Nichi Nichi, japanese newspaper

PENNSYLVANIA Boss e S
Try Terror to Curb
Strike Wave

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July Co.
Thirty five thousand workers, by a
conservative estimate, are now out on
strike in the State of Pennsylvania,
against intolerable sweatshop condi-
tons and for wage increases and the
right to organize,
Among the new strikes today was
the one at the Eclipse Needles Co.,
shirt plant, where 500 workers walked
out When the company bosses lock-
ed the doors the workers smashed
them down and left the plant.
Police terror is being more and
more invoked by the bosses to curb the
rising strike wave. In Lansdale, Pa,
the picket line of 400 was met by tear
gas hurled by sheriffs' deputies and
10 pickets were arrested.
Governor Pinchot was forced TO is
sue statement that he was forming
tentative opinion" that this use of
tear gas was illegal"
II was brought out today that
the police commissioner and Boro
Councilman in Lansdale, S. Homer
Kendig, is himself mill owner.
This was revealed in a suit by a
I7-year old girl Inez Pierce, for SIG
in wages which was held back by
Kendig's mill.
At the Merton Worsted Mills, in
West Conshohocken, police attacked
300 strikers, who put UP militant
resistance.
The day was also featured by a
preliminary report of the Legislative
Sweatshop Investigating Committee
which, while admitting that sweat
Shops exist, tries to give the bosses
a clean bill of health by saying that
the industrial establishments of
Pennsylvania generally speaking, are
wholesome and decent
If that statement is true, what are
so many thousands of workers of
