FUR WORKERS
CONTINUE DRIVE
IN CHICAGO
Beating United Front
of Local 45an d
the Forward

CHICAGO. Ill" May 2s.-The Fur
of the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union, after its
first victorious strike, conducted
against the Kramer's Fur Co., has
now intensified the drive for i'm
provement of conditions and the es-
tablishment of one class struggle
Union that will fight and defend the
interests Of the fur workers in Chi
cago.
On Monday morning, May 18th
the defunct Local As, the Chicago
Federation Of Labor, the United Heb
rev Trades, and the Jewish Daily
Forward, who formerly expelled Jack
Mouchine as a thief of union funds,
united with him, showing their true
colors as protectors of the bosses.
When these takers, Jack Mouchine
and Abe Rosen, the leaders of the
workers in the Evans Fur Co. had
joined the Fur Dept Of the Industrial
Union and that plans were also made
to improve the conditions of these
workers, they offered the boss protec-
ton, and TO see to it that no one
organizes the workers in his shop If
he would sign up with Local As and
force the workers to Join.
The workers on the other hand
issued a statement to the effect that
any agreements between the Evans
Fur Co. and Local As will not be
recognized by them, and regardless
Of any agreement, they will struggle
for conditions under the leadership
of the Fur Dept of the Industrial
Union.
The fur workers Of the city OF
Chicago have witnessed the contrast
between the Industrial Union and
Local No. As and have decided that
the, Industrial Union represents their
interests and under its leadership are
ready TO go forward in struggle for
conditions.
Union Headquarters are located At
119 S. Wells st, 3rd Floor.

Well, they had us working that

MARRIAGES ON
INCREASE HERE
August License Total Far
Exceeds Those of Last
Two Years.

Reaching within seven of the ira
ditional high month of the year
marriage licenses issued in Marion
county during August totaled 349
according to County Clerk Glenn R
RalStOn.
In June, this year, 356 couples af-
f1rmed their belief that two can
live as cheaply as one
The August figures are consid
erably greater than the total of the
same months in the last two years.
August, 1881, recorded 1893, and Au-
gust, 1882, 283.
The nine months total of 1895 is
well ahead of the same period last
year, and there appears little doubt
that 1888 will exceed the 1882 total
of 1892.
The increase is ascribed by Rails
ton to the belief of jobs, higher
wages and return of prosperity, eX-
pressed by the couples who appear
shyly at the marriage license coun-
ter.

Children Grief Stricken
But the children overheard and,
as their mother sobbed, they were
heard crying in a bedroom.
Asked what had been said when
detectives called at the home Thurs
day, Mrs. Peck stated they told her
Peck was wanted as a witness in an
accident case"
Mrs Peck, a frail brunette, who
suffered a nervous breakdown two
years ago and still is under care
of doctor, declared she would go
to her husband as soon as she has
more definite information regarding
the case. The children will go with
her.
The separation, she explained,
was due mostly to financial troubles,
and she declared her love for Peck
is strong as ever.
Shortly the children were playing
on the floor with comic page cut
outs, but their grief had not passed.
Worries Over Daddy
"They won't hurt my daddy?"
Mabel inquired as she looked up
from her play.
Her question followed a cry
from her mother:
Il hope thay won't let the mob
get him. for 1 know he is innocent
and could not have committed this
horrible crime"
Mrs. Peck said she first met Peck
in Danville, Ill, where he managed
theater, and she was in a song and
dance vaudeville act with a sister,
Evelyn Doyle.
They were married in Danville,
moving later to Charlottesville,
where they lived a year They came

KEY TO PROSPERITY

Secretary of Commerce Chaplin hits
the nail on the head when he says that
work is the key to prosperity. He
calls upon national business leaders
to unite in cooperative program for
"vast unemployment of labor" He
sees substantial grounds for moder-
ate, seasoned hopefulness for bust
ness revival. The reasons he gives
are the need for replacement of obso-
lete equipment, exhausted and deteri-
GRATED stocks of goods and desire t.
buy if ''even slight increase in the
workers incomes can be brought
about, or if the present hesitancy can
be replaced by a more hopeful, reso-
lutte mood" 90"
This may sound like the philosophy
of an optimist, but Secretary Chaplin
never prestended to be anything else
He has always looked upon the sunny
side of life and when the turn comes
as it must some day, he will have the
satisfaction of knowing that he has
been consistent. On the whole, his
state of mind is to be preferred to
that of the prophets of gloom who
would have us turn into a nation OF
crepe hangers.
