Garment Workers’ Strike In Chicago Still Continues.

The garment workers of Chicago have been on strike for some time, causing great hardship to their families. Contributions for their support have fallen off and the strikers are dismayed. Thursday strikers assaulted nonunion workmen that were being escorted to their place by the police. A clash ensued in which a policeman shot and killed one striker, fatally wounded another, and which resulted in several injuries on both sides. The strikers used bricks.
