-
patton in the Passaic strike, where the
women have opened up and operated
four kitchens in conjunction with the
international Workers Aid, feeding
thousands of workers and children
in the thirteen months struggle
against the embittered mill barons
for a union and decent living wage
This, however, did not limit the coun-
Gil work in other working class fields,
and as soon as the paper box work
ers needed help, the United Council
of Workingclass Housewives was on
the job, Immediately operating the
relief work there.
At the present time the council is
busily involved in the cloak-makers
situation, organizing the women,
raising relief for the needy cloak
makers, and arranging countrywide
mass demonstrations for the uncon-
ditional freedom Of the arrested
cloak-makers.
